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, the Lord is with us. It is early doors here in the UK. We are getting ready for the school run. We're getting ready for the commute. We are going back right in it. We are Monday, the 5th of January, 5 a.m. Lord, I pray. Help us. Father, we're not sleeping well at the moment because Lord, we've got to get back to work. Lord, we've got to get the kids to school, Lord. It is early doors, Lord, and help me, Jesus.
Sisters and brothers, wherever you are around the world, we're praying for peace for that restless mind. Father, in the name of Jesus, will you help us? We have got a restless mind. Lord, we're worried about getting back to work today. We're tired and we're weary. And we need the power of God and the love of Jesus Christ. And right now, Lord, whatever our life is reflecting, Lord, will you pour out your love, your mercy, your saving grace, will you strengthen us in the mighty name of Jesus Christ? Lord, I thank you for what you're doing, for what you've done. We thank you, dear God, Christmas is gone. Hallelujah in the name of Jesus. We thank you for the gap in between has gone. Lord, we thank you for New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. Lord, it's gone, but Lord, now it's early doors and we're getting ready for the commute.
So, Father, I invite, Lord, my brothers and sisters to lock in right now. Father, as we are getting ready to go into the ivory towers of work, as we're getting ready to go into university and school, the ivory towers, the systems, dear God of the world. Father, pour out your spirit. Come, Holy Spirit, pour out your love over each and every one of us. Father, we come to you, Lord, at this early day. Lord, as we are kicking the duvet off with frustration, we're crying, we're worried, we're fearful. Lord, we've got to get the kids ready. We've got to get ourselves ready. Lord, we're getting ready for work. We've got to go into those hostile environments. Lord, will you give us peace of mind in the name of Jesus? So Lord, we thank you, Lord, for what you're doing in our lives. But Spirit of the Living God, we need your
love. And right now, Lord, we are praying for that beautiful book of Philippians 4, verse 7. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus. Lord, as we get ready, Lord, help us not to overthink, to not to over-engineer, Lord, our racing thoughts, the emotional overload. Lord, help us today in the name of Jesus. Lord, release this tension, this restlessness, this worry. Lord, we need to trust you. Father, Lord, help us right now in the name of Jesus. Lord, this chaos, Lord, this these thoughts. Father God, help us today. Lord, we are not looking forward to today. And we need your help. Father, we got anxious thoughts over the hour. We got anxious thoughts over this morning. Lord, we've not slept well. And Lord, we need your help and your guidance. And Lord, wherever the listeners are right now, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom, dear God, all the way to the school run. From the school run to the field of life, dear God, we pray as they're on the commute right now. Lord, as they're as they're getting ready for school, getting ready for work. Father, we pray for those that are catching the train, catching the tube. Lord, mooching to the bus stop right now. Those that are starting their car for the first time after the break. Lord, let the love of God, those that are getting the children ready for the school run and everything that goes along with the rhythm of life.
Father, bring peace, we pray, to every house, every tribe, every tongue. But Lord, wherever we are, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the board run to the school run, from the school run, dear God, to the treadmill of life, from the treadmill of life, dear God, to the golf course, from the golf course to the hoover, from the hoover, dear God, to just living life. Father, we're tired and we're weary. And Lord, we got to get back in the rhythm. And Lord, we're worried about 2026. Lord, we're only five days in. We're only five days in, Lord, and we need some help. Father, our hearts and wherever we are, from London, right here, live to Lagos, Toronto, Dubai, Sao Paulo, Brazil. Father, we pray that you will move through the Americas, right through the Philippines and Asia. Let your love and your glory be over every town, every area of life. But bless us as we're back to school, bless us as we're back to work. Father, back to church, back to ministry, back to life. Father, guard our hearts in the name of Jesus Christ. This scripture is for you as we back
out of this. This is Psalm 62, verse 5. Yes, my soul finds rest in God. My hope comes from Him. Hope in God. There's only one place to seek yourself, and that is in Jesus. Sisters and brothers, wherever you are today, it is Monday morning. It has just gone five o'clock here in the UK. It is almost five uh four minutes past and 33 seconds. The love of God is over your life. Never give up. Come on. Let's get that satchel,
let's get that oyster card, let's get moving, get the petrol, get the diesel. Come on. In the name of Jesus, God is with you. God bless. We'll see you soon.
