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 the journey of your day. Come on, we're gonna lock in, we're gonna stay connected and we're gonna press through in prayer. Miracles happen, but Jesus, make us strong and give us courage, ready for the day,
Lord. The title of this prayer is coming out of Joshua chapter 1, verse 9, and it is beautiful. It is Jesus. Make me strong, courageous and ready for the day. Holy Spirit, make us strong, courageous and
ready for the day. Father, in the name of Jesus, Lord, as the sun is gonna rise very soon, Lord, as we're getting ready to kick the duvet off. Lord, we are hearing the alarm, dear God, in the last moments of our sleep. Father, the alarm is going on. Lord, we have got to kick the duvet off. Lord, we've got to get our set self ready for work, for life, for the children, for home, Lord, whatever we are doing. But Lord, right now, Jesus, make me strong. Lord, give us courage today. Lord, get us ready for this day. Lord, I thank you that we got strength, we got courage, and we got readiness. Father, you are the Lion of Judah. You are the great I am. And right now we lean into the beautiful book of Joshua, chapter 1, verse 9. 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. Father, I want to tell the world that you are our shepherd. I want to tell you right now that you're telling us to be strong and courageous. Lord, as the alarm is going off, Father, as the sun is going to rise in a couple of hours in London, Father, we pray that the fire and the mercy and the grace of God, Lord, we thank you that we're going to be strong. We're going to be courageous. Lord, we're going to hold on to the word of God right now. And Lord, as we kick the duvet off, Lord, as we get on the bounce, Lord, as we get ready for the rhythm of the day. Father, as we stretch out across this studio, Lord, as we stretch out from London, Lord, I thank you as we broadcast across the world, as we pray together, as we lock
in. Father, I pray as this day begins across Brazil, Colombia, America, Spain, Australia, Ireland. I pray for such an outpouring of your spirit that your saving grace, your mercy will strengthen each and every one of us. Jesus, be the center of our life. Jesus, be the beginning of our day. Jesus, be the middle of our day. Jesus, be the end of our day. Lord, help us to walk forward without fear. Help us to face every scenario under the sun with courage and strength. Lord, I pray as we feel weak that you will strengthen us. Lord, I pray as we feel unsure, you will give us courage. Lord, as we are in this hesitant position, Lord, as hesitation rises, Lord, I pray that you will replace that, Lord God, with confidence in Jesus. I pray that we will have confidence in the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And Father, as we stretch out from the battlefield to the boardroom, to the field of life. Father, as we get dressed. Lord, we put our makeup on. We put our lipstick on. Lord, we put our jeans, our clothes on. Lord, we get ready for the day. Father, we are ready in the name of Jesus. And right now, as the sun is going to rise on today, Lord, we believe that we are blessed and highly favored, wonderfully and fearfully made. Lord, we pray for everyone right now that is in a passenger jet. We pray for those that are airports. We pray for those that are in prison, those that are at home, those are on palliative care, those in hospital, those, dear God, that are worried about life. Whatever the rhythm, whatever the bounce, Lord, we believe in the power
of God. And right now, Lord, you tell us through the great book of Joshua, chapter 1, verse 9, have I not commanded you? God is commanding you right now. God is commanding me right now at the early door. Father, as the sun rises, Lord, give us strength and give us courage. Lord, we're not going to be afraid. We're not going to be dismayed. From the battlefield to the boredroom, the Spirit of the Lord is over your life. Don't ever, ever give up. Jesus is your courage. Jesus is your strength. Don't go
too far. Wherever you are, my name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Join with me. Let's journey together. Let's go straight into the next prayer. God bless you. I'll see you soon.
