We're going to go to Psalm 23 and we're in verse 1. And I love this scripture. It is one of those scriptures that is always alive and well. And wherever you are today, the Lord is your shepherd, you lack nothing. Psalm 23, verse 1. The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. Father, I thank you that you are our shepherd and we lack nothing. And right now, as the world sleeps, Father, we pray that you will fill us with the love of God, the power of the Holy Spirit, Lord. You will remind us, dear God, that you are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Father, I pray, Lord, for the rhythm of our heart today, that we will feel your love and your mercy and your grace and your favor. We thank you that the shepherd, the good shepherd, does never sleep. You do not drift, you do not distance yourself from us, Lord. You are watching and you are leading and you are covering us, Lord. I thank you, Father, that we are covered with the blood of Jesus. Even in the hours of fear, the loneliness and the overthinking. Lord, I pray that we will rise in the name of Jesus Christ. Father, we come to you right now and we ask for miracles in our lives. Lord, you will make a way where there is no way. You are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And Father, I ask you right now across the world, from London to Tokyo, Sydney, dear God, all the way to East Anbor. Let the power and the love of Jesus be with over every listener today, that they will
know that you are their shepherd. And right now we're going to tell the world, let our hearts say it aloud. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not fear nothing that comes my way. Lord, I thank you right now that the believers are walking in healing. Lord, I thank you that they're walking in goodness. Lord, they are standing on the rock of all ages. Lord, we trade our worry for peace. We trade our fear, dear God, for hope. We trade our exhaustion for rest in the name of Jesus. We trade our fear for confidence in the shepherd that never fails us. But right now, wherever we are gathered across this beautiful world, we need peace for the day, Lord. We need to be able to rest right now in the name of Jesus. Father, we're weary and we're tired, but Lord, we come to you. We thank you for the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit, the deity, the power of God, the goodness of God. And we're asking for comfort when we feel alone at night. We're praying for God's protection while we sleep. Anxiety and fear before bedtime to go at the name of Jesus. We're praying for calm thoughts and a quiet mind. Emotional healing in the midnight hour. Spiritual refreshing. Lord, we need to go deeper into your word. Father, give us strength, Lord, when the night feels heavy. Give us power and anointing when we feel lost and we feel scared. Father, we ask you that God's presence in the dark season, Lord, peace over every hour, every moment
of our lives. But Lord, we want to make this a life application today. I want to tell the listeners that they're blessed and highly favored. I want to tell the world today that God is with them wherever they are in their lives. Before you sleep, I ask God right now that He will strengthen you. I pray that God will speak scripture over your life every second, that darkness has no authority over any soul. Oh my God, Jesus Christ is leading you right now. Should we make a public declaration? Should we tell the world right now, I rest in the care of the Good Shepherd. I fear nothing. I am not allowing fear to control my life. Peace is being restored. My soul sleeps safe in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, we come right now for a call to action. Lord, we share this midnight prayer, this hour prayer. Lord, this is a call to action. We share this midnight prayer with someone who needs rest tonight. Father, we ask you that you will sweep through our lives and you will carry us and you will strengthen us and you will anoint us wherever we are across this world. I pray, dear God, that the blood of Jesus will be over each and every one of us and we will know that our Redeemer lives. And because he lives, we can face tomorrow. And whatever our life looks like, Lord, whatever we face as human beings, Lord, pour out your spirit over each and every situation. But
Lord, we want to tell the world that the Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. May the Spirit of the living God be over your life. May you feel the power of Jesus Christ. My name is Reverend Ben Cooper. Never give up until tomorrow.
