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.
Father, in the name of Jesus, we're gonna jump straight in, Lord, because we feel aggravated. Lord, we feel frustrated. And Lord, will you watch over us? Will you help us, dear God, to have wisdom? Lord, will you help us, dear God, to be stable?
Lord, we believe that Joshua 1 9 is for us. Have I not commanded you be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord thy God will be with you wherever you go. Sisters and brothers, good morning, good afternoon, and good evening. Wherever you are, Joshua 1 9 is for you. And for me, have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged, for the Lord thy God will be with you wherever you go.
Father, right now at this hour, wherever we are around this beautiful world, Jesus, watch over each and every one of us at this hour. But Lord, as we home in right now to New Zealand, Father, we pray for every human being that is under my voice. We pray that the love of God, Lord, will refresh every listener that is with me. But Lord, just for these minutes, Lord, we pray, dear God, for New Zealand. Lord, we lead New Zealand, dear God, with wisdom. Father, from London to Christchurch, from Christchurch to Auckland, from Auckland to Wellington to Hamilton to Durban, Father, right the way through New Zealand, we pray for a revival. We pray that Bibles will get in. We pray, dear God, that revival will happen in Australia. We pray, dear God, for the outer hemisphere, that the love of God, Lord, will move by the name of Jesus. We pray, Father, for every heart that is with me. Father, as we are woven together through the Word of God, we stand strong today, Lord. And we pray, Lord, for leaders, for workers, for communities that are seeking stability, peace, provision, and hope. Lord, we need hope today.
And wherever we are around the world, Father, as we watch the news, as we see what's happening, as we see the antichrist, dear God, the antichrists, and I say yes, more than one, as we are watching the forerunners, Lord, we are watching the stage being set for the Antichrist to take that place. Father, in the name of Jesus, we need peace. Father, we pray for the church around the world as well, that the church, dear God, will look up and look to Israel and see the signs of the times. We pray that the love of God will move right the way through Israel right now, right away, dear God, through the Gaza Strip, that there will be peace through Jerusalem.
But dear God, we pray, Jesus, cover New Zealand with your peace, strengthen Christ Church, comfort those that are facing uncertainty, rebuild wary hearts, Lord, restore stability after the seasons and the strains and the storms of life. And we pray, Father, wherever we are, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the field of life. Father, we pray as we're on the school run, dear God, we're on the coffee run. Lord, we're sitting on the bench, dear God, at our lunchtime. Lord, just looking at our shoes, completely thinking to ourselves, Lord, what is going on in my life? Lord, I pray that you will make a way where there seems to be no way. Lord, that you will open doors of opportunity. Lord, that you will provide, dear God, food and stability for homes. Lord, that you will seriously, dear God, open a way. Because Lord, we cannot bounce the same way anymore. Lord, we can't bounce the same way, dear God, as the rhythm of the world. Father, we need to have hope. And Lord, as we look at the political
agenda, as we watch the screens, Father, this world gives us no hope. But there is hope in Jehovah Jirah. There is hope in the God above all gods. There is hope in Jesus Christ. There is hope in the Word of God. Father, I pray for every listener right now as we are gathering around the world that you will strengthen families. Lord, that you will strengthen those young people. Lord, that you will strengthen the elderly. Lord, whatever our age is, whatever our name is, whatever the tribe, the tongue, whatever the language is, whatever the color of the skin, we pray for breakthrough. Lord, we believe that shackles are gone, fear is gone, that the Spirit of the Lord is over each and every one of us. And today we're going to be strong and courageous. And Father, the devil is under our feet. Lord, let our cup runneth over. Lord, you prepare a table before us in the presence of thy enemies. You anoint our head with oil. My cup runneth over. Sister and brother, Psalm 23, verse 5.
As we pedal out of this prayer time, I will catch you in just a little while for the next one. But just remind ourselves of Psalm 23, verse 5. You prepare a table before us in the presence of our enemies. You anoint our head with oil. My cup runneth over. Your cup runneth over. God is with you. Until the next prayer, hold on tight.
