Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where faith meets the world in daily devotion and global hope. This is your five-minute commuter prayer, quick fired moments of faith, to gather us and to get us through the rest of the day.

Come on, we're gonna knuckle down, we're gonna scrum down wherever you are today across this world. The love of Jesus Christ
is over your life. We're gonna turn to Psalm 4 verse 8, and this prayer is for peace, for calmness, for stillness, rest, and for God's safety. Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray for peace over every listener now. I pray for calm over every listener now. I pray for stillness. I pray for rest over every listener now. And Lord, I pray for God's safety. I pray for the word of God will lead them. I thank you that there is a hedge around them. And Lord, as they're kicking the duvet off of life, Father, as they're getting up this morning, maybe they've been on a night shift and they're knuckling down into sleep. Lord, let their sleep be sweet. But Father, we pray for those that are on a school run, those that on a commute run, those are crisscrossing the world. We pray, dear God, that you will bless every human being under the sun in the name of Jesus Christ. Father, we pray for peace. We are longing for peace. We need peace right now. And Father, we pray right now at the name of Jesus. We have peace, we have calm, we have stillness, we have rest. We have God's protection, the fire of God around us. And as we pray, Psalm 4 verse 8, I will lie down in sleep and find peace. For you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. Lord, I want to say thank you for that scripture today, because that's over every listener. And I pray Psalm 4, verse 8. I will lie down and sleep in peace. For you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. Father, we thank you for the word of God. And Lord, I thank you that you, dear God, are with
each and every one of us. For those that are on the night shift, for those that are waking up, for those that are just physically and mentally exhausted, I pray that they will find rest and peace, and it runs together. And the joy of the Lord will be their strength. I pray that they will realize that they are born-again Christians, that they're not just churchgoers. I thank you for those that go to church and for those that don't go to church. I thank you, Lord, that we don't need to go to church. We need to get to the cross. We need to get to the word.
So, Father, I pray also right now, Psalm 23, verse 2. Lord, I believe Psalm 23, verse 2 is for every one of us that is listening to my voice. He leads me beside quiet waters. I ask God wherever you are, from Auckland to Chicago, from Cape Town to Manila, Vancouver, that the love of God will be with you. And as we lock shields of faith through this daily prayer, 24-hour prayer cycle, as we knuckle down, as we lock shields of faith together, I pray that wherever you are, that you will feel the love of God as the evening settles, as the sun rises, as the sun sets, you will find peace as we join in prayer with listeners across the world from every nation, every tribe, every tongue, that we find rest and stillness and reassurance in God's word.
Father, we come to you in this midnight hour, in these early hours, in the middle of the day. We bring ourselves before you. Lord, an anxiety seems to be beating loud at this moment. Lord, we got tensions, we got scared feelings, we got doubts, uncertainty, but now we believe there is breakthrough. At this hour, we are praying for peace. We are praying, dear God, for calm. We're praying for emotional release. We're praying for quietness for our spirit. We're praying for God's covering over our lives. We're praying for stillness. Lord, I pray that you will bless every listener's ear, that you will bless every listener's heart, and they will find security and hope in the word of God.
Holy Spirit, we invite you in. God of Israel, come into our lives like never before. Jesus Christ, you are the living word. Carry us today. Strengthen the listeners from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. May the Spirit of the Lord carry you today. Never give up. May the joy of the Lord be your strength. Until tomorrow.
