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. The Spirit of the Lord is with you. Wherever you are, whatever your life looks like, the power of God is over you.
Yes, we are gently moving out of Christmas. We've gone up to Christmas. We've got through Christmas Day. We are pushing through Boxing Day. We are on the other side. And I pray that you will find peace and rest.
And we are going to be praying in just a few moments for God's guiding light to remove the anxiety and the racing thoughts and the restlessness in the early hours. But I just want to say thank you to everybody that sows the seed of love through prayer, through whatever and however you do that. But if you can buy us a coffee, that is absolutely amazing. Buy us a coffee, just hit in the show notes below, just three pounds a month. Go into that little app, have a look around, have a mooch about. There's a few things happening in there. But thank you so much to everyone that prays for us, everyone that sends emails in. And please remember, let's remind ourselves that every Sunday night from now on at 9 p.m. UK time on dailyprayer.uk you can find us on X and also on RB Christian Radio. RB Christian Radio will be live at 9 p.m. for 45 minutes for
live prayer. Father,
in the name of Jesus. Lord, it's enough of me rambling. Lord, I come to you right now. Now Lord, I'm praying, Lord, that night anxiety will go. I pray, dear God, for any anxiety will go. But right now we're praying, Lord, for the early hours, dear God. Father, as we're trying to rest, as we pull the duvet over, Lord, we pray for those that struggle to sleep. We pray for the racing thoughts. We pray, dear God, for the restless hearts tonight. And Lord, we thank you, dear God, that the word of God is power, the word of God is life. And as we hold on to the beautiful book of Luke, chapter 1, verse 79, to shine, dear God, the light through the darkness. And in the shadows, Lord, guide our feet with paths of peace. Father, we need paths of peace. And as we come to you right now, Lord, we need that light in the darkness. Father,
dear God, as the darkness can feel some heavy sometimes, Lord. We we need the light, Lord. You also tell us, dear God, in the beautiful book of Psalms 119, 105, your word is a lamp unto my feet, a light for my path. Father, we thank you that the light of the world is Jesus Christ. And all those right now, we pray that light will break into the dark thoughts, that light will break into those dark areas of life.
But wherever we are gathering, from London to Manila, from Manila all the way to Lagos, from Lagos, Saint Paolo, Lord, all the way Sydney, Toronto, Israel, come, Holy Spirit. Lord, we just speak directly to each and every one of us. And Lord, we lay, we rest right now in Psalms 63, verse 6, on my bed, I will remember you. I think of you through you who watches over my night. I believe that God is watching over you
right now. And as we are in prayer at this very moment in time, I pray that the thoughts and the anxiousness and the surge of Christmas as it starts to dilute itself, I pray that we will not worry about money. The aftermath, the aftermath of commercialized Christmas, Father, we pray against the aftermath. Lord, the angrenade has gone off. Lord, the explosion has gone of Christmas. Lord, everything has happened. And Father, wherever we are, from the battlefield to the boardroom, whatever we are doing, Lord, I pray that we will lock in the rugby scrum of life and we will walk together. We
will press in together and we will carry each other over the line of victory. We believe in victory. We believe in the power of God. But we pray for families. We pray for the individuals that are worrying about money right now. We pray, dear God, for those that are concerned about their family. We need direction. We need help over the coming year, Lord. We pray, dear God, that the love of Jesus will be so strong in our lives. And Lord, in the mighty name of Jesus, let your light shine into every house tonight. Let your glory, Lord, calm down. We believe in miracles.
So, Father, wherever we are, whatever nation we're in, whatever tribe we're from, wherever we are, Spirit of the Living God, we pray for those that can't sleep, those, dear God, that are having anxious thoughts, the those that suffer from insomnia. Lord, give us calm to our minds, Spirit of the Living God. I thank you for the brothers and sisters wherever they are today. Let your love, Lord, and let your mercy be over each and every one of them. Cover us in the blood of Jesus. Father, thank you for the listeners and wherever you are. Thank you for praying with us today. Thank you for standing with us today. And for more daily devotion, or follow us on the social platform at dailyprayer.uk. May the God that we serve carry you until tomorrow. My name's Reverend Bender Cooper.
