Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper. Wherever you are in the world, thank you for making daily prayer part of your life and part of your day. We're on a journey. We're going to stay connected and we're going to pray together. If you've got a prayer request, please hit us up in the studio, which is Daily Prayer. You know, so simple. Info at dailyprayer.uk. Wherever you are, let the love of God, let the power of God just carry you through these early
doors. Father, we come to you right now, Lord, and we pray out of Joshua chapter 1, verse 9. And the title is Jesus. Make me strong and give me courage today. Holy Spirit, make me strong and give me courage today. Lord, we need courage for today. Lord, as we're going to get ready, Lord, as we're going to hit the alarm clock very soon. Father, we are starting to feel the rhythm of these early hours. Lord, I pray for those that are worried right now, those that are scared right now, that your love and your mercy, but Jesus, make us strong. Lord, give us courage for day. Lord, for those that are going to kick the duvet off very soon. Lord, as the sun is going to come through the studio window soon. Lord, as the sun, dear God, as we pull back the curtains of life, Father God, as the sun will come in soon, Father, we pray that the love of God and the Spirit of God and the leading of God will be over our lives. But Jesus, when fear tries to hold us back, give us courage. Lord, we pray that fear won't try and hold
us back. Lord, that the steps of a good person are ordered by the Lord. And Father, I pray when we come up against challenges, Goliaths, dear God, when we come up against the river Jordans of life, Lord, when we come up to the Red Seas of life, Lord, we thank you that you parted the River Jordan. Lord, you parted the Red Sea. Father, when we come up to the Goliath, Father, we pray that we will listen to instruction, Lord, and as we come to the Goliath, Lord, as we come to the walls of Jericho, Lord, whatever we face in life, Lord, I pray that the Holy Spirit will lead us from the four corners of this world to every scenario. Father, as the sun is going to rise, as the rain falls, as the sun shines, Lord, as the snow drops to this earth. Lord, you are creator of heaven and earth. And Jesus, make us strong and give us courage today. Lord, I pray that we will walk in holy boldness. Lord, that we will walk in the righteousness of God. But right now, Lord, Father, I pray as we get ready for the rhythm of today. Lord, I pray as we kick the duvet off. Lord, that you'll give us boldness and we will have courage from the four corners of this world. Lord, as we stretch out, Lord, as we broadcast across the world, from London to Brazil, Chile, Peru, Spain, the Philippines, and India, Lord, and many other nations, we bring every listener to the cross of Calvary. And Lord, I pray that you will give us strength, and dear God, that you'll give us divine energy today. And Lord, fill us with strength. When we feel weak, make us strong. When we're tired, make us faithful. Lord, I pray that we will feel the love of God and the Spirit of the living God
over us. But right now, Lord, we lean into the beautiful book of Joshua, chapter 1, verse 9. This is what the Bible says about each and every one of us. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged. For the Lord thy God will be with you wherever you go. Sisters and brothers, I invite you to be strong today. Sisters and brothers, I invite you to find that courage through the word of God. The book of Joshua is a beautiful book. Joshua chapter 1, verse 9. Have I not commanded you, be strong and courageous. Father, as we kick the duvet off. Lord, as we go through the valley of the shadow of death, Lord, as we go down the corridor of life, Spirit of the living God, we lock shields today. Father, we thank you that we kick the duvet off. Lord, from the battlefield to the boardroom, to the school run, to the field of life, to the washing machine, dear God, to the journeys that we experience. Lord, we're not going to be afraid. We're not going to be discouraged because the spirit of the Lord is over each and every one of us. Wherever you are across the world, don't you ever give up. I invite you to stay with us. Join us for the next prayer. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. I will catch you at the next prayer. Be strong and courageous. God bless.
