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, you can email us to the studio, which is info at dailyprayer.uk.
And what we're praying for, whatever your day has been like, whatever you are looking at, we are gonna lock shields together, we are gonna get down on the field of life, we're gonna scrum down together, we're gonna get over uh the triline of life, and we're gonna press together, we're gonna walk together, we're gonna run together, we might even be crying together, laughing together, whatever we are doing, the Spirit of the Lord is over our lives, and we are gonna pray, Jesus, steady my evening when I feel overwhelmed. Jesus, steady my evening when I feel overwhelmed.
Father, as the sun sets, as the sun rises on our lives, Father, wherever we are, whoever we are, whatever we look like, Father, I pray for the rhythm of God will grab us. I pray right now, Lord, that we won't listen to the rhythm of social media. We won't listen to the rhythm of church, we won't listen to the rhythm, dear God, of religion barking away. We won't listen to the rhythm, dear God, of those spiritual leaders that are trying to manipulate us. We won't listen to the rhythm of the political world. We won't listen to the rhythm, dear God, of what the world is doing. But Lord, steady our evening when I feel overwhelmed by the trials and the tribulations of the world. And Lord, I want to walk in freedom. We want to walk in freedom. We want to walk, dear God, in the power of God. And I believe in John 16, verse 33. In this world you will have trouble, but take heart. I have overcome the world. Father, we thank God that you have overcome the world, that the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords is
in our lives. And right now, wherever we are, we're praying for the fire. We're praying for the love of God. Lord, we want to feel the latter-day rain. We want to, dear God, be soaked in the love of Jesus. Lord, all the rain that we're seeing here in England, in the UK, Father, we want it to rain, dear God, over our lives spiritually. Lord, we want that rain, dear God, to be the beauty of God. We want that rain, dear God, to be the latter-day rain. Lord, will you soak us, dear God? Lord, we want to be like that sponge that soaks up, dear God, the way of the God that we serve. Holy Spirit, wherever we are right now, you tell us through the beautiful book of John 16, 33, in this world you will have trouble, but take heart. I have overcome the world. You have overcome the
world. And right now, Lord, we're going to get up, we're going to walk, we're going to be bold, we're going to be strong. And whatever the hour is, whatever the time zone is, whatever our culture, whatever land we live in, from London all the way to Canada, from Canada, India, from India to Argentina, from Argentina all the way to Cape Verde. We believe in the power of God. Miracles and miracles and miracles are happening right now. Lord, keep us close. Keep us close, dear God, to the Spirit. Keep us close to the Word. Keep us close to the Holy God that we serve. Father, we want to hear the line of Judah. Lord, we don't want to bounce on the trampoline of monotony. Lord, we don't want to walk down a corridor of boredom. We don't want to walk down a corridor, dear God, of monotony. We don't want to walk down a corridor of unforgiveness, of doubt, of fear. Lord, we want to walk, dear God, down a corridor of freedom. And Lord, you tell us who the Sun sets free is free indeed. And through the beautiful book of Joshua, chapter 1, verse 9, be strong and courageous. Do not be dismayed. For the Lord thy God will be with you wherever you go. The God that we serve, the God that created the birds, the God that created the bees, the animals, the sun, the sea, the stars, the universe, the God that said, Let there be light. He's walking down the corridor of life with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. We are not orphans, we are grafted in. We belong to God. You are grafted into the kingdom of God, and the Holy Spirit is with you down the corridor of
life. We're tired of work, we're bored of life, we're fed up, we're frustrated. We're working harder than we've ever worked before. Money's not going nowhere. We got trouble and drama from the battlefield to the boardroom. From the boardroom to the Passover table, from the Passover table to the gym, from the gym to the Hoover, from the Hoover to the washing machine, the tumble dryer, dear God, to driving the van, driving the car, taking the kids to school, whatever we are doing. Father, I pray right now for the homemakers. I pray for everyone, dear God, that is a homemaker. That the love of God, dear God, let them know that they got a special gift for looking after themselves, the family, the tribe, the tongue, whoever is around their lives, Spirit of the Living God. I pray that you will bless every one of us, dear God, from the shopping trolley to the Passover
table. The Spirit of the Lord is with every one of us. I will catch you soon. Don't ever give up. God is with you.
