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, email us to info at dailyprayer.uk. I will repeat that info at dailyprayer.uk.
Sisters and brothers, wherever you are dotted across this beautiful world, the love of God, the power of God, the fragrance of heaven, the beauty, the majesty, grace, favor is over your life. He is carrying the weight of every situation. We got to be bold and we got to be strong. We've got to be braggadocious. We got to get out of church. We got to get out of the religion of just Sunday mornings and we got to be Bible-believing believers. We got to get in the rhythm of Word. Get yourself a Bible. If you need a Bible, hit us up in the studio, in the email account, and we will get you a Bible to your front door in the name of Jesus
Christ. Wherever you are, we're going to pray and we're going to believe for miracles. But don't ever give up. Come on, let's kick the duvet off wherever the sun is rising on your life, wherever the sun is setting from the battlefields to the boardrooms. Jesus, what we're praying today, Jesus, heal my burdens that weigh on my heart. Oh, yes, Lord. Come on. There is victory in the name of Jesus. Do you realize that God is with you? Do you realize that the power of the Holy Spirit is in your life? You've been searching for all your life. You've been in church, out of church. You've been this way, that way. We've been doing everything. And Jesus has just been going, it's this way, Sonny. It's this way, Ben. Come on. Come on. Just come and follow
me. That's all he said to the disciples at the shoreline of Galilee. He said, Drop your nets, come and follow me. He didn't say, drop your nets, get yourself to church. He didn't say drop your nets, get yourself to church on Sunday morning. He said, Drop your nets, come and be a Jesus follower. That is the key. Follow Jesus. But how Rev, we're in prayer, by the way. How do I follow this Jesus? I read the word of God. He is the first and he is the last. Father, right now, Jesus, heal all of our burdens that are weighing on our heart. Jesus, you are the first and you are the last. I thank you for everyone that is listening to my voice. Wherever they are across the world, whatever their rhythm is, Lord, I pray right now that they will feel the love of God
and the power of the Holy Spirit. Lord, I pray that you will lift all the weights, all the burdens, all the worries, all the fears, the hidden pains, the quiet worry that we carry. Lord, I pray that we will feel the gentleness and the beauty of the Holy Spirit. Lift the emotional strain right now. Lord, the midday heaviness. Father, wherever we are, from the battlefields to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the school run, from the school run to the field of life, wherever we are, dear God, walking the dogs, Father, taking the kids to school. Lord, picking people up from the station. Whatever we are doing in the gym, cutting the grass. Lord, if we're a homemaker, bless us, Lord, fill us with your glory. But right now, lift the burden. Holy Spirit, lift this burden. Lord, we believe that the battle belongs to the Lord. And Father, many of us that are in war zones at this moment in time, many of us are carrying such mental weight at this moment. Many of us are carrying burdens, dear God, that we shouldn't be carrying. Lord, lighten this load. Holy Spirit, take the rucksack off our back. Lord, it feels like, dear God, we're weighed down. We're heavily
laden. Hang on a minute. That reminds me, Jesus says, Come to me, all of you that are weary and heavily laden, I will give you rest. God, I gotta get to Jesus. God, I gotta get to you. Lord, I want to be just like Jacob. I want to be like Jacob in the Old Testament. That he had to get to God. And Jacob, he wrestled with God until God pushed him and knocked him on the hip. You know what I mean? Read that story about Jacob. Jacob was holding on to God, and God had to push him and touch his hip, and God gave him an infirmity. Oh my god, you've got to read that right now in the name of Jesus. Lord, I want to be like Jacob. Lord, when Jacob left the presence of God and he wrestled with God, God struck his hip and he walked with a limp. Holy Spirit, I want to be in your presence. I'm not quite sure about striking my hip in the name of Jesus. But Lord, I understand what that scripture means. That when he walked into the arena and he got hold of God, when he left the presence of God, his walk was different. Holy Spirit, when Jacob went into the arena with God and he came out of the arena with God, he walked different. Father, I want to walk different. I want to walk in beauty. I want to walk in your majesty. I want to walk in kindness. I want to walk in the likeness of the Holy Spirit. Lord, we want to walk different. Lord, we want to talk different. Lord, we want to be different. We want to let our light shine. But right now, Jesus, heal the burden, the weight that is on our mind, the weight that is over our hearts, Spirit of the living God carry us today.
Let the glory, let the power, let the love of Jesus Christ wherever you are, from the battlefield to the board, from London to Italy, Jamaica, Sweden, Japan. The glory of God is over your life. I'll catch you soon. God bless.
