I struggle with it, I suffer with it, it has been around in my life for goodness knows how long. Even though I sit where I sit and believe what I believe, just like every one of us, we are human beings, and right now I believe in this time in which we are living, in these crazy days that we are living, God is telling us, you and me, trust me. Trust me. I believe God is saying, just trust me with your life, trust me with everything in your life. But Father, we're gonna pray right now, brothers and sisters.
Without further ado, we're jumping into the book of Philippians 4. Philippians 4, verses 6 through to 7. Do not be anxious about anything, and the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ
Jesus. Father, we thank you as we record this life here in London, England, with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper. Father, we come against anxiety now. We come against anxiety in the name of Jesus Christ. When anxiety rises across our lives, our minds, our bodies, our souls, Lord, wherever we are today, Lord, we bring it again to the cross. Lord, we bring it in prayer. And Lord, I ask you, Father, that you will bless the listeners, Father, from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. Wherever we are, from London to New York, dear God, all the way from New York to Dubai, from Dubai, dear God, all the way to Singapore. Lord, around the Americas, Spirit of the Living God, we pray for such a rise in the spirit realm. We pray today, Lord, that anxiety will be broken, that we will not worry about anything. Lord, you tell us do not be anxious, but Lord, we're worried, we're scared. Fear, dear God, we're worried about the world, we're worried about our lives, we're worried about our future, we're worried about our now, what we're in right now. Lord, we're worried about the situations, and Lord, anxiety seems to get a hold of us. And Father, I pray, Lord, that we will break out of the anxious walk. We will break out of the doubt. We will break out of the fear, and the Holy Spirit will bring us to a place of comfort. So, God, I pray as you invite every one of us, Lord, you invite us, Lord, to bring our fears, our worries, and our doubts.
And Lord, we picture the cross of Calvary right now through prayer. Lord, we picture a cross. And Father, we are trying, Lord, to hand everything to the cross. We're trying to release everything to the cross, to leave it at the hands of Jesus. And Father, you tell us to come to the cross, all of you that are weary and heavily laden, to come to Jesus Christ. And Lord, that is the way that I visualize you. Lord, I look at the cross, and when I look at the cross, I think of Christ. So, Lord, I'm handing everything to the cross of Calvary. Lord, I understand that the cross is symbolic. But Lord, what happened at the cross? I want to say thank you for salvation at the cross of Calvary. And Lord, will you remove all the worry, the doubt, the fear, Lord, the uncertainty, everything that's going on in our lives? Father, we want to walk in
freedom. We want to walk in power. And today, Lord, we pray for anxious thoughts to be settled. We're praying, dear God, for peace of mind. We're praying, dear God, for fear and panic to lift. We're praying for strength in emotional, being overwhelmed with emotional anxiety. We're praying tonight, Lord, at this night time that anxiety will go and you will bring a rest to our spirit. We're praying for clarity when everything, when our thoughts are spiraling out of control. Lord, we don't want to have our thoughts spiraling out of control. Lord, we want everything, dear God, to be at the cross. So, Lord, all those, dear God, that are looking for clarity, all those looking for spiritual health, Lord, we pray that God's presence will calm our heart today. We're praying for mental stillness. Lord, we need to renew our trust in you. Lord, help us to walk right, to live right. And we come to you right now, Lord, in the intensity of life. We ask you, Father, that you will lift the anxiousness. And Lord, as you told us, Lord, in the good book, Father, we believe in this scripture that Philippians 4, verses 6 and 7 is for our lives.
Do not be anxious about anything. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds. Father, I thank you for the listeners today. Wherever they are, let the presence of God be with them. Bring them courage and hope. Father, I pray that anxiety will go and they will feel the love of Jesus Christ. Until tomorrow, my name's Reverend Ben Cooper. God bless.
