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, please email us to the studio, which is info at dailyprayer.uk. That is info at dailyprayer.uk. Thank you to everybody on RB Christian Radio. Everybody in the archives of these podcasts, please share them out with your prayer groups, your pastors, your church family, your friends, wherever you're from, please share
these prayers out. These are designed, these are crafted together for a quick five minutes, you know, from three and a half minutes to five and a half minutes, something like that. They're commuter prayers, they're late night
prayers. You know, we distribute them right throughout the day at certain times, you know, and uh wherever you are right now, we're gonna jump straight into prayer. And I want to say thank you for staying with us, you know. Thank you for listening and to stay in and to praying. You know, we're on the field of life, we're gonna scrum down together, and whatever the hour is, we are at the 11th hour live here in London, England, and we just gently get closer to the rhythm of midnight. Come on, as worry starts to rise, fear starts to rise, the kids are still running around the house, some are tucked up in bed, we're exhausted, we're pulling our air out. We've had
a long old day today, Jesus, and Lord, I've got to get some sleep. Father, I pray. Jesus, let me lie down in peace. Hold my spirit through the final quiet moments of this day. Lord, there's a lot of noise in my life. Lord, we can't lie down yet because Lord, there's still so much to do in the house. So, Father, I pray that you will bring peace to the mind right now. But Lord, when people and when life suddenly starts to calm, we pray for peace like we've never felt peace before. That we will feel the love of God. And right now, Jesus, let us lie down in peace and hold my spirit through the final moments of this day. Holy Spirit, will you wrap your arms around every listener right now? Lord, you tell us that as we lie down, there will be peace and we lay down in safety. Lord, will you carry the burdens of tomorrow? Will you carry the burdens of now? Will you carry the burdens and lift the burdens off of our shoulder? Lord, will you cut this rucksack off our back? Because Lord, it seems to have just attached itself to me. Lord, we got a rucksack of fear, we got a rucksack of worry, we got a rucksack of doubt. Lord, there's a rucksack on our back, Lord, and I don't like the weight of it. Lord, not only have we got the rucksack, but Lord, we got the luggage in our hands. We got suitcases filled up with stuff. And Lord, at this moment, Lord, I focus on the cross and I say, Lord, get us all to the cross. Lord, let me be a bridge to everybody across the world.
Lord, let me bridge that gap for those that are tired, for those that are weary, from the four corners of the world, from here in live in London, England to Brazil, to Portugal, to Angola, all the way to America, to Israel. Father, bless Iran right now. Lord, we're looking for the power and the love of Jesus Christ. But Lord, we need hope. We need courage. Lord, you've got to be our guiding light. Lord, we're listening to the monitors and the screens right now. Lord, there are wars, rumors of wars. We're watching famines and desolation across the world. But Lord, we need peace. Lord, we don't want to lock into social media. We don't want to lock into what the world is saying. Lord, we don't want to get caught with the rhythm of the political drive. Lord, we don't want to be caught by social media. Lord, we want to walk in the rhythm of God. You are the lion of Judah. And right now, Lord, be at guiding light. Lord, in these moments, dear God, before that 12 a.m. clock starts to tick in our lives, Lord, bring more hope. Bring more courage. Lord, bring more love to
our lives. But Father, we thank you for the love of God that is in our lives. Will you strengthen the listeners? Will you carry them? And Jesus says in Matthew 11 28 Come to me, all of you that are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Sisters and brothers, wherever you are across the world, God is giving you rest. I'll see you very, very soon. Take care.
