Father, I thank you for every listener right now. I thank you for every heart that is standing with me. I thank you, dear God, that your love is over them. Lord, I don't know their names, I don't know what they look like, but Lord, I know that they are born again, they are spirit-filled, and God is with you. Sister and brother, as we lock in at this midnight hour, as we lock in in the early hours, Lord, I pray right now, Father, as we are in the scrum of life together, Lord, that we will grab the rugby bore with a word of God, and we will pull that word into our chest and we will walk in power.
We will walk in authority. Lord, we need night peace. We need emotional choir. Lord, we pray, Lord, that we will let go of the day. Lord, help us to let go of the day, to let go of fear, to let go of worry. Lord, that we will rest, dear God, for anxious minds right now. God, we believe that God's presence is in the midnight hour with us, in the early hours, in the midnight hours in the daybreak. You are the Lion of Judah. You are the great I am. And today is the day of breakthrough. And Lord, we thank you for peace tonight. We thank you for peace for this afternoon. Lord, whether we're on the school run, the commute run, Lord, wherever we are, Father, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom, dear God, to the to the life itself. Father, from the treadmill in the gym to the treadmill of life. Father, we believe the power of God is in our lives, and nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ
Jesus. But Lord, as we pray through, Lord, we anchor into Psalms, we anchor in to the beautiful book, the prayers of David, we anchor into Psalm 4 and 8. In peace, we will lie down and sleep. For you alone make me and make us dwell in safety. Father, we thank you that our safe place is you. And as we look for that safe place, as we anchor in the safe place, as we walk and as we live in the safe place, Lord, we stretch out to our God in peace tonight, in peace this morning, in peace right now, in the middle of the day, whatever the time zone is, the Spirit of the Lord is over each and every
one of us. And Father, we anchor in as well to that beautiful book of Psalm 23, verse 4. Even though I walk through, Lord, I want to tell the listeners of my heart that we are walking through, even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Father, I thank you that you are with us, that you are strengthening us, Lord. We're in the valley of despair, we're in the valley of trouble, Lord. We thank you, Lord, that we are dwelling in safety, though. So as we walk through the valley, Lord, we thank you that your light
is shining. Lord, we believe, as the psalmist writes, as David wrote so clearly in Psalm 119, 105, your word is a lamp unto my feet, a light for my path.
Father, as the day closes, I pray that you will open our heart. As the day begins, I pray you will open our heart. As the day continues, I pray that you will open our heart to the word of God. Father, give us a quiet, quiet day today. Lord, we want to sleep well. We want to walk well. Lord, guard our hearts. Protect us today. Let your power and your mercy resonate through our skin. Lord, we need healing from these tired places from within. We need healing, dear God, tonight. We need healing this morning. Lord, we entrust our thoughts to you, my body and my rest into your hands. I commit myself. And whatever life looks like, Lord, I'm gonna rest in the Spirit of the Lord. And I pray that the listeners will rest in the Spirit of the Lord. I thank you, dear God, as we pray for rest, peace, calm, and we pray for sleep. That the prayer for protection, the prayer for emotional healing is over our lives. Protect us, we pray. Carry the listeners wherever they are today. Let the love of God be
over you. Jesus Christ loves you. Never give up, never give in. The Spirit of the Lord is over you. Until tomorrow, stay blessed.
