Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself Reverend Ben Cooper recorded right here live in London, England. What do you need today? Faith, strength, hope, or love? I need all lot. I need the whole lot. I need the full baggage. I need the whole bag. I need everything that Jesus is offering from Genesis to Revelation. We gotta pray for strength. We need hope today. Oh my god, do we need hope? Lord, I feel overwhelmed. We feel exhausted. We still feel
tired. Lord, in the name of Jesus, help us to get to the cross. Help us to get to the cross of Calvary. Lord Jesus, I pray for the listeners. Good morning, wherever you are across this world. The sun is rising in your life. Jesus Christ is calling you to the cross of Calvary. You're not listening to my voice by chance, by coincidence. The divine is calling you. Jesus, restore my hope and lift my spirit when the future feels overwhelming. Is that for you? That's for me right now.
John 16, verse 33. Jesus, restore my hope and lift my spirit when the future feels overwhelming. Lord,
whatever is before us, we pray, dear God, that we will jump out of the boat. Dear God, that we will jump out of that boat of monotony, of fear, of tradition. Lord, that we will step outside of our comfort zone and we will live by faith. Lord, I ask you right now that we will jump out of this boat of being familiar with the world and our surroundings. Lord, get us out of our boat. Get us out of this situation, Lord, because Lord, we're trapping ourselves in Jesus by just staying in such a small parochial stretch. Lord, the world is before us. All things are possible to those who believe. But Lord, I keep staying in this little vessel, this little boat, dear God, that's floating on the sea of life. And Lord, I'm scared to jump out because I'm familiar with the commute run. I'm familiar with the workplace. I'm familiar with the car park space. I'm familiar with the traffic jam. I'm conf I'm familiar with the traffic of life. I'm familiar, Lord. I don't want to stay familiar with the world's surroundings. Lord, I want to go on an adventure.
Lord, I want to go on an adventure with Jesus Christ. Lord, I want to step out, dear God, of this boat of everything being familiar. Lord, I'm tired of the Darfur tunnel. I'm tired of the A2. I'm tired of the M25. Lord, we're tired of London. We're tired of the traffic of life. Lord, we're sitting in traffic right now. Lord, towel to towel, nose to nose. Lord, we're sitting, dear God, on these lanes, just gridlocked in life. Lord, our lives are gridlocked. Lord, it feels like we're going round the circle of the 25. Lord, all we are doing is just going round and round and round. Lord, on the merry-go round of life. Lord, get us off the merry-go round. Lord, we need breakthrough. Lord, I pray that we won't stay, dear God, on the merry-go round of life. That we will get out of the rhythm of monotony, Lord, and we will get away, dear God, from the humdrum beat of the world. And Lord, we will not live our lives according to the pattern of the traffic jam. Lord, that we won't be drawn into the traffic jam on the motorways. Dear God, wherever we are, Lord, just going round and round and round that 25. Lord, we are tired of the traffic of life. Lord, we look to the left and the right, there is traffic. Lord, we look in front, there's traffic. We look in the rear view mirror, there is traffic. Lord, it is raining on the motorway of life. It is windy, it is stormy, it is grey, it is gloomy. Lord, my window wipers are at full stretch. Lord, I can't see in front of me, but all I see is brake lights. All I see, dear God, is fog. All I see is just the same old stuff day in, day out. Lord, I want out. Lord, we want an adventure. So Lord, help us not to think about what is in front of us as it overwhelms us, but help us to look by faith, Lord, as we are in the traffic jam of
life. Lord, I believe in miracles. And right now, Jesus, restore our hope, our life, our faith, and Lord, help us to be focused on what lies ahead, our destiny. And wherever we are, from London to Chicago, Chicago, Berlin, Toronto, Madrid, Cape Town, Sydney, Lord, I pray for anyone that feels hopeless about their future. Dear God, that that will go and they will get out of the boat and they will walk on water. Father, as the storms were beating against that boat on the Lake of Galilee, Lord, as the squall come down and it started to move the boat. Lord, I pray that we won't allow the storm to direct us, but we will get out and we will walk on water and we will
walk to Jesus. So Jesus, keep calling us in the storms. Keep calling us, dear God, in the areas of the traffic of life. Bring us, dear God, so that we can look by faith. And when we know it is right to jump, we will jump. But Lord, the question is, Jesus, when is the right time? And God is calling you now. Step out in faith. Let's get moving and hold on to the word of God. Don't go nowhere. I'll catch you in five. God bless.
