Welcome To Late Night Prayer

SPEAKER_00

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 late night devotional prayer time wherever you are scattered around the world. I ask you to pause to stay with me. Don't go nowhere. I know you're tired.

Overthinking And Letting Go

SPEAKER_00

13. When my mind won't switch off and I need a peaceful sleep. Father, our minds are racing. Father, we are on the motorway of life, driving at full stretch, and our minds are overthinking. Lord, we can't let go of the steering wheel of life. Lord, we are controlling everything, and our mind is controlling everything. Lord, we're not living by faith. Lord, let me pause. Maybe I should say, I'm not living so much by faith. And I pray that the brothers and sisters around the world are living by faith. But for me right now, Lord, I need to let go of the steering wheel of life. And Lord, I need my mind to switch off. Because my mind, Father God, is racing. Lord, the thoughts, everything in my head, the intrusive thoughts, the thoughts, dear God, that overtake my heart and my mind. Holy Spirit, they overtake those thoughts, dear God, are deeper than anything else. And right now, we need, dear God, to be delivered from overthinking. Lord, we need our minds to be set free. Lord, we are coming to you right now and we are tired and we are weary. Right now, Lord, my mind won't switch off. Lord, we've had a long day. Lord, the children, dear God, have just been driving us mad. Lord, life itself has just got us in a frenzy today. Lord, we feel like we got grit in the system. It's been very stressful. We're tired and weary. We feel agitated. We feel scared. Lord, our mind won't switch down. Holy Spirit, calm. Holy Spirit, please, Lord, we need to sleep tonight. We are tired. Lord, we got anxious thoughts. Lord, we got sleep deprivation. We need protection and we need night rest.

A Global Prayer For Peace

SPEAKER_00

So wherever we are across the world, Lord, as we stretch out live from London, England, where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Lord, we lock in together. Lord, we pray right now from London, all the way to Jerusalem, from Jerusalem to St. Paulo, from St. Paolo to New York, from New York to Manila. Lord, we are praying for an outpouring of your spirit over every nation, every village, everyone that is with me right now. We are praying for the love of God. The night prayer, the night cry is Jesus. Lord, the night prayer is Holy Spirit. The night cry is please God. Lord, I thank you that as we sleep right now, we are going to rest in peace. Because

Psalm 4 For Safe Sleep

SPEAKER_00

Lord, we are calling the beautiful book of Psalms 4, verse 8 over our lives. In peace, I will lie down and sleep. For you alone, Lord, make me dwell in a safe space. Lord, wherever we are, Lord, help us, dear God, to calm down. Help us, dear God, to breathe. Help us just to pause wherever we are right now, Jesus, when my mind won't switch off, and I need a peaceful sleep. Lord, we

Finding Rest Through The Lord’s Prayer

SPEAKER_00

need peace. Lord, our mind is racing. And Lord, we are looking, dear God, to lean into the beautiful book of Matthew 6, verse 9, and thereon. Holy Spirit, I pray that we will take the Lord's Prayer. We will pray through the Lord's Prayer, that we will find rest and power through the Lord's Prayer. Holy Spirit, I pray that you will bless, dear God, the prayer family that's with me right now. I pray, dear God, that you will touch their hearts wherever they are. Lord, I pray that you will wipe their tears, that you will carry and erase their pain. Lord, that you will give them peace, dear God, at this late hour. Father, as we gather around the mic, Lord, as we gather around the word, as we carry one another in prayer. Lord, I pray that they will have a beautiful sleep tonight. The angels have been deployed around their lives. Lord, I thank you, dear God, that your love is over every listener. Thank you, Jesus. I believe that you are going to sleep well tonight and the love of God is over your life. Don't
