We're in Psalm 91, verse 2. We're gonna stay here for quite a while in Psalm 91. I feel the Lord is keeping us in Psalm 91, especially when you look at the news, the weather, everything that's going on. But let's be in prayer without further
ado. This is the title, Jesus. Be my refuge in the hours when fear speaks loudest, and my heart reaches for your strength. Jesus, be my refuge in the hours when fear speaks loudest, and my heart reaches for your strength. Lord, my heart is reaching for your strength. Lord, my heart is stretching out to you now. Lord, I need you in my life. Holy Spirit, I come to you right now. Father, in the name of Jesus Christ, I look to you. I look to the cross of Calvary and I speak, dear God, from my heart. And Lord, my heart is stretching through the skin. My heart, dear God, is leaning to the cross of Calvary. And Lord, I pray that wherever we are right now, Jesus, be my refuge in the hours when fear speaks its loudest.
Right now, Lord, at these early doors, father, as we're trying to rest, we're trying to sleep. Lord, we're sleeping, but we're not sleeping. Holy Spirit, I pray that when we pretend to sleep, because I believe many of us do that, Lord, when we pretend to sleep and rest, I pray that we will find fulfillment, that we will feel the love of God, the power of the Holy Spirit. But Lord, we stretch out to you tonight. Lord, that these early doors, Father, as the sun is going to rise in just a few hours here live in London, England, from the four corners
of the world. Father, I pray, Lord God, light right here from live in London, England, all the way to Brazil, Colombia, all the way, dear God, to Angola, Portugal, dear God, Chicago, to the ends of the earth. We pray, Lord, that our hearts will stretch out to you at this hour. Lord, when fear speaks loudest, when fear beats like a drum, when fear, dear God, we feel the fear beating in our throat, dear God, and we're gasping for air and we're tired and we're weary. Holy Spirit, whatever battle we're going through, whatever areas of life, dear God, are pulling us down, we pray that we will rise on wings as of eagles. We pray, dear God, at these early doors right now that the glory of God and the love of Jesus will just rest over our heart. Father, we need the Savior. We need the King of Kings. And Lord, you are that God in the Word of God.
You are that King in the Word of God. You are the Holy Spirit in that word. And Lord, we need breakthrough. Lord, we need physical breakthrough. We need mental breakthrough, dear God. We need spiritual breakthrough in our lives. Holy Spirit, I pray for those where their hearts are really beating. I pray that you will be our refuge and our strength. And I thank you for Psalm 91, verse 2. Lord, as we go through the battles, I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge, my fortress, my God in whom I trust.
Father, I pray at this early hour, Father, before we kick the duvet off, from the battlefields to the boardroom, Holy Spirit, just draw us. Just draw us, Lord, because our heart, dear God, is crying. Our heart is reaching out right now. Lord, we're scared, we're worried, but Lord, we're not going to allow our emotions to dictate to us. Lord, we're going to rise now. Lord, we're going to rise, dear God, and we're going to say, Jesus, bring peace to every heart, dear God. Bring peace to every life right now. May the Spirit of the Lord carry you to that place of
rest. Jesus Christ is in your life. Never give up. Don't go too far. I will see you in two.
