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. Do you need Jesus? I really need Jesus. Come on. Let's be open, let's be honest.
As we hit the treadmill of January, as we're on the treadmill of January 2026, come on, let's get off the trampoline of the rat race of life. Let's stop bouncing with the world.
Let's not conform to the pattern of the world. Let's get to the cross. People say, Ben, why do you mention the cross so much? Because it's at the cross where Christ said it is finished. Let me tell you, it is finished.
There are new beginnings for your life. Let's stop worrying about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Matthew 6, verse 34. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about
itself. Father, I pray that we close our eyes at this moment in time. We just find a place just to take a couple of minutes out of the rat race of life, and we will just focus on the cross. And Lord, I thank you for the cross. Lord, I'm not lifting up the cross as an idol, I'm not lifting up the cross higher than Jesus Christ. But Lord, I thank you that at the cross Jesus said, It is finished. Father, I thank you. When he bowed his head and gave up his spirit, I thank you that Jesus Christ turned the world into a place of hope. So wherever you are, there is hope because there is hope in Jesus. Just focus on that cross at this moment in time. Let's not think about tomorrow. Because Matthew says 6 verse 34. Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Psalms 139 verse 10. Your hand will guide me. Your right hand will hold me fast. God has got you. We're in prayer, we're in stillness. The love of God is over your life. Help us. Help me not to worry about tomorrow. Because Lord, tomorrow is always coming. Because Lord, there's always a tomorrow. There's always something to worry about. But Lord, I don't want to go any further in January. Lord, what I want, what we want, Jesus, is we want freedom. And wherever we are gathering from London to Seattle, from Seattle to New York, to France, to Lisbon, to Australia, to Japan, Russia, Holy Spirit. We feel overwhelmed about tomorrow. And Lord, when I think about tomorrow, I've always got a tomorrow. So I'm always overwhelmed because of tomorrow. But I don't want to keep thinking about tomorrow and my future. I want to count my blessings now and say thank you,
Lord. Lord, I pray for those that are not well at this moment. I pray for those that are feeling really run down, for those that are carrying life-limiting illnesses, for mental health, for fears, for doubts. I pray, dear God, that you will bring peace and healing to everybody right now in the name of Jesus. And wherever we are gathering, Lord, at the 11th hour, Holy Spirit, remove the anxiety for tomorrow. The worry of mental health, the fear of the unknown, overthinking right now. Help me to stop worrying about my health, social anxiety, fears, doubts. Help me, dear God, not to keep being focused on what the news is saying. I want to hear what Jesus is saying. Father, bless us from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the school run, from the school run to work, from work to the treadmill of life, from the treadmill of life to the treadmill of the gym. Every situation, Father, as we lock shields together across the world, carry my brothers and sisters. Let them feel your
love, Jesus. You are the Lion of Judah, Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom. Lord, you are Yahweh. You are the creator of heaven and earth. And carry us all at this hour and bring peace. May the Spirit of the Lord carry you wherever you are right now. Jesus loves
you. Jesus loves you. Don't ever give up. Keep pressing. Read the Word of God. Pray like you've never prayed. And just believe. Just believe. Until the next prayer. We'll see you soon.
