Psalm 46:1 — Midnight Strength for Tired Minds and Weary Hearts After Christmas From London to Accra, from Manila to Toronto, from Nairobi to Buenos Aires — a global midnight prayer within the DailyPrayer.uk 24-Hour Cycle. Psalm 46:1 — “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Isaiah 40:29 — “He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak.”

Across the world tonight, searches for “strength,” “exhaustion,” “post-Christmas crash,” and “renewed energy” surge as homes fall quiet and hearts process the weight of the season. God meets us here with steadying strength and deep calm. PRAYER Father, in Jesus’ name, we bring you this midnight hour. For every weary heart, every overwhelmed mind, and every body drained by December’s weight, pour out supernatural strength. Lord, steady emotions, settle thoughts, restore energy, and bring deep inner calm. Where people feel stretched, anxious, or alone, wrap them in your presence. For those carrying financial burdens, uncertainty, or emotional fatigue, lift the heaviness tonight. Renew focus, restore clarity, and breathe peace into every home. Strengthen those who must work through the night, comfort those who cannot sleep, and settle those whose minds race with fears about tomorrow. Lord, be our refuge, defender, and rest. We receive your strength in this midnight hour. Amen.

SPEAKER_00:

Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where faith meets the world in daily prayer and daily devotion. May the Spirit of the Living God be over you wherever you are in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. Brother and sister, we want to say thank you for those that are buying us a coffee. Thank you for those that are sending their prayer requests in and are praying for us. And please don't forget Sunday night, 9 p.m., live on X and on RB Christian Radio, UK time, 9 p.m. on X and RB Christian Radio. We will be praying at 9 o'clock to 9.45. That is every Sunday, Spirit of the Living God. We come to you, Lord, and we thank you for the listeners around the world. We thank you, dear God, wherever they are, whatever they may be doing, that the love of God and the Spirit of the Living God is over them. But right now, Lord, Father, as we are backing out, Lord, thank God that we're moving away and coming away from December. Because, Lord, we want to step, Lord, into new beginnings. Father, we thank you for Christmas. Everything that's gone along with that, but Lord, right now, Lord, we are searching for strength. We are searching for tired, dear God, minds to go. Lord, we want these tired minds, dear God, to go. Father, as we search the word of God, Lord, we want a refreshing move of the Spirit of the Living God in our lives. And Father, we thank you that Psalm 46, verse 1 is for each and every one of us. Lord, as we kick the duvet off, Lord, as we pull the duvet over, Lord, if we're going to sleep, waking up, getting ready for work, whatever the time zone is around our world, Father, we believe in miracles and we are locking down, dear God, on the rugby field of life. And Lord, we lock in with scrum together. Lord, and we press over that triline. Lord, we believe in miracles. Father, I pray for my brothers and sisters wherever they are around the world, that the love of God and the power of the Holy Spirit will bless them wherever they are. Sitting on the edge of the bed, Lord, laying in bed, dear God, driving the van, Lord, driving the car, Lord, hovering, cleaning, washing, hanging the washing out, Lord, just sitting down, whatever they are doing in the gym, in the gym of life, dear God, and whatever the glory of God, dear God, pour out your spirit over each and every one of them. And Lord, we pray for such breakthrough in their lives today. And Father, as we gather from London, dear God, to Manila, from Manila, Toronto, dear God, Spirit of the Living God, we pray for Buenos Aires. We pray for Brazil, France, Switzerland, Northern Ireland. Lord, let the glory, let the power, let the love of God just permeate right away through Nigeria and America. Come, Holy Spirit, Lord, we need you to stir us. And Lord, as we hold on to Psalms 46, verse 1, God is our refuge and strength for very ever-present help in trouble. Lord, we pray for breakthrough in our lives. Lord, we ask you that you will, dear God, set the captives free wherever we are around the world, that the love of God will bless the listeners at this hour. Lord, at the early doors of day. Father, as the sun is rising, as the sun is setting, Lord, we believe in miracles. And Father, we thank you, Lord, that we are pushing away from Christmas. And Lord, as we accelerate and as we start to move, dear God, in this January, sorry, I pray, dear God, that you will move very, very powerfully in our lives. Lord, as we are staring at January, just a few days away. Lord, we pray that the love of God, the Spirit of God, and the goodness of God will stir us right now from the crown of our head to the sole of our feet. Lord, wherever we sit, wherever we stand, Lord, I pray that the love of God will strengthen us. But right now, Lord, we really need Psalm 46, verse 1. God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Lord, not only do we hold on to Psalm 46, 1, Lord, we thank you for the beautiful book of Isaiah. Isaiah 46, dear God, we come to you right now, Lord, and we believe that the power of God is in our lives. Lord, let there be a stirring right now. Lord, thank you that the word of God is giving us strength. Father, as we search for strength, Father, we thank you that exhaustion has gone. Lord, that post-Christmas crash has gone. Lord, you are renewing our energy. Father, there is a surge of the Holy Spirit right now, and we hold on to the greatest name in heaven and earth. And at the name of Jesus, every knee shall bow on the earth, under the earth. And right now, at this hour, we believe, Father God, that there is breakthrough. The shackles are gone. December is moving, it is shifting out of our lives, and the Spirit of the Lord is falling over each and every one of us. Lord, we're praying for calm thoughts. We're praying for steadiness. We're praying, dear God, for energy right now, wherever we are around the world. I thank God for every listener. Bless them from the crown of their head to the sole of their feet. May the glory of God bless you. My name's Reverend Ben Cooper. Until tomorrow, thank you for praying with us. Thank you for standing with us for more daily devotions.
