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 that prayer request, you can email us at info at dailyprayer.uk. Wherever you are, scattered across the world, the sun is rising. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Whatever your time zone is, wherever you are, whatever tribe, whatever tongue, whatever colour, whatever culture you're from, the spirit of the living God
is with you. And yes, we are listening to wars and rumors of wars. We are watching kingdoms rise against kingdoms. But brother and sister, God is gonna strengthen our mind. Let's not engage in what the political rows are, let's not engage in that warfare of the political agenda. Let's rise above that and let's just lean into Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ is calling you.
We're gonna jump straight into the book of Philippians 4 verse 7. This is an evergreen scripture, this is alive and well from Genesis to Revelations. But Philippians 4 verse 7, we're very familiar. This is a beautiful scripture, and it says the peace of God will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Father, as we come to you right now, I pray for every listener around the world. Thank you, dear God. Thank you for their lives and whatever their lives portray, whatever is going on in their situations. Lord, I pray that today will be a turning point for all of us, that hope will grow and confidence returns. And Lord, our hearts will smile. Lord, that you will lift the heaviness, dear God, the humdrum of life, the rhythm of monotony. Break that, Lord. We want a fresh new day today. And we come to you, Jesus. Strengthen my mind for the new day and fill me with your peace that the world cannot break. Holy Spirit, I thank you that the world cannot break the peace of God. And as we come to you at this hour, wherever we are scattered, from London to Nigeria, from Nigeria to Singapore, Singapore to Argentina, and then all the way to the Netherlands.
Spirit of the living God, you are the great I am. You are the first and you are the last. And at this early door, Lord, as the sun rises on our life, Father, we pray that we will find that the deity has given us energy, that the Holy Spirit is leading us into calm, that the word of God is right in our innermost being. You told Joshua, do not let this book of the law depart from thy mouth. Meditate on it day and night. Then you will be successful and prosperous wherever you go. Father, I pray, Lord, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the school run to the field of life, Spirit of the living God, whatever we are doing in our lives, guard our hearts and our minds in Christ Jesus. We believe in miracles. We believe in power. Lord, we're gonna trust in you. As the good book of Isaiah 26 says, trust in the Lord. Father, we're gonna trust in you. Lord, you're stirring us for a new day. This is a great day. This is a day where breakthrough comes. Lord, we're gonna get some swagger today. We're gonna walk in boldness. We're gonna walk in power. We're gonna walk in authority. We're gonna open that front door of our house and we're gonna walk out in glory and power. We're not gonna allow the world to try and manipulate
and control. We're not gonna allow the line manager, we're not gonna allow the culture, we're not gonna allow the rhythm of war, we're not gonna allow the politicians, we're not gonna allow church and the media, we're not gonna allow social media to control who we are, because we are blessed and highly favoured, wonderfully and fearfully made from the battles of life, Father. Yes, in the name of Jesus. Father, from the boardroom, hallelujah, wherever we are, as we crisscross the world. Father, we take the children to school as we get in the gym, as we take the dogs for a walk, as we just get our lives ready for whatever is going to unfold. Lord, let it unfold because we're blessed and highly favored. Whatever comes our way, the spirit of the Lord has already gone before. Wherever you are across this beautiful world, Jesus Christ is with
you. Never ever ever give up. There is a new sunrise coming in your life. There is a new day, there are new beginnings, and never allow the world to dictate to you who you are. God says, You're mine. He's called you by name and he loves you. And guess what, brother and sister? It's not about getting in the religious box called the church, it's about getting in the word of God and being a Jesus follower. I'll catch you soon. Don't go too far. Grab that coffee. Come on, see you soon.
