Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where faith meets the world in daily devotion and global hope. This is our five-minute commuter prayer, quick fired moments in faith, to carry us through the
rest of the day. If these prayers have blessed you, please tap and hit the button on Apple Spotify Bussprout and just leave us a little quick review.

Thank you for standing with
us. We're going to jump straight into that beautiful book of Philippians 4, verse 6. You know, this scripture is for me. This scripture is for you. Wherever you are today, I want to encourage you, don't be anxious about anything. This is an evergreen word. The word of God is evergreen. It is always alive. It is always well. Father, we pray in the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. We ask you, Lord, as we dig deep into this scripture today. Lord, as we align ourselves with Jesus Christ, as we bring ourselves in line with the Holy Spirit. Lord, you tell us do not be anxious about anything. But in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your
request to God. Lord, whatever the hour is, whatever the moment is, however our minds are feeling, Lord, we're not going to be anxious. Lord, we're going to try and we're going to walk by faith. Lord, when anxiety rises, we believe that the word of God is blessing our hearts, our minds, our bodies, our souls. We believe that the word cuts through the noise of chaos. And Lord, we ask you right now that you will help us not to be anxious about anything. Lord, we are not denying it, but Lord, we need a divine exchange today. We believe in the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. We believe in the Word of God. We believe that this word is rich today. We believe this word is alive and well. We believe that we are born-again spirit-filled believers. But Lord, we come against that word, anxiety, and we pray today, Lord, when we feel anxious about our future, Lord, we pray that peace will be our portion. Lord, we want to declare with faith when anxiety is not, dear God, going to get a hold of us. We want to shout now. Yes, Lord, we we release that anxiety. We release that fear. And we come to you right now and we ask you, Lord, will you bring us, Lord, to a place where we can be strong in the word of God? We ask you through the early hours of this prayer. We thank you for this morning prayer. We thank you that we're able to gather around the word of God before we get the day done. So Lord, help us have our devotional time. Help us, dear God, to seek ye first the kingdom of God and thy
righteousness. From London all the way to Cape Town, from Cape Town to Chicago, all the way, dear God, to Detroit, wherever we are, New York, Lord, across the Belaric Islands, Father, all the way to Tenerife, dear God, Malaga, every place. We thank you, dear God, where believers are right now. Spain and Ukraine, dear God, come right now over Cape Town. Let the glory reign. We believe in the power of the Holy Spirit. We believe, dear God, that while we sleep, dear God, you are fixing that broken heart. We believe, dear God, that the devil cannot steal that the love that we have for God. Nothing can separate us from the love of God that is found in Christ Jesus. And right now we pray that anxiety will overtake. Lord, anxiety will overtake. It's going to overtake. Lord, we believe anxiety is going to overtake, and we believe that it's going to burn itself out. So Lord, we thank you that He's going to overtake and it is going to burn itself out. Lord, but it cannot overtake the love of God. And as it tries to overtake, as it tries to lift itself, Lord, we recognize that it is trying to overtake our mind. But Lord, right away now, through this prayer time, it is not going to get any traction in our lives.
Lord, we say, let it overtake, but Lord, we're going to get a hold of it and we're going to place it at the cross. It can overtake, it can do what it likes, but Lord God, it's not going to control my life in the name of Jesus. We pray for peace of mind when we can't rest. We pray for calm in panic and fear. We ask, dear God, for emotional healing from anxiety. We trust in God's word in uncertain days. We come to you, dear God, not in worry, not in fear, but we come in faith. Lord, we turn it, we switch it around. And we want to declare right now, when my mind is steady, my soul is safe. I give God the glory. I give God my worry. He gives me peace of mind in the mighty name of Jesus Christ.
But we want to make a call to action right now. We want to tell the world that the battle of anxiety belongs to God. Wherever you are, may the Spirit of the living God be over you. May the power of Jesus Christ be in your life. And just remind yourself, give yourself a call to action. The battle belongs to the Lord. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow, keep in the word.
