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, you can email us to the studio, which is info at dailyprayer.uk. Thank you for your support. For everybody that listens and uh is sharing all this stuff out.
Please share it out across your churches, your platforms, your family, your friends, whoever you are, wherever you are, whatever cult you're in, never give up, whatever tribe you come from, never give up.
Whatever postcode, whatever rhythm, however we label ourselves, whatever it may be, one thing is for sure, we belong to Jesus Christ. We are grafted into the vine.
And we're gonna pray today, Jesus, give me courage to face what is in front of me. Coming out of the book of Joshua, chapter 1, verse 9, near God in the name of Jesus, Lord, you tell us that have I not commanded you, be strong. Have I not commanded you be strong and courageous? Do not be afraid, do not be discouraged, for the Lord thy God goes with you wherever
you go. The spirit of the Lord is with you, right here, live in London, England, on this studio table, on this radio table in this studio, right here in Live London, England, all the way to Kenya, from Kenya to Portugal, from Portugal to America, Sri Lanka and Brazil. The Spirit of the Lord is with you wherever you sit, wherever you reside, wherever you work, from the battlefields to the trenches of life. The Spirit of God is
with you. Come on, let's let's hold it together. Let's lock shields of faith. Let's speak over our situations. Let's speak the word of God. The Bible says, Be strong and courageous. The Bible also says, You have not because you have asked not. Father, I thank you that I am healed. I thank you, Lord, that I am blessed. I thank you, dear God, that all of my life is in the palm of your hand. Lord, you know my yes, you know my amen. Lord, you know my coming and my going. Lord, you know when the sun rises and when the sun sets. You are the creator of all things. And Lord, we want to hear the line of Judah. Lord, my voice is sore, but Lord, I believe in miracles. Lord, our bones are aching, but we believe in miracles. Lord, we might be going through life-limiting illnesses, but Lord, we believe in miracles. And I pray for everyone under the sound of my voice right now that we will never be afraid, that we won't be discouraged.
Whatever comes down the front door of our life, Lord, whatever comes down the corridor of our life, Lord, whatever comes to any situation that we're walking in, Father, we are not going to engage in the warfare of the world. Lord, we're going to rise up on wings as of eagles. Lord, we're going to soar high. Lord, we're going to get above the cloud line of trouble. We're not going to allow trouble to control us. We're not going to allow social media to dictate to us. We're not going to allow the church and religion. Lord, we're not going to let pastors and denominations rule over our lives because we belong to the kingdom of God. And Lord, we thank you that we will find courage in the Word of God. Lord, I thank you, dear God, that the Word of God is yes and amen. Your word is a lamp unto our feet, a light
for our path. And right now, wherever we are across this world, we believe that John 14, verse 1 is for you and for me. Do not let your hearts be troubled. Believe in God and also believe in me. Father, we need the word. Lord, you are telling us all the way through this prayer line, all the way through this daily devotional Lord, years in, years out. When the first sun rose to the when the first sun will ever set on this world, Lord, you tell us to get in the word
of God. You told Joshua, do not let this book of the Lord depart from one's mouth. Meditate on it day and night. Father, where the word of God is in our spirit. So Lord, we pray, Lord, that we will turn the word from our heart right away up, dear God, and out of our mouth shall flow rivers of living water. So Lord, we declare healing. We declare the word of God. We declare freedom over each and every one's life today. Lord, we thank you that fear is gone, doubt is gone, worry is gone. Lord, we believe in the fire of God. We want to hear the lion of Judah. Lord, we're not going to listen, dear God, to the bear that is rattling down
the road. We're not going to listen to the rattlesnakes of life. We're not going to listen, dear God, to the pots and pans banging in our head. Lord, we're not going to listen to the drumbeat of the devil. Lord, we're not going to walk according to number 10 Downing Street. We're not going to live in the political
realms. We're going to live in the freedom of God. And Lord, we thank you that we do not belong and we are not grafted in to whatever the world is doing, that we belong to Jesus Christ. That the Spirit of the Lord is over our lives. Lord, we declare that we are walking in freedom
from the battlefield to the boardroom. From the boardroom to the field of life, from the field of life to the school run. From the school run to the coffee run, from the coffee run to the scaffold to the desk to the retail. Whatever area we work in, whatever life looks like in our eyes, Father, we believe that we are grafted into the
vine. And Lord, we're going to be strong. We're going to be courageous because this is the day that the Lord has made.
