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 the rhythm of your day. We're in the early evening devotional prayer time, and I invite you to pause and to be still. I know you're busy, there is a lot going on, but we're praying out of the great book of Proverbs, chapter 3, verse 5. This is the title To Trust God's Direction When I Need Guidance and Clarity in My Decisions. Father, we have got decisions on the table of life. And Lord, we are trying to work out the puzzle of life. And Lord, there are many pieces missing. Holy Spirit, I pray that you will help us to see the picture, the puzzle, come to completion in the great name of Jesus Christ. And we are praying at this early evening devotional time that I need clarity in decisions. Lord, we need wisdom. Right now, Lord, it's been a long day. Lord, it is an early evening, and we are tired and we got fatigue. And Father, I pray as we walk through the beautiful book of Proverbs, chapter 3, verse 5. Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding and in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your path straight. Father, I need an area of my life refreshing and being renewed. Lord, I need to submit my ways to you. Because Lord, sometimes it's 50-50, sometimes it's 70-30, sometimes, Lord, it's 90-10. And Lord, I don't want to tell the world what way around that is, but Lord, we all understand that sometimes we try to work it out on our own. But Lord, sometimes my life becomes messy and very fragile. So Lord, right now I choose to pause and be still. And Father, I thank you that we are learning to submit our lives to Jesus Christ. Jesus, I bring before you the decisions I need to make, the areas where I feel unsecure, the places where I feel very stuck in life. I am seeking clarity, purpose, and hope. And I place these into your hands. I release the pressure, dear God, for you to work this out. Because Lord, I'm smiling right now. Because Lord, we can't work this out. Lord, we're tired and we're weary. Lord, I release this fear, but Lord, as I say that, I still feel the fear rising. And Lord, why is this, Jesus? Lord, help us to get out of certain circles of our lives. Help us, Lord, to find the way forward. Father, we pause right now. And Jesus, will you strengthen us? Because we're tired and we're weary. Holy Spirit, we come to you. Lord, we need clarity. Lord, we need direction in our lives. Direct my steps. Align my heart with your will, your purpose. Lord, I want to trust your voice above all others. Holy Spirit, we lean in to the greatest book in heaven and earth. And Lord, as we stretch out, Lord, we pause, we be still, and we focus. Lord, we are trusting God's direction when I need guidance, clarity in my decisions. Give us wisdom. But Lord, as we pray out live from London, England, where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Father, we thank you as we pray out from London, all the way to Atlanta, all the way to Mumbai, South Korea, North Korea, Japan, Singapore, Hong Kong, Taiwan, we are praying, Lord, for the love of God over every nation, every tribe, every tongue, Spirit of the Living God, whatever battles, whatever fears, whatever doubts we are going through, Lord, as this early evening starts to unfold, give us strength in the name of Jesus, wherever we are, from the battlefield to the field of life. Father, if if you can, please make a way. God, if you can, please, Lord, that sounds like the voice of Philip. That sounds like the voice of the disciples. If you can, Lord, that sounds like Mary and Martha with their brother's death before their very eyes. Lord, if you can, Lord, if you were here, my brother wouldn't be dead. Spirit of the living God, we pray that we will have more faith to trust God's direction, your decisions for our lives. But Lord, let's remind ourselves what Mary and Martha and the family and the world see. Jesus says this sickness will not end unto death. Lazarus come forth. There are new beginnings for each and every one of us in the greatest name in heaven and earth. I know we're in the early evening devotional prayer time, but let's trust God for direction when I need guidance and clarity in my life. Father, give us wisdom, give us strength as we pedal out. I invite you to stay with me for the next prayer. Have a beautiful early evening. God bless, and I'll catch you soon.
