below. Lord Jesus Christ, Lord, I come to you right now. Lord, I'm bringing this season before you, Lord, because sometimes, Lord, this December it feels quite irritating. Lord, it feels quite lonely. Lord, it can make us feel isolated, Father, and empty during this very heavy, unusual season now. Father, in the name of Jesus, we're praying for healing from loneliness. Isolation and emotional emptiness during this season. Father, we come before you. Father, I pray for being with a crowd doesn't always mean, Jesus, that I'm happy and all is well. Lord, we can be, Father, in a crowd and be lonely. Lord, we can be in a place that's happy on the outside, but Lord, we're crying within. So Lord, we come against loneliness, isolation, emotional emptiness. I can't sleep because I feel alone. Lord, I feel forgotten at Christmas. I pray for those that feel forgotten at Christmas. God, I'm struggling tonight. Lord, these areas of life. Father, we come to you and we need a savior in our lives.
Lord, we at this early hour, at this daybreak, Lord, as the sun rises, the sun sets, Lord, as the day continues, as the day begins, as the day ends, Father, in this month, this season that we're in, Lord, wherever we are, from London to Lagos, from Lagos to Chicago, from Chicago, dear God, to Detroit, from Detroit to Melbourne, all the way around the world. Spirit of the living God, as we lock shields today. Father, as we lock in for this daily prayer.uk, Father, we hold on together, Lord, on the field of life, and Father, we walk together, we stand together, we roll together, Lord, we cry together, Lord, we speak, Lord, just as it is. Lord, I pray right now that the love of God will be over every listener's heart, wherever they are across the world.
Take the worry, take the fear, take the loneliness, the isolation, the emptiness at this season. Father, remove this quiet pain that just keeps turning our heart over and over and over. Lord, we feel forgotten at this Christmas time. Lord, life is busy, life is crazy. But Lord, I need the word in my life. Lord, I gotta work, dear God, at walking completely different. I gotta work, dear God, at getting this right. Lord, I gotta move because Lord, you tell us to live by faith. And Lord, I'm gonna live by faith. And Lord, I thank you right now that you're with us. But today, Lord, we thank you for Psalm 34, verse 18. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those that are crushed in spirit. Lord, this is one of those evergreen scriptures. Lord, it keeps growing in our spirit. It keeps growing in our heart right now. And Lord, we thank you. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those that are crushed in spirit. So Lord, at this season, Lord, as we're getting ready for the December the 25th, as the UK starts to go a little bit crazy and a little bit wild, Lord, and it becomes very commercialized, we pray that we will focus on the line of Judah and we will remind ourselves that Jesus Christ is the Savior of the world. And the word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. So Lord, we anchor into Psalm 34, verse 18. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saved those that are crushed in spirit. Lord, we jump from the beautiful book, the prayers of David, Psalm 34, verse 18. We accelerate right now, God, right out through this prayer time. We carry one another in
the name of Jesus. We go to the beautiful gospel of John. Father, we lock in today and we go to John 14, verse 18. I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to you at the season in which you're in, at this season and in this December time, wherever you are around the world. I pray that loneliness will go, fear will go. For those that just want to sleep right away through Christmas, that just want to close the front door on it and just click your finger and it disappears. I pray that you will find rest and peace in the name of Jesus. Right now, Lord. I pray for healing for loneliness. I pray for comfort, Lord. I pray for peace. I pray, dear God, for emotional strength. The prayer for hope. The prayer for connection, dear God, through this season. Holy Spirit, come to our lives. We're scared. We're lonely, we're worried, and we need Jesus. Father, bless the listeners from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. Until tomorrow, stay blessed.
