Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself Ravra 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 infodailyprayer.uk. Whatever your time zone is, whatever your culture, whatever your language, wherever you are, whoever
you are. I just pray that the love of God will just bring peace to your heart right now in every situation that you won't be anxious, you won't be worried, that you'll be casting all of our cares onto Jesus. I don't know about you, I don't know what your time zone is, but we got to leave the suitcase. We got to leave the suitcase of worries, the suitcases of fear, doubt, the suitcases of history, all the drama of life, everything. We just got to leave them at the cross of Calvary. But it's so easy to say that. I can hear you saying that. It's so easy to say that, Ben. But how do I do it?
I believe this is how we do it. We just come through the power of word and say, Jesus, can you take my worries? Please, Lord, will you empty my head? I believe it's through the power of prayer and it's through the power of conversation. So wherever you are, let's
pray. Father, at the name of Jesus. We believe in the book of Philippians 4 6, the Bible says, do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. Father, I bring it to you right now. Lord, I bring my suitcase of yesterday. I bring my suitcases, Lord God, of years gone by. Lord, this rucksack I've got on my back. Lord, it is weighing me down. Lord, I can't get this rucksack off of worry or fear. Lord, it is weighing my walk down. Lord, I'm tired. Lord, it's really digging in my back. Lord, you've got to get this off my back in the name of Jesus. Cut the straps of the rucksack in the name of Jesus. Father, I pray that we won't carry the suitcase of worry, the suitcase of fear, the suitcase of doubt, the insecurities. Lord, the history, the abuse, the worries, the doubts. Father, Lord, will you take it out of our hands? Lord, we know that it's at the cross of Calvary, but Lord, it's my mind. It's my thinking. It's my understanding. Lord, will you recalibrate my mind? And Jesus, at this hour, we believe that the scripture is perfectly aligning for our lives at this moment. The Bible says, do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God. Lord, help me to be more vocal. Help me to speak more to you. Lord, you tell us through Psalms 55, 22, cast all your cares onto Him. He will sustain you.
Oh my good God, Lord, I thank you for that scripture right now because Lord, we need this. Lord, it is early. Lord, we are we are mooching around in the bed. Lord, we can't sleep. Lord, we're up, we're making a cup of tea. Lord, we're drinking coffee at the early hours. And Lord, we're not sleeping correctly. I pray for anyone and whoever and wherever they are, Lord, that you will help them in their sleep pattern. Lord, anyone that's suffering with insomnia, anyone, dear God, that wakes up with the night tremors. Father, right now from here in London, all the way to Canada, Brazil, India, South Africa, Australia, wherever we are around the world, as our racing thoughts start to accelerate. Lord, as we are waking up and we are wide alert. Father, in the name of Jesus, we pray. Jesus, quiet the worry that wakes me in the dark. Holy Spirit, I need you in my life. Holy Spirit, we need you in our lives. Jesus, will you help us to get through this night hour? Lord, will you help us to get through these tremors? Will you help us, dear God, to find a place to settle? Lord, we need peace. We need understanding. Holy Spirit, breathe in our hearts. Lord, awaken our hearts to be Jesus followers. Lord, we want you to be that anchor. Holy Spirit, we call on the greatest name in heaven and
earth. And Father, the battles that we're going through, the outside battles, the family battles, the workplace battles, the school battles, life battles, all the battles, Father God, will you take these battles, these unseen, confused situations that are in our mind? Father, we pray that you will recalibrate us, that you will line us up with the cross of Calvary. Lord, keep us away from church, keep us away from religion. And Lord, just pull us into Jesus. Pull us in to the gospel. Jesus, just get us in the kingdom, Lord, because Lord, we need peace. And right now, wherever we are, from the battlefield to the boardroom, the Spirit of the Lord is over your life. Jesus Christ is your anchor. He is the Lion of Judah. He is yes and amen. Wherever you are, never ever give up. I will catch you at the next prayer. But Jesus, quiet the worry that wakes me in the dark hour. God is with you. Never ever give up. I'll catch you soon. Don't go too far.
