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, love, and strength. Brother and sister, it is 12 pm here in the UK. It is the 1st of January 2026, and the power and the love of God is over your life. Come on, we're up, we're out, we're moving forward, but we are live here in this studio in London,
England. It is gone, it is finished, Christmas is gone, Boxing Day is gone, that funny bit in between is gone. New Year's Day is arrived to our lap right now. It is 12 pm here live in London, England. Old Ang Zion, what's all that about? That's gone. Fireworks, where are they? They've gone. You know, all the rhythm of New Year's Eve is gone and it's empty. But Jesus Christ is calling us. Come on, let's rise in the name of Jesus. Let's have faith like we've never had faith before. Let's pray like we've never prayed
before. Father, in this quiet moment, just gone twelve, here live in London, England. Father, I ask you right now for peace. Lord, the noise of the rhythm of the season, Lord, it's driven us mad. But right now, Lord, we want calm. We want calm right now. Calm for every heart. Lord, as the day is unfolding across the world as it unfolds like an envelope. Lord, as we pull the letter out, the word of God, as we pull the word of God out of the envelope of life, Father, we pray for the love of Jesus. We pray for justice around the world. We pray for peace around the world. We pray for guidance at this time of year. And Lord, we're looking that we're going to trust in you like never before. And today, Lord, as we stand, as we rest, as we be still, Lord, maybe we're still irritated, we're a bit frustrated, we're still unsure about what lies ahead. I pray for clarity right now. Clarity for God's guidance and for new decisions and a new year. A new day. Lord, this is still an odd day here. Lord, and I just pray, Father God, as we are on the New Year's Day here live in London, England, that the love of Jesus will keep us strong.
And we believe that Proverbs 3, verse 5 is for us. Trust in the Lord with all your heart. And lean on your, not on our understanding, but lean into Jesus. Open that word out for yourself. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and he will make your path straight. Trust in the Lord with all of your heart. Father, as we're in prayer. Father, as the the sun has risen, as the fireworks are gone, as the world, dear God, still turning. Father, as old anxion, dear God, has just faded away. Lord, as all those New Year's resolutions, dear God, are burnt out already, and we're only into the early doors of New Year's Day, Lord, as we're tired and still exhausted from all the Razmatazz and all the chaos, dear God, and all the strange rhythm from Christmas all the way to now. I pray, Lord, that we will lose that rhythm. And Lord, that we will trust in the Lord with all of our heart.
And Lord, that we will stand on the beautiful book of James 1, verse 5. If any one of you lacks wisdom, ask God who gives generously. Lord, I need to be wise because Lord, I act out of my head. And Lord, I don't want to act out of my head. I want to live out of the word of God. Lord, I want to be, we want to be. Lord, all of us want to be your ambassadors. We want to help this dying world. We want to see captives freed. We want to see those healed. We want to see miracles unfolding in our own personal lives. We want to see, dear God, the love of God around the world. Father, I pray that the word of God, that we will trust in you with all of our heart. And we won't lean on our own understanding. But Lord, that we will walk in the word of God and we will feel your love and your compassion and your mercies are new
every morning. But right now, bless everybody, wherever we are around this world, Father, as we've gathered for the Word of God. We believe in miracles in the name of Jesus. Come, Holy Spirit, strengthen us this day. May God bless you and carry you. My name is Reverend Ben Cooper. We will see you around about 6 p.m. tonight, UK time, 6 p.m. for this New Year's Day special. God is with you. God bless.
