Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself Reverend Ben Cooper. We are live here in London, England, and we are gathering for what? What we're gathering for? We're gathering for faith. We're gathering for prayer. We're gathering for hope. Good morning, good evening, good afternoon. It doesn't matter when you listen to the sound of my voice. It doesn't matter when you click in and you listen to this prayer time because prayer is whenever we want to pray and whenever we need to pray. But everybody on RB Christian Radio, the Spirit of God is with you.
Everybody that is sowing a prayer into this ministry, thank God for your life. Everybody that is buying us a coffee, thank God for you too. Just for three pounds a month. Very simple and very easy on that buy us a coffee app. And everybody that is listening to the archives of these podcasts, these prayers, the church services go right the way back through the back library. There is so much stuff to listen to. I've got to tell you right now, the Lord God is with you wherever you go.
We are in Proverbs 3, verses 5 through to 6. This is the title of this prayer. Jesus, guard my mind this morning. Jesus, guard my mind this morning and straighten the path I cannot
see. Father, I thank you that we live by faith. And Lord, I've lived 99.5% of my life by sight. And Lord, I cannot live my life anymore by sight. Because what I see on the news channels, what I see on social media, what I see in the ivory towers, what I see on the roads, Lord, what I see in life, Father God, I cannot live by the way of the world. I cannot live by materialism. Because Lord, when I realize that there is war on the table, the car don't matter, dear God, the career doesn't matter, the mortgage doesn't matter, life itself doesn't matter. Lord, when we hear the sound of war around the
world, suddenly we look within ourselves and I say, Jesus, Holy Spirit, where do I go, dear God, when this earth soup drops to the floor? Father, what is the next step beyond the human eye? So right now, Lord, from the four corners of the world, Holy Spirit, we thank you, whatever colour, whatever tribe, whatever language, wherever we are, whatever age we are, Lord, we believe that we are Bible-believing believers, that we are grafted into the vine, that the Spirit of God is over our lives. But Jesus, guard my mind. Lord, guard my mind this morning because my mind is locked onto social media. My mind is locked onto work pressure. My mind is locked onto relationship issues. Lord, my mind is locked onto money. My mind is locked onto the shipping lanes, the worry. Are we gonna get food? Are we gonna get this? Are we gonna get that? Lord, my mind is locked onto war. My mind is locked onto the weaponry that we have that we don't have. Lord, my mind is locked onto the what's, the ifs, and the buts and the possibilities and the maybes. But
Lord, I don't want my mind to be locked onto anything. Lord, I want my spirit, Lord, I want my heart to be locked onto Jesus. Because Lord, you tell me through the beautiful book of Hebrews 12, keep your eyes on Jesus, the author, the perfecter of our faith. Lord, when I look to Jesus, when I look into the word, when I look at that cross in this studio, Father, when I take my eyes off these screens and I look at that cross, Lord, when I look at that cross, Father, everything melts away because I suddenly realize who our king is. Lord, you are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And from the four corners of this world, from here, London to Brazil, all the way to Portugal, all the way, dear God, to Mumbai and Chile, all the way to France, dear God, in Cuba. Lord, we're praying, Lord, that the love of God will be
over our lives. Father, as we've just taken the kids to school. Now, Lord, we're putting the washing machine on. Lord, we got the tumble dry spinning, Lord, we got the washing on the line, we're hovering, we're cooking. Lord, we are in the gym, we're on the golf course, we're at work, we're in the rhythm of life. Father, we got dress ready for what the day brings. But Spirit of the Living God, from the battlefield to the boardroom, to the field of life, to the shopping trolley, from the barbers, dear God, to every scenario under the sun. Lord, we are praying that we won't fix our gaze and our mind on the way of the world, but we will fix our eyes on the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Spirit of the living God, I pray right now that the love of Jesus, the power of the Holy Spirit, will be over
our lives. Father, I want to lean into Proverbs 3. Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways, in all your ways, submit to him, and he will make your path straight. Yes, Lord, help me to submit everything to you. It is simple, it is clear. Father, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the Passover table. Spirit of the living God, I thank you for every listener right now. And Lord, I pray that we will keep our eyes on
Jesus. Don't go too far. I'll catch you at the next prayer.
