your prayers in. We are in December and we're praying very, very clearly about healing. We're praying for loneliness. We're praying for isolation, the quiet fears of December nights as the sun draws in really early. Father, in the name of Jesus, this month, Lord, is a stressful month. Lord, this month, Father, is a stretch. Father, this month is so commercialized here in the UK, Lord, and in the West. Father, I pray that we will break out, dear God, of this commercialization, that we will break out of this box, Father God. And Lord, we pray, dear God, for healing, for loneliness. We pray for isolation, the quiet fears of December nights. We pray for serious breakthrough. We come to you right now, Lord, in the early door of the day, as the sun rises, as the sun sets, Lord God, in the middle of the day, in the intensity, Father, as we are breaking right into December. Lord, we gotta help. Oh my God, we need help, Lord. Do we need help right now, Jesus? So, Father, we pray wherever we are, from London to Melbourne, from Melbourne to Johannesburg, from Johannesburg all the way, dear God, to Chicago, Chicago to Dubai, Vancouver, dear God, move through America right now. Lord, all the way through Chile and Brazil, Afghanistan.
But right now, Lord, we anchor down into Psalm 23, verse 4. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Lord, in this month, Lord, we pray that we will recognize that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. And Lord, that we will experience the love of God. And I pray for those that feel really isolated right now. I pray, dear God, for isolation and these quiet fears that bubble inside of our innermost being. I pray for those quiet fears that start to roar, Lord God. I pray for those quiet fears that start to rumble and get louder and louder, dear God, in the midnight hour, in the early hours of the morning when we wake up in fear and sweat. Father, I pray for these December nights that the love of God will break through. I pray for healingness, Lord, wherever we are scattered, but Lord, we hold in to the word of God. And we believe Psalm 23, verse 4, even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Lord, I want to lay in this word. Lord, we want to walk in this word. Lord, in the early hours, Lord, as we're searching the platforms, Lord, we are asking, dear God, we need comfort from loneliness.
Fear and emotional heaviness is strong right now. But Lord, we seek the Father's heart. Lord, wherever we are, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the school run, from the school run, dear God, to the gym, from the gym, dear God, to the vehicle, from the vehicle to home, wherever we are, Lord, in these quiet hours, in these moments, Lord God, in these moments of isolation. Lord, we might be at work and we're surrounded. Lord, we might be in a big, large family, but we are still surrounded with people. But Lord, we feel lonely. Lord, we feel lonely. Lord, that lonely feeling, Lord, we need your presence in our lives. Come, Holy Spirit, Lord, wherever we are gathering right now for prayer. We believe in the power of the word of
God. And Lord, we anchor into the book of Deuteronomy 31, verse 8. The Lord Himself goes before you and will be with you. I want to tell you now, you're not lonely. But right now, through these quiet hours, through these lonely moments, I bring every one of you before the Lord. And I pray that the Spirit of the Living God has and will break the chains of loneliness, the chains, there God, of isolation, the chains, dear God, of heavy thoughts and heavy hearts. Lord, I pray right now for every heart with me, Lord, that you will move in their lives. Lord, give them stability. Let the love of God permeate through their being.
But we pray for comfort, we pray for peace. The prayer for healing, the prayer for restoration, the prayer for your presence. We're praying for hope. We're praying, dear God, for emotional strength through this commercialized month of December. Come, Lord, bless us, we pray in Jesus' name. Amen. Until tomorrow.
