Colossians 3:15 — Peace for Family Pressure, Emotional Strain and Christmas Tension in This Busy December Season From London to Madrid, from Melbourne to Lagos, from Chicago to Amsterdam — a global 8 P.M. prayer within the DailyPrayer.uk 24-Hour Devotional Cycle. Scripture (NIV) Colossians 3:15 — “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts…” Romans 12:18 — “If it is possible… live at peace with everyone.” December sees a major spike in worldwide searches for “family tension,” “stress at Christmas,” and “how to stay calm at gatherings.” This scripture ranks among the top global verses for emotional stability and relational peace during challenging seasons. Prayer  Father, in the name of Jesus, we bring every family under pressure before You tonight. Calm strained conversations. Heal silent tension. Bring peace where emotions run high and patience runs low. Help those dreading gatherings or carrying hidden hurt. Remove fear of conflict and soften hearts weighed down by family history, worry and expectation. Give wisdom in speech, gentleness in response and grace for difficult moments. Surround homes with the peace of Christ — a peace stronger than stress, disappointment or emotional strain. Let families experience calm, kindness and supernatural stillness. Lord, rule over every household tonight and bring unity, healing and rest. Prayer prayer for peace at home, prayer for family unity, prayer for emotional calm, prayer for wisdom, prayer for healing conversations, prayer for reduced tension, prayer for Christ’s peace Life Application. Before entering family spaces, pause and pray Colossians 3:15. Ask God to rule your heart and guide your tone, reactions and emotional posture.

SPEAKER_00:

Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes. Prayer, faith, hope, and strength. The love of Jesus is over you. You know, my name's Reverend Ben Cooper. I am real. We are not AI. You know, we are praying. You hear me cough, splatter all the rhythm of this studio. May God bless you wherever you are. Come on, we're gonna jump straight in. But if you can support this ministry just by three pounds a month, buy me a coffee, hit the link in the show notes below. We're gonna pray right now. How are you feeling today? I hope you're well wherever you are. We're jumping straight in and we're praying for peace for family, the pressure, the worry, the emotional strain at this Christmas time, the tension, the fear, the worry, the doubt, gathering around the table. Father, in the name of Jesus, I pray for my brothers and sisters wherever they are right now across this world. I ask you, dear God, that they will stay, Lord, in this posture of prayer with me for these moments. Lord, if they're on the coffee run, bless them. Lord, if they're on their way to hospital, bless them. If they're on their way to work, bless them. Lord, if they're taking the children to school, Father, whatever the human beings are, whatever my brothers and sisters are doing right now, from the van, Lord, to the car, from the car to the school run, from the school run to the gym, from the treadmill of life to the treadmill of the gym. Father, wherever they are, let the spirit, let the power, let the anointing of God be over their lives. But right now, Lord, we need peace. We need peace, Lord. Our hearts are racing, Lord. There's tension, our bodies are exhausted, but right now we believe and we know we are born again. We are brothers and sisters that are grafted into the vine. So Lord, in this season, Lord, I just want to remind each and every one of us that we are born again. And Jesus Christ loves us. But right now, Father, I pray for the tension at the season. I pray, dear God, as we gather around the Word for prayer. I thank you, dear God, that there is peace for family under pressure. I believe, Father, that you are lifting the emotional strain at Christmas, the tension in the busy December season. Lord, Holy Spirit, come and refresh this world. Father, as we gather from London to Madrid, from Madrid to dear God to Spain, from Spain to Greece, from Greece, dear God, to China, dear God, all the way through Italy, the Belaric Islands. Come, Holy Spirit, Chicago and Amsterdam, Holland, Lord, let your love and your glory, as we recall this right now, as my sisters and brothers lock in with me. Father, I thank you that we are gathering. Lord, we're tired, we're crying, we're stressed, we're worried, but Lord, this is just the physical us. Lord, we are gonna get in this word and we believe that Colossians 3 verse 15 is for us in the name of Jesus. We believe, let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts today. Father, I thank you for Colossians 3 verse 15. Let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts today. Lord, you've got to rule in our hearts today because Lord, we cannot live our lives by our mind and our emotion and our fear and the skin that we walk in. Lord, help us to live by faith. Lord, why is it? Why is it that this month, Lord, why is it that this December month, Lord, sits in the back of my mind way before December? And Lord, I'm worried about the stress, the tension, the fear, the lack of, but Lord, I've got to turn this over. Lord, I'm gonna retrieve, I'm gonna take back every area that the devil has stolen. And Lord, I believe in Romans 12, 18, if it is possible, live at peace with everyone. Lord, help us, every one of us, Lord, because we are under the blood of Jesus. Lord, we thank you for the line of Judah. We thank you for Jehovah Jirah. We thank you for Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom. But Lord, we've got to live at peace with everyone. Lord, at work, at home. Father, remove the family tension, the stress at Christmas. Help us to stay calm at social gatherings. Help us to lay everything at the cross of Calvary. Lord, I thank you, Lord, for my brothers and sisters wherever they are right now. But Father, in the name of Jesus, we bring every family under pressure before you now. And we pray that there will be calm and there will be peace. Lord, heal that silent tension under the skin that no one else can see, but it is there. Lord, remove that tension. Bring peace, we pray. Let emotions, dear God, be laid at the cross. Bring patience to us today, and let the Spirit of the Lord. I pray that the Spirit of the Lord over this December and forevermore will bring peace to your heart, peace to your home, peace to your life, and you will smile because you are born again and Jesus Christ loves you. Never give up. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Join us on our social networks, dailyprayer.uk. Until tomorrow.
