Are you tired? Are you weary? You know, whatever your time is in your time zone around the world, I pray that you will not find the stress of finances too much through December. The burdens of December, I pray that the fear of not having enough, this is such an area that we're praying for a lot through this month, you know, the fear of not having enough. I thank God for your life because God is moving. Father, in the name of Jesus, Lord, as we are searching and we are looking for financial, dear God, freedom. Lord, we need peace in the area of money. Lord, we are worried. Lord, we got financial anxiety. Lord, this December,
dear God, the overspending fear, Lord, of hitting the bank really hard. Lord, we haven't got the money, Lord, but we gotta try, Lord, and be strong and good stewards. So Father, I pray as the cost of living rises, Lord, as the cost of living escalates out of control. Father, the shopping trolleys are costing a fortune. Lord God, in the name of Jesus, the food, dear God, the area of life. Father, we can't keep up, Lord. We need help. So Father, help us right now. Take away the financial burden of December. Give us freedom, Lord. I pray, Lord, that we will not, dear God, feel that there is not enough because you, dear God, are supplying. You are a way maker. So Father, we thank you that our cupboards are filled. We thank you that we got electricity, that we got gas, our homes are
warm. So today, Lord, we pray for this evening time, this early time, these moments together, wherever we are gathered around the world. Father, we pray for financial stress to go, the strain of life, Lord, from London to Lagos, from Lagos to Dublin, Manila, the Philippines, dear God, Kabul. Lord, we're praying for an outpouring of your spirit for Afghanistan. Lord, all around the world. Father, Tel Aviv, Lord, we're praying, dear God, right now for Honduras. We're praying, dear God, for Haiti. We're praying, dear God, for North and South Nigeria. We're praying for a breakthrough in these nations. And Lord, wherever we are gathering, I pray as we record this live here in London, England, Lord, that we will not allow ourselves to be worried about the season and keeping up with commercialization.
But Lord, we believe and we hold our place in Matthew chapter six. So do not worry, saying, What shall we eat? Or what shall we drink, but seek first the kingdom of righteousness. Lord, that brings peace to our heart. Lord, you are telling us, so why are we worrying, saying, What shall we eat? What shall we drink, but seek ye first the kingdom of his righteousness? Today, Lord, I pray that we will seek the Father's heart from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom, dear God, to the van, from the van to the car, from the car, dear God, to the school run, from the school run to the treadmill, to the treadmill of life, to the treadmill of the gym.
Lord, we need you right now, Lord, and we anchor into Philippians 4, 19. Lord, my God, we want to tell the world that my God, we want to tell each other that our God, we got to tell each and every one of us that our God, my God, will meet all my needs according to his riches in glory through Christ Jesus. Lord, we need you because Lord, we're at this month again, we're at this hour again, Lord, and the morning's starting to rise and we're worried about the finances. We got stress, Lord, that we shouldn't be carrying. I'm trying to leave it at the cross, but it is such a struggle. Lord, provide for the family, provide, dear God, for those that are in need right now. Lord, take dear God, give us relief from fear from not having enough. Come, Holy Spirit.
I pray, dear God, for financial breakthrough that this month we will not worry and will not have the burden of December. We will not allow commercialization to carry us. Heal us from the fear of not having enough. May the Spirit of the Lord be with you. May the love of God carry you until tomorrow. Never give up. God is with you. The Spirit of the Lord is over your life. God bless.
