Joshua 1:5 (NIV): “I will never leave you nor forsake you.” Psalm 23:1 (NIV): “The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” Jesus, at 3 a.m., when the world is quiet but the mind is loud, You see the spiralling thoughts, the emotional heaviness, the fear of tomorrow, the overthinking that won’t stop, the sudden rush of anxiety, the fear of being alone, the replaying of old mistakes, the dread of bad news, the financial pressures, the relationship worries, the health worries, and the deep ache of wanting peace but not knowing how to reach it.

You know, we've got no voice, we've got no traffic, we've got no news, we've got no weather. Hallelujah in the name of Jesus. We just got music, we got the rhythm of heaven. Wherever you are, I pray and I welcome you in to this prayer family. You're not alone. God is with you right now. Whatever you are facing, the traumas, the worries, and the fears, God is with us, but we are on a journey. It's the journey of life, you know. Let's not listen to all that Razmatazz out of the prosperity gospel and all that sort of stuff. Let's not listen to all that fake name it and claim it. Let's listen to the word of God because it's the word of God. You know, those false areas of life will give us false hope. But the word of God will give you truth. The word of God is truth. You are healed, you are blessed and highly favored. And yes, I believe that we are in the refiner's fire. I believe that God is with us, just like he was with Shamrach, Meshach, and Abendigo, as there is in the fire. Who's the fourth one walking in that fire? It is our God, it is our King, it is the Holy Spirit. Father, in the name of Jesus, as we walk through the fires of life, Lord, at this midnight hour, Lord, as we press through the early days, dear God, right now into January. Lord, as we press through the early hours of the night, Father, as we press through this journey of life, Father, we need to pray through this pain that we're going through. The anxious pain, the fear pain, the doubt pain, the physical pain, the uncertain, dear God, moments of our lives. Father, we feel abandoned some days, Lord, and I gotta tell you, Jesus, some days here on planet earth, it's tough, Jesus. And I need you in my life like never before. And Lord, I come to the cross of Calvary right now and I say, Jesus, Lord, will you carry my brothers and sisters wherever they are around the world, from London to Copenhagen, from Copenhagen to New York, from New York, Jerusalem, and Wellington, Father, at this hour, Father, we pray as we lock in, Lord, for this devotional stretch. Lord, for those that are reaching, dear God, out of the battlefield of life, for those that are going through mental storms, for those that feel lonely in these silent hours, dear God, in the middle of the day, Father, when the world is making a noise and I've got these pots and pans clanging in my head. Lord, I'm at work and I can't concentrate. Lord, I'm at school, Father. I'm at home. Lord, the silence sometimes is so loud that even being at home when it's silent, it feels so loud. The pressure of living. Father, come in the name of Jesus. We pray for those that feel abandoned. Jesus, stay beside me. Jesus, stay beside us right now. Jesus, stay beside me when my thoughts, my thoughts will not let me settle. Lord, come to my life. Lord, stretch out and carry us. Lord Jesus, stay beside me when my thoughts are wayward. Stay beside me, Lord, when I'm not sure. Father, take the deep ache and the wanting Father God away. Lord, I pray for this 3 a.m., this 6 a.m. this 12 a.m. Lord, this middle of the day, the early doors, whatever it is, take the anxiety away. Jesus, my thoughts won't settle at work. Lord, I can't concentrate on my workload. I can't concentrate on keeping the home square. I can't concentrate on driving. Lord, I can't concentrate on homework. Lord, I can't concentrate in life itself. Come, Holy Spirit. The Bible says in Joshua 1, verse 5, I will never leave you nor forsake you. And in Psalm 23, verse 1, the Lord is my shepherd. I lack nothing. Father, I thank you for the word of God. But right now, Lord, I need you in our lives. Father, we need the Holy Spirit. It is the Lion of Judah that we're calling for. It is the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords, Spirit of the living God. Jesus, stay beside me when my thoughts won't let me settle. Jesus, stay beside me when I'm scared of life. Jesus, stay beside me as I'm commuting to work right now. Jesus, stay beside me. I'm scared and I'm worried about the financial implications of Christmas. Lord, keep beside me. Lord, I'm worried about life. Lord, I don't want to have another panic attack. I don't want to get into fear. Lord, I want freedom. Father, wherever we are, Lord, I thank you for the listeners from the battlefield to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the school run, from the school run to the field of life, Spirit of the Living God, carry us in the greatest name in heaven and earth. I will catch you in just a few moments on the next prayer.
