Psalm 91:1–2 — Rest Securely Under the Shadow of the Almighty Live from our studios in London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Hobart • Hamilton • Singapore • Birmingham, Alabama • Buenos Aires PROTECTION • SECURITY • PEACEFUL REST Good evening, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I’m Reverend Ben Cooper. Come in for five minutes, let’s open God’s Word together, and let’s pray. The day is gently drawing to a close. The conversations are becoming quieter, the pace is slowing and the night is beginning to settle around us. Whatever today has brought, there is deep comfort in knowing that while we prepare to rest, our Heavenly Father never grows weary, never looks away and never stops watching over His children. Tonight, you can rest in His faithful care. Psalm 91:1–2 (NIV) “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, ‘He is my refuge and my fortress, my God, in whom I trust.’” These words remind us that our security is found not in our circumstances but in the presence of God. His shelter is stronger than our fears, His faithfulness is greater than our uncertainties and His love remains constant through every hour of the night. So let’s quietly remind ourselves that fear will not win, because we are resting under the shadow of the Almighty, whose care never fails and whose promises never change. Father, thank You for Your protection throughout this day. Thank You for every unseen mercy, every answered prayer and every reminder that Your faithful hand has been upon our lives. Lord Jesus, watch over every listener tonight. Bring healing to those who are unwell, comfort to those who feel alone, peace to anxious minds and restful sleep to every weary heart. As we close our eyes, help us to trust completely in Your loving care and wake tomorrow with renewed hope. Holy Spirit, surround every home with Your peace, strengthen our faith and remind us that nothing is beyond Your loving care. Across the world, from Hobart to Hamilton, from Singapore to Birmingham and Buenos Aires, may every listener rest tonight beneath the shelter of the Almighty, knowing that Christ remains their refuge, their hope and their everlasting peace.

Welcome to Daily Prayer. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper coming to you live from our studios in London, England. Let's open God's word together and let's pray together. Come on, we've made it. How are you feeling? I hope you're well. It's been a long day at work, at home, looking after the children. Whatever you have been doing, let's hold it together.

Psalm 91 Shelter And Rest

SPEAKER_00

We're in Psalm 91, verse 1. This is the title of the late night devotional prayer time together. Rest securely under the shadow of the Almighty. Holy Spirit, help us to rest. Lord, life has been very frantic, been very chaotic. Lord, we are listening to the political words. We're listening to the rhythm of the season of whatever nation we're in right now. Lord, we're listening to the shipping lanes of life. Father, we're listening, dear God, to the war cry. Holy Spirit, I pray that we will not react to the atmosphere of the world. And Lord, that we will not move in the way of the world, that we won't conform to the pattern of the world. But right now, we will find security under the shadow of the Almighty. I pray, dear God, that we will live in the presence of Jesus. Lord, I pray that we will live in the presence of the King through the living word of God. And Lord, I thank you that the kingdom of God is within each and every one of us. And as we come out, as we step up and step out into the great prayers of David, Psalm 91, Father, we thank you that whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the

Let Go Of Fear And Doubt

SPEAKER_00

Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge, my fortress, my God in whom I trust. Lord, help me to make you my refuge. Help me, dear God, to surrender. Help me, dear God, to be like that athlete on the track to let go of that baton. Lord, I need to let go. Lord, if I keep holding on to that baton, Lord, I won't get to the end of the race of life. Because Lord, I need to let go and let God. And wherever we are right now, Lord, we are on a fierce run. Lord, the run of life, the track of life. Holy Spirit, Lord, as we run around the track of life, Lord, we are at full stretch. We are tired. And there are certain areas of our lives that we got to be like that athlete in the relay race. Lord, we got to let go of the baton of fear, the baton of doubt, the baton of weariness, the baton of life. Holy Spirit, that baton represents so much. And I pray that wherever we are, Lord, that we will learn to rest in Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Savior. Lord, I pray that we will speak this beautiful prayer over our lives. Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my refuge, my fortress, my God in whom I trust. Help me to trust you more and more. Help me, dear God, to walk in your presence more and more. And Lord, as we stretch out, Lord, at this late hour, Lord, we are tired, we are weary. As we stretch out live from London, England, all the way to Hamilton, Singapore, all the way to Alabama, Buenos Aires, all the way, dear God, we thank you for New Zealand, Australia.

Prayer For Peaceful Sleep Worldwide

SPEAKER_00

We pray for an outpouring of your spirit. Lord, we come to you in these four to five minutes. Lord, I ask you that the conversations that we had will become quieter and quieter, and the pace of life will slow down. Lord, calm our hearts right now. Lord, I pray that your loving arms will be wrapped around each and every one of us. Lord, that we will feel your presence. And Lord, I ask you that you will prepare us, that we will sleep all the way through tonight. And as we stretch out, Lord, I thank you that the love of God is over our lives and whatever we are going through. Lord, whatever season we are in right now, I pray for the spring, the summer, the autumn. Lord, whatever rhythm we are going through, whatever the attitude is, whatever the emotion is, Lord, I ask you for peace. And Lord, as we gather, Lord God, to rest from the battlefield to the boardroom, to the dance of life, to the walls of life. Lord, as we climb the rock face of life, whatever we are going through, I pray that you will bless everyone under the sound of my voice, that their sleep will be sweet. Remind us that angels have been deployed because the God of Israel cares for each and every one of us. Lord, from the four corners of this world, will you breathe over us tonight? Because Lord, we need to sleep. We're tired, we are weary. Help us to close the lid of the laptop. Help us, Lord, to turn the key on the office. Help us, Lord, to gather our thoughts in the greatest name in heaven and earth. And I pray that your heart will be healed as you continue the journey with the God above all gods. You are healed, you are blessed and highly favored. Find that courage, find that strength in Jesus
