Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself Reverend Ben Cooper recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes of faith, love, hope, and strength. The spirit of the living God is over each and every one of us. It is New Year's Day. God bless you wherever you are, scattered around the world. May the Spirit of the Living God carry you today. It is 2026 here in the UK. Whatever your time zone is around the world, we pray that the love of God and the fire of the Holy Spirit will carry you into your destiny.
Come on, we've left 25 behind and now we're in 26. Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray for courage for each and every one of us. We pray that the fire of God and the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit, Lord, will carry us. Lord, we pray today that you will give us strength for new beginnings and courage to step into 2026 with authority and boldness in the name of
Jesus. Father, we thank you for the beautiful book of Joshua, chapter 1, verse 9. Be strong and courageous. The Lord thy God will be with you wherever you go. Father, what a scripture to start the first day of a brand new year. Father, we believe in miracles. We believe that you are Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom. You are the great I Am. You are worthy of all praise. And Father, we pray for such an outpouring of your spirit over our lives. And Lord, wherever we are gathering, from London, dear God, to New Zealand, from New Zealand to Kuala Lumpur, to Dubai, dear God, Spirit of the Living God, we pray for America right now. We pray for Israel right now. Lord, we pray that you will capture our hearts all the way to Cape Town, Australia, Father, Italy, New York, Father, we pray for the Vatican City, that the love of God will move over Rome, Italy, Europe, Father, Asia. But right now, we believe that as we all step into 2026, Father, we pray that the fire of God, the love of God, and the Spirit of the Living God, Lord, as we watch these screens as Auckland right now hits that brand new year. Father, we thank you that the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit is with each and every one of us. Wherever we are around the world, your love, your mercy, your saving grace is over each and every one of us.
But this year is going to be a year of purpose. This year is going to be a year of healing. This year is going to be a year where the shackles are gone, the chains are gone. Lord, we believe in healing. Lord, we are standing on the threshold of the return of Jesus Christ. And Lord, we thank you that the world, Father, God, is dancing to the rhythm of the word of God. And we pray right now that the love of Jesus, Lord, will permeate over every listener. Father, we're on the battlefield of life, but Lord, your sharpness. Lord, we're in the boardroom setting, but Lord, your sharpness. Wherever we are from the battlefield to the boardroom, Father, in the name of Jesus, Spirit of the living God, Lord, as this year opens up right now, strengthen our hearts. Lord, remove the fear, the hesitation. Lord, there is not and there will never be hesitation in our mind, our spirit, and our soul. Lord, the shadow of last year has gone in the name of Jesus. Lord, break all the discouragement. Lord, we're not going to walk any further right now in January. We're not going to walk any further in fear,
in doubt, in discouragement. We're going to walk in power. We're going to walk in anointing. We're going to walk in confidence with the Spirit of the living God. Lord, we understand fireworks are cracking off all around the world. But Lord, we don't listen to the sound of the fireworks that last for 10 to 20 minutes. Lord, they're up, they're gone, they're lit up, and they're disappeared. Lord, we want to walk in the rhythm with the Lion of Judah. We want to walk with the King of Kings. And Father, as we step into the Word of God, we believe that that beautiful book of Isaiah 43, verse 19 is for each and every one of us. See, I'm doing a new thing. I'm doing it now. God is doing a new thing in your life. The Spirit of the Lord is over you wherever you are. I pray for such an outpouring of the love of Jesus into
your heart, your mind, your body, your soul.
