Philippians 4:7 — Jesus, Give Me Deep Peace Tonight and Calm My Rushing Thoughts From London to New York, Paris, Sydney, Madrid, Johannesburg, Vancouver, and Dubai — people tonight are searching for peace, rest, and release from the pressure of the day. Philippians 4:7 (NIV): “And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Psalm 4:8 (NIV): “In peace I will lie down and sleep, for you alone, Lord, make me dwell in safety.” Jesus, as the world slows and the night deepens, I bring You every anxious thought, every racing fear, every unanswered question, and every burden I cannot switch off. These mirror tonight’s global long-tail searches: prayer for sleep anxiety, Jesus calm my mind before bed, night panic prayer, intrusive thoughts at night, fear of tomorrow prayer, prayer for emotional rest, I can’t sleep because of anxiety, Jesus protect my mind tonight, prayer when thoughts spiral, night-time anxiety help. Jesus, steady my breathing, soften my thoughts, and let Your peace wrap around me like a blanket. Guard my mind from fear, protect my heart from heaviness, and silence every internal storm. Where my thoughts race, bring stillness. Where dread rises, bring courage. Where the day has drained me, bring renewal. Where I feel vulnerable, be my covering. Where fear whispers lies, speak truth. Where my mind spirals, place Your hand upon me and restore holy calm. I declare that Jesus is my peace tonight, the guard of my mind, the strength of my spirit, the stillness in my storm, and the One who watches over me as I sleep. Fear will not rule my night. Anxiety will not shape my rest. My sleep belongs to the Prince of Peace. night prayer for peace, Philippians 4:7 devotional, sleep anxiety prayer, Jesus calm my thoughts, fear of tomorrow, global nightly devotional, peace before sleep

SPEAKER_00:

Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, recorded live here in London, England, where the world gathers for five minutes of faith, hope, love, and strength. If you've got a prayer request, you can email us at infodailyprayer.uk. Thank you to everybody that supports this listener-funded ministry and all those on RB Christian Radio, wherever you are listening to worship, whatever you are doing at this moment in time, don't ever, ever give up. We are gonna pray. We are gonna pray. What we're gonna pray for tonight? We're gonna pray, Jesus, give me deep peace. Lord, we don't want peace that just touches the fringe of life. Lord, we want peace that goes deep within our heart. Lord, those thoughts, dear God, that are deep. Lord, we want those thoughts, dear God, to be erased. Lord, we lost our identity. We're walking in fear, doubt, all that Razmataz of what the world brings to us. Lord, we want to, dear God, transform. Lord, we want to move out, dear God, of this thought pattern. Lord, we want to get off the merry-go of life. Father, we don't want to live, dear God, in the merry-go-round situation. Father, we want to get off of the circus trip that we're on. Father, in the name of Jesus, we come before you and we believe that Philippians 4 verse 7 is for each and every one of us at this hour. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Lord, guard our hearts. God, guard our hearts and our minds. Lord, strengthen our thoughts. Lord, you tell us, dear God, your peace, your love, your mercy transcends all natural understanding. Lord, we want the noise of life to go. Lord, we want all those negative vibes to be gone. And Lord, we want to be filled to the full measure. Lord, we want that cup to runeth over. Lord, the rushing thoughts, dear God, the noise, the sound of monotony. Father, the drumbeat, the sound rolling drumbeat of life. Father, we don't want to hear the same drumbeat. We don't want to park in the same place. We don't want to get up at the same hour. Lord, we don't want to get on the same bus, sit in the same seat. Lord, we don't want to get on the same train, sitting in that same position. Dear God, we don't want to lock eyes with that person again every day. Lord, we want to be free. So Lord, I pray that we will live in peace. We will live in freedom. Lord, we can't keep living life the way we're living. Lord, it is boring, it is tiring, it is exhausting, and we need serious change. Father, give us peace today. Lord, take care of our lives. Father, wherever we are, from London to New York, Paris, Sydney, Madrid, Johannesburg, Vancouver, and Dubai, Spirit of the Living God, pour out your love. Lord, we don't want to park in the same car park space for another 40 years. Lord, we don't want to get on the same bus for another 40 years. Lord, we don't want to do this same commute for another 40 years. Lord, we're tired, we're fed up, we're exhausted, and we want change. Lord, bring change. Lord, bring a new rhythm to life. Lord, as we breathe, as we move in and out. Father, we believe that there is change. And tonight, Lord, we are anxious because we're parking in the same car park space. Lord, we're fed up because we're getting on the same bus. Lord, we're tired because we're getting on the same tube again, day in, day out. Lord, we're tired commuting. Lord, we don't want to be commuter robots. Lord, we don't want to be following the pattern of the world. Lord, we don't want to be bouncing the same bounce as we did for all these years, all these days, all these moments. Lord, we want a new rhythm. And Lord, we are not getting peace because we are not hitting the rhythm that we are being called to rhythm with. So Lord, I pray right now that we will change the rhythm. Lord, that you will help us to change the rhythm of life. And Lord, I pray for those that are thinking, dear God, are moving, for those that are thinking, changing jobs, for those, dear God, that are thinking of having a complete different change in their lives. I pray that you will give us peace, dear God, to step out, dear God, of that boat of fear. And we will jump on to the field, dear God, of life. And Lord, we will accelerate and we will not look back. Spirit of the living God, I pray for every listener, wherever they are, from the battlefield to the boardroom, to the school run, to the coffee run, to the cheeky McDonald's run. Wherever we are across the world, Father, whatever tribe, whatever tongue, whatever color of the skin is, Lord, we cannot move to the way of the system anymore because, Lord, we got fear in the skin that we walk in. Father, our thoughts at night, at day, whenever it is, Lord, we are trapped in monotony. Break this, Lord. You tell us in Philippians 4 verse 7, and the peace of God will transcend all understanding and guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Lord, I pray for every listener right now that they will break out, dear God, of that situation. And they will look up and they will be bold and strong and say, This is the day that the Lord has made. I'm not gonna live by fear, I'm not gonna be living by control of the workplace issues, I'm not living by control in culture, I'm not living by control of color, of age, of whatever the world is saying. Lord, we want freedom. So Lord, bring peace and give us strength to change the rhythm in Jesus' name. I will catch you at the next prayer. God bless.
