Psalm 4:8 — Peace for Night Anxiety, Restlessness, and Troubled Sleep From London to Nairobi, from Nairobi to Vancouver, from Vancouver to Seoul, from Seoul to Rome, from Rome to Brisbane — a global 3 A.M. prayer within the DailyPrayer.uk 24-Hour Cycle. 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.” Introduction: Night-time anxiety peaks globally in late December as minds race, bodies stay alert, and emotional pressure intensifies. Millions search for calm, reassurance, and sleep that restores the heart. Prayer: Father, in Jesus’ name, place Your peace over every restless mind awake in the night hours. Calm those whose thoughts are looping with worry, fear, or dread of tomorrow. Settle the heartbeat of those fighting panic, tension, or sudden waves of anxiety. Lord, steady the breathing of every listener struggling to switch off, those scrolling in the dark, those weighed down by responsibilities, those unable to silence internal noise. Let Your presence quiet every storm and fill bedrooms, hospital wards, workplaces, and lonely spaces with divine rest. Break the grip of insomnia, night tremors, and emotional overload. Wrap every listener in Your safety, Your nearness, and Your perfect peace. Prayer Points: prayer for calm in the night, prayer for steady breathing, prayer for release from panic, prayer for deep rest, prayer for peaceful thoughts, prayer for restored sleep cycles, prayer for protection in darkness Life Application: Before resting again, speak both scriptures aloud and breathe slowly for sixty seconds, inviting God’s peace to cover your mind and physical body. Declaration: I declare that God’s peace settles my mind and restores my sleep tonight. Call to Action: Share this prayer and visit DailyPrayer.uk for global devotional resources.

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 Christ is over your life. May the power, may the glory. You know, come on, will you walk with me today? Will you pray with me? Listeners, brothers and sisters, come on, let's partner, let's let's divulge in some prayer today. Come on, yes, we're in December. We're still in this gloomy old month. You know, yes, the trees are up. Yes, we're getting closer to Christmas. It is Wednesday the 24th. May the Spirit of the Living God carry you wherever you are. Dear God, I pray for all those that have got anxiety at this moment, all those that feel they're at they are living in a time of restlessness. I pray for those that are troubling, sleeping right now. But Lord, Spirit of the Living God, we declare that the word of the Lord is over our lives. We declare that there is freedom in the name of Jesus Christ, right from this studio here in London to Mumbai, from Mumbai, dear God, to Vancouver, Vancouver to Tel Aviv, from Tel Aviv to Stockholm, from Stockholm, dear God, all the way, dear God, to Bronesseres. Lord God, bless Afghanistan right now, whatever the time zone is, spirit of the living God, but we need peace. And Lord, we come to the cross of Calvary, Lord, and we hold on to Psalm 4, verse 8. In peace I will lie down and sleep. Father, this scripture feels so rich for this month. Lord, this scripture, Lord, feels so rich right now. Lord, this is a scripture that we keep praying and believing for. Lord, I'm gonna lie down. Lord, I'm gonna get down on that bed. Lord, I'm gonna sleep in the name of Jesus. Lord, I'm not gonna be robbed by the devil of my sleep. Lord, God, in the name of Jesus, devil get under my bed right now. In the name of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. I am blessed and highly favored. Dear God, I thank you that angels are put to flight. Father, you have put angels to fly over our lives right now, Lord. Father, let our sleep be sweet. Father, we thank you for Psalms 4, verse 8. In peace, I will lie down and sleep. For you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety, Father. Lord, I want to dwell in the house of the Lord. Father, I want to dwell in your presence. Lord, I draw the listeners with me today. I carry the listeners. Lord, I carry them. They're tired, they're weary, they've had enough. Jesus, we've had enough. Lord, we're tired of the anxious nights. We're tired of the early morning scares. Lord, we're worried about the panic attack. Sorry, that just comes over our lives. But right now, Lord, will you deal with these night tremors? Will you deal with the anxiety at night? You are the Lion of Judah. You are the great I am. Father, we are carrying restlessness. Lord, and it makes us feel very, very unusual. Lord, we don't want this restlessness. Lord, we want freedom. We want the love. Lord, and I pray for those that are having trouble sleeping right now, wherever they are. Lord, we believe that John 14, 27 is for each and everyone's heart now. Peace I leave with you. Father, I thank you for this scripture. I thank you, Lord, that this word keeps coming alive in our spirit. Peace I leave with you. My peace I give to you. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. Lord, we cannot be afraid anymore. Lord, we lived our lives in fear. We lived our lives on the run. We lived our lives, dear God, worrying about what they say, he says, she says, they say. And Lord, we're not listening to what the word of God is saying. So, Father, right now, we pray that we will not live by hearsay of human beings, but we will live by the fulfillment of the word of God. And we will live in the presence of God. So right now, Lord, Father, we believe in the name of Jesus that there is peace in our hearts. We pray for every restless heart today. We pray for every awakening heart right now. We pray for calm. We pray for stillness. We pray for the love of God. We thank you right now, dear God. We thank you that fear is gone. Dread for tomorrow is gone. Lord, we are not gonna fight these panic attacks anymore. We're not gonna wrestle tension. Lord, we're not gonna allow these sudden waves of anxiety to crash down in our lives. We're gonna rise up on wings as of eagles. Lord, we're gonna rise today, Lord. Father, we believe that Jericho is falling. The Jericho, dear God, of worry, the Jericho of doubt. We believe right now that we hear the sound, dear God, of walls coming down. We believe our shackles are gone. We are blessed and highly favored. May the Spirit of the living God be over you. Wherever you are living, wherever you are working, from the battlefield to the boardroom. Thank you for praying with us today for more daily devotions.
