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. Sisters and brothers, wherever you are, I'm praying for you right now. We're straight into prayer. We hope you're okay wherever you are around
the world. You know, if you need your prayers prayed for, please hit us up in the email account, info at dailyprayer.uk. Come on, we're going to get straight into
prayer. Father, wherever we are today, Father, the heaviness of life is on us. Lord, we are waiting for the second coming of Jesus. But Lord, as we watch the news channels, Father, as we pray together, as we listen to news, as we see news, as we hear news, Lord, I pray, Lord, that we will not allow the stress and the anxiety of the news channels to hold us down. But we will rise in the name of Jesus. And today we bring these nations before the cross of Calvary. But before we pray for these nations, I pray for my brothers and sisters. Lord, I thank you for their lives right now, wherever they are scattered across this world. I ask you, Jesus, that you will touch them, that you will bring them back, Lord, to the cross in such a way. Lord, keep them at the cross, hold them at the cross. Lord, let them know that they are okay. Lord, and hold me at the cross. Lord, I pray for each one of us today as we pray for these nations. Lord, I pray wherever we are as human beings, Lord, whether we're on the battlefield or whether we're in the boardroom, on the school run, on the commute, wherever we are today, I pray, Father, standing at the bus stop on the school run, whatever we are doing, I thank you for my brothers and sisters that stay with me through these prayers. And Lord God bless their lives from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. But right now, Lord, we bring.
Sisters and brothers, there is crisis breaking out around the world, and we've got these four nations that we're praying for. We have prayed for these before, but they're rising across the news channels. Father, we pray for the Ukraine. We pray for Haiti, Myanmar, and South Sudan. Lord, we stand in the gap. We bridge this gap, Lord, and we believe in the power of prayer. We believe in the love of God. And right now, Lord, we pray for strength. We pray for anointing. Lord, as we record this live here in London, England, we pray for the Ukraine. We pray for Haiti, Myanmar, South Sudan. The same prayer for every nation around the world. But Lord, as we bring these four before you, Lord, we believe, dear God, that global nations, Lord, we are finding, we are hitting crises
around the world. We pray, dear God, for global peace, global healing, global peace. Lord, we need stability. We need protection. We need God's intervention across Ukraine, Haiti, Myanmar, South Sudan. We need peace. We need love. Father, we need the glory of God. And where we are right now, from London to Kiev, from Kiev all the way, dear God, to Dubai, from Dubai all the way to Chicago, from Chicago all the way to Detroit. Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray for Taiwan, Hong Kong, China. Lord, Beijing. We pray, dear God, for the Middle East. Lord, we are asking for global peace. Father, in these dark days, in these dark moments, Lord, not only are we in December, Lord, but we are watching battles and conflicts around the world. And we pray, dear God, for global peace
today. Lord, we believe that Psalm 46, verse 1 is for us. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. So today, Lord, every nation, every tribe, every tongue, we pray that the Psalms of David, Psalm 46, verse 1, God is our refuge and strength. A very present help in trouble. Lord, not only do we lay and we hold and we scrum down in Psalm 46, but Lord also we do the same for the beautiful book of Isaiah 60, verse 2. Father, see, darkness covers the earth and thick darkness over the people. But the Lord rises upon you. Father, we are feeling this darkness from the book of Isaiah 60, verse 2. Father, we know that darkness covers the earth, and the thick darkness is over the people. So Father, this spiritual atmosphere that we are feeling, we need it lifted.
So Father, we pray right now for Myanmar, South Sudan, Haiti, Ukraine, and the whole world. That Lord, the light of God will break through. Come, Holy Spirit, bring peace today. We pray, wherever we are in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. May the Spirit of the Lord be over you. Join us on our social media at dailyprayer.uk. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow. God bless.
