Daily Christian Prayer Podcast @7 - Crossing Your River Jordan

Standing at the Jordan: A Daily Prayer for When the Way Forward Seems Impossible
Scripture Reading: Joshua 3:14–17

Daily Christian Prayer Devotion with Reverend Ben Cooper

Welcome to the Daily Christian Prayer Devotion — your five-minute pause for powerful Scripture, focused prayer, and unshakable encouragement to anchor your day. This is your Daily Prayer Podcast, where each episode is built to strengthen faith, restore hope, and awaken the power of God in everyday life.

Today, we stand with the Israelites in Joshua 3, just steps from the Promised Land. But before them lies a barrier: the Jordan River in full flood. For us, that river might look like a financial burden, a crushing diagnosis, an anxious heart, or an emotional wound no one sees.

We open this devotional with an honest confession: “Lord, I’m scared today.” But that fear is met with bold faith: “This is the day I will see Your glory. This is the hour I will see Your power.” That’s what this daily prayer is all about—faith that moves forward, even when the waters haven’t parted yet.

Like the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant, we must step forward in faith before the miracle comes. As we do, we lock shields of faith with believers around the world—praying together, believing together, trusting together.

📖 Let today’s 5-minute prayer guide you into divine courage. God is still the One who makes a way through what seems impassable. You are not alone, and your breakthrough may be one prayer away.

Stay anchored in faith, stay strong in prayer and remember God is always with you. Let's pray, father. This is the day that the Lord has made. I shall rejoice and be glad and, lord, as I stand at the River Jordan, lord, I come to you in prayer and Lord, as I stand at the River Jordan, lord, I come to you in prayer and Lord, as I walk forward in faith. Lord, I see and I can hear this river flowing at full flood stage. But today, lord, I'm walking towards the giants in my life. I'm walking towards the rivers in my life. I'm walking towards the issues in my life. I'm walking towards the rivers in my life. I'm walking towards the issues in my life and, lord, as you told the Levitical priesthood, father, in the name of Jesus, to pick up the ark and go and stand in the river Jordan. I pick up the word, I pick up Genesis to Revelation, in prayer, and I walk and I stand on the brink of the river Jordan and today, lord, I believe that miracles are happening. Lord, where I cannot get over this river, where I cannot get through this river, lord, where I am not capable of getting to the other side, lord, I believe today you are going to part the River Jordan. I believe that Jordan represents financial worry. I believe that Jordan represents fear and doubt, sickness and disease. And I believe, as I stand on the brink of the Jordan bank, lord, I believe in miracles, I believe in the power of the word. And today, lord, the challenges that I have, lord, as I watch and as I listen to the torrent, as I listen to the power, lord, as I listen and I see the power of the river of life at full flood stage, I will not be fearful Because, lord, you're going to get me across. You're going to get me across to the other side. Lord, I am not going to be left on the wrong side of the river Jordan. I believe you are going to take me from where I am and you are going to part this Jordan.

Speaker 1: 3:01

And, lord, I'm going to go through on dry ground, through this prayer time, spirit of the living God, as I stand on the brink, lord, I've got nowhere else to go, I've got nowhere else to turn, but you've called me to stand and to face the giants and the rivers of life. And, lord, I'm trusting you because I've spent everything else and I'm scared today. But, lord, I hear the sound. I hear the sound of your word Be strong and courageous. Be strong and courageous. So, lord, I pray that I will, we will, all of us today, under the sound of my voice, will be strong and courageous and we stand strong together. We lock shields of faith across the world as brothers and sisters in the kingdom of God. And as we lock shields of faith, we stand together, lord, not on the dry ground of the edge of the Jordan, but, lord, we go into the river of life and we say yes, lord. This is the day, lord, where I see your glory, this is the hour where I see your power, this is the moment, god, right now, spirit of the living God, I pray, lord, for my brothers and sisters as they look across the river of life. Today, they will know their Redeemer lives and because he lives, they can face tomorrow. So right now, lord, as they stand anchored in the word of God, knee deep in the river of life, spirit of the living God, will you make a way? Will you make a way? Will you make a way? Yes, I know you're going to make a way because my God is able. Today, wherever you are, remind yourself that your God is able. Thank you for joining us through this prayer time, but I want to remind you one more time stand in the river of life and get ready to watch God part the river Jordan for you.
