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. God bless you. It is pressing six o'clock on Christmas Day, the 25th of December. We are live here in the studio. What has your day bears been like? You know, what does it look like? You know, we're pushing hard for these prayers wherever you are right now in the glorious name of Jesus Christ. It is 6 p.m.
Christmas Day, and as we have this Christmas Day special, we're praying right now for hope for a weary world. As the kids driven you mad today, as the family just torn things apart, or has it been peaceful? You know, we gotta have a little chuckle to ourselves because you know, Christmas Day it brings all types of emotions, and uh we want to welcome you in right now. It's a bit of a different prayer uh theme. Normally, we're at six o'clock at this time here in the studio. We will be praying for four nations around the world, but six o'clock now, Christmas Day, the 25th of December, right now, here live in London, England, Spirit of the Living God, we're praying for hope. Lord, we're praying for hope on this Christmas day. There's gotta be hope, Lord. There's gotta be hope because our God is hope, our God is love, and you are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And Father, we thank you that there is light in the darkness and there is hope to this weary world.
And as we gather, Lord, after dinner, Lord, after breakfast, after the evening meal right now, Lord, as we are weary and tired, father, as we have eaten so much, Lord, we could split down the sides. Spirit of the living God, we ask you, dear God, that you will bring peace to every heart, every mind, every soul right now. And Lord, as we gather around the world, we believe that John 1 5 is for each and every one of us. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. I pray for wherever you are now, in the beautiful name of Jesus Christ, that the love of God, the Spirit of God, and the beauty of his presence will bless you. I pray that there is light in your house. I pray that there is light in your heart. And for those that are just contemplating, thinking and reflecting back on the day, back on the year, back on time gone by, I pray that you will find that there is light in your heart and you will never ever give
up. Father, wherever we are today, from London to Seoul, from Seoul, dear God, Toronto, Toronto, Mumbai, Cape Town, Berlin, Bronaceres, Spirit of the Living God, we pray for such an outpouring of your love. And Lord, at this Christmas evening, right now, just gone six o'clock here in the UK, Lord, as we search, dear God, as we're searching for hope, because Lord, we got emotional fatigue, the heaviness of the day, Lord, the desire, dear God, for renewed hope and strength at this hour. Lord, will you pour out your love across every heart, every mind, and may we be filled to the fullness, Lord, of there is. Lord, I believe, Lord God, that you are restoring us for those that feel spiritually drained at this hour, for those that are carrying private battles within themselves. Lord, I pray that they will find a peace and they will find a place and they will find a hope in Jesus Christ. But Lord, not only do we stand with John chapter 1, verse 5, the light shines in the darkness, and the darkness not covers it. Father, we believe that Isaiah 9, verse 2 is for each and every one of us.
The people walk in the darkness have seen a great light. So Lord, that scripture, for those that walk in darkness, they have seen a great light. And our God is drawing them to the light. Because Jesus Christ says, I am the light of the world. And God said in Genesis chapter 1, verse 3, let there be light. And there was. I thank you that the light of the world is shining. Lord, at this Christmas evening, Father, as we approach, dear God, four minutes past six here on this Christmas evening, I pray for peace. I dear God, I dig deep into this prayer chamber right now. And Lord, we pray that the shadows, dear God, of yesterday will go, that the fear of yesterday will go, the loneliness,
dear God, and they'll be healing right now. Lord, let your light shine, heal, strengthen, protect. But Lord, we believe in miracles. And right now, Lord, as I'm even getting tired right now, just coming up to five. Oh, what is it? Five minutes past, almost five minutes past six at Christmas Day. Lord, we love you. But Lord, we want to go home and have a sleep in the name of Jesus. God bless you wherever you are in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. It is Christmas Day, as I said. We have just hit the target point. It is five minutes past, I believe. Five minutes past six. I pray that you've had a great day. I pray that you have a great evening and whatever it looks like until we gather again at 8 p.m. We will speak to you soon. 8 p.m. here in the UK, live in this studio. May the spirit, may the power, may the love of God be over you. This is Christmas Day special, live here in London, England. Thank you for praying with us today for our daily devotion.
