Wherever you are right now, around the world, the love of God is over your life, and the power of the Holy Spirit is sitting in your very soul. God created you. Let's find God's direction. Come on, we are getting and we are moving straight into 2026. We're five days in. Five days in, and we are looking for answers and we are looking for the power of God. Christmas is gone, boxing does gone, that little in-between gap between Christmas and New Year, that's gone. New Year's Eve has just gone up like a firework and disappeared into nowhere. New Year's Day is gone now.
We've got to seek Jesus. Come on, we're gonna seek Jesus. Father, we need to seek you, Lord. Lord, wherever we are gathering right now across this world, Father, we need the Father's arms. We need the guidance of our God. We need the word of God because Lord, Christmas is gone, fireworks have been shot into the air, dear God. New Year's Eve. Everything is happening on the news. We're scared, we're worried, we're weary, dear God, and we need some money. And Lord, we need some help, Father, Lord, come, Holy Spirit. Lord, we're worried about the bills. We're worried about getting back to work. We're worried, dear God, about the vehicle. We're worried about the mortgage, the rent. We're worried, dear God, and we need you. We need some solid direction. So Lord, we've tried everything that the world has to offer. And I'm sorry, Lord, when we look at the world. I'm sorry, Lord, when we follow the pattern of social media. I'm sorry, Lord, when we're trying to make a quick couple of quid here, there, and everywhere. But right now, Lord, I come to you. We come to you at this early
hour. And Lord, we need to trust in the Lord. And I believe God is leading us to Proverbs chapter three through this prayer time. Will you scrum down with me? Will you lock in shields of faith with me wherever you are? Father, in the name of Jesus, we believe that Proverbs chapter 3, verse 5, and thereon is for each and every one of us. The Bible says, trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. Submit your ways to him and he will make your path straight. Father, we're tired, Father God, of leaning to the left, leaning to the right. Father, we're we're tired of trying to fix this jigsaw of life. Lord, we're trying to find this missing piece, Lord, and Lord, we've searched everywhere, but Lord, we're just coming to the realization through this prayer time that that missing piece is Jesus Christ. Lord, not that you're missing out of our lives, dear God, or anything like that. It's dear God, it's us. So Father, I come to you right now, Lord. And that missing piece of that jigsaw, dear God, of this Christian walk is me trusting in Jesus. Lord, that missing piece of that jigsaw is the word trust. It's got a big thing on it, trust. And Lord, I'm gonna trust in you. Lord, I'm not gonna lean on my own understanding according to the word of God. Lord, I'm gonna trust in my God and my King. And I come to you right now and I pray, Lord, for such an outpouring of your spirit over our lives. And Lord, I pray, dear God, that the listeners will scrum down with me around the world. Father, we rest in the word, we hold in the word, we thank you for the word of
God. And right now, Lord, we walk in Psalm 32, verse 8. I will instruct you and teach you the way that you should go. I will counsel you with my loving eye over you. Father, Lord, we love these scriptures. These scriptures are telling us that every direction, every path, every area of our lives, you see, you direct, you lead. So, dear God, I pray for the listeners wherever they are scattered around the world, that the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit will be with them right now. And I pray, dear God, that they will find and we will find, and all of us, dear God, will carry one another in prayer. Because Lord, we're scared and we need clear direction of what lies ahead. So, Father, bless us from the crown of our head to the very sole of our feet.
May the Spirit of the Lord be over you today. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Never ever give up. God is with us. Until the next prayer. See you soon.
