Morning Prayer — Jesus, You Walk With Me Through the Waters: I Face Today with Courage, Peace, and Steady Trust in You Isaiah 43:2 — When You Pass Through the Waters, I Will Be With You Live from London, England São Paulo • Chicago • Nairobi • Manila • Rome prayer for courage • Isaiah 43:2 prayer • anxiety and pressure prayer • peace prayer Christian • strength in difficulty prayer  Isaiah 43:2 (NIV): “When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you…” John 16:33 (NIV): “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.” Jesus, as I move into this day, I recognise that there are moments ahead that may feel heavy, uncertain, or demanding. There are pressures that rise without warning—situations that stretch me, conversations that require strength, and moments where I am tempted to feel overwhelmed. But I do not face them alone. You are with me. When I walk through deep waters, You are present. When challenges rise, You do not stand at a distance—you walk with me through them, steadying my heart and guiding my steps. I am not alone. And because You are with me, I do not need to shrink back. I can face what is in front of me with courage—not forced or loud, but steady and grounded. A courage that comes from knowing that You have already overcome what I am stepping into. Jesus, give me that peace. Not a peace that avoids difficulty, but a peace that remains within it. Let my thoughts stay clear and my heart stay calm, even when things around me feel uncertain. Let me move forward with strength. Jesús, camino con valor porque Tú estás conmigo hoy. Jesus Cristo, caminho com coragem porque Tu estás comigo hoje. From São Paulo to Chicago, from Nairobi to Rome, across every place facing pressure today, You are present. You are strengthening. You are walking with Your people. So I stand firm. I move forward. I trust in You. In Your name, Jesus, I am courageous, steady, and at peace.

Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper, wherever you are in the world. Thank you for making daily prayer part of your life and part of the rhythm of your day. It is the morning prayer. Good morning and welcome. We're going to jump into the beautiful book of Isaiah 43, verse 2. This is the title, Jesus. You walk with me through the waters I face today with courage, peace, a steady trust in you. Father, these areas of my life, these areas of our life. Lord, today we're going to walk in courage. We're going to walk in peace. And we're going to walk through the pressures as we trust in a steady rhythm with our God. Right now, Lord, we pray. Lord, as we pass through the waters, you say that you will be with us. From the battlefield to the boardroom, to the field of life, to every sunset, to every rainfall. And right now, will you lift the pressure? Will you lift the worry? Will you lift the fear? Will you lift the doubt? The uncertainty. And right now, Lord, we are going to walk through the waters. Whatever we face today, Lord, we're going to go in boldness. We're going to go in strength. We're going to go in love. We're going to go in a steadiness in the rhythm of faith. And right now, Lord, I thank you for every listener, Lord, that they got courage on them. I thank you, Lord, anxiety and pressure has lifted at the name of Jesus. Lord, I thank you, Lord, that they got strength in this daily devotional morning and this prayer time as we gather around the word. Lord, as we hold each other up, as we lift the king up. Lord, as we pray for one another, as we walk together. Lord, we thank you. Whatever situations stretch us right now. Lord, whatever conversations, dear God, are straining our mind. Lord, whatever scenario, Lord, is falling, dear God, on the track of our life. Lord, we're not going to rise to the pressure. We're not going to rise to the bait. We're not going to rise, dear God, to the battlefield. Lord, we're not going to rise to that conversation. We're not going to rise to that situation. Because the battle belongs to the Lord. And Father, we thank you that when we walk through the deep waters, you are present. Lord, when we face challenges that rise up, Lord, you're present. Lord, and I thank you, dear God, that you do not stand at a distance. Lord, you walk with us and you're through us and you're in us. And right now, you steady our hearts right now. Lord, I want to tell the world that we are not alone. Lord, we are not alone. Father, as we pray out from London right away to Chile, from Chile to East Dan Bul, from East Dan Ball to Turkey, from Turkey all the way to the Philippines, from the Philippines to Hong Kong to Taiwan. Lord, I pray right now for South Korea, North Korea, that the love of God and the power and the mercy of the King, Father, from the battlefield to the boredom, to the field of life, to every sunset, to every rainfall, Father, from the shoreline of life. Lord, we step out right now. And Lord, we take courage. Lord, I thank you for John 16, 33. In this world you will have trouble, but take heart. I have overcome the world. Father, I thank you that as we walk through the trouble, as we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, Lord, we're gonna take heart because the King has overcome the world. And right now we pray that we will hear the Lion of Judah, that we will hear the rhythm of God, that we will feel the love of Jesus Christ and your presence and your mercy. And Lord, as we walk through, dear God, the passing waters, Lord, as we pray through Isaiah 43, verse 2, Oh my Lord Jesus, when you pass through the waters, I will be with you. And when you pass through the rivers, I will not let it sweep over you. Father, I thank you that this river, these waters are not going to sweep over us. Lord, we pause as we pass through the waters. You will be with us from the battlefield to the boardroom, to the school run to the washing machine, from the washing machine to the field of life, to the scaffold, the van, the car. Spirit of the living God, we pray, Lord, that we will walk through every situation in boldness, in kindness, and in love. But Lord, we believe in healing. We are healed and we are blessed and highly favored. Wherever you are across this world, whatever nation, whatever tribe, whatever color, whatever language, the spirit of the Lord is over your life. Don't ever give up. Jesus Christ is with you. Have a beautiful morning. God bless.
