We are praying from the words of Jesus in the Lord’s Prayer — “Our Father in heaven.” Father, as the morning begins, we come to You. Not as strangers. Not as distant voices.  But as children who belong. You are our Father. And right now, before anything else begins, we anchor ourselves in that truth.I belong to God.  I am not alone. I am held by my Father in heaven. And Your Word tells us not to be anxious. So we bring every anxious thought to You. Every thought that is running ahead… Every fear about what today may hold… Every worry that feels too heavy too early…We place it into Your hands. Because You are already ahead of us. You are already present in every moment of this day. So I release the overthinking. I release the anxiety I woke up with. I release the pressure to figure everything out. I release it. And now, I receive. I receive the peace of God over my mind. I receive calm over my thoughts. I receive the covering of Jesus over my life. I receive. Today will not control me.  My thoughts will not lead me into fear. I will walk in peace. Because my Father is with me. Across the world, wherever we are listening, God is present.From Mexico City to Bogotá, from São Paulo to Manila, His Spirit is calming minds, lifting burdens, and restoring peace. Jesús, cúbrenos hoy con Tu paz. Jesus Cristo, cobre-nos com a Tua paz hoje. Jesus, Ikaw ang aking kapayapaan ngayong umaga. Father, we trust You. We rest in You. We begin this day in peace.

Welcome To Daily Prayer

SPEAKER_00

Welcome to Daily Prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper. Wherever you are across the world, thank you for making daily prayer part of your life and part of the rhythm of your day. We're gonna jump straight into the early morning devotional prayer time, and I invite you to

Matthew 6:9 And Today’s Theme

SPEAKER_00

stay with me. You know, before this day unfolds, let's get straight into the beautiful book of Matthew, chapter 6, verse 9. And this is the title of this prayer. When my mind won't stop overthinking and I need peace.

A Simple Prayer For Peace

SPEAKER_00

Father, we are living in times where we need peace. Father, when we look across the platform of the UK and across the world, Father, we need peace. And Lord, we pray that you will bring peace to our heart, our mind, and our body and our soul. And right now, Lord, wherever we live, Lord, before we pull the curtains back on today, Lord, the morning's prayer, Lord, is very simple. Lord, help me to stop overthinking and Lord, bring your peace. Let your glory just rest over me. Lord, let it be like the spring rain, the summer rain after a hot day. Lord, let your love just just come down over me, dear God. Just just refresh my soul right now. Refresh each and every one of us. Lord, we recognize that the Lord's prayer is all I need. We recognize that the Lord's prayer is full power, is for glory. And Lord, I pray that we will take the Lord's prayer and we will realize that God in heaven is our Father in heaven. Holy Spirit, I pray today that we will acknowledge you as our Father. Lord, you are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And today, Lord, I pray, before we kick the duvet off, before we rise out of bed, before this new day springs forth, Lord, before the dawn, dear God, comes across the heavens and the earth, Lord, before the dew lifts off the grass of life. Holy Spirit, I pray today that the Spirit of the Lord will give us peace. And wherever we are across the world, whatever our time zone is, whatever our colour, whatever our understanding, whatever our creed may be, Lord, whatever our culture may be, whatever our understanding of life may be, I pray that you will draw each and every one of us to the cross of Calvary. And Lord, that we will find that place of rest. So today, Lord, before dear God, we get out of bed, Lord, we pray that our mind will calm down. Lord, when my mind won't stop overthinking, I need peace. And Lord, we lean into the beautiful word of God and we believe in

Philippians 4 Peace Over Anxiety

SPEAKER_00

miracles. And Lord, we pray through Philippians 4, 6 and 7. Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your request to God, and the peace of God will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Lord, we come against anxiety. Lord, we believe that we are living in abundance, we are living in abundant life. We call the things that are not as though they are. Right now, we thank you that we are not a stranger to our Father. We thank you, dear God, that we are not a distant voice. We thank you, dear God, that we are grafted into the vine, and nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. But right now, we recognize that our God is our Father in heaven. Hallowed be thy name. Your name is holy. You are Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Nissi. But right now, Lord, we thank you that you have cancelled out fear, you have cancelled out doubt, you have cancelled out, dear God, any area of worry and doubt in our lives. And you are bringing peace, you are bringing rest. You are bringing glory right now. Lord, we recognize that we belong to God. I am not alone. I am held by my Father in heaven. So Lord, I pray at this hour, wherever we are across the world, that we will feel the love of God from the battlefield to the boardroom. Lord, as we draw the curtains back on today, Lord, as we get out of bed right now, Lord, we smile and we say, This is the day that the Lord has made. I shall rejoice and be glad. We believe in miracles. We are healed and we are blessed. Lord, from the battlefield to the boardroom, to the field of life, to every sunset, to every rainfall.

Global Blessings And Closing Invitation

SPEAKER_00

Father, we pray as we pray out live from London, England, where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Father, we pray for blessings all the way around the world, from Mexico City to Bogota to Manila, the Philippines. Lord, all the way to America. We are praying, dear God, for Jerusalem and Israel that the love of God will descend like rain. Lord, let it rain over our lives today. The Spirit of the Lord is over you. Have a beautiful day today. Don't ever give up. God is with you. And let's just pray that prayer through the journey of our day. Matthew 6, verse 9. The Lord's prayer is with you. I invite you to stay. Will you join me for the next prayer? Have a beautiful morning. God bless.
