Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, wherever you are across the world. Thank God that you're making daily prayer part of your life and part of the bounce of your day. Wherever you are, we are crisscrossing the globe together. Let's lock in. Let's grab a breath, grab a cup of tea, grab a coffee. I know you're busy. I know there are things going on in your life that are so stressful, so worrying, so fearful. But let's just spend four to five minutes praying together. Come
on, join me. We're coming out of the Gospel of John 14, 27. Jesus, release the pressure within me and restore deep calm to my heart. Holy God, release the pressure within me and restore deep calm to my heart. Father, it's been a long day. Father, we are emotionally exhausted and we are tired. Father, what the world is saying, it is exhausting us. Lord, what we are listening to on social media, what we are capturing through the news channels, we are physically and mentally tired.
Lord, we don't want to keep hearing that word war. Lord, we don't want to keep looking at the shipping lanes, worrying about where the oil is, where the barrel is, where the bread is, where the food is. Lord, we just need peace tonight. Holy Spirit, I pray, as we stretch out from London all the way, dear God, to Toronto, as we broadcast from London to Toronto, to France, to Manila, all the way to Taiwan, from Taiwan to Hong Kong, to Asia, to India, to around the world.
Lord, we are tired, we are exhausted, and we are weary. We pray for revival. We pray for breakthrough. Lord, will you revive us? Lord, because we feel very fatigued at this moment. Lord, there's been a lot of stress going on in our lives today. But Lord, we gotta lean in. We gotta lean into the Gospel of John 14, 27. And this is what the Bible says over your life, wherever you are. Peace. I leave with you. My peace I give to you. I do not give as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Father, help us not to be afraid. Lord, I keep looking at the news. I keep listening to the sound of radio. I keep getting into conversations with other human beings. And Lord, I want to listen to what you say. So right now, Lord, I pray that we will have and know the peace that you promise us. You said that the peace that you give to us is different to what the world has to have. So right now, Lord, I pray for every heart that is with me. Lord, we are fatigued, we are tired, but Jesus, release the pressure within us now. Holy Spirit, restore deep calm to our hearts. Father, we need you. We are tired, and Lord, there's still a few hours to go. Lord, it's ages before we get to bed. Lord, it's ages before we shut
our eyes. Lord, the kids are running wild in the house. Lord, we've got to cook the food. We've got to do the washing. We've got to do the ironing. Lord, we're tired, Father. We've got to look after the family. Lord, we've got to get home from work. Father, whatever the scenarios, whatever the situation is, Father, give us stress. Lord, I pray right now from the battlefield to the laptop, from the laptop, dear God, all the way to the scaffold, from the scaffold to retail. Dear God, I pray, whatever job, whatever career we are in, whatever our life looks like. Father, I pray from the youngest to the oldest. Lord, every tribe, every color, every language, every creed, I pray, Lord, that we will find the goodness of God. And right now, Lord, bring calm. Lord Jesus, release the pressure within us. Holy Spirit, release this pressure because Lord, it feels like I'm a volcano and I'm about to erupt with fear, worry, doubt. But Lord, will you remove the molten lava that is within me? And Lord, remove the molten lava of fear, doubt, worry. Lord, the seasons that are in our lives, the winter, the spring, the summer, Holy Spirit, autumn. Father, Lord, the weather system of life is changing all the time. And Lord, I pray that you will bring deep rest and calm to our hearts. Father, our eyes are tired, our bones are aching, and we've still got a lot to
do. Father, bring peace to every listener right now. Wherever you are, don't ever give up. God is with you. Let's continue to pray. Join me at the next prayer.
