Thank you for joining us today in our daily Christian prayer podcast with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, wherever you are. May the power of God be with you. If you need us, if you need a prayer request, please hit us up on the email account, which is info at dailyprayer.uk. You can find us on there, you can find us online on that on our lovely site that we got pressing away at the moment across the world. Please use that site. Have a look through there, dailyprayer.uk. But really and honestly and truthfully, if you really need us, please we're here. We are here for you.
If you need us, we are not AI, we are real people, we are real men and women in the studio, and we are praying and we are hoping that God is moving in your life. And I believe He is, but never give up. We are real, and these prayers are real. Everything we do in this studio, from the radio to the giving out of Bibles and everything we do in this podcasting studio, this radio studio, everything is real. It's not polished up. I don't want you to think that we're polishing anything up. This is not about showmanship, this is about hanging on to life in desperation through the power of
prayer. Yeah, sometimes we got to get real, we've got to put the smoke machines away, we've got to put all the the toys of religion away, all the gadgets, and we got to get down to the brass tacks, and we got to pray like we've never prayed before because we are living in end days. And let's pray together
now. You know, as we're in 2 Thessalonians chapter 3, verse 3, the Lord is faithful. I've got to tell you, the Lord is faithful. Lord, we thank you that you are faithful. The Lord is faithful according to the word. 2 Thessalonians chapter 3, uh, verse 3, and this is what the Bible says But the Lord is faithful, and he will strengthen you and protect you from
evil. Father, in the name of Jesus, we need strengthening today because our bones are weary. Lord, our backs, Lord God, Lord, our head is held low, our spirits are low, we feel washed out, we feel pushed aside. Lord, we don't know where we're going. Sometimes, Lord, it feels like we got no direction whatsoever. It feels like we're just walking around this land, Lord God, just consuming up materialism. Lord, Father, I pray today, Lord, that we won't just wander around like lost sheep. But Father, we will know that our Lord is the good shepherd and we are under your provision, that we are under your care. But Lord, we need help, Father. We need help. Lord, you tell us that you are faithful, Lord, and we need this faithfulness today. Because Lord, we are letting and we have been let down by people in our lives, situations, and Father, it's getting too much now. Lord, it's getting too much, Father. We need your faithfulness, your love, your mercy, your power. And Lord, we need strength. Lord, will you strengthen us and protect us from the evil one? Father, all we're hearing is the noise, the noise of the evil one. Father, we want protection. You tell us through the book of 2 Thessalonians, chapter 3, verse 3, you tell us so clearly, Lord, that you are faithful. You are faithful, and Lord, our hearts cry, our tears are running, our heart is beating, we are stressed and tired, and we need our God. We need our God to show up. Lord, will you strengthen us and protect us from the evil one? Father, we need guidance and hope, Lord, and mercy.
And as we come together across the world from every corner of the globe, Father, we thank you that you are delivering us from evil, that you are setting the captives free today. Lord, we thank you for the prayer prayer of the prayer of protection. We thank you, Lord, that spiritual warfare prayer is happening right now and the power of God is over our lives. Father, when darkness, depression appears, we thank you that the light of Christ will shine from us because we carry light, we carry word, we carry the power of God. And right now, Lord, as we pray for the listeners that are going through spiritual warfare and ourselves, Lord, as we are against the wire. Lord, we're at the wire, we're at the fence, Lord, of life. Lord, we're on that edge. The tarmac road has run out. Lord, we got nowhere to go. Lord, we're at the Red Sea. Lord, there are situations in lives now. Lord, there are situations in our lives where, Lord, it looks like we ain't gonna make it. We don't know what way to go. Lord, we've got everything balancing. We've got everything in the air.
Lord, the money is gone. Lord, almost the faith is at the lowest level. We've never heard it before. Father, the fears are high. The money is low, fears are high, anxiousness are here, Lord. We are trying to find, dear God, vision in the fog. We can't find vision in the fog. We need strengthening right now in the name of Jesus. And Lord, we pray for protection, safety from harm. God shield over our house, our lives, everyone in the circle of our life. We pray for deliverance from evil and darkness. Lord, we pray for divine covering with angelic guidance in the name of Jesus. Father, release those heavenly hosts. We need, Lord, for them to lift us up in their hands so that we will not strike our foot against a rock. Because, Lord, we keep striking the rock. Lord, we're tired and we're exhausted. We got two jobs, we got three jobs. Lord, we're struggling to pay the bills. We need security in uncertain times. Protect us as we're traveling from work, in work, from school, out of school. Protect us on our travels. Help us to stand firm in the armor of God. Victory over fear and temptation. Father, give us faith in God's faithfulness. Lord,
we gotta be faithful in you. But Lord, there are prayers that we are praying that are crazy. There are words that we are saying in our head that are absolutely crazy. But Lord, we are praying stuff that we never thought we'd pray. We're praying stuff that we never thought we'd hear our self say. Lord, we're praying stuff that the church would absolutely lock the door on us and not help us. But Lord, we need help. We need help today. Right now at the hour, we need the fire of God. And Lord, we make this a life application today. 2 Thessalonians chapter 3, verse 3. The Lord is faithful, he strengthens and protects me. Oh, come on, let's start each day with this promise in the name of Jesus Christ. He's with you and he will never leave you nor forsake you. You're okay. You're okay, you know, those thoughts and those prayers, they're okay. Don't give up. You keep praying, you keep believing. See yourself moving in that new place. See yourself moving out of that position. See yourself with certain people removed out of your life. See yourself with peace and courage. May the God that we serve encourage you and carry you. May God bless you until tomorrow.
