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. Whatever your situation, whatever the rhythm of your life is, are you on the circus and the trampoline of life, the circus of life, Father?
In the name of Jesus, I bring the listeners before you right now. Father, we feel that we're in a circus some days. Father, it feels crazy. Lord, it feels like we've got clowns around us. It feels like some days, Lord, we got some strange things going on. Lord, we don't want to be in the circus of life. We want to be free. But sisters and brothers, come on. Let's get out the circus. Let's get off the treadmill of life and let's get in the rhythm of the word of God. You know, let's not indulge in what the world is doing. Let's not indulge in the playground of the world, but let's get straight in to the
word of God. Will you lock shields with me today? We're going to pray for Israel. There's a lot of things happening around the world as we see the screens in the studio right here. There's a lot going on around the world, but right now we're going to pray for Israel and we're going to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. Will you lock in with us wherever you are? I'm going to pray for us first and then we're going to go straight in and ask God to move through Israel.
Father, I thank you for every listener right now. But Lord, we don't want to live in the circus anymore. Father, we do not want to live in that environment anymore, Lord. We've make up on stuff. We don't want to be swinging, dear God, through the trapeze of life. Father, we don't want to be bouncing, dear God. We don't want to be dressed up and hanging around with clowns. Lord, we want to be walking with the word of God. So Father, we pray that we won't engage in the circus of life, but Lord, that we will engage in the Word of God. That today we'll find strength and hope and power in the love of God. And every listener, wherever they are around the world, Father, we are praying right now for Jerusalem. And we bring Jerusalem before you. And Father, we pray that there will be breakthrough in Israel. Lord, we believe that the beautiful book, dear God, of Psalm 122, verse 6 is for Israel right now and Jerusalem. Jesus, bring peace to Jerusalem and strengthen the people of Israel. Father, we pray for the peace of Jerusalem. And Lord, we ask right now, right across Israel, at this quiet time of prayer. Lord, the tension that is across Israel and the Middle East. Millions that are searching for hope, safety, and peace. Lord, let the scriptures, dear God, draw Israel. We pray that Israel will be saved. That Israel will know the love of God, the power of God, the beauty of God. Father, we pray that Israel will walk in the scripture, and Israel, there will be peace at this hour. God protect everybody that lives in Israel with divine peace, divine comfort. We pray, Father, for the peace of Jerusalem. Lord, we ask that you will move right away round the Middle East. Protect families, every street, every town, every village. Protect Israel from fear, from violence, instabilities, strengthen leaders with wisdom and calm. Bring peace to those that are mourning. Heal those that are injured. Lord, safety to the vulnerable and courage to those that are living in uncertain days. Surround the children with peace, guard the borders, cut the tension and speak hope into that land. And Father, we bring Israel before the cross of Calvary. And we believe that Israel will be saved.
We believe that Jerusalem is washed in the blood of Jesus. And Father, surround everybody that lives in Israel, bring your love, bring your mercy, bring your strength. But Father, we believe in miracles. And Lord, I pray again for every listener that is with me right now, wherever they are, that the love of God, the power of the Holy Spirit will be with each and every one of us. But Lord, whatever our time zone is, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the school run, from the school run to the field of life, from the field of life to the treadmill of the gym, to the treadmill of life. Father, wherever we are, Father, from the hoover to the washing, to the cleaning, to the ironing, to the cutting of the grass, to the just being a homemaker. Lord, bless the homemakers wherever they are around the world. Father, strengthen those that secure and make the home loving. We pray for those that are at home right now that the home will feel blessed and highly favored. Touch lives, we pray. But Lord, we thank you that the listeners are well, they are blessed and highly favored, wonderfully and fearfully made. Touch their hearts in the name of Jesus.
My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until the next prayer, never give up.
