Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes of faith, love, hope, and strength. If you've got a prayer request, please email us to the studio, which is info at dailyprayer.uk. Wherever you are dotted across this world, whatever your time zone is, whatever your life is reflecting at the 12 a.m. prayer time together. We are live here in London, England, and I pray that the love of God will just carry you away. The presence of the Holy Spirit will just be with you. What has your day been like? What has your life been reflecting? We're gonna pray
this. And the title of this prayer is coming out of the Gospel of Matthew 11, 28. And the title is very simple Jesus, bring rest to my heart when the night feels heavy. Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray for everyone that is with me now that's had a long day, a long life, a long hour. Lord, that has had a stressful day today, at work, at home, wherever we, dear God, have been pressing across this world. I pray that the love of God and the presence of the Holy Spirit, Lord, lift our burdens, Lord. Father, I pray for anyone that feels really heavily laden at this moment in time, really weary, anyone going through bereavement, anyone going through loss, anyone, dear God, that is just recovering from an operation, anyone that is recovering, dear God, from a relational ship breakdown, whatever, dear God, the recovery is and wherever it has come from, I pray, Lord God, that we will walk to you. Lord, and we will just open up the word of God. And Father, I pray that the word will come alive in our spirit. You are calling us through the beautiful book of Matthew 11, 28.
Come to me, all of you that are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Father, at this hour, right now, live here in London, England, Father, we pray from London to Kenya, Germany, the Philippines, South Korea, Israel, America. We pray that the love of God will be over each and every one of us. Father, we pray for those that live in hard areas, those, dear God, that live in very difficult suburbs, those, dear God, that are got difficult things going on in their lives, those, dear God, that just feel the pressure, dear God, on the outside world in which they live. Lord, we're praying for breakthrough. Lord, we need breakthrough in our lives, Lord, in the corporate world that we work, Lord, in school, in life, in family and friends, Lord, whatever battles we're going through at this moment, Lord, will you erase? Will you erase yesterday, the day before, the week before, the six months, the year, Lord? Will you go back and just erase that?
Lord, we know that it has been now to the cross of Calvary, but right now, Lord Jesus, bring rest to my heart when I feel this night feeling, the heaviness, the hour, the midnight hour, Lord, the rise of anxiety, the rise of fear, the rise, dear God, as the heart starts to beat. Lord, as we just rest, dear God, in this scripture, in this time together, Lord, I thank you. There is power in the word of God, and you are calling us. Come to me, all of you that are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Lord, teach me, show me how to get to you through prayer, through scripture. Show me, Lord, through this prayer time, as I gather with my brothers and sisters across
the world. Lord, as we battle the gliaths of life, Father, as we battle the storms of life, Father, we pray in the name of Jesus that the Holy Spirit will bring peace to our lives, comfort to our thought pattern. Lord, wherever we are across this world, from the battlefields of life to the storms, to the midnight hours, Holy Spirit, will you just carry us right now? Lord, you are a good God. All things are possible to those who believe. And right now, Lord, we are believing. Jesus, bring rest to my heart when the night feeling gets heavy. Bring rest to our heart, Lord. Draw us close to you. Lord, I pray that we will open up the word of God. Father, and we will read the beautiful book of Psalms and we will find rest and comfort in the scripture. So, Lord, I pray wherever the listeners are across the world, bless them from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. Let
the love of God be over their lives. Lord, just carry them through this midnight hour. May the Spirit of the Lord carry you through any storm, any worries, any fears. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper, and I will catch you at the next prayer. Don't go too far.
