Colossians 3:15 — Peace for Relational Strain and Family Pressure in December From London to Vancouver, from Nairobi to Sydney, from Mumbai to Dublin — a global 8 P.M. prayer within the DailyPrayer.uk 24-Hour Devotional Cycle. Scripture (NIV): Colossians 3:15 — “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts…” Romans 12:18 — “If it is possible… live at peace with everyone.” Across global platforms, searches rise for “family tension,” “peace at Christmas,” “how to handle conflict,” and “emotional overload with relatives.” December always exposes pressure points. Prayer: Father, in the name of Jesus, we ask for Your peace to enter strained homes, heavy conversations and families walking on emotional edges. Calm voices, soften hearts, lift pressure and dismantle every unseen tension. Heal long-standing fractures, generational wounds, silent resentments and unspoken disappointments. Bring understanding where irritation sits, patience where frustration grows and grace where tempers flare. Restore kindness in marriages, unity among siblings, peace among extended family and strength for those carrying relational fatigue. Let Your Spirit fill every room where conflict whispers. Let the peace of Christ rule over emotions tonight. In Jesus’ name. Amen. Prayer Points: prayer for peace, prayer for unity, prayer for patience, prayer for calm, prayer for forgiveness, prayer for softened hearts, prayer for restored relationships, prayer for emotional stability, prayer for grace, prayer for families Life Application: Pause before every conversation tonight and silently pray, “Let the peace of Christ rule in my heart.” Approach each relationship with gentleness. Declaration: I declare that Christ’s peace governs my emotions, my home and every relationship tonight. Call to Action: Share this prayer and visit DailyPrayer.uk for global devotional resources.

SPEAKER_00:

Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself Reverend Van Cooper recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes of faith, hope, and strength. The love of Jesus. Come on, let's tell each other that the love of Jesus, where are you right now? What is your life reflecting at this moment? The Spirit of the Lord is over you. Are you living a life that is really enduring? Are you living a life that is full of family strain, pain, and worry and conflict? Are you in a situation where there's sickness and fear and doubt and worry? I am. So I don't know about you, brothers and sisters. I've got to get to the cross. I've got to get to the cross because my God has got to show up in my life because I want to tell you straight, I've had enough. I've had enough of ministry, I've had enough of church, I've had enough of what the world is saying. I need Jesus. And I need this word in my spirit. Is there anyone bold enough to come to the cross with me through this time of prayer together? Is there anyone bold enough just to tell the world I've had enough? I'm tired of this emotional pressure. I'm tired of the family strain. I'm tired of being torn to work, at school, at home, at life. I'm tired of being torn every which way. And Lord, I'm tired of this December overwhelming feeling of pressure, loneliness, scared, the feeling of fatigue, the dark days, spirit of the living God. I need the word in my spirit. I don't know if anybody's out there listening, but come on, we got to pray. Father, in the name of Jesus, we got an emotional overload. Lord, we feel the weight of the world. We feel the darkness of society and culture. And Lord, we got to break out of the box because we got to remind ourselves that we're born again, spirit-filled, blessed and highly favored. Brothers and sisters in Christ Jesus. And Lord, we're not going to carry this strain no more. Lord, we're not going to live like this no more. Lord, we we speak the word over our lives. We speak peace into our lives. We speak peace over our bodies. And right now, we hold into the beautiful book of Colossians 3, verse 15. Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts. Father, you got to rule in our hearts. Lord, you got a rule in our lives. Lord, I know we got to surrender, but Lord, sometimes, Lord, it is so difficult surrendering when the world, Lord, is barking, when the world is barking like wild dogs. Lord, when we feel the world is so noisy. Lord, and we can't think right, we can't look straight. Lord, we're trying to drive and we're trying to move forward. Lord, the phone's ringing, the emails are going, the kids are going crazy. Father God, work is just bananas. Lord, everything has just lost the plot. Spirit of the living God, we come to you and we need peace. So Lord, I pray for each and every one of us right now that we will find peace, that we will find rest in the name of Jesus. And Lord, through this quiet time, we believe that Psalm 61, too, is for us. When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Lord, it is the word of God. That's all we need. The word of God, Jesus, is everything we need. Lord, I don't need judge. I don't need humanity. Lord, I don't need work. I don't need the pressures of life. I've got to seek ye first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and everything else shall be added unto me. So, Father, we believe in Psalm 61, too. When my heart is overwhelmed, lead me to the rock that is higher than I. Father, as we record live in London, England, from London to Vancouver, from Vancouver, dear God, to Mumbai, from Mumbai to Lagos, to Berlin. Holy Spirit, through this quiet time. Lord, we need Jesus. We are living in very powerful days. And the Spirit of the Lord is over us. But Lord, there's trouble in the family. There's trouble in the camp tonight. There's trouble at work. There's trouble in me. My mind. My thinking. Society, culture. I need Jesus. God, I need you to show up. Lord, because the church ain't cutting the cloth anymore. Religion is so far gone. Lord, where are the preachers of the world? Lord, I want to hear the word. I want to go to church, Lord, and I want to feel the power of the Spirit of the living God. Lord, I don't want smoke machines, mirrors, Lord, and fine-looking men and women down the front, Lord, singing kumbai. I want the fire of God. I want the anointing of God. Lord, I've got to get the work. I've got to, I've got to get the work, Jesus. The smoke machine's no good to me on a Sunday morning. Weak preaching is no good to me to get me through the week. Lord God, black buildings with no windows are no good to me. I need to see the light of the world. I need to see Jesus because he says, I am the light of the world. I need to see my God and my King. Sisters and brothers, it's time. It's time now to really lock into Jesus. And wherever you are, I pray for you right now. It's Jesus. It's Jesus. It's more of Jesus. It is the word of God. And I pray for you wherever you are right now as we come to this quick-fired moment as we just click out of this. But brother and sister, wherever you are, do not give up. Thank you for standing. Thank you for praying with me today. For more daily devotions, follow us on the social platforms at dailyprayer.uk. God bless.
