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 to the studio, which is info at dailyprayer.uk. Wherever you are across the world, I believe that this is so strong for each and every one of us.
Wherever we are, we gotta pray this prayer. Father, in the name of Jesus, will you steady my heart right now? Jesus, will you carry this body, Lord? We're tired and we're weary and we are exhausted. Lord, we need the power of God, we need the fire of God, we need the Holy Spirit, Lord. Come, dear God, into our lives like never before. Jesus, show me the way forward. Lord, I'm living my life, dear God, on the motorway. Lord, I'm living my life, dear God, in this fast car of life. Lord, this car, dear God, is almost getting out of control. And we say, Jesus, take the will. Jesus, take the will of my life. Jesus, take my life. Father, Holy Spirit, come and take control of our lives. Father, we are searching, we are looking for a way forward. But Lord, we're on the motorway right now and it is foggy. Lord, we're on the motorway and it is lashing it down with rain. Lord, we're on the motorway, Lord, and we are traveling at high speed in the dark. Lord, we need you to take the will of our life, Father, and control this vehicle in which we are driving. Spirit of the living God, you are the way, the truth, and the life. And Jesus, guide us. Lord, can you guide us home? Can you guide us to that place where we find rest? Our home, dear God, is in you. So, Lord, I pray, Lord, for the prodigals that we will find
that Father's house, that we will come back to the Father's house. Because Lord, there is fog in front of us. Lord, this car that we're in, known as life, Father, we are worried about this life in which we are driving. And Lord, we pray that you will take the will. Jesus. Show me the way forward. Lord, you've got to be our satnav. Lord, you've got to be our guide. Lord, you've got to be this light to this world because Lord, it is dark in this world. And Father, at this hour, Father, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the field of life, from the field of life to the skirmishes, dear God, to the battles within and the external battles, from the private battles to the corporate battles, dear God, to the social media battles, to the text, to the email, to the life, to family, to friends, dear God, to the battles that we go through at work, school, bullying. Father, in the name of Jesus, Lord, show me the way forward. Because Lord, I have leaned too much into the world. Lord, I have taken my eyes off the cross. We have taken our eyes off the word. And Lord, we have looked at the world too long. So right now, Spirit of the living God, I pray that you will lift us and carry us. Lord, lift anyone, dear God, that is worried about their future. Carry each and every one
of us. Lord, we believe that Proverbs 3 is for each and every human being right now. Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and he will make your path straight. Lord, I need to trust in you. Lord, I need to rest in you. Lord, I need you. Jesus, show me the way forward. It is that simple for me, Lord. Lord God, from London to Sydney, Toronto, Glasgow, Dubai, France, Eritrea, Holy Spirit, please, take the wheel of this car. Take my life. Lord, slow this journey down. Father, we are living, dear God, in the fast lane. Father, we are driving a car that is fueled on high octane fuel. And that, Lord, is egos. That, dear God, is frustration. That, dear God, is the hunger of the world. And Father, Lord, we don't want to drive the car of the world. Lord, we want to seek the kingdom of God. And I pray wherever we are at this hour, as the sun rises, as the sun sets on your life, Jesus, show me the way forward. I don't know
about you, wherever you are around the world, but I love this. Jesus, show me the way forward. I need you. I desperately need you, God. Come, Holy Spirit, be that line of Judah, be that gentle dove in our lives. Take the will of our lives. Lead us through the fog on the motorway. Carry us, we pray, in the glorious name of Jesus Christ. Never give up. God is with you wherever you are around the world. Don't go too far. I'll catch you on the next prayer.
