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 wherever you are situated. I pray that the love and the fire and the anointing of God will be over you. Come on, let's
pray. Father, in the name of Jesus. We're in a crazy month, Lord. We're in December. Lord, we are recognizing that this is the month where the world, where certain areas of the world recognizes the birth of Jesus. Lord, but right now we want to recognize the second coming of Jesus. Because Lord, I don't want to be prepared for Krimbo. Lord, I want to be prepared for the second coming of the Savior of the world. So Lord, as we are in commercialization, Lord, I pray that you will strengthen each and every one of us for the year that lies ahead. Lord, we believe that you are coming back. But right now, Lord, there is hope for the coming new year. I want to tell your sister and brother, there is hope for you. Don't worry about the 25th, the 26th. Don't worry about all that stuff that happens on New Year's Eve. You focus on the Word of God because God is calling you. There is a destination for you. There is a cross of Calvary for you. God loves you. And do not worry. Let's try and get out of December. Let's ask God, Lord, we need you to take the shackles off of commercialized December. Because Lord, we want to break out of December. We want to get into January. And Lord, we want to get in the rhythm of the Word of God. And it starts now, God. The desire, Lord, is hunger for you. Lord, we want to be renewed. We want to be strengthened. Lord, we are not worrying about the future. We're not worrying about Christmas no more. We're going to stand on the word of God because, Lord, we are looking forward to what lies ahead.
And Father, today, we welcome the Holy Spirit into our lives. And Lord, we lay in the book of Lamentations three. Lord, we lay in this beautiful scripture today. Because of the Lord's great love, we are not consumed. His compassion never fails. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness. Lord, I want to tell the listeners today. I want to tell the listeners in the stillness of this prayer. Great is thy faithfulness. I believe God has a destination for you. It's not December the 25th. It's not January the 1st. It's the rest of your life. Every day. Forget the westernized calendar and just tell Jesus that you love him. Father, we thank you that your your compassions, your love never fails. Lord, you are not failing us right now, but we are praying for the year ahead. Lord, we are not waiting, dear God, for the strike of Big Ben here in the UK. Lord, we're not going to commit ourselves to all that Razmatazz of the world. Lord, we're going to give ourselves to Jesus. And Lord, my time starts now. I want you to take my life. I want you to mould our lives, Lord, and get us ready for the second coming of Jesus. Lord, we don't want to be locking arms on New Year's Eve, dear God. We don't want to be singing old Lang Zion. We want to be praising our God and praising the King. We want to be lifting up the name of Jesus. Lord, I pray and I believe that you make a way in the wilderness. And Lord, not only do we hold to Lamentations 3, 22, because of the Lord's great love,
we are not consumed. His compassions never fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness, Lord. Not only do we hold that scripture, but Lord, we we ramp it up now. And Lord, we hold on to the beautiful book of Isaiah 43, verse 19. See, I am doing a new thing. I am making a way in the wilderness. I want to tell you right now through prayer. Our lives look like deserts. We think there is spiritual famine in our lives. We think that we are far from Jesus. But I'm telling you now, you are closer to the King of glory than you've ever been. God loves you. His mercies are new every morning. Yes, we're waking up in fear. Yes, we are scared. Yes, we are worried. But that is just the human being of us. God loves you. God will not fail you. Do not worry about the year that lies ahead. Come on, Father, in the name of Jesus. We believe in new beginnings. We believe, Father God, as the new year approaches, Lord, we are not going to worry about the 1st of January. We're not going to get stressed about what's happening, what's going on. We believe that this year coming from now on, Lord, from this millisecond on, this is our day. Today is a new day. Your blessings are new every morning. Great is thy faithfulness. But Lord, we pray right now for hope. The prayer for renewal. The prayer for guidance. The prayer for courage. The prayer for peace. The prayer for new beginnings. Lord, we want new beginnings. Lord, we want to be saturated in the love of Jesus. We want to feel the power of the God that we serve. You are the line of Judah. Lord, wherever we are today, from the battlefield to the boardroom. Father, whatever we are doing, the Spirit of the Lord is over you. I've got to tell you right now, I'm prophesying over your life. I don't know
your name. I don't know where you are, but I'm telling you now, there are new beginnings in your life. You are healed. You are blessed and highly favored. You are wonderfully and fearfully made. The Spirit of the Lord is over your life. Don't you ever, ever give up. Don't worry about the month. Don't look at the wages. Don't look at the bills. Look up to heaven. Look up to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Because there's a new day about to spring forth in your life. There's a new day about to break out. God has a plan for you. Hold on. Never give up until tomorrow. The joy of the Lord is our strength.
