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, brother and sister, we are living in very unusual times. We are obviously still in December.
We are waiting for the second coming of Jesus Christ, and whatever your life looks like, we pray right now that the love of Jesus will be over you. What does your life look like? Do you need peace right now? We need this book of Colossians 3, verse 15 over our hearts in the name of Jesus. This is what the Bible says to you right now, wherever you are around
the world. Let the peace of Christ rule in your heart. Father, we pray for family tension to go. We pray for emotional strain to go. We pray for the Christmas pressure to go right now. And Lord, as we gather here live in London, England, from London to Sydney, from Sydney to Chicago, Belfast, Vancouver, Lord, all the way through Buenos Aires, Lord, all around the Americas, all around the islands, every nation, every tribe, every tongue, Spirit of the Living God, we believe that Colossians 3 verse 15 is for each and every one of us. Let the peace of Christ rule in your
hearts. Lord, not only do we lock into the book of Colossians 3, 15, Lord, we hold to the beautiful book of Romans 12, 18. If it is possible, live at peace with everyone. Lord, this is difficult. Lord, as the season is strong, Lord, as the mind is weak, Lord, help us not to get angry and frustrated. But Lord, I pray for emotional strain
and Christmas pressure to go. We pray, dear God, for family tension at this season. We are asking for peace right now, the love of God to move through every heart, every mind, everybody, every soul. Lord, we are asking for family conflicts to dissolve. We're praying for emotional strain on humanity. Lord, difficult reunions as we gather around the table. Lord, we pray for those difficult reunions and fears of the gatherings of families and friends. Lord, where we haven't seen people for six months, eight months, a year, Lord, help us, dear God, to forgive, to lay it at the cross. But Lord, I pray that you will draw every one of us that is facing peace issues around
the household now. Lord, as we face family tension, work tension, ministry tension, household tension, Lord, I pray for this month. Lord, soften our hearts. Father, in the name of Jesus, we come to you and we pray for every house that is feeling the weight of the family pressure tonight. We pray, dear God, that you will bring peace into conversations that are strained. We're asking for calm when emotional issues flare up. We need unity. Lord, will you help us, Lord, through the misunderstandings as they linger on? As misunderstandings keep arising as that situation rises
again. Lord, as we are waiting for the volcano of emotions to erupt, we are praying for difficult relationships to be rekindled. We're praying for strength. We're asking God that you will move over lives tonight, that the Spirit of the Living God bring harmony, bring harmony, God, bring unity in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, as we are under emotional strain, financial strain, dear God, mental strain, loss, worry, fear, doubt. Lord, let us move by the Spirit of the Living God. And wherever we are today, we're praying for family tension to go. We're praying for Christmas stress to go. And Lord, we
hold on to the Word of God. Bless every family, bless every tribe, every tongue in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Come, Holy Spirit, bless us today as we gather around the Word of God. Brother and sister, never give up. I pray that through this season that you will find peace and rest. And let's pray for those members of the families, the friends, the work colleagues at this season that we will find unity in every heart, mind, body, and soul in Jesus' name. May the Lord bless you until tomorrow. Follow us on the social media dailyprayer.uk and also on YouTube. God bless until tomorrow.
