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 locking in, we're staying connected, we're on a journey, and the journey is called prayer. Wherever you are, let's never ever give up. Let's focus.
We are jumping straight in to John 3 16. This is the title, Jesus. Anchor me in your love and quieten every fear rising in this hour. Holy Spirit, we come to you. Jesus, we come to you. Father, we come to you. Anchor me in your love and quieten every fear rising in this hour. Lord, every fear that is starting to arise within us. Lord, on the outside of life, on the inside of our hearts, we are praying, Lord, that you will quieten every fear that rises at this hour. Lord, we need your love. We need your grace. Lord, as we stretch out across the world, will you anchor each and every one of us into your love? Father, we want to be drawn into John 3.16. We thank you for John 3.16 over our lives. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whosoever shall believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting
life. Lord, we want to come to the cross of Calvary. Lord, these thoughts at this unusual hour. Lord, I bring every listener before, Lord, the sound of my voice. And Lord, I say, dear God, in the name of Jesus, will you touch their hearts right now? Lord, will you help us not to be anxious at night? Will you help us not to overthink? Lord, the fear in the early hours. Lord, we need emotional rest right now. We have got fatigue. We are tired and we are weary. Lord, we are looking for the love of God and the peace of God. But right now, I pray that you will bless the listeners from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. Thank God that you're standing with us through prayer. Thank God that you're standing with us as we wrestle certain things in life. Wherever you are, don't you ever give up. Jesus, in this quiet hour where thoughts become loud and very noisy, Lord, as fear becomes heavy on our shoulders, Lord, we pray that you remove all the fear, all the doubt. Lord, we need you to be our anchor. Lord, you need to be that rock that you speak about in
the word. And we come to you, dear God, broken and lost, worried and scared. And Lord, we don't want to lock onto the price of the barrel of oil. We don't want to listen to social media. Father, from the four corners of this world, wherever we are, whatever colour, whatever tribe, whatever language, whatever culture we're from, Father, we stretch out in the name of Jesus. Lord, as we broadcast across the world, bless us. From London all the way to New York, from all the way from New York to the United States of America, from America to Australia, from Australia to Lisbon, from Lisbon to Frankfurt, from Frankfurt all the way to Peru.
Lord, we are primed for an outpouring of your spirit. We believe in revival. We believe in the power of God. And we need Jesus. Oh my goodness, do we need Jesus? Lord, you've got to anchor us in the word of God. Will you anchor us in John 3.16? We want to feel your love. We want to feel your mercy. We want to feel the saving grace of the Messiah. And Lord, you tell us in John 3.16, for God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whosoever shall believe in him will not perish but have everlasting life.
Lord, as we pedal out of this prayer, Father, from the sofa to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the bed right now. Father, we are tired and we're asking you, Lord, will you close our eyes and help us sleep? Take the worry, take that fear. But Jesus, be that anchor that we need in this life. Come, Holy Spirit, lift us and carry us wherever you are. Don't ever, ever give up. God is with you. Will you join me at the next prayer? Come on.
