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. Brother and sister, I'm praying for you wherever you are. We are still in this crazy month, commercialized December here in the West. But wherever you are around the world, we're gonna get straight into prayer.
We're gonna jump straight into Psalm 34, verse 18. We're praying for loneliness to go. Do you feel alone in your life? Are you stricken with grief? Are you under real severe pressure? The Spirit of the Lord is over you, and I pray that the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit will carry you right now in the name of Jesus. Father, we thank you that the power and the love of God is in your in our lives. And Lord, right now we pray, Father, for peace and joy. Today is the day, Lord. I believe that the Spirit of the Lord is
over us. But right now, Lord, as we carry burdens, as we carry weight, as we carry uncertainty, the grief, the empty chair at Christmas, Lord, I pray that wherever we are, I thank you for Psalms 34, verse 18. Lord, bring comfort to the lonely. Lord, I pray for those that have got grief, those that have got an empty chair at their table, those that are looking in their front room right now, where their partner, their husband, their brother, their sister, their children, where family members used to sit. We pray, Lord, for that empty space. That bedroom, Father, those slippers that don't move, that dressing gown that still hangs. Lord, that phone that doesn't ring anymore. The car that doesn't leave the drive. The grass doesn't get cut in the same way. Father, the shopping doesn't get the same way. Lord, God, the life is not the same. Father, we're praying right now for comfort and peace. Lord, bring comfort to the lonely right now. Lord, we believe. Lord, as we stand on the word of God. Father, from London to Toronto, from Toronto to Johannesburg, to Rome, dear God, to Bronaceres, to Malta, Father, right the way through Greece, Spirit of the Living God, we pray for the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit. Lord, we believe that Psalm 34 verse 18 is for each and every one of us. The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit. Lord, we hold Psalm 34, verse 18. And Lord, we wrestle life itself today. Lord, through this month, the empty chair, through life itself, Lord, those that are carrying grief, those, dear God, that are carrying trauma, those that are scared, those that are worried. Lord, we pray for comfort right now for every heart, every mind, every body, every
soul. Lord, as we gather around the word, we believe that Revelations 21, verse 4, is for me, everyone in the studio, everyone under the sound of my voice. Father, I pray that we will, dear God, find comfort in Revelations 21, verse 4. He will wipe every tear from their eyes. Lord, just because the world can't see the tears on our face, we're crying within. And Lord, there are many of us that are crying within. Lord, I pray for every one of us, Lord, that is crying from within. Lord, the empty chair at Christmas, the family breakdown at Christmas, the pain, the absence, the pain of absence, the memories and loss. Father, for every one of us that is crying within. Lord, life is unfair, Jesus. And we need you. Lord, we need your comfort. We need your nearness. Because Lord, just because we're not crying on the outside, Lord, I want to assure you that it is raining in our hearts. Lord, it is raining in the skin that we walk in. And Lord, we are getting flooded within the skin this week walking. And I pray for every brother, every sister, every heart that is with me right now. Lord, as we hold on to the beautiful scripture of Revelation 21, verse 4, He wipes every tear from their eyes. Jesus sees your tears. He knows every one of us. But I want to encourage you today.
Don't you ever give up. If you are struggling, send your email in right now. We will pray, we will read, I will capture it, we will capture it. If you leave us a contact, we will get back to you if you want us to do. Please, please, sister and brother, you are not alone. Jesus sees your tears. God is with you at this season. He's with you every day. Even when we are running out of December and we're through January and we're pressing through the other months. He is the same yesterday, today, and forevermore.
God bless you. Thank you for standing with us. Thank you for praying with us. Until tomorrow, join us on our social networks, dailyprayer.uk. God bless you.
