If your mind is still active, or the day feels like it is lingering within you, this moment is for you. This is a prayer to help you release today and rest in the presence of God. Father, as the night draws in, we come to You gently. We do not need to carry this day any further. We do not need to hold on to every detail. We can place it all into Your care. You are the One who gives rest. You are the One who watches over us. And in You, we are safe. So we pause here. We allow the pace of the day to slow. We allow our thoughts to settle. We allow our hearts to rest in Your presence. So I bring everything from today into Your hands.  The moments that were heavy. The thoughts that stayed with me. The things I could not resolve. I place them with You. And I do not need to carry them into the night. I release the tension in my mind. I release the weight in my body. I release the need to keep thinking everything through. I release it. And now, I receive. I receive peace that settles over me. I receive calm within my thoughts. I receive rest that restores my strength. I receive. And now I lie down in peace. Not holding on. Not worrying. But resting in the knowledge that You are with me. God is with you now. You are not alone tonight. You are safe in His presence. You are held in His care. Across the world, wherever we are listening, You are bringing rest. From London to New York, from Nairobi to Manila, Your Spirit is calming hearts and giving peace. Jesús, descanso en Tu paz y confío en Ti esta noche. Jesus Cristo, descanso na Tua paz e confio em Ti esta noite.  Jesus, nagpapahinga ako sa Iyong kapayapaan at ako’y ligtas sa Iyo.

Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, wherever you are in the world. Thank you for making daily prayer part of your life and part of your day, whatever your time zone is. I ask you to pause right now. It is the late night devotional prayer time. I know you're busy. I know you're weary. I know you're exhausted. I pray that you'll just lock in with me. We're praying out of the beautiful book of Psalms 4, verse 8. This is the title To Rest in Peace and Trust God with Tomorrow. Holy Spirit, Lord, I need to hand everything over to you right now. Lord, I want to pray for four areas of our lives. Lord, I want to pray for peace. I want to pray for hope and rest and a night covering. So Lord, right now, wherever we are across the world, we receive peace. We receive hope and rest. And Lord, we believe that that night covering is over our lives. We believe that the Spirit of the Lord is over our hearts. We believe the Spirit of the Lord is leading us in. But Lord, we're tired. Will you help us to close the laptop lid on today? Will you help us to close the curtains on this hour? Lord, as we go in to rest right now, Lord, as we get ourselves back into bed. Lord, it's been a long old day today. Holy Spirit, I pray that you will take away the drudgery, the fear, and the doubt and the worry. Lord, we stretch out from the four corners of the world. And Lord, we believe the beautiful prayers of David. Psalm 4, verse 8. In peace, I will lie down and sleep. For you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. Father, we thank you that we are dwelling in safety. But whatever the rhythm is, whatever the hour is, we are praying, Lord, that we will climb into bed and we will sleep. Father, whatever the scenario has been under the sun today, Lord, whatever the storms we've been through, whatever we've been carrying, Lord, we want to leave the storms at the cross, we want to leave the fears at the cross, and Lord, we want to leave the doubts at the cross. And Lord, we pick up the word of God. And right now we pause and we say, Jesus, I need healing. I need your presence. Lord, before I go to bed, I'm putting my trust in you. Lord, as I close my eyes, as I rest at this hour, Jesus, be with everyone. Holy Spirit, I believe that angels have been deployed. Lord, I believe that the psalmist right beautifully in Psalm 91 through this prayer time. For God has commanded his angels concerning you to guard you in all your ways, so that you will not strike your foot against a rock. They will lift you up, they will carry you. I pray that you will sleep well, that you will feel the love of God and the favor of God sitting over you right now. Lord, this is a night prayer for peace. Lord, this is a quiet moment where we need rest. Lord, will you calm the house down? Will you calm our minds right down? Help us to close the lid on today. Help us to draw the curtains on this hour. Lord, we need to sleep because Lord, we feel quite agitated. Lord, we feel, dear God, that there is grit in the system. And Lord, we need you. Lord, wherever we are right now in our lives, we need you. Whatever we are going through, we need you. From the battlefield to the boardroom, to the field of life. Fathers, we stretch out live from London, England, to London to New York, from New York to Manila, all the way, dear God, to Johannesburg, to Canada, to Israel, Jerusalem. We're praying for Bogota. Lord, let your love be around every nation, every heart. At this moment, we come to Jesus Christ and we pray. The Psalm 4, verse 8. In peace I will lie down and sleep. For you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety. Father, we're tired. Lord, we're weary. It's been a long old day today. Lord, we are trying to balance life, work, family, relationships. Lord, there's never enough hours in the day. But Father, thank you that you never leave us nor forsake us. So wherever we are right now, Lord, we pause and we say to one another, God is with us right now. We are not alone. We are safe in your presence. We are held in your care. So Father, across the world, wherever we are listening, bring rest to each and every one of our hearts tonight. In the beautiful name of Jesus Christ. The love of God is over you. The power of the Holy Spirit is living in your life. Don't ever give up. I pray as you close the curtains on this hour, as you close the laptop lid on today, that the love of God will carry you beautifully all the way through the evening, all the way through the night. And will you join me early in the morning as we gather around the Word of God for prayer? May the Spirit of the Lord carry you to a beautiful sleep tonight. God bless, and I will see you first thing in the morning.
