Wherever you are today, the love of Jesus Christ is over your life. We're praying straight away. As I always say, as soon as you hear my voice, we are praying. Father, we're praying for comfort today in the name of Jesus. We're praying for emotional healing today in the name of Jesus. We're praying for release from trauma. Father, we're praying for grief support in the name of Jesus. We're praying for God's nearness in the darkest hours of our lives. Father, as we spin the plates of life, Father, we come to you right now and we lock down as brothers and sisters. Lord God, from all cultures, from all tribes, from all tongues around the world, we lock in today. And Father, we carry each other because Lord, we are all weighed down. Lord,
we are all heavily laden. But right now we believe in Psalm 34, verse 18. Lord, at the morning, at the hour, as we rise, we kick the duvet off and shout, Hallelujah, God. God be with me today. Let the Holy Spirit anoint us today. Lord, we're praying for comfort. We're praying for healing. We're praying for emotional strength. We're praying for God's nearness to the brokenhearted. I pray for you, if you are brokenhearted, God is bottling up your tears. The Spirit of the Lord sees your pain. He sees your breakup. He sees your teardown. He sees everything in your heart, your mind, and God is telling you, just look to me. God is saying, just look to me. Get yourself a Bible and open up the verse to Psalm 34, verse 18. This is what God is saying to you right now. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. If you have got a double whammy there, God is with you right now. If you are brokenhearted, God is with you. If you are crushed in spirit, the Lord Jesus Christ is with you. Even if you have one or the other, if you have two, the glory of God
is with you. Whoever you are, whatever you are carrying, I want to invite you into this prayer space with me to get yourself and take your hands off your suitcases. Take your hands off the luggage that you are carrying. You've been carrying too much luggage in your life. You've been carrying people, you've been carrying situations. I'm telling you now, God is saying, focus on the cross, walk up to the cross, and you leave your rucksack, you leave the baggage, you leave the garbage bags, you leave the black bin sacks, you put everything down at the cross of Calvary, and you take your hands off the suitcase of a life. And dear God, in the name of Jesus, give us the strength to let go. Lord, give us the strength to let go. Let go of the broken heart this morning. Let go of the broken heart at the hour. Whatever your time zone is, whatever God is doing in your life right now, the blessings of the Lord are new every morning. Let the suitcase of life go. Don't try and unzip it. Don't try and fix it. Don't try and ravel your way through the travel luggage that you've had that you've brought all the way through certain circumstances of life. You leave that suitcase at the cross of Calvary, and Jesus Christ is with you.
We are praying also, Isaiah 41, verse 10. Do not fear, for I am with you. I will strengthen you and help you. God is calling you. He's not calling you to church, he's not calling you to uh ministry, he's not calling you to religion, he's not calling you uh in certain areas of life, he's calling you right now, he's calling you by name, he's telling that you he loves you, he's telling you right now you belong to him, he's telling you right now through this scripture, through this prayer time, do not be afraid, do not be fearful, do not be anxious, for I am with you. The great I am is with
you. And Jesus confirms the seven I ams. I am the way, the truth, the life. I am the bread of life, I am the good shepherd, I am the door, I am the first and the last. He is the great I am. And God said to Moses, Moses said, God, who's sending me? And he said, I am that I am. I've got to tell you that the I am is sending you. The glory of God is with you. If you feel broken today, don't worry. If you feel crushed in spirit today, don't you ever worry. The Spirit of the Lord is over you. May the glory, may the power, may Jesus Christ, and He will carry you to the next station of life. But you've got to leave your luggage at the cross. You've got to learn to leave your luggage at the cross of Calvary. Don't carry it anymore. Let it go in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Until tomorrow.
