Do you realize the Spirit of the Living God is with you? Are you worrying right now? God is preparing your heart. I've got to tell you that it is normal for us to worry, for us to be scared, for us to be doubtful. You know, we are human beings and God is in our lives, and I pray that wherever you are, that you will feel the love of Jesus in your life. And I pray that you will just walk to Jesus Christ and you will get to the cross. And I can hear what you're saying in this prayer time. But how do I get
to Jesus? You read the word of God and open up the word of God with me now. And let's open up the word, maybe on your phone or a paperback version. I would encourage you to get yourself the book form, you know, because the digital uh word it will distract us because we got emails, we got text, we got lifestyle coming through it. But brother and sister, get yourself a paperback version. If you need a Bible, we will get you a Bible.
We are turning to the book of Matthew 6, verse 34, and we're praying against worry today. Father, in the name of Jesus, as I bring this scripture to each and every ear and each and every heart, I pray right now that the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit will sweep through our hearts. And Lord, I come to you. And I thank you, dear God, for Matthew 6, verse 34. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow. For tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Father, as we record this life here in London, England, Father, we thank you for the power of the Word of God. And we ask you, Lord, that you will strengthen us and you will carry us. Lord, when worry arises, Lord, we pray at this sharp hour of night or the early hours of the morning, wherever we are gathering, Father, we pray for the glory, the power, the love of Jesus. Lord, that we will walk, Father, in the scripture, that we will not walk in worry. Lord, that we will not worry about tomorrow. Father, I can't help but I keep worrying about tomorrow. I keep worrying about the hour in front of me. I keep worrying about the evening in front of me. I keep worrying about my yesterday, my today, and for whatever lies ahead of me. Lord, I pray today that I won't keep worrying about tomorrow. Because Lord, you tell me for tomorrow worries about itself. Give me enough, dear God. Give me enough courage. Give me enough strength just to focus on the minute, the second, the hour that is in front of my life. Because Lord, we don't know even now if we're going to make tomorrow. Lord, I pray, Lord, for the listeners across the world. I pray for their hearts, their minds, their bodies, their souls. I pray, dear God, as worry starts to rise, the word of God will gently crush it in the name of Jesus Christ. Therefore, the Bible says, therefore, do not worry about tomorrow. For tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own. Lord, yes, I feel that there's enough trouble in my life of its own. I feel that there's enough trouble just around me for the hour of the day. So Lord, I'm praying for breakthrough. Lord, when worry uh sharpens itself, Lord, I pray that we will not feel that sharp point of worry. But Lord, that we will feel the gentle arms of
God. I pray, Father, wherever we are, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the bus stop, from the bus stop to the treadmill in the gym, from the treadmill in the gym to the treadmill of life, dear God, to the field of life. Lord, wherever we are from the storms of life, dear God, from the corruption of life, from the doubt of life, all the way through the fear of life, across the boardroom table. Father, we pray for strength in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. From London to Los Angeles, from Los Angeles, dear God, all the way to Eritrea, from Eritrea to Kuala Lumpa, from Kuala Lumpa to St. Paulo, Spirit of the Living God, will you move across the Middle East? Will you move, dear God, in London? Lord, will you move in our towns and our villages? Move on us, Lord. Father, help my mind. My mind, Lord, needs, Lord, to be renewed. Lord, my mind needs to be restored. Father, we need the glory and the power. And I pray for the listeners today. As the Bible says in Matthew 6, verse 34, therefore, do not worry about tomorrow. Lord, help me not to worry about tomorrow. But Lord, I keep worrying about today. And Lord, will you remove that? Lord, will you bring fresh anointing and hope to our lives? Lord, will you stir our spirit? Lord, and as we pray right now, Lord, I pray that worry will release its grip over us. I pray for rest, dear God, over the mind tonight.
Lord, I pray, dear God, for peace in uncertainty. I pray for strength when we're overwhelmed. I pray for God's love to bring calmness and settle anxious thoughts. I pray for clarity in confusion and in the unclear day. But Lord, bless the listeners wherever they are today. Lord, let them walk in the glory and the power of the word of God. And Father, help us not to look at tomorrow, to think about tomorrow, and not allow worry to carry us anymore. Lord, let the joy of the Lord be our strength today. Let us find joy in the word of God. Come, Holy Spirit, bless us, we pray. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow.
