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 a prayer request, you can email us to the studio, which is info at dailyprayer.uk. God bless you wherever you are.
It is the 11th hour. We are creeping up. We're one hour away from that time, that midnight hours. We lock into prayer together wherever you are across the world. We're prying for you and you're praying for us. We're all tired, we're all weary. You know, we're pushing out of February, we're getting closer to the end of February, wherever you are across the world. Come on, are you tired? I'm tired. Are you weary? I'm weary. How's your voice? How's your life? How are you feeling? Whatever is going on. I thank God that you stay with us in this studio. You know, we are just human beings just praying. We're pressing through the valley of the shadow of death, and we're in Psalm 23, verse 4. And I thank God for every one of you wherever you are right now. I can't see you, I can't hear you, but God is with you. God will never leave you nor forsake you. Thank you for the beautiful emails that come in. Thank you for the messages. Thank you for your prayers. Thank you that we are locking shields of faith. Come on, we're gonna carry each other because we are in a situation in the world. You know, we're looking at the news, we're seeing things coming out, and it is it is so shocking. It's beyond human belief. It is beyond that, it is rocking this world. What we're seeing coming out of almost every nation. We're watching news channels, we're listening to that and that, but we can't indulge and we cannot get into the rhythm of what's going
on. You know, I'm chomping into this prayer time, but now I'm gonna stop rambling and we're gonna pray. We are praying out of Psalm 23, verse 4. Jesus, stay close. Jesus, stay close in these last moments of this day and lead me by your spirit into a safe place. Holy Spirit, lead me by your spirit. Jesus, lead me by your word. God, lead me by your presence. Father, I pray for all the listeners, wherever they are, from Brazil to Portugal, from Portugal to Angola, to Israel, to France, back to London. Father, whatever nation, whatever rhythm, whatever time zone it is right now, Lord, we're tired. We're weary, it's been a long day, it's been a long week. Father, as we are creeping out of February, Holy Spirit, I pray that you will lead us in paths of righteousness. Lord, you tell us in the beautiful book of Psalms 23, verse 4, even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. Lord, your promise is telling us through prayer right now, as we are all in agreement, we're in agreement with the word of God. Lord, you're telling us that even though we walk through the darkest rhythms of life, even though we go through the darkest trials and traumas and situations, even though we go through the darkest valleys, we will fear no evil because you're
with us. But Lord, I want to let you into a little secret, Jesus. Lord, I know you're with us, I know you're walking with us, your word is within, and the kingdom of God is within. But Lord, I'm still a human being, and Lord, I still get scared. Lord, I still worry, I still panic, I still sweat in situations. Holy Spirit, I ask you that you will help me to walk through the valley and not be fearful. I ask you to help me to walk through the corridor of life and not to be scared. I ask you, dear God, for me and for every one of us to be bold and to be strong. And we will, dear God, hold on to what you said to Joshua and Caleb and be strong and courageous. Do not let this book of the Lord depart from one's mouth. Meditate on it day and night. Then you will be successful and prosperous. Father, I pray that as we walk through the darkest situations of life, through the valley, through the trials, Holy Spirit, whatever nation, whatever tribe, Lord, we want to hear the rhythm of the Lion of Judah. Lord, we need the comfort of God because Lord, I'm gonna keep letting you into a little secret, Jesus. I am a human being, I do have emotions, Lord. I am not completely faithful to your word. I am not completely, dear God, hitting the rhythms that we should hit. Because, Lord, we are human, and Lord, I thank you that it is by grace we have been saved. So, Lord, when fear comes in and I get scared, help me. When, dear God, I make wrong lifestyle decisions, help me, bring me, reback me, and recalibrate
me. Holy Spirit, wherever we are, let us realize, dear God, at four minutes past eleven, live here in London, England, on Friday, the 27th of February, Spirit of the Living God, carry us at this hour. But Father, I thank you for all the listeners, wherever they are, whatever the rhythm, from the trials to the tribulations, to the battles, to the mountain experiences, Lord, to the joy, to the love, to the failings, to the victories, to the battlefields, to every scenario. Strengthen us, carry us, pick us up, Jesus. Even though we walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me. May God bless you and carry you. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. I will catch you in about 54 minutes. God bless.
