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. Good morning, good afternoon, good evening. Whether you are journaling right now, or whether you're having a cup of tea or a cup of coffee, you're listening to my voice through this audio prayer, or whether you have just been reading this prayer through, I pray that the love of God will sit over you. And we're going to jump straight into the book of Psalms 46, verse 10. This is the title of the prayer, Jesus. Everything feels too much right now. Help me to be still and find peace within. Father, I pray for anyone that feels that life is just too much. Work, life, family, situations, Lord, history, the present, worrying about the future. I pray right now, Lord, holy God, that you are. Come, Jesus. Lord, we are praying for a refreshing presence of your love and your mercy. Lord, we're looking for a reset. Lord, we're looking, dear God, for this hour. Lord, we're looking for a reset of our heart. Lord, we're looking to find a place to rest our heart and our mind, a place to be still. And as we pray out from the four corners of this world, Lord, we ask you that you will lift anxiety right now. Anyone that is feeling overwhelmed, anyone that is feeling really pressured with life, feeling scared and lost, Jesus, we pray. Lord, we ask you that you will lift that heavy weight, Lord, from within. Lord, that fear that sits in the mind, sits in the skin that we walk in. God, I feel overwhelmed right now. Will you help me? Lord, will you carry me right now? Jesus, we're praying for calm right now. Will you help me? Holy Spirit, Lord, we're praying through the beautiful book of the prayers of David, Psalm 46, verse 10. Be still and know that I'm God. Father, we thank you that we are trying to be still through the noise of life. Lord, our lives are very noisy at this moment. Lord, with the rattle, dear God, of social media, the rattle, dear God, of the war cry, the rattle of life itself, the rattle of work, home situations, the rattle of life. But Jesus, I pause right now and I try to breathe. God, when I feel overwhelmed, I ask you now that you will lift this feeling out of this skin. Lord, I step out of the noise of life. Lord, I release the pressure that is against my mind at this hour. And I'm asking, God, will you replace that for peace? Lord, replace that for and with peace. I receive stillness and it settles within me right now. I receive calm and a steady thought. Holy God, wherever we are, Lord, we do not want to push hard into the world. Father, but we want to slow down, we want to breathe, and Lord, we want to walk in the freedom of the Holy Spirit. So Lord, I'm praying, Lord, for the listeners wherever they are, that they will feel your love, your grace. I receive, I walk, and I rest. In the name of Jesus. I am still right now. Lord, we're at work and it's really noisy, but Lord, I'm still within. Lord, I'm in the shops right now. It's really noisy, but I'm still within. Lord, I'm in the circle of life right now, and it's really noisy externally, Lord, but it's quiet within. Holy Spirit, we pray for Psalms 46, 10 over our lives, that we will return to stillness, to peace, to love, to mercy. Be still and know that I'm God. Lord, at that moment at every day, at every second, of every thought pattern, when I feel the pressure of life just rolling up higher and higher, Holy Spirit, I thank you, Lord, that we call on your name. And Lord, I pray that you will help us to pause, to be still, to focus, soften our hearts, soften our hearts today, Lord. Help us to find peace within the skin that we walk in. And wherever we are across the world, I pray that the love of God and the Spirit of God will carry you. Jesus, I want you to be that anchor. And right now I step out of the noise, I return to stillness where God steadies my mind and my heart. Jesus, when everything feels overwhelming, draw me back to you. Quieting these racing thoughts within my head. Help me find rest in your presence. Let my mind become steady and my heart be at peace again as I trust in you. Amen. The love of God is over your life. Don't ever give up. Jesus is with you. Have a beautiful day. God bless.
