May the glory, may the love of Jesus Christ be over your life. We're gonna jump straight in. And wherever you are, we are still in December. And uh as we pray for sudden anxiety, you know, on the hour, on the early morning, wherever you are, we're just praying that the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit will keep you strong and and then just we're hoping right now that wherever you are across the world, that you don't give up, you know, emotional overload. Come
on, let's pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, we come to you wherever we are scattered right now through this month of December, Lord. Sudden December anxiety and emotional overload. Lord, will you lead us? Will you guide us, Lord? Will you let that love of glory just come down and rest on each and every one of us? But today, Lord, as the week begins, as the weekends, Father, whenever we're capturing this prayer together, Father, we lock in with shields of hope today. Lord, we light a candle of hope and we say, Lord, there is hope, but Lord, we pray for everyone that is worried, everyone that is emotionally fearful at this moment, sudden anxiety that comes in, Father, emotional overload rising through this month that is so pressurized through commercialized December. But Lord, we also recognize, Lord, that this is a great month. We recognize, Lord, that this is a month where we recognize that Jesus Christ, the Savior of the world, was born and placed and laid in a manger. Father, we come to you right now and we thank you that the word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. But at this season, we pray for such an outpouring of your spirit for everyone, dear God, that is going through worries and fears. Lord, we pray that the stresses will go at the name of Jesus. We pray, Father, that worry will be eliminated. Lord, you give us a steady, fast breathing. Lord, if anyone, dear God, is having a panic attack, a worry and doubt and fear for, dear God, we just pray that the love of God and we we rest, we rest in the psalm this
morning. We rest in Psalm 61, too. When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Father, I thank you for Psalm 61, verse 2. Lord, as we claim this as brothers and sisters in the word, as we stand on the rock of all ages, Father, we thank you for the prayers of David. And Lord, as we rest in Psalm 61, verse 2, my heart is overwhelmed. Lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Father, lead us to the rock. Lead us to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Father, we are asking you that the Spirit of the Living God will anchor us right in to Isaiah 41, verse 10. So do not fear, for I am with you. Father, we know that you're with us, but Lord, this month is really scary. Lord, the overload, the overwhelming presence of December. So today, Lord, we pray for spiritual breakthrough, that sudden anxiety will go at the name of Jesus Christ, and we will feel the love of Jesus in our
lives. And as we come, Lord, right now to the cross of Calvary, Lord, I thank you that we are born-again spirit-filled believers and the Holy Spirit is with each and every one of us. We're praying for calm, the prayer for peace, the prayer for strength, the prayer for emotional healing, the prayer for protection, the prayer for clarity, and the prayer for hope. Father, we thank you that our God is hope. But today, wherever we are across this world, we pray that the love of God and the fire of the Holy Spirit will keep us steady in the month of December. Father, lift the worries, lift the fears, and thank you that we are born again, spirit filled believers in Christ Jesus.
May the Spirit of the Lord be over you and the joy of the Lord be your strength. Until tomorrow.
