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 carry us through the rest of the day. If these prayers are blessing you, please tap the follow-in button on Apple, Spotify, Buzz Sprout, and leave us just a quick short review.
Oh, brother and sister, you know, we're living in times of tragic situations. We're living in times when situations, there's trauma happening everywhere. When you look around the world, we really are being prepared for the second coming of Jesus. Are you going through grief? Are you going through deep emotional wounds? Are you going through trauma? Are you worried about the month of December that we're in? You know, I pray that God will give you stability through this Christmas time. But we're going to pray right now for emotional pain as it rises. We're praying for trauma and let's resurfacing. We're praying for grief becoming heavy. We're praying for loneliness, dear God, that it will decrease. Memories returning. I don't know about you, but memories returning of those days gone by, the trauma being released, trauma resurfacing, certain times of the year, certain things happening. We've got to pray that God will heal my heart tonight.
Do you need healing? Come on, lay your hand on your chest wherever you are. If you're safe, if you're driving, whatever you are doing, I pray. Come on, if you can, you know, if you can, take this moment, these quick five moments, lay the hand that you have now on your chest or on top of your head, wherever you are. Come on, we're gonna pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, we're carrying deep trauma, and it's got to go at the name of Jesus. Father, this deep trauma has to go. Lord, these wounds of abuse, these wounds, dear God, of situations that keep arising, these situations that keep coming back, and the drum is getting louder, Father. The drumbeat is getting louder and louder and louder and louder. Lord, help tonight. Father, we're praying for healing from trauma, emotional wounds, loss, shock. Father, I pray for everyone that has gone through shock right now. Lord, something that has happened in their lives and they are shocked to the core. It is making them shake, they are scared, they are worried, they are in deep pain, dear God. I pray for those that are in deep pain, dear God, and those that are experiencing brokenness at this moment in time.
Father, wherever we are gathered across this beautiful world, from London to Vancouver, from Vancouver, Vancouver to Cape Town, from Cape Town, dear God, to New York. Father, we pray for California. We pray for France, India, Father. We pray for India tonight. Lord, Brazil, we bring Brazil before your throne. Lord, we thank you, dear God, what you are doing in the Ukraine tonight. Lord, we believe in revival. We believe that your hand is over all nations, Father, and we pray for Israel. Lord, at this season that we're in, Father, in this December, we pray for Israel now. Father, we pray for the surrounding area, dear God, of the Middle East. But right now, we believe that the psalmist is so beautiful. We believe the prayers of David, dear God, are bouncing in our heart. We believe that Psalm 147 verse 3
is for us. He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. God is binding up your wounds, he's healing the brokenhearted. Do you know what? I feel brokenhearted. I feel very lost, to be honest with you. I need Jesus in my life. I'm telling your sisters and brothers, wherever you are, just be open and be authentic to the world around you. Don't allow anything to hold you down. Come on, let's live for Jesus. Let's press. Father, in the name of Jesus, Lord, we need emotional healing. We need relief from grief and recovery from trauma. Lord, the trauma, dear God, is so traumatic we can't think right, we can't walk right. Lord, we're trying to find peace in certain things in life and we can't find it. We need Jesus. I pray for every one of us, Lord, as we seek the Father's heart, wherever we are across the world, as we pray for Psalm 34,
verse 18. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. I believe God is with you wherever you are right now. Don't give up. Don't give up. The miracle is at the door. The lion of Judah is with you. The great I am is with you. The God above all gods, the God that said, Let there be light. He is with you, the Lion of Judah. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted. Hold on to that scripture. Psalm 34, verse 18. The Spirit of the Lord is over you. Never give up until tomorrow.
