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, it is the early door of the day, the sun might be rising, the sun might be setting, whatever your life is looking like. We are praying that the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit in the quietness of this morning, in this rich hour, I pray that you will feel the love of God. And we're going to pray. And what we're going to pray for, Rev, it's ever so simple
at this moment. And we're going to pray out of the Gospel of Matthew 6, verse 34. Jesus, break the anxiety that rises in the dark and steady my heart for tomorrow. Holy Spirit, we invite you in. You are the God above all gods. You are the Lion of Judah. You are the great I am. Lord, and at this early hour right now, Lord, we got to lean into the book of Psalms. And Lord, we we rest and we lean into the psalmist. We go into the prayers of David 62, chapter 62, and Lord, verse 5. Yes, my soul finds rest in God. My hope comes from Him. Dear God, in the name of Jesus, I pray for every heart that is under the sound of my voice. Lord, that we will find hope that comes from you. That we won't, dear God, put our weight, dear God, on society and culture and social media. Lord, I pray for everyone that is worried about who may press the button of war. Lord, at this hour, Lord, as we're watching the screens, as we're listening to radios, Lord, social media, Lord, I pray that we won't get caught in the propaganda, that we won't get caught in the whirlwind, dear God, of this and that. The table tennis, dear God, that goes on with wars, rumors of wars, the table tennis, dear God, of the political agenda. But Lord, we will lay that away. Lord, that we will push that aside. And Lord,
we will come to the cross of Calvary. We will throw open the word of God. And Father, wherever we are, from the battlefield to the boardroom of life, Lord, from London to Canada, from Canada, Brazil, India, South Africa, and Australia. Dear God, Lord, as the night starts to press down, as the worries may start to spiral out of control, Lord, we do not want to worry about tomorrow. Because today, Lord, has got enough trouble. And Lord, we believe right now, at this hour, Lord, as the sun may be rising, as the sun may be setting on our lives, I pray for those that feel lonely, for those that feel scared, for those hearts that are beating right now, that can't sleep, that can't rest. Dear God, that are clock watching at this moment in time, just watching the clock ticking away. Lord, I pray that we will not allow our circumstances from yesterday, six months, five years, ten years to control our destiny. Because Lord, we believe the best is before us. Lord, and we leave all of our baggage at the cross. We leave everything in the arms of Jesus. Jesus, it's simple today, God. Help me brief. Help us rest in the Word of God. And dear God, wherever we are, Spirit of the living God, will you carry us at this
hour? Lord, from the battlefields of life. Lord, help my soul find rest in God. Lord, my hope has got to come from you because there is nowhere else to go. And Lord, we need you like never before in our lives. And we are praying that the Spirit of the Lord will supercharge us, that we will feel the power of God, the love of the Holy Spirit, and the presence of the Word of God. So at this hour, Lord, I pray for calm. Calm, dear God, as we commute in the car. Calm, dear God, in the van, in the circle of life, the hospital corridors. Father God, in the hospices, living rooms, bedrooms, the every area of our homes, our lives. Lord, let your word rise up like a fortress. Lord, help us not to worry about tomorrow. Let your word bring up that standard. Spirit of the living God, wherever we are right now, remove the inner insecurities, those battles that we're facing. Just life, just the circle of life. Give us strength, we pray. And Jesus, break the anxiety that raises in the dark hour and steady my heart for tomorrow. May the glory, may the love of Jesus Christ, and may that beautiful book be resignating in your
heart. God is calling you. There is a way forward, and his name is Jesus. Never give up. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. I'll catch you at the next prayer. God bless.
