The Spirit of the Lord is over each and every one of us. But now, right now, at this moment, we're going to go to the book of Psalms 121, Psalms 121, verses 1 through to 2. We are praying at the midday. We're praying at the midnight hour. We're praying at the early hours. Whenever you're capturing this podcast, this daily devotional prayer time, we want to invite you in. We are inviting you in. We are in prayer right now. Come on, will you walk with me? Will you stand with me? Come on, let's be focused. Let's ask God for strength. We're praying for strength, renewal, focus. We're praying that pressure will go and God will help. Father, in the name of Jesus, we believe in the word of God. And Lord, as we pray through this scripture, as we pray through these two scriptures, Lord, as we pray through Psalm 121, verses 1 through to 2, I lift my eyes to the mountains. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord. Father, we believe as we lift our eyes to the mountain, the prayers and the psalms of David, the prayers of David, we believe that there is breakthrough through this psalm. We believe right now that we are focused on our God. We are focused on our King. And right now, Lord, we also pray through Psalm 46, verse 1. God
is our refuge and strength. Lord, will you be our refuge and strength? Lord, we declare the word over our lives today. Father, at midday, at the midnight hour, at the early hours of the morning, as we kick off the duvet off our bed. Lord, as we're struggling to get out of the house, as we're on the commute run, as we're on the school run, Father God, from the battlefield to the boardroom. Lord, in every scenario of life, Father, we are finding life such a challenge at this moment. But Lord, we believe, Lord, at the midnight hour, at the early hours, in the middle of the day, Lord, as the sun rises, as the sun sets, we believe that this pressure, dear God, is lifting. Lord, we pray that minds won't become weary. Lord, we pray that our focus won't fade. We pray, dear God, as the day begins, as the day ends. Father, we pray that you will declutter our mind, our spirit, and our heart. Father, we believe that Psalm 121 is so powerful over our lives right now. Every passage, every verse, every word is from the heart of God. And we are seeking your presence. We're looking for strength. We're looking for God's help. We're looking for clarity. Lord, this prayer joins each and every one of us. Lord, this prayer links each and every one of us together through divine faith, through divine hope. And right now, Father, we bring to you at the midnight hour, at the early hour, Father, we need strength in every listener's heart right now. Those that are struggling, those that are stretched beyond human understanding, those that feel really heavy, bring clarity and direction to their life right now. Lift the heavy weight of life, lift the pressure. Lord, we pray, Lord, that emotions will settle down, whatever their time zone is, that they will feel the love of
God. Lord, remind each and every listener and ourselves in this studio today that God is our help, that you are our strength, that you are our refuge. You are our support. And right now, Lord, Father, bring fresh energy. Lord, give us fresh vision, give us fresh hope. Lord, Spirit of the living God, cover each and every one of us with the peace and the guidance and the direction from the Holy Spirit. Lord, we claim the blood of Jesus over our lives. And today we are praying for strength at this midnight hour, at the early doors of day. Lord, we're praying for clarity. We're praying, dear God, for renewed energy. We're praying for pressure to be lifted in the name of Jesus. We're also praying for focus and for God's help. Help us, God. We need you in our lives. We're praying for peace today. We really need peace. And Father, we thank you, Lord, as as life gets heavy, we speak. And Lord, not only do we speak, we pray. We pray Psalm 121 over our lives. Lord, we believe Psalm 46, verse 1, in the midnight hour, in the early doors of the day, at the beginning of every scenario, the Spirit of the Lord is over each and every one of us. Come, Holy Spirit, help us today. Renew our strength today, wherever we are. Father, we thank you for your love, your mercy, your saving grace. Bless us through this prayer, devotional time together. Strengthen us through this prayer time in Jesus' precious name. May the joy of the Lord be your strength. Until tomorrow.
