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. Sister and brother, where are you right now? What are you doing right now at this moment in time? Come on, we're gonna pray. Are you gonna lock in with me? Come on, it is early doors, whatever the time zone is.
Maybe you're getting up for work, maybe you're getting up for school, maybe you're just tucking yourself in bed, maybe you're stuck on the sofa, maybe you just feel that you can't get out, maybe you're suffering with mental health, social anxiety, whatever is going on. We pray for peace over your life. The love of Jesus Christ is with you. Come on, sisters and brothers, never give up. Let's get up, let's get out, let's move forward. The Spirit of the Lord is over each and every one of us. We're gonna pray that God will cover our homes. God will cover our homes, our lives, the people in the circle of our life. He will cover them with love and peace. Father,
wherever we are gathering, from London to Zurich, from Zurich to Reykjavik, Father, from Reykjavik all the way to Toronto, from Toronto, dear God, to America, to Asia, to Taiwan, to Hong Kong and China. Lord, we pray for the love of God, cover our homes. Father, we pray that you will cover our homes. We're praying the prayer for protection over our lives, our families, our friends, our work colleagues, every area of our life. Father, the people in the circle of our life right now, we pray for a blessing over them. Lord, we thank you that darkness will not settle on our lives. We thank you that Jesus Christ is our protector, that Jesus Christ is our redeemer, that the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords is over our lives. And we believe in the power of God. We believe in the Holy Spirit. And Lord, we call down the Lion of Judah right now. Father, we ask you that wherever we are around the world, that we will know your love, your presence. Good God, we need you, Jesus. Lord, whatever is going on in our lives right now, Father, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the field of life, from the field of life to the gym, from the treadmill to the treadmill of life.
Spirit of the living God, we pray whatever battles we're going through, whatever fears we are challenged with at this moment. Lord, we will not live by panic. We will not live by social anxiety. We will not live by being scared, dear God, the rhythm of the world. Father, we are not going to get on the trampoline anymore, and we are not going to bounce at the same rhythm of the world. You tell us, do not conform to the pattern of the world. So, Lord, we will not bounce to politics. We will not bounce to the way of the world. We will not bounce to the system of work. Lord God, I pray, Lord, that we will get off the trampoline of life, Father, and we will walk in freedom.
You tell us in the beautiful book of Psalm 91, verse 1, whoever dwells in the shelter of the most high will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. Oh my Jesus, Lord, I thank you that whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High, Lord, we got to live in God. Lord, we got to live in the Word. Father, we got to live in the presence of the Holy Spirit. Lord, draw us to the cross. Lord, we believe that we are born again, spirit-filled, blessed and highly favored, brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. And right now, you tell us through the beautiful book of Proverbs 3, 24, when I lie down, you will not be afraid. When you lie down, you will sleep, and that sleep will be sweet. Father, we thank you that as we lie down, we will not be afraid. Lord, as we tuck ourselves up under the duvet, Lord, as we get ourselves ready for rest tonight, Lord, we are going to rest. And we are not, dear God, going to be challenged by anxiety and fear. We're going to walk and sleep in freedom. May the word of God carry you. We pray for protection, cover our homes. Lord, we thank you that you are blessing every human being in our lives. So, Father, we thank you that our history is at the cross. Our future is in your hands.
Come, Holy Spirit, as you walked with Meshach, Shamrach, and Abendigo, Father, we thank you that you're in the fire of life with us. Come, Holy Spirit, refresh all of us in Jesus' name. Until the next prayer.
