Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the Lord your God will be with you wherever you go.”This is your morning prayer for courage, for steady strength, and for the reassurance that you are not facing this day alone. If there is something ahead of you that feels uncertain, or a quiet fear that has settled in, this moment is for you. This is a prayer to help you stand with confidence and move forward with God. Father, as this day continues, we come to You honestly. You see what we are facing. You understand what we are carrying. And You know where fear tries to take hold. But Your Word speaks clearly— to be strong and to be courageous. Not because we have all the answers, but because You are with us. So we pause here. We take a breath. We allow Your presence to steady us. We do not need to rush past this moment. We let Your truth settle into our hearts—that we are not alone. You go before us. You walk beside us. You remain with us. So I bring the fear I am feeling to You. I bring the thoughts that try to hold me back. I bring the uncertainty that makes me hesitate. I place it in Your hands. And I do not need to carry it anymore. I release the fear of what might happen. I release the doubt that I am not enough. I release the pressure to feel strong all the time. I release it. And now, I receive. I receive courage for this day. I receive strength to take the next step. I receive the quiet assurance that You are with me wherever I go. Today, I will not step back in fear. I will move forward with steady confidence. I will trust that You are guiding me through whatever lies ahead. God is with you now. You are not alone in this moment. Across the world, wherever we are listening, You are strengthening hearts. From Johannesburg to Bogotá, from Dubai to Manila, Your Spirit is bringing courage and steady faith. Jesús, dame valor para este día y ayúdame a seguir adelante. Jesus Cristo, dá-me coragem hoje e sustenta-me em cada passo.

Welcome To Morning Daily Prayer

SPEAKER_00 0:03

Welcome to daily prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, wherever you are across the world. Thank you for making daily prayer part of your life and part of the rhythm of your day. It is the morning devotional prayer time. We're going to jump straight into the book of Joshua, chapter 1, verse 9. This is the title When I Feel Afraid and Need Courage to Face What Lies Ahead. We're praying for courage, strength, steadiness, and Lord, we are praying for persistence. So Lord, we pray that we'll be faithful to the word of God and we will persist and we will walk in confidence. Not only will we walk in confidence, we will walk in grace, we will walk in courage, we will walk in a steadfastness of the love of the Lord that never fails. And right now, Lord, we pause, we be still, and we say, Jesus, when I feel afraid and need courage to face this hour, I believe that you are with each and every one of us. And Lord, as we stretch out live from London, England, Lord, we pray from London all the way to Johannesburg, from Johannesburg all the way to Bogota, from Bogota to Dubai, from Dubai to Manila to the Philippines. Father, we are praying right the way around America, Asia. We're praying, Lord God, that the love of Jesus will be over our lives, whatever continent, whatever nation, whatever tribe, whatever language, Lord, we need courage to face this day. Holy Spirit, from the battlefield to the boardroom, to the field of life, to the scaffold, to the van, to the car, to the washing machine, to the ironing. Lord, we pray for the homemakers. We pray, dear God, for those that need a miracle in their lives right now. Lord, I pray that we walk through Joshua 1 verse 9. Lord, you are commanding us right now. God is calling you to Joshua 1 verse 9. Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid. Do not be discouraged. For the Lord thy God will be with you wherever you go. Father, I just want to breathe that in right now. Lord, I want to inhale. Lord, that scripture. Lord, I want to breathe that into my body. Lord, I want to tell my spirit that all is well. I want to tell my mind all is well. I want to tell the environment all the way around my life, the noise of life, the worry of life. Lord, I want to tell everyone around me to be strong and courageous and not to be afraid, not to be discouraged. For the Lord thy God is with you wherever you go. Father, wherever we go, whatever scenario we're in, whatever footstep we're in at this moment, dear God, wherever we are across the world, we believe that God has given us courage, persistence, a steadiness, and a morning strength. Lord, that morning strength is coming from the Word of God. So Jesus, when I feel afraid and need courage to face the day, I believe that it's coming from yourself. Lord, I cannot go any further forward in my life in my own strength, in my own mind, and in my emotions. Lord, I've got to go by faith. So Father, as this morning continues, Lord, we come to you honestly. And Father, whatever we face right now, Lord, you see our hearts, our minds, and will you help us to be strong? And Lord, will you fill us with courage? Lord, you got the answers. So we pause right now, wherever we are, we pause and we breathe and we say, Yes, Lord, all things are possible to those who believe. So before we go forward, before we make another step, before another decision comes out of our lips, we believe the Lord has our lives in the palm of his hand. So Lord, we're not going to go in fear, we're going to go in power. We're not going to go in doubt, we're going to go in hope. So Lord, wherever we are scattered across the world, from the battlefield to the boardroom, we release the fear. We release the doubt. We speak to you through the power, dear God, of our language. Lord, and we thank you that prayer is just a communication line between our heart and you, God. And Father, we thank you that Jesus is seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding for all the saints. Jesus, wherever we are, we receive courage today. We receive strength right now to keep walking. We will never give up, Lord. We are braggadocious for Jesus Christ. I pray for healing. I pray for miracles. Lord, across the world right now, wherever we are listening, Lord, whatever we may be doing, Lord, I believe that you are giving us strength to our hearts, our minds, our bodies, and our souls. I want to tell you right now, God is with you right now. You are not alone in this moment. May the Spirit of the Lord carry you for the rest of the morning, the rest of the day, the rest of the evening. Don't ever give up. I invite you to join me for the next prayer. God bless you.
