We'll pray for whatever nation you're in, whatever tribe, whatever tongue, whatever village, whatever region, whatever you need pride for, brother and sister, send it in. We'll wrap it up with the prayer team in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Come on, we've got to get in. You know,
we're gonna pray. We're never gonna give up praying. We're gonna lock down, just like I'm using that analogy so much lately about the rugby scrum, you know, because it's pretty easy to see and we understand what that entails and what that requires. We've got to lock together, we've got to walk together, we've got to knuckle
down together. We are in Psalm 34, verse 17 through 18, and we're praying for some big stuff over these last number of months. As we've been knuckling down and we've been praying together, we're praying for mental health. Come on, we've got to pray for mental health. It is a global crisis, it's starting to scream around the world like we've never heard it before, but it is written. God loves you. It is written. Man does not live on bread alone, but by every word that perceives out of the mouth of God. Come on, wherever you are, I'm gonna speak this, I'm gonna pray this word into our lives. We're gonna lock down together and we're gonna pray together.
Psalm 34, verse 17 and 18. The righteous cry out, and the Lord heals them. Oh Jesus, he delivers them from all of their troubles. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Father, we pray for those that are crushed in spirit. Lord, that they will arise today. Lord, we believe that mental health is going at the name of Jesus Christ. We speak this, we pray this word over our lives, and the righteous cry out. And Lord, you tell us through your word that you hear our inner cry. And Lord, you are close to the brokenhearted, and you save those that are crushed in spirit. We believe right now the mental health pressure continues as it rises
across the world. And Lord, this scripture remains, Lord, so powerful, Lord, so powerful, Lord, the emotional cry, Lord, the emotional pain, the inner exhaustion, the silent distress wherever we are, from London to Stockholm, from Stockholm to Manila, from Manila, dear God to Vancouver, from Vancouver, dear God to Holland, to Europe, wherever people are today suffering with mental health. Father, we crush, we crush mental health in the name of Jesus Christ. We pray, Father, for those that are going directly right now into emotional darkness. Lord, spiritual fatigue. We declare that God's word is
drawing that out of you right now. He hears your cry, he sees your pain. You are not crushed, you are not pushed down. The Spirit of the living God is with you. And right now, Lord, as we come, this lifeline of Scripture, Lord, you are our lifeline. Lord, we are calling out to you like never before. Father, we are wounded, we are crushed, we are lost. But we declare the word of God right now in the name of Jesus Christ. We pray for any individuals that are facing depression, anxiety, trauma, burnout, internal storms, those storms that our friends can't see, the storms that the family can't see, the storms that no one else can see. But Lord, they're raging inside of our bones. Lord, they make us shake, they make us sick, they make us scared. Lord, anxiety rises when the storm, that inner tremor starts, the shakes, the wobbles, the doubts, the fears, spirit of the living God. We pray for every heart that is battling emotional overload today. We pray for every heart that is emotionally overloaded, and we pray for mental fatigue, sleepless nights.
We pray, dear God, for those that are suffering in quietness. Holy Spirit, restore the heaviness that was stolen by the devil. God, good God, come, Holy Spirit, right now, Lord. We ask you that you will fill us afresh right now, Lord, and we cannot walk in this, dear God, spiritual fatigue anymore. We got to rise in hope. Lord, we are not gonna allow this emotional battering. We are not gonna, Lord, allow this sickness. We're not gonna allow this crushing. We're not gonna allow, Lord, there is deep hope today. Lord, there is expectation today. There is faith today in your word. Come, Holy Spirit. We rise on wings today. And Father, we thank you as we speak aloud. Psalm 34, verse 17 and 18. Over our lives, God rescues, God hears, and God is near.
God bless you. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow.
