We're in the Word of God today and we're in Jeremiah 29, verse 11. This is the midnight day. This is the midnight hour. This is the midnight moment when we gather around the world as we pray for daily devotion, as we pray wherever we are that the glory and the power of the living God will touch your life. Let's make this a life application today. Let's make this real today.
Father, we ask you. We invite the Holy Spirit into our lives. Father, Son, Holy Spirit, will you bless us today, wherever we are situated across this world, dear God, in the name of Jesus, from Helsinki all the way to France, from France, dear God, all the way to the Alps, to Switzerland, to Norway. Father, we thank you for Belgium. We thank you for Germany. We thank you that the love of God is right the way around Europe, right the way around Asia. We pray for Asia today. We pray, dear God, for the area, dear God, of the persecuted church. We think of Iran at this moment in time, Hong Kong, Japan, and so many nations around the world. Father, let your fire fall today. But Lord, we declare Jeremiah 29, verse 11, over our lives. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper you and not to harm you, but to give you a hope and a future. Father, we thank you for your plans over our lives. And this daily devotional prayer time together as we lock shields of faith,
as we stand on the word of God, as we believe in the power of prayer. We believe in prayer and we commit ourselves, dear God, to this mission. Lord, we believe that you are calling us to prayer. We believe that we are locking shields with the body of Christ today. We believe, dear God, the warriors are praying for the persecuted church, the underground church. Lord, the above-ground church, the religious church, church in general. We pray for the church today that every church will fulfill the power of the Holy Spirit. But Lord, we ask you, dear God, for us as human beings, that you really will strengthen us today. We thank you, Father, that your plans, dear God, are not based on struggles. They're placed on a covenant promise, Lord God, from yourself to the believer. And Lord God, we need right now answer to prayer. We need to see breakthrough in uncertain days about tomorrow. Father, we feel pressured in the world in which we live. Lord, and we get in questions about our calling and the purpose. Lord, what is the purpose of our life? You tell us that you know that there is a plan over our lives, declares the Lord. Plans to prosper. Lord, we are prospering. And Father, there is no harm in our lives. There is only blessing and freedom in the anointing of God. And Father, we pray when we feel that life is off course. We believe that God is still on schedule with his plans. Lord, we ask you right now, Lord, to tell us, Father, what the blueprint
is for our lives. Lord, when it looks like life is about to pause, we believe that God's covenant and grace is about to accelerate us into a beautiful place. We believe that hope for our future is moving forward. We trust in God's timing when we can't see the actual plans on the boardroom table. So wherever we are, from the bus stop, dear God, to the school gate, from the schoolgate to the van, from the van to the motorcycle, from the motorcycle to the cycle, from the treadmill of life to the treadmill of the gym, from hoovering up, from cleaning, making the beds, doing the chores, Lord, running errands, running the school, kids here, there, and everywhere. We believe that the fire of God is over our lives. And Lord, there is a plan for us. There is a plan for everyone today. And Lord, we make this a life application. Lord, we thank you that hope is not a feeling, it is a decision and it is a rhythm of God. And we believe that we are in the rhythm of God, and God's plan is good for our life. My future is secure. Hope rises, fear breaks. I walk in the purpose that you have prepared.
And Father, we ask for a call to action today. A clear call to action. Share this midnight, this hour prayer. Ah, God, in the name of Jesus. Share this today, Lord, with whoever is before you right now in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Share this across the world. This is the listener-supported funded ministry of dailyprayer.uk. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Yes, I was about to sneeze, I was about to cough, but we whip that one out of the bag. But wherever you are, please hit us up on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and thank you for joining us. This is real. We are not AI, we are human beings, but we are bloodwashed, sanctified. You get all the knocks, the pops, and all the whistles and all the sneezes in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Until tomorrow.
