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. Come on, we're gonna stand together. We've got through the day together. Come on, there's just a few hours, just two hours left before we strike that clock at 12 o'clock.
It is 10 p.m. And we are jumping into the book of Isaiah 41, verse 10. Jesus, remove every fear response and establish me in your presence tonight. Holy Spirit, Yahweh, remove every fear response and establish me in your presence tonight. Father, as we crisscross this globe, as we lock in, Father, our eyes are really tired. Lord, the eyelids are flickering. Lord, we are struggling to keep awake. And Lord, we've still got stuff to do. But right now, Lord, will you remove the fear of the night? Lord, will you remove the night tremors, the worries, dear God, of the night, the loneliness of the night, the doubt of the night, dear God, the darkness of the night. Will you protect us through this night? Lord, we call on the King above all kings. And we say, God, we want to feel your love tonight in our lives. Father, we want to feel your goodness in our heart. We want to feel your very presence over the skin in which we walk him. And Father, as we sit on the edge of the bed, Father, as we get, dear God, the uniform off today. Lord, as we just switch these clothes over, dear God, to the nightclothes, the robe, the pajamas, the onesie, whatever it may be. As we get ready, Lord, for bed, I
pray that we will sleep well. Father, as we take our makeup off, Lord, as we try, dear God, to get rid of the thoughts in our day. Lord, as we wash our hands, dear God, from the hardness of today. Lord, our bones are tired. Lord, we've been digging holes. We've been washing. Lord, we've been cutting the grass. Lord, we've been looking after the children. Father, we've been run ragged with just life. And Lord, when we look back over our life today, Father, we can't even see what we've really done because today has just been a blur. So right now, Lord, we are extremely tired and we are weary. But Lord, I pray for these night fears to go. Will you remove every fear response and establish us in your presence tonight? Father, as we just sit on the edge of the bed. We're sitting back on the sofa with a cup of tea, a cup of coffee. Lord, we just got the children in bed. Lord, the house is starting to become calm. But Lord, there is washing everywhere. Lord, we still got to clean up and tidy up after the day. Holy Spirit, we are really tired. So Jesus, I pray that you will remove every fear response. Lord, we're worried about the war. We're worried about the diesel. We're worried about the petrol. We're worried about the children in bed now. Lord, we're worried about our work. We're worried about our home. We're worried about every scenario under the sun. Lord, we're worrying, dear God, about the cost of living that is rising beyond human understanding. Lord, we can't keep up with it. And Lord, we are pretty scared. But right now, Lord, as we broadcast right from here London, right the way through Los Angeles, all the way to Canada, all the way, dear God, to Taiwan, all the way from Taiwan to Hong Kong, all the way to Manila and the Philippines and India. Lord, as we crisscross the globe together, Lord, I pray for protection tonight, and we will feel God's love and your spirit over
us. But Lord, we've got to lean into the great book of Isaiah 41, verse 10. So do not fear, for I am with you. Do not be discouraged, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you. I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Father, we need an uplift. Lord, these eyes are weary, these bones are aching. This skin is itching. Father, Lord, I pray that you remove the stress of life, the stress of health, the stress of illness, the stress of money, the stress of war, the stress of sleeping, waking. Father, we are in a bit of a turmoil tonight. And Lord, you need to establish your love in the skin that we walk in. Holy God, I pray for every listener under the sound of my voice. Lord, as they're trying to rest, I pray, Lord God, that you will carry every tear, that you will wipe, dear God, every tear from their face, that you will carry their hearts, and you will heal them from the crown of their head to the sole
of their feet. Don't ever, ever give up. I'm peddling out of this prayer. Come on, will you catch me? Catch us very, very soon at the 11th hour. Come on, wherever you are, don't ever give up. God is with you.
