Finding Peace Through Psalm 46 And Proverbs 3

Sunday night can be the loudest part of the week: tomorrow’s pressures, today’s exhaustion, and a mind that will not stop replaying old files. We slow everything down and pray together for about 45 minutes, asking God to meet you exactly where you are and to remind you of a simple truth from Psalm 46: God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

We move through key Bible passages that speak to real life and real mental load. Proverbs 3:5 becomes a practical prayer about trust, letting go of the need to work everything out, and refusing to live by the emotional swing of the world around us. We also name anxiety directly and pray Philippians 4:6 over worried thoughts, panic, and the feeling of carrying too much, asking for the peace of God to guard your heart and mind. When the week ahead feels daunting, Joshua 1:9 calls us back to courage, and Matthew 11:28 and Psalm 23 offer rest, still waters, and the Shepherd’s care for the weary.

We also share communion in a simple, accessible way, reminding you that breaking bread is not confined to a building. If you have bread and a drink to hand, you can join from your home, your car, your workplace, or wherever you are listening across the world. Subscribe for more daily prayer, share this with someone who needs strength tonight, and if this helps you, leave a review and tell us what you want us to pray for next.  We pray together on a Sunday evening for strength, peace, and a steady mind as a new week approaches. We lean on Psalm 46, Proverbs 3, and the promises of Jesus to help us let go of fear, anxiety, and the weight we carry.

Psalm 46 God Our Refuge

SPEAKER_00 1:03

going to jump straight through to the beautiful book of Psalms 46, verse 1. Come on, let's pray together. Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before you right now. And Lord, as we sit in the stillness, as we rest in the arms of Christ, Lord, wherever we are across this world, Lord, will you just remind us that you are our God and our refuge, that you are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, that you are the great I am. And Lord, wherever we are at this hour, Lord, whatever the situation is, whatever we are going through, Lord, we pray for your grace, we pray for your mercy. But Lord, just remind us tonight, Lord, that all things are possible to those who believe. And wherever we are, Lord, we thank you for the beautiful prayers of David, Psalm 46, verse 1. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Father, we pray for whatever troubles, whatever fears, whatever worries we are going through at this hour. Wherever we are, Lord, whether we connect through the power of radio, social media, dear God, Lord, I just pray as we see the cross, dear God, just down the lens at the end of the church, right there, Lord, of those candles. Father, we thank you that there's always hope. There's always hope, Lord, and there's always an answer through the word of God. And we realize at this hour that God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. And we come before the cross tonight. And we say, Jesus, will you strengthen us as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death? Holy Spirit, I pray for such an outpouring of your love and your grace and your favor over our lives. Lord, that you will just strengthen every listener, Lord, wherever they are. Lord, that they will find healing and mercy and blessings. Lord, I just pray that it will rain tonight, Lord. That your love will just rain down over each and every one of us, that we will feel your presence, your goodness. Lord, that you will just pour out your spirit over each and every one of us. But Lord, through the prayers of David, Lord, through the Psalms of David 46, verse 1, God is our refuge and strength. Father, we thank you that you are ever-present, help in trouble. Lord, when we go to work, when we live our lives, at school, in education, at home, through relationships, wherever we are, Lord, whatever is coming to the front door of our lives, we just pray, dear God, that you will strengthen us and carry us in the greatest name in heaven and earth and in the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow, under the earth, through the earth, every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord. And Father, we recognize through the prayers, through the Psalms of David, Psalm 46, verse 1, Lord, that you are our rock, that God is our refuge, and you are our strength. And Lord, we pray at this hour, Lord, for those that need strength, those, dear God, that need carrying through life. Lord, that you will strengthen us and help us in our time of trouble, Father, that the love of God will just cascade down over each and every one of us. Lord, that you will draw us into your presence and into your love. Lord, we believe in miracles. We believe in the power of the word of God. And right now, Lord, we thank you that fear is just removing itself. Doubt is disappearing right now, Lord. And the love of God is over our lives. So, Father, I just pray for strength and grace and mercy. Lord, that your mercy will abound over our lives. Lord, we believe that God is our refuge and strength. And for those that are weary tonight, those that are scared tonight, those that are doubtful tonight, those that are uncertain at this hour, wherever we are, whatever the colour, whatever the culture, whatever the rhythm, whoever we are, Lord, we pray that the love of God and the presence of Jesus Christ will just come down over our lives. Lord, that you will strengthen us, Lord, from the crown of our head to the very sole of our feet. Lord, you are Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom. And Lord, we recognize that there is power in the name of Jesus, that you are our refuge. You are our God. You are Jehovah Jirah, the Lion of Judah, the King of the Jews, the lamb that was slain. Father, so strengthen us tonight, Lord, for those that just feel weary, those that feel scared and uncertain. Lord, we pray for stability in our lives. We just pray, dear God, that you'll keep us stable. Lord, we don't want to live our lives by emotions. We don't want to live our lives by the rhythm of the political drive. Lord, we don't want to live our lives by the rhythm of the way of the world. Lord, we want to live our lives in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, we want to live by faith. And wherever we are right now, Lord, we thank you that we are learning to walk by faith. So Lord, I pray, Lord, that you will just reveal yourself to each and every one of us. Lord, that the love of God will just be revealed to every listener scattered across this world. Lord, as we connect under the sound of my voice. Lord, I just pray, Lord, that we will realize that you are our refuge, you are our strength, an ever-present helping trouble. So Lord, wherever we are scattered across this world, we pray for the love of God, the presence of Jesus Christ. Will just touch our hearts, our minds, our bodies, and our souls, Lord. And Lord, will you help us, Lord, to trust in the Lord with all of our heart? Father,

Proverbs 3 Trust Not Yourself

SPEAKER_00 6:10

as the great writer of Proverbs writes in chapter 3, verse 5, trust in the Lord with all of your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, and he will make your path straight. Holy Spirit, I just pray that you will help us whatever season we're in, whatever rhythm we're in, whatever circle, whatever the track of life looks like. I just pray, dear God, that we will trust in the Lord through every situation, every decision. Lord, I pray, Lord, that we won't live, dear God, in the in the cupboard of yesterday. Lord, that we won't live in the filing draw, dear God, that you will sweep for our mind. Lord, Holy Spirit, Lord, we ask you, dear God, that you will deal with our mind, Lord, where we file things away. Just like an office filing system, Lord, our mind seems to hold on to so much stuff. So Lord, will you deal with our mental health tonight? Will you sweep for our mind tonight, Lord? Will you deal with that filing draw? Will you, dear God, just sweep through the office cupboard, our head, our mind, our cognitive processing? Lord, sweep through, Lord, because we need to trust in our Father, trust in the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And Lord, our mind sometimes just pray plays tricks on us, Lord. And Father, we ask you that you'll sweep through our heart tonight. Our mind tonight, our thinking tonight. That filing drawer, Lord, where we got everything stacked away. That mind, dear God, Lord, I just pray, dear God, that you'll close that drawer once and for all. Turn the key, Lord. Lord, help us to hand over the key tonight. The key of the filing drawer of the mind. Lord, where we got so much stuff just stacked up yesterday, a week, six months ago, two years, three years, ten years, Lord, our mind is still dragging up the filing system of yesterday. Holy Spirit, we don't want to live in the filing drawer. We don't want to live in our history, Lord. We want to live in our destiny. And Lord, we believe that shackles are gone because of the cross of Calvary. Because there is freedom. You will know the truth and the truth will set us free. So Lord, I thank you that there is freedom in Jesus. And wherever we are situated across this world, Lord, I pray that we will walk in our destiny steps. Lord, because we are learning to trust in you with all of our heart. Lord, we're learning not to lean on our own understanding and to trust self and to walk in the political drive and to live by the way of the world and to live by what the world is saying. Father, because you tell us through Scripture, do not conform to the pattern of the world, but have your minds transformed by the renewing of Christ. So Lord, I pray right now, Lord, as we started off in the prayers of David, Psalm 46, 1, God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. And Lord, as we gently move forward to Proverbs 3:5, trust in the Lord with all of your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, but in all of your ways. Submit our lives to Him and He will make our path straight. Father, will you help us? Whatever season we're in right now, Lord, for many that are in the winter, the spring, the summer, the autumn. Lord, as we go through the winter season, Lord, where it's dark and scary and worrying. Lord, where the days are just so short and the days are so grey. And then Lord, we go through the summer days where the sun is so intense. Father, then we got the spring, digger, when the weather is changing. Lord, I just pray right now for the autumn of our lives. Lord, whatever season we are going through, whatever rhythm we're walking through right now, we believe in miracles. We believe whatever season we're in. Lord, maybe we're in the desert of our life, Lord, where everything feels just really spiritually dry. Lord, if anyone feels spiritually dry, I pray tonight, Lord, that you will give us that living water. That living water, Lord, you tell us that you are the way, the truth, the life. No one comes to the Father except through thee. So right now, Lord, we're thirsty. Lord, we're thirsty for living water. Lord, because we feel pretty parched and pretty dry, Lord. Spiritually dry. Lord, the UK Father is very dry, spiritually dry. And Lord, I pray for a blessing over every nation, every town, every village. Lord, wherever we're capturing my voice, Holy Spirit, Lord, just let your love just rain down on us right now. But Lord, I pray, Lord, that the rhythm of God will just carry us through seasons of our lives. And for every battle, for every fear, Lord, for every doubt that goes through our mind. Help us to trust in the Lord with all of our heart and to lean not on our own understanding, but in all of our ways, to acknowledge the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Father, we pray for stress on this Sunday evening. We pray, dear God, for fear of getting back into work tomorrow, getting back to school, getting back in the rhythm of life. Holy Spirit, I pray that you'll carry every heart tonight, that you'll stir lives, that you'll strengthen every human being that's with me on the social medias, on RB Christian Radio. Lord, as we look down the lens and we see the cross just on the backdrop, Father, we thank you for the cross of Calvary. We thank you that the scriptures have been fulfilled. Spirit of the Living God, we pray, Lord, that you will lead us into a greater prayer life. Lord, that we will call on the God of David, that we will call on the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, that you are Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom. You are the Lion of Judah. And right now, Lord, we pray for peace. We pray for world peace. We pray, dear God, that there will be peace at home, in lives, at work, at school, wherever we are, whatever is going on in our lives at this hour, Lord, we pray for peace. We pray that your mercy will just abound over families, over individuals right now. Holy Spirit, I pray that you will deal with mental health, Lord. Our thoughts, dear God, our cognitive processing, the way, dear God, we try to work situations out, the jigsaw puzzle of life. Holy Spirit, help us, Lord, not to keep searching, dear God, for those missing pieces, but Lord, not to trust, dear God, in our own understanding, but to walk with Jesus. So Lord, I pray that you'll help us to let go of our worries and our fears. To let go and just to let God take full charge. Help us to let go of everything, the fears, the worries, the doubts, the uncertainties. Lord, the rhythm of life is really fierce. Lord, life sometimes, Jesus, can be really scary. Lord, life can be uncertain. Lord, the yo-yo in effect, the ins and the outs and the seasons and the rhythm of life. Spirit of the living God, will you just carry us wherever we are? We need the presence of God. We need the presence of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Lord, it's been a long day today. We're weary and we're tired. And a new week is upon us tomorrow. The working week starts. Father, I pray that the love of God will just cascade down over each and every one of us. And Lord, as we pray through Psalms 46, you are our refuge, you are our strength. Lord, as we just pray through Proverbs 3, 5, trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not on your own understanding, but in all your ways, submit to him, and he will make your path straight. For Lord, I just pray, Lord, that you'll give us strength. Lord, that you'll give us strength to keep pressing in, to keep pushing, dear God.

Joshua 1 Strength For The Week

SPEAKER_00 13:58

I pray, dear God, as we just walk through Joshua chapter 1, verse 9. Be strong and courageous. Whatever you are facing in life, whatever you are going through, whatever valley, whatever mountain, whatever river you've got across, I believe in miracles. Do you believe in miracles? Miracles happen. There is power in the name of Jesus. Holy Spirit, we pray that Joshua 1 verse 9 will come alive in our spirit tonight. Lord, I pray that Joshua 1 verse 9, that we will be strong and we will be courageous. And Lord, that we will recognize that the Lord our God will be with us wherever we go. Lord, that we're not orphans, that we have a heavenly father. And for those that are struggling, Lord, with life, with prayer life, with church, with ministry, with reading the scripture, I pray, Lord, that you will strengthen each and every one of us, that we will find our foothold in the Word of God. Holy Spirit, help us to be strong and courageous as you told Joshua and Caleb to be strong and courageous. Never to let this book of the Lord depart from your mouth, but to meditate on it day and night. Holy Ghost, help us to meditate on the Word of God, to take the Word in through our ear gate, our eye gate. Holy Spirit, will you be that comforter that the word speaks about? Because Lord, there's a lot of fear across the planet right now. Lord, there is a lot of uncertainty across the world right now. Father, we're hearing wars, rumors of wars, famines, desolations, and Lord, I just pray that you'll strengthen every human being that's online with me right now. Father, that we will find a rhythm, that we will find a place to rest our hearts, and his name is Jesus. Lord, I believe that you are calling us tonight. Father, I thank you, Lord, that you're not requiring us to get to church. You're not requiring us to get to a cathedral. Lord, you're just calling us by name. Because before the foundations of the world, God knew you. Before the world was spoken into existence, God knew you. You're in his plan, you're in his heart. The Spirit of the Lord is calling you right now. He's not calling you to church, he's not calling you to religion. He's calling you to be a Jesus follower. Help us, Lord, just to follow Jesus, to follow the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, the God of Israel, the Father of Isaac, Jacob, and Abraham. Father, I pray that you'll give us strength, Lord. Just like you told Joshua, be strong and courageous. For the Lord thy God will be with you wherever you go. Lord, you've not abandoned us. Lord, you've not left us on the wayside of life. Lord, we are grafted into the vine, and nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. Holy Spirit, I pray for those that are carrying fear tonight, those that are carrying uncertainty, panic attacks, and doubt. Lord, as we've prayed already, Lord, help us to let go and to let gone. Help us to let go of the baggage, the worries, the fears, the doubts, the uncertainties of life. And just to hand everything over to you. Lord, it's easy for us to say. But Lord, will you help me, dear God, to deliver this? Will you help me, dear God, just to let go? Lord, we got suitcases, we got rucksacks on our back, Lord, that are just weighing us down. Lord, we got fatigue, we're tired, and we're weary, and we're exhausted. But Father, there is hope tonight. There is hope. There is redemption, that salvation is over our lives, that we are blessed and highly favored, wonderfully and fearfully made. And Lord, we're praying for such an outpouring of your spirit that the Spirit of the Lord will carry us, Lord. Lord, I believe, Lord, that we are walking in our destiny steps. I believe, Lord, that the best is before each and every one of us, that the old is gone, the new has come. And right now, Lord, I pray that you will help us to be strong and courageous, just as you commanded Joshua. Be strong and courageous. Whatever you are going through right now, whatever you are experiencing tonight, whatever you have gone through, whatever you're coming through, don't ever give up. Just remind yourself that you are grafted into the vine, and nothing can separate you from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus, and all things are possible to those who believe. Just close your eyes tonight and just believe. Just believe in Yahweh, Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom. Just believe in the Lion of Judah. As Jesus called the two disciples on the shoreline of the Lake of Galilee, he said, drop your nets, just come and follow me. He didn't say go to church. He didn't say get yourself to a cathedral. He didn't say jump in ministry. He just said come and follow me. And I believe God is calling us back to basics. Just come and follow me. Read the word. Trust me. Lord, help us to surrender our lives to you at this hour. Help us, Lord, to be strong and courageous. Not to look at the platform of the world, not to look at society and culture. Lord, help us not to lock on to the news channels, the headlines, the political drive, the agenda of the world, the one world government, the one world order. Holy Spirit, Lord, help us to focus on Jesus, to do as the Hebrew writer told us. Keep your eyes on Jesus, the author and the perfecter of your faith. Keep your eyes on Jesus. But Lord, that's so difficult to do, Father. Lord, the world is so busy, the world is so chaotic, life is so fast. Lord, help me to keep my eyes on Jesus. But Jesus is calling you. He's calling you to be strong, he's calling you to be courageous. He's calling you to stand up and to rise on wings as of eagles. There is a destiny and there is a hope for you wherever you are. But don't be trapped, don't get caught in a net of the world. Don't get caught in the fishing net of life. There is a greater plan for your life. Jeremiah 29, 11. For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord. Plans to give you a hope and a future. Plans not to harm you, but to prosper you. There is a plan you are grafted into the redemption plan. God loves you. The Spirit of the Lord is in your life. You are anointed. You are blessed and highly favored. And the Spirit of the Lord is calling you. And Jesus is saying, Come, come to me, all of you that are weary, tired, exhausted, burnt out. Lord, I pray for anyone that is experiencing burnt out, that just feels burnt out, weary, tired, got no energy, got no strength, worried about today, worried about tomorrow, worried about this hour, worried about the financial stretch, worried about work, worried about the children, relationships. Father, I pray for those that just feel washed out, exhausted, worn out of life. I thank you, Lord, that we are rising on wings as of eagles. And Lord, help us to not go by our emotions, but to live by faith. So, Lord, I pray that you will draw us into a greater prayer life. Lord, that we will worship you in spirit and in truth. That the power of God will just come down and cascade over our lives, Lord. Lord, we want it to rain. Lord, we want your glory to rain down on our lives tonight. We want your presence to lift us. We want your mercy, Father, just to just to refresh us and to restore us. Come, Lord. Come, Holy Spirit, Lord, wherever we are tonight, whatever the time zone is, wherever we are across the world, I pray for miracles. I pray that the hand of the Lord will strengthen you, that the glory of God will carry you. That you will walk in your anointing, that you will walk in your calling, that you will see the goodness of God. He is calling you. Again, let's just remind ourselves, through the power of prayer, Lord, you're not calling us to church. You're not calling us to the cathedrals. You're not calling us to religion. You're calling us to the kingdom. So, Father, we thank you that we are grafted into the vine and nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. But Lord, help us to realize that you are our God and our refuge and strength. Lord, help us to trust in the Lord with all of our heart and not to lean on our own understanding, and help us to walk in the strength of the anointing that you've called us to walk in. Help us to find that strength. Help us to be courageous, Lord, and to meditate on your word day and night. Lord, you tell us and you tell Joshua, do not let this book of the Lord depart from your mouth. Meditate on it day and night. Lord, help us to meditate on scripture.

Simple Prayers When Words Fail

SPEAKER_00 23:22

Lord, I pray, Lord, that we will get a hold of Matthew 6, the Lord's Prayer. If anyone is in trouble tonight, if anyone is scared tonight, anyone is weary and can't pray, turn to the beautiful Lord's Prayer, our Father in heaven. Hallowed be thy name. Lord, that prayer is dynamite. Lord, that prayer is power. That prayer is anointing. That prayer, dear God, will break the yoke. That prayer, dear God, will destroy the work of the enemy. That word will bring healing. Father, we believe in healing. And Lord, we are healed from the crown of our head to the very sole of our feet, Lord. There is healing in our bodies tonight. There is healing in our mind tonight. Anxiety is gone. Fear is gone. Lord, we're walking in freedom. Lord, we're walking in freedom tonight because you tell us you will know the truth and the truth will set you free. Lord, wherever we are, lead us to the cross. Lord, as we look at the cross at the bottom end of the church through the power of the camera, through the power of technology. Lord, as we see that cross, Father, we thank you that Jesus Christ went to the cross and the scriptures are fulfilled, and we're walking in redemption, and we are redeemed. We have been bought with a price. And God loves you. The Spirit of the Lord is over your life. You're grafted into the vine. You are saved. You are a child of the living God. It doesn't matter what the world says about us. It doesn't matter about what friends say about us. It doesn't matter about what culture says. It doesn't matter about what family and what work says about us. You know, maybe we've lost our identity because the world is calling us and the world is trying to manipulate us. Maybe there are narcissistic people in our lives that are trying to dictate to us. Father, will you help us to break through? Lord, will you help us to break out, dear God, of monotony? Will you help us to walk in freedom? Lord, will you help us to walk in the power of the anointing that you've called us to walk in? Father, we come to you, Lord, across the world tonight. And Lord, we lean into Scripture. We lean into Jesus.

Anxiety And Peace Philippians 4

SPEAKER_00 25:46

And Lord, we pray for those, dear God, that are anxious at this hour. Jesus is calling and speaking through Philippians 4, verse 6. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything. Present your request to God by prayer and supplication. And the peace of God will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Holy Spirit, we pray for anxiety tonight. We pray, dear God, for mental health. We pray, dear God, for emotional stability. Lord, help us to be stable, to find a place to rest our hearts. Lord, we pray for every heart that feels scared and worried. Every mind, dear God, the battlefield of the mind, Lord, the wasteland of the mind, the desert of the mind, Lord. Holy Spirit, Lord, I just ask you that you'll sweep for our mind, the filing draw. Lord, our mind is a filing drawer, Lord, and we've got so much stacked in that filing draw. Lord, we've got everything stacked in that Lord. We've got every scenario under the sun, Lord, in the filing drawer of the mind. And Lord, help us to let go and let God. And help us not to be anxious for anything, but just to hand our lives, our situations over to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Deal with this anxiety, deal with the panic attacks, deal with the fears and the doubts. Holy Spirit, just release your glory over our lives. Let your peace just cascade down over each and every one of us, Lord. Father, bring peace tonight. Bring peace to hearts and help us not to be anxious about anything. Every situation, Lord, is giving us trouble right now. Every thought, Father God, is weighing us down. So, Lord, we need freedom. And you tell us very clearly you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. Sir, at this hour, wherever we are, Spirit of the Living God, we call on the name of Jesus. We call on the greatest name in heaven and earth. We say, Father, just release your glory. Holy Spirit, carry us tonight. Lord, we feel like we've come to the end of the tarmac of life. Lord, it feels like we've come to the end of the road and we don't know what to do. We don't know how to deal with certain situations. Lord, we're living in discouragement. We're living in fear. We're living in doubt. Lord, we're we're trying to smile and we're hurting and we're crying and we're in pain. Lord, I pray for every broken heart, every tear on someone's cheek tonight. All those, dear God, that just feel lost in society. God is calling you and God loves you. There is a plan for your life. There is a hope. There is a future. Shall we rise on wings as of eagles? Above the cloud line of fear, of doubt, and worry. Let's not live in discouragement. Let's not live in the way and the rhythm of the world. Let's not live in the devil's playground. Let's live in the kingdom of God. Let's live in his presence. Let's call on Jehovah. Let's call on the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. Let's worship. There is power in the name of Jesus. There are promises beyond human understanding. The scriptures have been fulfilled. And God is calling you. And God loves you wherever you are at this hour. The Bible says in Isaiah 41, verse 10, so do not fear, for I am with you. I will strengthen you and help you. Lord, we come against fear. We come against the panic attacks, the doubts, the worries, the uncertainties. And Lord, we call on that name. We call on Jehovah. We call on Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Nisi, Jehovah Rapha. The Lion of Judah. Lord, we want to hear the Lion of Judah echoing down the corridor of our lives. Holy Spirit, Lord, help us to be strong. Help us to stand up, Lord. Lord, help us to find our footing. As the scripture says through the psalmist, that He gives us the feet as of a dear to hold that place on the rock face of life. Just on the rock face. Help us to hold that place right now, Lord. Lord, help us not to live in fear and to live in doubt. But Lord, help us to realize that you will strengthen us, that you will carry us, that there is power in that great name. And we carry a name. And Lord, just remind us, as the beautiful New Testament tells us, perfect love drives out all fear. Perfect love drives out all fear. Holy Spirit, let us feel the love of God like never before in our lives. Holy Spirit, let us feel your mercy and your grace tonight, Lord. Lord, we pray, Father, that we will walk in the goodness of God. In favor, Lord, that we will walk in favor and power and anointing. And wherever we are, Lord, that we won't allow fear and discouragement to carry us. But Lord, that we'll walk in the goodness of God and we will see the fire of God and the anointing of God. And there will be favor over our hearts and our minds tonight. Holy Spirit. Lord, just bring us to the cross. Lord, just get us to the cross tonight, Father. At home, driving, commuting, crisscrossing the world, wherever we are tonight, Lord. Father, just get us to the cross. Father, get us to your presence. Lord, meet us exactly where we are. And Jesus is calling you. Matthew

Rest For The Weary Psalm 23

SPEAKER_00 31:52

11, 28. Come to me, all of you that are weary and burdened. And I will give you rest. Do you need rest tonight? Are you exhausted? Are you just hitting that wall and you don't know what way to turn? Turn to Jesus. Don't turn to the church. Don't turn to religion. Turn to the word of God. Open up the Bible and turn to the Psalms. Psalm 23. The Lord is my shepherd. I shall not be in want. He makes me lie down in green pastures. He leadeth me beside still waters. Holy Spirit, lead us beside still waters tonight. Father, we need a calm heart and a steady mind. Lord, you are our shepherd. You are our guide. You are our healer. You are Jehovah Rapha. God, we need you. Lord, the land, dear God, the land needs you. Lord, this earth, we need you in our cities, and we need you in our towns. We need you in our government. Holy Spirit, I pray for the UK government tonight, Lord. I pray, dear God, that you will bless us with a government that believes in Jesus Christ. Holy Spirit, Lord, as we live in very uncertain days, whatever nation we're in, whatever tribe we come from, whatever town we live in, whatever colour, whatever culture, whatever the rhythm of our life is reflecting, Lord, we pray for our governments. Lord, give us governments that believe in Jesus Christ. Give us leaders, Lord, that will lead us in paths of righteousness. Father, but right now, Lord, just visit each and every one of us right where we are. Right where we are, Lord. Carry these heavy hearts. Carry, Lord, those that are weary and tired and exhausted and worn out. Jesus is calling you. Matthew 11. Matthew 11, 28. Come to me. All of you that are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Are you exhausted? Are you spiritually drawn? Have you hit that wall? Hit that place. And you're just curled up like a ball. And you're just under the duvet. Lord, I don't want to move. I don't want to get into work. I don't want to leave the house. I don't want to talk to no one. Holy Spirit, I pray that you will turn lives around tonight. And the fire of God will just burn in our belly. That the fire of God will burn in our heart. Lord, I pray that you'll carry us as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death. And we will fear no evil because you are with us, your rod and your staff, they comfort us. Where we are across this world, Holy Spirit, strengthen us tonight. Holy Spirit, strengthen each and every one of us. Lord, refresh our souls, refresh our hearts and our minds, Lord. Father, just bring your glory tonight, Lord. Holy Spirit, just reveal yourself. Holy Spirit, reveal yourself to each and every one of us, every heart, every mind. Lord, we believe in miracles. We believe that you are Jehovah. You are the Lion of Judah. You are the God above all gods, the King above all kings. Holy Spirit, bring peace. Bring divine peace tonight, Lord. Heal bodies tonight. Lord, make a way where there seems to be no way. Lord, we thank you that shackles are gone, fear is gone, doubt is gone, and we're walking in freedom. We're walking in the power of God. We're walking in your anointing, your goodness, your grace and your favor. Holy Spirit, wherever we are across this world, just carry heavy hearts, Lord. Strengthen us and be with us, Lord. Just let your grace abound over us. Father, we thank you that mercy and favor and anointing is cascading down over each and every one of us. Holy Spirit, Lord, wherever we are, just give us the strength to keep pressing in. But Lord, we believe that there is a turnaround tonight. We believe that there is breakthrough, that the walls of Jericho are falling. Lord, we believe that Goliath has fallen. We believe that you are part in the Red Sea, the river Jordan. Lord, we're about to go through on dry ground. We're about to receive the promises of God. We're about to get on the plains of Jericho. The Spirit of the Lord is over you.

Communion Anywhere Bread And Cup

SPEAKER_00 36:56

And I'm inviting you right now, just to pause in life, and we're going to break bread in about two minutes or so. Have you got any bread? Have you got a bit of bread that we're going to take communion together? We just got a wafer. A bit of bread. Have you got a bit of grape juice? Can you grab something a bit quickly? Just saying so simple. In a few minutes, we're just going to break bread and we're going to take out a cup. Because we don't need to be in church to do that. We don't need to be in a cathedral. We don't need to be in a religious box. You can be sitting on your patio. You can be sitting in your transit van. You can be sitting in a field. You can be sitting on the edge of your bed. But I invite you to join me in about two to three minutes. We're going to break bread in the name of Jesus. Because it's not a church activity, it's not a religious drive. It's what Jesus told us to do. As often as you gather together and we're gathering online. We're gathering across the world. And God is calling you right now. Don't ever give up. Fear is never going to win. Fear is never going to take us out. Fear is never going to get a hold of us. Because you have been called and there is a purpose and there is a destiny for your life. And there is a hope and there is a future. And you are saved. And guess what? We haven't got to get to church. We haven't got to get to that religious box Sunday after Sunday. Service after service. Yes, I understand there is a place for church. But you are saved. You were saved before the church was even in existence. You was created by the fabric of the world. The Bible says, I knew you before the foundation of the world. God loves you, and you're grafted into the vine. So will you break bread with me? Let's remind ourselves it's not a religious exercise. This is freedom. You can break bread, you can take a cup wherever you are, even at work, even sitting at your desk, even at school. You can take bread and wine wherever you are. Because it is a commandment. And we first start hearing a sound. In Exodus chapter 12, when God spoke to Moses about the Passover, God is calling us right now. God is calling you, and God is with you wherever you are. Don't ever give up. There is a way forward. Just breathe right now and just gather your thoughts. Come on, join me. Let's get some bread. Just a bit of bread. Hasn't got to be blessed by the bishop. Hasn't got to be blessed by pastors and leaders. Because it is symbolic and it is representing the body of Jesus. Representing the body of Jesus Christ who went to the cross for you and for me. And salvation is a free gift. And we are saved because of the cross of Calvary, because of the redemption plan, not because of church, not because of the archbishops, not because of any ritual that the church has done. You are saved because God decided to save you. And He's given you the gift of salvation. Father, I thank you for this bread. This is just bread in itself. But Lord, I just thank you for what it represents. The body of Christ. I thank you, Father, that your body was broken for me and for everybody across the world. And Lord, as we break bread together right now, Lord, Father, let your love and your grace just abound in the name of Jesus. Lord, let your grace and your mercy just abound over each and every one of us, Lord. And Father, we come to you right now. And Lord, we break this bread together. And we hold it and we pause at one moment. And we just say, Jesus, I thank you that I'm a sinner saved by grace. I'm a sinner saved by grace. It's that easy. Because you chose. You chose to save us, to give us the free gift of salvation. Through your Son Jesus Christ, through the living word. Father, bless this bread as we take it now in Jesus' name. It's simple, it's easy. It's not a religious exercise. You haven't got to go to church to do it. You haven't got to get in a religious box. You can do it at home right now. Maybe you can do it later when you get back from work, wherever. Just sit in your front room, sit on your chair, sit on your porch, sit on your patio, sit in your van, sit in your car, on the train, wherever you are. So Lord, we hold this cup. And Lord, it's just grape juice. It's nothing but grape juice. But what it represents and what it symbolizes is the blood of the Lamb. And Lord, I thank you, Lord, that we have been cleansed by the blood of Jesus. One sacrifice once and for all. And Lord, I haven't got to run down to church. I can sit on the edge of my bed right now. I can sit in the front room. I can sit under the stars. I can sit on the beach. I can be flying through the heavens above in an aircraft and break bread and take a cup. Because this is not a religious activity. This is a gift and a commandment from God. And Jesus said, as often as you gather together, do this in remembrance of me. So wherever you are gathering, whether you're on your own, whether you're with family, friends, it's just me and you tonight. We're just breaking bread and taking another cup. So Father, bless this cup that symbolizes the blood of Jesus. Thank you, Lord, that we're cleansed by the crimson tide, the blood of the Lamb. Amen. It's that simple. But how powerful is it is to break bread and to take in a cup. How powerful to do that together. Even on your own, wherever you are. You haven't got to be in church. Because when God comes Gave that commandment, the church wasn't even in existence. Exodus chapter 12. Get yourself a lamb. And we know the rest. Exodus chapter 12. Have a read. And then Jesus tells us around a Passover table. As often as you gather together in my name. So you can gather together in a field. At work. In your van, in your car, sitting on your patio, and on your sofa. You can be on your own. You haven't got to be in a crowd. Because God is with you. And when you realize that God is with you, suddenly there's four of you in the room. Father, Son, Holy Spirit, plus yourself. And then, if you want to count, which you can't count, the legions of angels that have been deployed over your life. You are never alone. You are never alone. Psalm

Final Blessing And Staying Connected

SPEAKER_00 45:09

91. We're peddling out of this prayer time together tonight in about two minutes. And God is calling you, but just remind yourself what is said through Psalm 91. That He has deployed angels over your life. And He is calling you. And no weapon forged against you shall prosper. And Jesus is saying, just come, come and rest. Come to the river of life. Come to me, all of you that are weary and heavily laden, and I will give you rest. The Spirit of the Lord is with you. Whatever is going on in your life, the power of God is with you. Don't ever give up, don't ever give in. We're just going to close with a prayer. Father, we thank you for everybody online as we crisscross the globe through the power of technology. And Lord, we pray. As we go through valleys and trials and worries and fears, we believe in miracles. We believe, Lord, that in the anointing of God, we believe that we are carrying the fruit of the Spirit, the gifts of the Spirit. And the power of God is over our lives. Because, Lord, we're calling the things that are not as though they are. And Lord, we're healed. We're walking in prosperity. We're walking in freedom. We're walking in hope. So tonight, Lord, this is breakthrough night. Lord, this is a night of breakthrough. Jericho is falling. Goliath is gone. The river Jordan is about to make way. So Lord, we thank you that we're walking in your promises. We're walking in the word of God, and wherever we are at this hour, I pray that the Spirit of the Lord will carry you. That you will just find his presence like never before. And you will be like Jacob. And you will just wrestle with God. God, I'm not going to leave you until you bless me. Lord, I'm going to hold on to you. Lord, I'm going to hold on, Lord, till I find this breakthrough. Lord, I'm going to read the scripture until I get the answer that is needed. Because Lord, I'm tired of the political gender. I'm tired of the sound of the political language across the world. Lord, I don't want to listen anymore to the news channels. I'm not going to, dear God, allow media to drive me. I'm going to fix my eyes on Jesus. I'm going to fix my eyes on Jesus. Hebrews 12, as we come out of this prayer time. Fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and the perfecter of our faith. Wherever you are right now, I pray that the love of God will carry you tonight. Whatever your time zone is, I pray that the richness of God will bless you from the crown of your head to the very sole of your feet. That you will fill the rhythm of heaven. Jehovah Jireh is with you. The King is with you wherever you are. And Jesus is calling you right now. Thank you for joining us. Thank you for staying with us. Thank you for praying with us.

The music will continue, but the Lord is with you wherever you are. The Spirit of the Lord is carrying you. Don't ever give up. And just remind yourself that you are grafted into the vine, and nothing can separate you from the love of God that is in.
