Come on, we're in Psalm 23. How are you today? Whatever is going on in your life, may the Spirit, may the power, may the love of God be over your life. The Lord Jesus Christ is with you. You are blessed and highly favored. We're going to pray today. We're going to pray for what? What are we praying for,
Rev? We're going to pray for peace in uncertain and we're going to pray for guidance for the future. We're going to pray for peace in uncertain days and we're going to pray for guidance for the future. Father, in the name of Jesus, we thank you for the listeners. But right now, Lord, we come before you as our Lord and our God and our King. Father, we pray for such an outpouring of your spirit over our lives. Today, we believe that the Word of God is for us. Today we believe that we're going to pray for peace in uncertain days. Lord, we're going to pray for peace in uncertain times. We're going to pray for peace, dear God, that will just rest on our heart today. And today, Lord, we pray for guidance for the future. Lord, we need guidance for our future.
And as we come to you, Lord, we believe, as the psalmist writes in Psalm 23, verses 1 through to 4, the Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures. Even though I walk through the valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Spirit of the living God, I thank you that you're with us. Come, God, we need an outpouring of your spirit. Lord, you are my shepherd and I lack nothing. Lord, you make me lie down in green pastures. Even when I walk through the darkest valley of my life, I will fear no evil for you are with me. So Lord, I need peace in the valley. I need guidance in the valley. Lord, I thank you for the prayers of David. I thank you for the Psalm 23. I thank you for the love of God. And wherever we are situated across this world, Lord, we need divine breakthrough today.
We need the Holy Spirit to lead us and to carry us. And wherever we are across this beautiful world, Lord, we pray for calm and we pray for peace, reassurance, clarity, and direction. Lord, when everything feels, Lord, Lord God, that we just can't control anything. Lord, we need you from London to Toronto, from Toronto to Manila, from Manila, dear God, to Barbados, to Brisbane. Father, in the name of Jesus, we need sharpening right now. Whatever nation, whatever town, whatever tribe, wherever we're from right now, we need the glory and the power and the love of Jesus Christ. Lord, we need you to feed us and to strengthen us. Lord, it feels like we're under serious pressure, but we believe in peace right now. We call peace down, Lord, and we thank you as we pray, Lord, for peace in uncertain times. We're praying for calm in emotional storms. Father, the emotional storms that we're going through, we believe right now that you are calming the emotional storm. And Lord, we thank you as we pray for clarity in direction. Lord, we pray for clarity in decision
making. We're praying for wet rest, sorry, when we're overwhelmed. We're praying for rest when we're tired and we're weary. We're praying for courage in dark places. We're praying for trust in God's guidance. Lord, I need to trust you more in the guidance of my life. Lord, I need to pray, Lord, and press deeper into the word. Lord, I gotta pray and I gotta get deeper into the word of God. And Lord, I ask you right now that the Spirit of the living God will come and refresh and restore and take charge of every situation in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Lord, we're blessed and highly favored, but I need Jesus. And Lord, I pray for calm and I pray for rest and I pray for peace. I pray, dear God, for the assurance that I need. Lord, I pray for the assurance that we need. Lord, wherever we are today across the world, Lord, Father, let the scripture, let Psalm 23, 1 to 4, speak directly. You are our shepherd. You've got to guide us. You need to give us peace
today. And I pray for a special blessing over the listeners that you will fill their hearts afresh with the Holy Spirit, that they will know Jesus Christ as their Lord and Savior, that they will know that they are born again. So, Father, bring peace and rest to their hearts today. May the Spirit of the Lord be over you and may the joy of the Lord be your strength. As you know, my name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow, stay blessed.
