Psalm 23:4 — Jesus, Stay Close and Bring Calm to My Evening - Live from London, England • Canada • Brazil • Kenya • India Psalm 23:4 (NIV): “Even though I walk through a gentle and uncertain place, I will fear no harm, for You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.” Psalm 91:2 (NIV): “I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’” Jesus, as this evening begins to settle across my day, I pause to find steady peace in Your presence. Sometimes the hours before nightfall can stir quiet worries, unspoken concerns, or gentle feelings of uncertainty about what is still ahead. But Your Word assures me that I never walk alone. You remain close, guiding my steps with quiet strength and surrounding my heart with calm that lifts the weight I may carry. Thank You that Your comfort is gentle, steady, and safe. Your nearness strengthens me without pressure, and Your care holds me without fear. Lord, You remind me that even when my thoughts feel busy or my emotions feel stretched, Your peace remains available. You walk with me, not rushing me, not leaving me, but providing a stillness that helps my heart breathe again. You bring reassurance that the path ahead is supported by Your wisdom, and every moment is held within Your faithful love. Let Your peace soften the edges of this evening, bringing clarity, balance, and gentle renewal. Jesus, guide me into a calm and steady rhythm as night approaches. Let Your Word rest over my thoughts. Let Your presence settle in my home. Let Your love anchor every part of me with confidence that is light, peaceful, and secure. Thank You that You surround my life with goodness, watch over my journey, and carry me with kindness. I trust You completely, knowing that You remain my comfort, my support, and my peace. Amen.

Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Van Cooper, recorded live here in London, England. May the Spirit of God, may the power of the Holy Spirit be with you wherever you are, whatever your time zone is. God is with each and every one of us. Thank you for staying with us. Thank you for uh staying with me, particularly with this croaky voice over the last three or four days. It's almost gone. I have had double man flu. Maybe I've had treble man flu. You know how it is, fellas. Come on. We're gonna pray. We're praying out of Psalm 23, verse 4. And the title is Jesus Stay Close and Bring Calm to My Evening. Jesus, stay close and bring calm to my evening. What sort of a day have you had? What is life doing? What is happening in your world? Please never ever give up. Jesus Christ is with you. Everything will be okay. But come on, let's get on the field of prayer together. Let's knuckle down. If you've been on the ropes today, if you've been pushed around today, the God that we serve is carrying you. Don't allow the world to push you around. Don't bounce on the rhythm of that trampoline. Get off that trampoline of monotony and follow the kingdom of God. Yeah, but I hear you saying, Rev, how do I follow that? It is through the word of God. Get yourself a Bible, open up the word of God and read the word of God. Father, in the name of Jesus, we come to you. And at this hour, Jesus, steady, steady my heart, calm my thinking, help me, Lord. Wherever we are right now, Lord, I want the gentleness of the rhythm of the word of God. Lord, I want your love, I want your mercy, I want your saving grace over my life. Lord, I thank you that no harm will come to us. So wherever we are right now, Lord, I pray, as we pray out of Psalm 23, verse 4, Jesus, stay close and bring calm to my evening. Lord, whatever day we've had, whatever is going on in the circle of our lives, wherever we are, from London all the way to Canada, Brazil, Kenya, and India, Lord, I pray that the love of God and the fire of God will be over each and every one of our hearts. Father, we need an outpouring of your spirit. Lord, we need the love of God. We need Jesus Christ like never before. Lord, I want you to keep us to the cross of Calvary. Lord, I want you to keep us in the rhythm of the word. I want you to keep us close. So Lord, we stretch out right now. And Jesus, stay close. Don't leave us, God. But Lord, we know that you won't leave us because the Bible says that you will not leave us as orphans. But Lord, my mind tells me, God, where are you? Lord, the situation says, God, where are you? Lord, bring calmness to my evening. Lord, strengthen me. Lord, give me stability right now. Holy Spirit, wherever we are across this world, whatever battles, whatever situations we've been through today, the valley experiences, the mountain experiences, the good, the bad, the ugly things that have gone on today. Jesus, I pray as we walk through Psalm 23, verse 4, even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil. For you are with me, your rod and your staff, they comfort me. Even though we walk through the valley of uncertainty, even though we walk through an unsteady place, even though we walk through very strange areas, Father, as we walk, dear God, down the corridor of life, Father, as we walk wherever we are right now, as we commute, Father, from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the field of life, Spirit of the Living God, whatever the circle of life is in our lives, Lord, wherever we are from, Holy Spirit, I pray from here, London, England, all the way to Canada, Brazil, Kenya, and India, that the Spirit of the Lord will carry each and every one of us. And Lord, we want to stay in Psalm 91, verse 2. We want to stay in that psalm of protection. We want to stay in the word of God. And this is what it says in Psalm 91, verse 2. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge and my fortress, my God in whom I trust. Father, I thank you that we trust in you. I thank you, Lord, that we're learning to walk in the rhythm with the Lion of Judah. You are that Lion of Judah. You are the great I am, you are Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Nisi, Jehovah Shalom. Father, I pray for such an outpouring of your spirit over our lives that we will see your love and your mercy and your saving grace. But right now, Lord, let the Spirit of the Lord be over all the listeners today. Never ever give up. Jesus Christ is with you from the battlefield to the Passover. The love of God is with you. Come on, I will catch you very, very soon shortly. Never don't go too far. See you soon. God bless.
