Scripture (NIV) Psalm 4:8 — “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” John 14:27 — “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you… Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” Intro  Across the world at this hour, searches for “night anxiety,” “can’t sleep,” and “why am I awake” surge. December amplifies fear and restlessness, making this scripture one of the most-searched for comfort in the night. Prayer Father, in Jesus’ name, bring peace to every restless heart awake in these hours. Calm the racing thoughts, the tight chest, the spirals of fear, and the feeling of being overwhelmed. Silence the noise of anxiety and the heaviness that steals sleep. Lord, cover the listener with Your presence, giving deep rest where the mind has been exhausted. Remove the fear of the night, the dread of tomorrow, and the unease that settles in darkness. Let Your peace guard their heart and mind, steady their breathing, and restore calm to their whole body. Surround their room with safety, stillness, and protection. Tonight, let Your peace become the atmosphere and Your presence become their rest. Prayer  prayer for sleep, prayer for peace, prayer for calm, prayer for safety, prayer for rest, prayer for clarity, prayer for emotional stillness, prayer for healing, prayer for relief, prayer for protection Life Application  Before sleep, speak Psalm 4:8 aloud, place your phone aside, breathe slowly, and invite God to fill the night with His calming presence. Declaration I declare that God’s peace surrounds my mind and sleep tonight. Call to Action Share this prayer and visit DailyPrayer.uk for global devotional resources.

SPEAKER_00:

Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes of faith, hope, and strength in the greatest name in heaven and earth. Whatever your life looks like, I want you to pause at this moment in time. I know you're busy, I know you're flying around, but let's just pause a moment. You might be on the school run, you might be on the commute. Yes, I know the schools are packing up, but you still might be on that dreaded school run, you might be on the work run, you might be on the food run, you might be on the coffee run, whatever you are doing on the field of life. Maybe you're in the dream, gym, sorry, maybe you're on the treadmill of life, whatever you are doing, brother and sister. Let's pause a moment. Come on, Father, in the name of Jesus. We pray at this midnight hour, at the early door of the day. Lord, as the sun rises, as the sun sets, we pray that the Holy Spirit will lead us in paths of righteousness. Lord, I invite my brothers in right now. Lord, I lock shields with the brothers and sisters around the world. Lord, I stand with them. Lord, we're tired, we're weary. Lord, we are pretending to sleep at night. Jesus, did you know that? Lord, we are so tired sometimes, Lord, that we cannot sleep and we pretend to lay there and sleep. Lord, have mercy on us. Holy Spirit, Lord, the nighttime anxiety, the insomnia. Lord, the trouble sleeping in the dark hours of December. Holy Spirit, sometimes, Jesus, sometimes, Lord, we are so tired we can't even sleep. We're so worried we can't even sleep. Lord, we're sleeping for an hour. One, two, three, Lord, moments, and then suddenly we're waking up, Lord. Father, please, I pray for everybody's sleep pattern right now. I pray for all of our sleep patterns, Lord, that we will get the correct amount of sleep. Lord, that and our bodies will recover. We pray for our immune system. We pray for our thinking. We pray for our mind. We pray for our cognitive processing. We pray, Lord, as our minds are overloaded. Lord, Spirit of the Living God, will you move in our hearts like never before? We need a stirring. We need the power of God. We need the love of Jesus because, Lord, we have a sleep issue. And right now, Lord, we are praying for the outpouring of the Spirit of the Living God. You are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And I believe in miracles. And right now, Lord, wherever we are gathering, from London to Dubai, from Dubai to Hong Kong, Vancouver, Cape Town, Los Angeles, dear God, Venezuela, Lord, Brazil, Lord, come, Holy Spirit, every tribe, every tongue. We need Jesus. Lord, we're not sleeping properly. We got issues with sleeping. Lord, we can't sleep. Lord, we're tired and we are exhausted and we are hitting the burn-out moments. And Lord, we need you in our lives. So Father, we believe. As we call right now, Psalm 4, 8, over our lives, I will sleep in peace. For you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. Lord, I need to sleep well. We need to sleep well. Lord, in peace, I will lie down. But Father, will you help us? Please, God, we're calling on your name. Lord, we need help, Father. We need our practical God. We need the Lion of Judah. We need the great I am. We need the God above all gods. And Father, we need help because we got to rest. Lord, there are so many suffering with insomnia. So many people, dear God, suffering with sleeping issues. There are so many, dear God, with nighttime tremors and sweats. But Lord, not only do we stand, dear God, in the beautiful Psalms of David of 4-8, Lord, we hold on to the beautiful book of John 14, 27. Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Lord, in this season, I pray for the listeners right now. I pray that they will not be afraid in the season that we're in at this moment. Lord, as we watch the news, as we hear the news, Lord, I pray that we will not, dear God, be trapped on social media. Lord, I pray that we will leave our phones, that we will put that down, that we won't get trapped in social media all through the night trying to find peace. But Lord, that we will rest and we will pray. We will close our eyes. Father, take the phone out of our hands. Lord, stop us scrolling, dear God, on all the social platforms. Lord, I pray, Lord, that we will rest and our sleep will be sweet. Lord, you tell us, Lord, peace I leave with you. Lord, I need peace. We all need peace. You are the God above all gods. Lord, help us to sleep, Lord. Father, we are praying for those that can't sleep, those that are scared to sleep. And Lord, why am I awake when I'm so tired? Father, bless everybody through this crazy month of December. I pray that the Spirit of the Lord will give you such peace today and you will feel the love of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for staying with us. Thank you for praying with us today. And wherever you are, lock in with us and follow us on the social networks, dailyprayer.uk.
