Father, we come to you right now, Lord. And Father, I bring myself, everybody in the studio, and I bring, dear God, everybody that is under the sound of my voice. And I pray, Lord, the prayer today is for strength in exhaustion. Father, I pray as we are exhausted, dear God, that we will find emotional rest. I ask you, dear God, for Matthew 11, 28 over our lives. You say, Come to me, all of you that are weary. Spirit of the living God, as we pray Matthew 11, 28 over our lives, as we lock shields together, as we stand on the gospel of hope. Father, we thank you there is power in the greatest name in heaven and earth, and the devil is under our feet. Lord, we come against sickness, disease, worry, and fear. But right now, Lord, Father, we pray Matthew 11, 28 over our lives. Come to me, all of you that are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Father, we need rest today. Lord, I don't know about the listeners wherever they are perched across the world, but we need rest. Lord, we need hope today. Lord, I'm weary and I'm burdened, but I'm blessed and highly favored. Lord, I want to thank you that you are calling us. There
is an invite today for you, sister. There is an invite for you today, brother. There is an invite for everyone that is listening to my voice. Jesus is telling you through the gospel of Matthew, chapter 11, verse 28, come to me, oh Spirit of the living God. We're coming, dear God, in hundreds and thousands and millions. We're coming to the King. We're coming to the cross of Calvary. Lord, I'm not frightened of telling the world, Lord, I'm on my way to Jesus. I'm not frightened of telling the world, dear God, I'm weighed down with weariness, dear God, and I'm I'm heavily laden today in the name of Jesus. But Lord, I come to you right now. Lord, you say, Come to me, all of you that are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Father, we thank you that we will only find rest in Jesus Christ. We will only find rest at the cross of Calvary. We will only find rest in the Holy Spirit. So,
Father, as exhaustion rises across the nations, as people carry emotional pressure, spiritual heaviness, physical tiredness, wherever we are, from London to Singapore, from Singapore to Lagos, from Lagos to Vancouver, from Vancouver to Dubai. Lord, I pray that millions as we search for strength, relief, dear God, and we are asking for rest when it feels overwhelming. But Lord, we believe in Matthew 11, 28. Lord, we believe that this scripture, Lord, we are not going to hit burnout. We are not going to get drained. We are not going to reach that point of no return. Father, when we are stretched beyond capacity, Lord, Jesus invites you in today. Christ is inviting you in. He is not a system. He is not a strategic way. He is the way, the truth, the life. And he is your answer. He is your blessing. He is your miracle. He is the king. He is not a strategic press. He is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. He is not a system. He is the Savior of the world. Come to Jesus wherever you are. You will not be disappointed. You will not be discouraged because the Spirit of the Lord is over you today.
And I pray for strength. I pray right now that God will strengthen you in exhaustion. I pray for emotional rest. I pray for renewal in Jesus' presence. I pray for relief from internal pressure, battles and storms that are resting in your heart today. I pray for peace over mental fatigue. I'm praying for restoration and spiritual energy, that God will restore all the years that the locus has taken. Father, we ask you right now in the close of this prayer, when we're overwhelmed, when we're pressed down, that the Holy Spirit will give us relief
in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, carry our burdens. We come to you because you have told us. We take up the invite in the greatest name in heaven and earth. I declare today that Jesus Christ is my rest. He renews my strength and every little burden he carries from little to the enormous. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow. Stay blessed.
