we're in. We're in Psalm 4, verse 8. Whatever your time is, however you are measuring life, we pray that you will find the love of Jesus Christ over your life. We are praying for rest, safety, deep peace in the presence of God. Father, we thank you for that beautiful prayer of David, the Psalms of David, Psalm 4, verse 8. Father, in peace I will lie down and sleep. For you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.
Father, I pray for the listeners that are suffering with sleep issues today. I pray, dear God, that they will sleep well. Lord, that they will rest in the name of Jesus. I pray for those that have overworked themselves today. I pray for those that have overthought situations today. Lord, we pray right now from Lagos to Vancouver, from Vancouver to Seoul, from Seoul, dear God, all the way through the Balaric Islands. Father, Russia, India, China, Lord, New York, Hong Kong, Japan. Father, in the name of Jesus, right the way through the Philippines. Dear God, we pray that you will stir hearts and minds and bodies today, that we will know that Jesus Christ is our Redeemer and because He lives, we can face tomorrow. Lord, and as the world sleeps, God remains awake. God in every soul and every mind and everyone in Jesus' name. Father, we thank you that we are entrusted to
you. And tonight at this hour, as we are trying to rest, Father, we pray that you will remove all the spiritual agitations. Father, as we are trying to sleep, we pray that we will get the correct amount of sleep. Lord, as we lie down and as we find, dear God, this place of rest in Christ Jesus, will you strengthen us from the crown of our head to the sole of our feet? Lord, we believe in the power of prayer. We believe right now at the top of the hour. We believe in the midnight hour. We believe as the sun is rising. We believe, dear God, as the moon is rising in the heavens above us, the stars are in this starry host above our heads tonight. We believe in the gospel of Jesus Christ. We believe in creation. We believe in the word of God. And Lord, as we sleep right now, I pray that you will carry
everybody today. Lord, that they will find a place of rest. Lord, we declare this Bible verse over our lives. Father, we pray as millions fight sleepless nights, as millions fight, dear God, that silent ache, dear God. Father, I pray right now from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the hoover, from the hoover to the school run, from the school run to the coffee run, from the coffee run to the golf course, from the golf course to the church, from the church, dear God, to every workplace, every school, every tribe, every tongue, every color, every nation. Father, Spirit of the living God, we need supernatural rest for our lives because we are weary and we're tired. And Father, we thank you that our God doesn't sleep or slumber, that there is power in the name of Jesus. Will you take us deeper into the Word of God? Lord, when fear grips, God, I thank you that you give us peace. Lord, when we wake in the early hours, sweating and fatigue and exhausted and headaches and feeling clammy and unwell. Father, we need supernatural rest today. Lord, tonight we pray for supernatural rest, deep sleep, and pray, dear God, that our minds will take and be taken away from the pressure of thinking. Lord,
I want to tell the listeners that they're not alone. I want to tell the listeners that Jesus Christ is in their life. I want to tell the listeners tonight that peace and rest is over you. I want to tell the listeners now, peace and love through the precious blood of Jesus Christ. Come, Holy Spirit, we pray that anxiety as it raced through our mind. We pray, dear God, for insomnia. We pray for night fears. We pray for the terrors of night. We pray for the presence of God to bring calm to mind, emotional healing while sleeping. Father, we pray as we work and as we live that we will find that our batteries are being charged, that we are not exhausted, that we are refreshed, and the Spirit of the Living God is renewing our strength today. Lord, we believe sleep is an action of faith. So tonight, Lord, wherever we are, let us rest. Come, Holy Spirit. I will rest in peace. God is my safety, my shield, and my rest. Let's make this a call of action. Share this prayer tonight before we go to bed. Partner with us today and walk in the word of God. Wherever you are, you are bloodwashed, sanctified, you are a child of the living God. May God carry you in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Stay blessed until tomorrow.
