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 and hope and strength. Wherever you are gathering, whatever the rhythm, whatever the tribe, whatever the language, wherever you live, whatever you are doing right now, are you laying on your bed? Are you sitting on the sofa? Are you driving? Are you stuck in that dreaded traffic jam? Whatever the rhythm is, it is 11 p.m. live here in London, England. You might be on a school run on the other side of the world, God bless you. You might be on a coffee run. You might be stuck in McDonald's queue, getting yourself a cheeky little breakfast. Wherever you are, the glory, the power, the love of God is over your life. You might be literally exhausted at the 11 o'clock hour live here in London,
England. We are in Psalm 23. We're going to finish this cycle off as we get close to 12 o'clock and we start again. We are praying out of Psalm 23, verse 4. And the title is Jesus, walk beside me. Jesus, walk beside me in the valley and lift my spirit into the light of tomorrow. Holy Spirit, will you walk with me? Holy Spirit, will you guide me? Holy Spirit, will you lead me? Father, we thank you for the prayers of David. We thank you, dear God, for the psalmist. We thank you, dear God, for Psalm 23, verse 4. Even though I walk
through the darkest valley, you are with me. Wherever we walk, whatever corridor, whatever rhythm, whatever tribe, whatever language, whatever four corners of the world we come from, Lord, I pray, dear God, that we will be braggadocious about Jesus. Lord, we won't worry about the rhythm of the world. We won't get caught in the rhythm of social media. We won't listen to what the world is saying. But dear God, that we will get ourselves a Bible. We will open up the word of God and we will read Psalm 91, Psalm 23. Lord, we're getting the Gospel of John. Father, we'll read from Matthew chapter 6, the Lord's Prayer. Father, I pray that we will get hold of the Lord's Prayer and the rhythm of the Lord's Prayer. Father, that prayer, our Father in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Holy Spirit, I thank you that your kingdom come, your will be done, dear God, as it is in heaven, here as it is
on this earth. Father, I pray, dear God, that your love, your mercy, your saving grace, from the four corners of the world to the battles of life, Father, we got fatigue, we're tired. Lord, within these inner inner shadows, sorry, within these inner shadows in our lives, Father, these areas, these gray areas of our lives, Lord, the pots and pans, the drumbeat, dear God, the kitchen noise, the rattle, the steam, the noise, Father God, the coffee machine making a noise, the pots and pans making a noise, the drumbeat of life making a noise, the rhythm of political drive, Lord, the rhythm of social media, the rhythm of the world. Lord, everything is noisy, and Lord, we need peace. Lord, we need peace. So, Father, I pray as we walk through the valley today, as we walk through the valley this morning, as we walk through the valley, dear God, at 11 p.m., three minutes past 11 on this hour. Father, we're asking that the love of God and from the four corners of the world, let the Spirit of the Lord be with us today, Jesus. Lord, we're tired. We got battle fatigue. Lord, we need divine hope. Lord, we
need our light, dear God, to be lit up. Lord, we want that fire of God. We want to hear the lion or the lion roaring of the Lion of Judah. Lord, we want to get into the rhythm of Scripture. Lord, it is the word that we want to live by. Lord, we don't want to conform to the pattern of the world. Lord, as we walk through the darkest valley of our lives, Father, as we got the biggest battles in front of us. Lord, as we, dear God, as the enemy seems to think that he's got us on the ropes. Father, we are never on the ropes. Lord, we're always above and not beneath. Lord, we're the head and not the towel. Father, we thank you that the devil is under our feet in the name of Jesus. We thank you that the word of God, Lord, is keeping us sharper. Your word is sharper than a double-edged sword. And Father, I pray that we will get dressed in the battle armory. Lord, that we will get dressed in Ephesians chapter 6. Lord, that we'll put the helmet of salvation, the sword of the spirit, the breastplate of righteousness. Lord, our feet are fitted with the gospel of peace. Lord, we got the buckle of truth around our waist. Lord, we are ready. We are ready, God. But right
now, we thank you that the battle belongs to the Lord. But Lord, we're dressed. Lord, we're in the valley and we're dressed. Lord, we're laying in bed and we're dressed. We're ready for what the enemy might drill us tonight, Lord. We're ready, dear God, what might come down the track of life at school today, at work today, at home today. Lord, we are dressed. We are ready. Holy Spirit, I pray right now that the love of God, the fire of God, the anointing of God, Lord, I pray at this hour, Lord, that you will bring peace. So Jesus, walk beside me in the valley and lift my spirit into the light of tomorrow. The Lord Jesus Christ is with you. You are not alone. The fire of God, the love of God, you are anointed, you are born again, you have been chosen, and God is with you. I will catch you soon. Don't ever give up. God bless.
