Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes of faith, hope, and strength. Come on, we're straight into prayer.
Father, in the name of Jesus, Lord, I pray for the listener right now. I pray, dear God, for the prayer warriors. I pray for those that are crying, those that are scared, those that are worried, those that are doubtful, those that are uncertain about the days that lie ahead. And Lord, we pray right now over their lives. And today, we thank you that there is strength for this winter fatigue.
We pray for strength for those, dear God, that are longing to break up for Christmas Day, those that are finding it difficult to get over the touchline of work of life, those, dear God, that are balancing the children, the family, life, money. Lord, we pray for this winter fatigue to go. We're praying for strength in the name of Jesus. Lord, that through this month, the month of December, Father, that exhaust us, Father, we're asking you that we won't experience emotional burnout, winter heaviness, the seasonal low mood. Lord, we don't like this feeling, this loness that gets hold of us. We're praying that the Spirit of the Living God will lift us.
And right now, we lock into Matthew 11, 28. Lord, we're asking for strength for winter fatigue. Lord, a global cry out for renewal, energy, and rest for the weary. Lord, we love you. Lord, you are the Lion of Judah. You are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. You are the great I am. You are the Lion of Judah. And we love you and we worship you, Lord, and we lift up the name of Jesus.
But Lord, in this season, Lord, in this season of December, this commercialized month, Father, we pray against spiritual fatigue. We pray that you will give rest to the weary. And Lord, we hold on to Matthew 11, 28. Come to me, all of you who are weary and heavily laden and burdened, and I will give you rest. Lord, we're coming to you. But Lord, in the chaos of life, it's difficult to see you, Jesus. Lord, I've got to be honest. I know you are the Lion of Judah, the great I am. You are worthy of all praise. You are El Shaddai, Jehovah Jairah, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom. I know you are the Lord of peace. But Lord, it is busy, it is chaotic down on this planet. Lord, we need you to give us stability because Lord, this month in which we are in commercialized December, Father, we have winter fatigue. This earth suit is feeling tired. These bones are rattling, our backs are writing, our mind is awashed with stress and pressure.
And Lord, we feel weary. But Lord, we're going to rise today on wings as of eagles. Lord, we're going to hold it in that place of faith. And Lord, wherever we are, Lord, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom, dear God, to the school run, to the coffee run, to the food run. Lord, as we're shopping, dear God, as we're doing life and as we've got to pick the kids up, drop the kids off. Lord, sort this out, sort that out. Father, we pray also for those that are looking after loved ones in this season. We pray for those that have got to be the carer, the caregiver. Those are absolutely exhausted. Those parents, Lord God, are looking after people in their lives. Lord, we pray, dear God, for peace for those that just feel exhausted in this season. And not only are they looking after someone at palliative care, not only are they looking after their loved ones and their friends, Lord, they gotta contend with this month. Holy Spirit, we need supernatural, divine intervention. And we come to
Jesus. And Lord, not only do we come to Jesus in Matthew 11, 28, but Lord, we've got to hold on to the book of Isaiah 40, verse 29. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Sister and brother, I pray over your life now. If you are looking after a loved one or a friend, if you are caring for someone, you're doing their shopping and you're looking after them as well as your own life. I pray that God will give you peace. I pray not only will God give you peace, that he will give you strength, you will find supernatural favor over your life because God is with you. I pray as you go through this season that you will breathe and your lungs will expand and you will feel the love of God. I pray that God will replace heaviness with hope and the love of God. I pray, dear God, for everyone that is listening to my voice. I ask you, God, that you'll strengthen them. Lord, the prayer for renewal, the prayer for energy, the prayer for rest, the prayer for emotional strength, the prayer for clarity, and the prayer for calm. Lord, we need hope today in this society. Bless every one of us in the name of Jesus, wherever we are gathering. May the Spirit of the Lord be
over you today. Follow us on our social networks, dailyprayer.uk. Until tomorrow.
