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. If you've got a prayer request, you can email us at info at dailyprayer.uk.
Thank you to everybody that is listening to us on the RB Christian Radio. There is no news, there is no weather, there is no traffic, just pure music to carry you through the battlefields, the skirmishes, the troubles of life. And everybody that is listening to the back library of all these podcasts, the spirit of the Lord is
over you. What we're praying for today, we're gonna jump straight in and we're gonna pray for the persecuted church. But before we go any further, let's hold our place a moment. Put your socks on, put your coffee down. We are about to pray for each other. Come on, let's lock shields of faith. Father, in the name of Jesus. We just lock together for these few seconds. Before we go any further, Lord God, I pray for the listeners wherever they are, as they're jumping in the car right now, as they're throwing the kids in the car, Lord, as they're putting their luggage in the boot, Lord, as they're commuting across the world, as they're jumping on the tube, they're jumping on the train. Father, from the battlefield to the boardroom, Spirit of the Living God, we pray right now from Auckland to London, from London, Los Angeles, Cape Town, Seoul, and Berlin. Lord, we pray that you will strengthen us, that you will strengthen each and every one of us today, whatever we are facing. But right now, Lord, let your anointing and let your love, Lord, be wrapped around everyone that is with me.
But Jesus, as we come to the cross of Calvary, we're asking you right now, Lord, that you will bless the persecuted church across the world. Father, wherever they are gathering at this moment in time, whatever their life is reflecting, Lord, we pray for those, dear God, that are in lockdown because they're running because of the gospel of Jesus Christ. We pray for our brothers and sisters, Lord, that are running for their lives, those that are facing persecution, those, dear God, that are hiding because of the gospel of Jesus Christ. Lord, we pray for breakthrough in the name of Jesus. We pray that you'll strengthen and heal lives. Lord, strengthen the persecuted church. Give strength and wisdom to our brothers and sisters, those families that are running, those, dear God, that are hiding. Lord, in the name of Jesus, we pray, Lord, for serious breakthrough in our lives. That the love of God will carry us and help us. Lord, that you will redeem us in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. So, Lord, as we pray for the persecuted church, not only do we pray for our brothers across the world, Lord, we also pray for each and every one of
us. Lord, we need wisdom today. Lord, and as we think, dear God, for those that are incarcerated because of the gospel, Lord, as we walk freely, Lord, I pray for our mindset, Lord God, that you will help us in the name of Jesus. Lord, we believe that James 1, verse 5 is for each and every one of us. If anyone lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who will give you graciously. Father, will you give us wisdom? Lord, will you give us strength? As we face this hour, Father, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the field of life, from the field of life to the prison, from the prison to the hospital, from the hospital, dear God, to the hospice, to every area of life. We need you, Lord, as we pray for our brothers and sisters around the world, in the persecuted church, in the suffering church, those, dear God, that are commuting, those are at work, those that are suffering, we pray, dear God, for the global believer right now, the Bible-believing believer, dear God, from the west to the south, to the north to the east.
Lord, let the Spirit of the Lord carry each and every one of us. Lord, one thing's for sure right now, wherever we are, we need Jesus. And Lord, we believe that the Psalms of David, the prayers of David, Psalm 32, verse 8, I will instruct you and teach you in the way that you should go. Father, teach us, carry us, anoint us. We feel overwhelmed, but we're not going to allow the overwhelming feeling to dictate about our future. Lord, we say, Jesus, take the will of this life. Father, take this will of this car that we are driving, known as life. Lord, we pray that you will steer us and carry us in the right direction. Help us on the motorway of life, Spirit of the Living
God. We believe in miracles, and wherever you are across the world, whatever you're battling, whatever you're facing, Jesus, give me clarity and calm my steps for this new day. The Spirit of the Lord is over you. We will catch you at the next prayer. Don't go too far. God bless.
