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 your five-minute commuted prayer, quick fired moments of faith to carry us through the rest of the day.

further ado, we're getting straight into the word of God, and there is power in your life. And we are praying for faith under fire right now. We're praying for the persecuted church, the persecuted church, the underground believers, the secret disciples, the whispering church, prisoners of faith. Father, we pray right now for our brothers and sisters as they are under fire. Dear God, as their faith is under fire, we believe in Romans 8 28 that God works in all things. Perseverance for the persecuted church. Father, as I read the scripture from the NIV, Romans 8.28.
Now we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose. Father, we thank you across the world right now. Countless believers worship Jesus Christ in silence. Lord, their day, Lord God, as they are running, Lord, as they are scared, as they're in danger, Father, because of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Father, we ask you that Romans 8 28 remains one of the most searched scriptures for the persecuted church. Lord, as believers cry out for the truth in every situation. Father, we thank you that the world is shaking. But right now we believe in the fire of God. This is our faith under fire prayer. Father, we ask you that you'll stir hearts today. Lord, that we will become, dear God, persevering in the word of God. The world, Lord, let the world fill the
power. But Lord, we pray for our brothers and sisters in China, North Korea, Eritrea, Somalia, and all the way from Afghanistan, all the way to India. We believe the church is under pressure to stand. Oh my God, with unbreakable faith. We believe that you are turning, dear God, your eyes right now to the believers in secret. We believe, dear God, the persecuted believers, Lord, are walking in freedom. They are safe. They are blessed and highly favored. The Holy Spirit is in prison cells right now. You are in house churches right now. Lord, you are in the whispering midnight prayer with the brothers and sisters around the world. We know, Lord God, that faith is under fire. But Lord, we believe that perseverance delivers. We believe as the persecuted church, as it runs for its life, we believe that the fire of God is over them. Father, deepen the courage, strengthen the perseverance. Lord, let there be a clear focus on Jesus Christ. God is working out all things. Even when the battle feels relentless, God is moving. We pray for China, North Korea, Somalia, and India, nations where believers face oppression, imprisonment, intimidation, and loss. Lord, surround the underground church with your protection, with your love, with your mercy. Strengthen pastors, house church
leaders, and disciples meeting in secret right now. Open prisons doors. Soften the hearts of the officials and the guards, every family right now. Strengthen, dear God, the persecuted believer, wherever they are. Lord, we believe in the fire of God. We pray that you will strengthen the persecuted church and as it continues to move forward in the power of God. We pray that Bibles will reach and they will not be restricted. That the presence of God and the Holy Spirit will take Bibles into nations, into lands where angels fear to tread. We believe that prayer, the prayer for revival, to rise up, dear God, the persecuted Christian, wherever they are, gathering in secret. We thank God that he is working in areas where man is struggling. We believe that the anointing is over the persecuted church. Lord, we put pause today and we pray for our brothers and sisters that are being persecuted for their faith. We believe that Romans 8 28 and we declare this over the persecuted church. Perseverance grows. We believe perseverance growing right now because God is working out all things. The persecuted church will stand, it will rise and it will overcome through Christ
Jesus. Bless the listeners wherever they are. Let the fire of God be over the secret church and the persecuted church. Bless those that are in prison and those that are coming with their faith under fire in Jesus' name. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow.
