Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself Reverend Ben Cooper. We are here in London, England. Wherever you are, good evening, good morning, good afternoon. Whatever the rhythm of the clock is in your life, whatever the time zone is, wherever you are around the world, the love of God is with every one of us, from the studio right around this globe. The love of Jesus is in our heart, our mind, our body, our soul. All things are possible to those who believe.
We're in Psalm 91, and this is the title from verse 11: Jesus, Hold me in the night and carry what my strength can no longer carry. Yes, Lord. Father, I want to thank you for the rhythm of the word of God. And right now, wherever we are around this world, Holy Spirit, we need you in our hearts, our minds, and our bodies and
our souls. But Lord, as the rhythm of the day comes to a close, Lord, as we are here in London, England at 10 p.m., Lord, we need calm. Lord, we need peace. So Jesus, hold me in the night. Hold me, Lord God. I've got to feel your arms around us. Jesus, we've got to feel the love of God around us. Lord, wrap the word around us. Lord, I pray that you will wrap around everyone that is scared and worried about the war cry around the war room of life. Holy Spirit, carry us, Lord, at this 10 p.m. Holy Spirit, carry us at the early door of the
day. Father, as the sun rises as the sun sets, Lord, as we kick the duvet often as we get out of bed, as we put our clothes on, we put our makeup on, dear God, we put our uniform on. Lord, we comb our hair, Father, in the name of Jesus. If we are, dear God, just getting ready for bed, Lord, we're decanting the house, Spirit of the Living God, whatever rhythm, whatever tribe, whatever language, whatever colour, whatever is going on in our life right now, whatever way we measure life, Spirit of the Living God, you've got to carry these suitcases. Lord, you've got to carry these suitcases. Lord, our strength cannot carry our history anymore. Lord, the abuse, the fear, the worry, the doubt, the uncertainty, the problems at work, the problems in school, the problems in the rhythm of life. Lord, we do not have any more strength. Lord, we've got battle fatigue. We are exhausted. We are weary. But right now, Lord, we thank you that goodness and mercy shall follow each and
every one of us. But Lord, help us to let go of the suitcase of life. Holy Spirit, these suitcases are filled up, dear God, with yesterday. Lord, these suitcases are filled up with two weeks ago, two years ago. Lord, two centuries ago. Lord, we are carrying suitcases. Lord God, that our grip will just will not let go. Lord, will you undo that grip? Lord, will you take the suitcases? Lord, also we have a rucksack on our back that is so heavy. Lord, we are weighed down with the pressure of life. Lord, we can't even get this rucksack off because Lord, we can't even let go of the suitcases. Holy Spirit, will you cut the straps? Holy Spirit, will you cut the straps of this suitcase? Lord, it is filled up with doubt. It is filled up, dear God, with with uncertainties. It is filled up with fear. It is filled up with yesterday. It is filled up with today. Lord, the battle filled of the mind. Father, from the four corners of this world, from London as we reach out to Brazil, Chile, Mexico, Colombia, the United States of America. Lord, we stretch out and we stretch through. And Lord, I call everyone into the arena with me right now. And we say, Jesus, hold me in the night call. Hold me in the night tremor. Hold me, Lord. I'm scared. I'm worried. I'm fearful, dear God, of now. I'm fearful of work. I'm worried about education. Lord, I'm too scared to even lock onto social media. Lord, I don't want to listen to the war cry. Lord, I want to rest in Jesus wherever you are, from the battlefield to the boardroom. May the Spirit of the Lord
carry you. It says in the beautiful, beautiful book of Hebrews, chapter 12. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and the perfecter of your faith. Don't go too far. I'll catch you at the next prayer.
