And for everybody that's got social media, we have just fired up over the last few weeks. We have dailyprayer.uk on Facebook. If you want to follow us on Facebook, we got some live services, prayer services that are coming on there. We're just pushing some stuff out there, but have a peruse around that.uk on Facebook. And also you will find us on X. Uh you will find us there exactly the same, dailyprayer.uk. You will find us on X, formerly known
as Twitter. May the Spirit of the Lord be with you. Father, we pray today for every household. We pray for household tension. We pray for emotional pressure. We're praying for a relationship strain through this month from children to husbands and wives, brothers and sisters and families. Lord, we're praying that the Spirit of the Lord will move over every business, over every area of life. We are praying that the love of God will be so strong and the anointing of God will be over us, Lord. Father, I pray for every heart that is worrying. Lord, this month which is overloaded, Lord, not only in the UK have we got the dark days, but Lord, we got the heaviness of commercialization through December. So Lord, I pray for every heart that is with me right now, that the love of Jesus
will be with them. And Lord, as we lock into Romans 12, 18, the early morning prayer, the late night prayer, the middle of the day prayer, that the moment, Lord, that the quick-fired, spontaneous way that we listen to these podcasts, these prayers as we gather together. Lord, as we lock down together, as we lock in together, brothers and sisters that are going through December, brothers and sisters that are going through stress and worry, brothers and sisters that have got social anxiety. We pray for those that are worried about meeting family and going out and having to socialize. Lord, we are praying for peace of mind. We're praying for hope. We're praying for the power of God. We're looking for our God and our King. Lord, bring peace to our hearts today. Lord, let there be healing and calm within every home during this December pressurized
month. And Lord, wherever we are, from London to Auckland, from Auckland to Dublin, from Dublin to France, from France, dear God to Australia, from Australia to Canada, Lord, all the way to Canada, Father, all the way around the European nations, Spirit of the Living God, we ask, Lord, if it is possible, if it is possible, Lord, according to the word. And we hold into Romans 12, verse 18. If it is possible, as far as it depends on you, live at peace with everyone. Lord, give us calm. Lord, give us calm and give us rest now at the name of Jesus. And as Lord, we focus on you. Lord, as we look across the world, as we see things breaking out everywhere, Lord, will you carry us today? Lord, we need your love. We need your mercy. We need your saving grace. And Lord, we stand on the rock of all ages.
And Father, as we lock in, Lord, from the boardroom, dear God, to the battlefield, from the battlefield to the school run. From the school run, dear God, to the coffee run. From the coffee run to the field of life, from the field of life to the treadmill, to the treadmill in the gym to the treadmill of life. Father, we cannot keep this pace up. Lord, we don't want, dear God, fatigue. We don't want this tiredness. We don't want this brokenness. So Lord, we're breaking out today in the name of Jesus. We're rising
in the word. And Lord, we hold, we hold Colossians 3, 13 close to our heart today. Bear with each other and forgive one another. Lord, help me to forgive one another. Help me, dear God, to be a forgiving believer. But Lord, I thank you for your word. I love you, dear God, and I worship you. And as we walk together today, Lord, bring peace as we lock in on the rugby
filled of life. Lord, we scrum down and we lock in prayer together. May the Spirit of the Lord be over you wherever you are today. Jesus is with you. Never give up. God bless you until tomorrow.
