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.
Do you know what? We gotta scrum down together. We gotta scrum down, we gotta lock in. Just like that on the rugby field, we gotta lock down, we gotta scrum down, and we gotta push over the triline of life. We gotta get through. We cannot allow ourselves to be pushed back by the enemy. We cannot be pushed back. We gotta put our best boots on. We gotta put those studs of faith in our boots. We gotta put longer studs in the boots. We gotta dig down in the word of God and we're gonna push ourselves and each other because we are locked in. We are locked into the team of prayer. We are locked in to the rhythm of the family, the the prayer family. We are locked in. Put your boots on, put the long studs in, and let's drive and push the devil over that triline in the name
of Jesus. Father, we thank you for the power of prayer. And right now we push in, Lord. Father, we do our rugby boots up, Lord. We put the long studs on of faith. We put those long studs of faith on, Lord, and we dig in the dirt of life and we push like we've never pushed before. Lord, we're pushing, Lord, not in our own strength, but we're pushing in the word of God. When we lock down, we are locking in faith. When we lock down and when we crouch down and we position ourselves and we get our posture ready to push, we're pushing, dear God. We're pressing against the devil's schemes. And right now, Lord, we thank you that our battle belongs to the Lord. But Lord, we're just getting involved. Lord, we're just moving forward because you're giving us strength, Lord, to keep pushing, to keep going. And wherever we are across the world, let the fire of God, let the anointing be over
you. We are in the beautiful book of Psalms. And as we pray this through right now, God is with you. Father, I thank you that as I pray through, as we walk through, as we gently run through Psalm 4, verse 8, Father, I protection tonight. In the peace, I will lie down and sleep. For you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. Lord, in the quiet time, as we are locked down in the scrum of life. Lord, we got our boots on. We got long studs in. And Lord, we're locked down. And Father, I pray for those in peace. I will lie down and sleep. I pray for those that suffer just like myself with sleep deprivation. For those that just can't sleep, they're so exhausted, they're so tired. I pray, dear God, Psalm 4, verse 8 over their
lives. In peace, I will lay down and sleep. For you alone, Lord, make my dwelling safe. Lord, I pray, dear God, for every corner of our life. Lord, we are so tired. Lord, many are exhausted physically, emotionally, financially, relationship, fears, doubts, money, children, marriages, sisters, brothers, the season that we're in. The Spirit of the Living God in this stillness. Lord, we gotta lock down. We gotta lock into prayer. From the battlefield to the boardroom. Father, from the boardroom to the bus stop, from the bus stop, dear God, to the field of life, to the scrum of life, to the touchline of life. I pray for the sisters and brothers that are
struggling with sleep tonight. Across New York, Dubai, Manila, Stockholm, Germany, France, England, Eritrea. We pray for every nation. We pray, dear God, for every tongue. We pray for all humanity that are so tired that when they lay down, they're wide awake. And when they sleep, they're absolutely exhausted. I pray for those that pretend to be asleep. Lord, I pray for myself as I pretend to sleep. As I close my eyes, as I pretend, as we pretend, Lord, to rest, but our mind is racing. I pray, Lord God, that the night fears will go at the name of Jesus. The night tremors will go at the name of Jesus.
The night doubts will go. Lord, that that tension, that fear at night. Lord, we pray. The fear of sleeping, the fear, dear God, of tomorrow, the fear of what might be. We pray for the stillness and the love of Jesus. But right now we believe that there is breakthrough. Tonight we pray for peace. God, rescue us. Holy Spirit, bring calm to our mind, peace to our body, stillness to our thought pattern. The battlefield of life, Lord, is exhausting. And we need Jesus. We need the King in our lives. And I pray for those that are wrestling with tiredness because they're overworked, their emotions are all over the place. We're spinning more plates than we can capture. Tiredness is getting us weary, ratty, angry. Spirit of the living God, be our shepherd. Be our shepherd because we're fragile, Jesus. I pray for those that feel fragile, their hearts are tender, their minds, dear God, are worn. Come, Holy Spirit, we need restoration today. I pray for those that are trying to sleep, they will get their best sleep ever. And they will wake up in the joy of the Lord. They will wake in the joy of the Lord. They will experience the love of Jesus Christ. And I pray for protection. I pray for your love. Over the place where they rest. Wrap your arms around the listeners today, Jesus. For those that are just trying to shut their eyes in the car right now. For those that are in the lorry, for those that are in an aircraft, for those that are at their desk that are absolutely exhausted. For those parents, dear God, that have just sat down and they're weary and they're crying. I pray for the ministers, I pray for the believers, the non-believers. I pray for anyone that hears my voice today. Lord, we're tired and we need a physical breakthrough, a spiritual breakthrough, and we need help. Please, Lord, don't delay. Come now. Bless all of us in the beautiful name of Jesus Christ. My name's Reverend Van Cooper. Never give up. God is with you and we love you from the very bottom of our heart. May God strengthen you. See you tomorrow.
