Welcome
to Daily Prayer with myself Reverend Van 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, please email us at the studio, which is info at dailyprayer.uk. And also please remind yourself that if you need us to reply to your email, can you please make sure that there is a way that we can get back to you? Depends how you send those emails in. Sometimes it hides and it hides itself in a little cupboard and we
can't find it. So may the spirit of the Lord be with you wherever you are. Thank you to everybody on RB Christian Radio, and thank you to everybody that is downloading all these prayers, all these podcasts go right the way back through the archives. There is so much there. And thank you for staying with me over the last three days. My voice, my vocabulary, my pronunciation has been absolutely shocking. But the spirit of the Lord is with each and every one of us. Let's never ever give up. Come on, let's pray.
What we're praying at the 11th hour, live here in London, England. It is 11 p.m. It is just crossing past that time right now. We are in Psalm 23, verse 6, and this is what we've been praying all day, and this is what we will continue to pray and keep this rhythm going. You know, the book of Psalms is beautiful. We're in Psalms 23, verse 6. Jesus, carry me in tomorrow. Carry me into tomorrow. Father, I thank you. Right here, live in London, England, all the way to India, Brazil, South Africa, and Portugal. Lord, we thank you that the love of God never ceases. But dear God, I pray that Psalm 23, verse 6 will sit in our spirit. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Lord, I thank you for the gentleness,
the shepherding of Psalm 23. And Lord, I also thank you for the protection of Psalm 91, verse 11. For he will command his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways. Lord, I thank you that you love us. And wherever we are at this final hour, Lord, dear God, this final hour of today. Lord, will you strengthen us? Will you bring calm to our mind? Lord, all the battles we've had today, Lord, the inner battles, the outward battles, all the stuff on social media, all the texts, all the emails, will you remove them from our memory? Will you get them out of the skin that we walk in? Lord, all the troubles at work, dear God, all the situations on the road,
the traffic jams, just life. Lord, will you declutter our mind? Holy Spirit, we need to be decluttered. Our mind, Lord, is filled up with stuff. It is filled up with the stuff of yesterday, today. It is filled up with stuff for tomorrow. And Lord, we're not even in tomorrow. And Lord, we're filling our minds up. So Lord, I pray that you will help us to get to the cross. And Lord, as we pray, dear God, I ask you, God, that you will take off the rucksack of life. Lord, we can't undo these straps. So Lord, if we can't undo the straps, Lord, of this rucksack that is weighing us down with worry, with fear, with doubt, with emails, with text. Lord, this rucksack is just filled up with the trouble of today. This rucksack is just filled up with yesterday. It's filled up with last year's stuff. It's filled up with everything. Holy Spirit, we can't seem to get this bag off our back. So Lord, it
is weighing us down. And right now, Lord, at this hour, Lord, will you get a pair of scissors out of the heavenly realms and just cut the straps? Because Lord, we can't seem to get the rucksack of yesterday gone from our mind. Lord, our mind is holding on. Lord, I pray that you will empty our mind, Lord God, whatever has gone on in our lives, whatever we've gone through, Lord. I pray that we won't take it, Lord, any further into our tomorrow. Lord, we want to hear the whisper, the whisper of the Holy Spirit. Lord, we want to fill your leading. Lord, I want you to take the suitcases of life. I want you to take this rucksack, Lord, the mental health issues, the stuff that is just rattling around in our brain. Lord, I pray that you will take all that stuff away. But Lord, hold us close tonight. Jesus, hold us close at this hour. Wherever we are, we thank you for Psalm 91 because you have commanded angels concerning our lives to guard us in all of our ways. Father, we thank you that your love, dear God, is never ending. Your presence is never ended, that we're grafted into the vine and all things are possible to those who believe. So, Father, from here live in London, England, to India, Brazil, South Africa, Portugal, to the battles to the field of life, from the field of life to the skyscrapers of life, to the ivory towers, to the commute of life, dear God, to the tube, to the bus, to the school run. Wherever we are, Father, guide us and protect us. But Lord, we want the rucksack gone, we want the suitcases gone, and we want freedom. Will you bring freedom right now in Jesus' name? Holy Spirit, wherever the listeners are, whatever their time zone is, whatever they are going through, I pray that the love of God will declutter your mind at this hour. The Spirit of the Lord is with you. You are born again. You are a person that follows Jesus. You are not a churchgoer, and God is in your life. Don't ever, ever give up. Jesus Christ loves you. I will catch you soon.
Thanks for staying with us with these croaky voices, with all this pronunciation stuff, all this vocabulary issues that I've had with this sore voice. But the name of Jesus is a strong tower. Come on, let's get into Jesus. I'll catch you soon.
