Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Van Cooper, wherever you are in the world, thank you for making daily prayer part of your life and part of your day. We pray that as we lock shield together at the 11th hour, I ask God that He will give you strength, He will sustain you, and He will carry you. Come on, let's stay connected. We're praying and we're never gonna give up in prayer. Don't ever, ever give
up. The title of this prayer is coming out of the book of Psalms 23, verse 1. Jesus, shepherd me into deep rest and keep me secure through this night. Holy Spirit, will you keep us secure through tonight? Because Lord, we've had some unusual dreams, we've had some night tremors, and Lord, I pray for peace over every human being at the name of Jesus. Lord, at the 11th hour, we realize that Jesus Christ is our Lord and Savior. Will you help us, dear God, to surrender everything to you? Will you give us a peaceful rest? Will you protect us tonight? Lord, I want to trust in you more and more and more. But will you remind every one of us that the Lord is our shepherd? We lack nothing. Lord, that we lack nothing.
Lord, that you're putting bread on the table, you're feeding the family, Lord, that you're paying, dear God, and you are making a way. Lord, I thank you that you are helping us with the electricity bill. I thank you, Lord, as you help us with the gas and with the crisis right now on the fuel pump, dear God. I pray right now that we won't look at the price at the liter of petrol and diesel. Lord, we will remind ourselves that the Lord is our shepherd. Lord, you are gonna make the wages go further. Lord, we are gonna lack nothing. Lord, we are putting our heating on tonight because we believe that God is gonna make a way where there is no way. We believe, dear God, that John 3.16 is over all of our lives. For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whosoever will believe in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. Father, eyes are tired, our hands are weary, our backs are aching. Lord, our hearts are beating fast.
Lord, we lock on to the price of the barrel of oil. Lord, we don't want to listen to social media. Lord, we are hearing table tennis political driving at this moment. Lord, we don't want to listen to this, that hour, and then dear God, situational ethics is changing in the afternoon. Holy God, that you are. Father, I pray that we won't lock on to governments, but we will lock on to the king. You are Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom. You are a God that watches over us. You do not sleep nor slumber. Father, we pray that we will fill the anointing, that we will find security in you. Lord, will you keep watching over us? You are our shepherd. We lack nothing. Father, we thank you that there is gas in the boiler. We thank you that there is electricity in the system. Lord, we're gonna open the cupboard
up in the kitchen. Lord, there is bread in the bread bin. Father, there is milk in the fridge. There is water in the tap. Father, we thank you that the love of God is over our lives wherever we are in the world. Lord, we need you in our hearts and our minds and our bodies and our souls.
Father, as we broadcast, as we pray out all the way from London to San Francisco, Cape Town, Madrid, and Manila. Lord, we are praying from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the field of life. Father, I pray right now as we sit on the sofa, we sit, dear God, and lay in bed. Lord, we are tired. We are so tired we can't even get ourselves undressed tonight. Lord, we are weary. Father, I pray that you will close our eyes and we will rest in peace. Spirit of the living God, I pray that you will be with every listener, dear God, and bless them from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. Don't go too far. Come on, join me. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. I will catch you at 12 a.m. Join me.
