Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, wherever you are across the world. Thank you for making daily prayer part of your life and part of your day. We're going to pray together across this globe. We're going to get connected and we're going to jump straight in. It is 12 a.m. in London.
And we are praying out of Psalm 91, verse 1. This is the title, Jesus. Cover me under your protection and let me rest safely through this night. Father, we come to you. And we need the safety of our God. We need the safety of the rhythm of Scripture. We need the safety of El Shaddai, Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Nisi, Jehovah Shalom. Lord, we need secure rest. We pray for every one of us that is looking for secure rest. We need your covering. We need the anointing. We need your protection. Our mind, Father God, is racing. Lord, we're worried about tomorrow. Lord, we gotta sleep. Father, we gotta be up early. Father, we need you in our lives. Lord, will you show up practically? Lord, we are so tired. Our eyes are sore. Lord, it is 12 a.m. and we are still awake. Holy Spirit, we're too tired to sleep. We're too alert to sleep. Lord, we're too agitated to sleep. So right now, Jesus, cover
us under your protection and let us rest safely through this night. Lord, we lean in. Lord, we lean into Psalm 91, verse 1. Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge, my fortress, my God in whom I trust. Lord, we gotta lean into you. Jesus, establish your covering over our lives tonight. Guide our thoughts, protect our rest. Let no anxiety take hold. And Father, we pray, Lord, that fear will melt like wax, that doubt will just go at the name of Jesus. Lord, I pray whatever we have carried, Lord, right up to this hour, Lord, I ask you that we will close the laptop lid on work. Lord, that we will turn the key on what happened on today. And Lord, that we will just try and find a place to rest. So Lord, so we rest in you, and I will sleep in peace. I will remain under your covering from the battlefield to the boardroom to every scenario under the sun. Lord, we're looking for the hand of God. Jesus, cover us tonight, protect us tonight, speak to us tonight.
Father, we are stretching out, brother and sister, wherever you are across this world, as we pray together, as we lock in together, Lord, as we pray out of London, right the way through Lagos, right the way through Chile and Brazil. Lord, as we pray right over America, Lord, right through Australia and all the way through Europe and Asia. Lord, we're looking for an outpouring of your spirit. Lord, we're looking for the love of God. Tonight, Lord, we need this anxiety to go. Lord, we've got to find a way of dwelling and resting in Jesus. Because Lord, my mind is racing. My mind is at full stretch. Lord, and we are worried and we are scared. Lord, help us to take our eyes off of the fuel pump. Help us to take our eyes, dear God, off of the diesel, the petrol, the shipping lanes of life. Father, help us just to focus on Jesus Christ to come to you. Lord, we are burdened, we are worried, but right now we are praying for rest. So dear God, I pray at this hour that you will protect us, Father, that you will cover us, Father. Lord, that you will give us secure rest. Lord, will you please, will you please remove the worries and the fears and let us rest tonight in the greatest name in
heaven and earth? May God bless you and carry you. I'll catch you at the next prayer.
