Psalm 16:8 — Rest Tonight Knowing God Is By Your Side Live from our studios in London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Hobart • Hamilton • Singapore • Charlotte • Lima CONFIDENCE • PEACE • SECURITY Good evening, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I’m Reverend Ben Cooper. Come in for five minutes, let’s open God’s Word together, and let’s pray. As this day quietly draws to a close, there is no need to carry tomorrow before it arrives. If your mind is still busy, if you’re praying for peaceful sleep or simply longing to rest in God’s presence tonight, let’s place every concern into His faithful hands. The Lord who has walked with us throughout this day will remain with us through the night.  Psalm 16:8 (NIV) “I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken.” What a beautiful promise to end the day. God’s presence is not limited to the daylight hours. His faithfulness continues through every quiet moment of the night. While we sleep, He remains constant. While our strength is restored, His love never rests. We can close our eyes with confidence because the One who holds our future never changes. Father, thank You for Your goodness throughout this day. Thank You for every answer we have seen and every prayer You are still unfolding according to Your perfect wisdom. Lord Jesus, tonight we place our families, our homes, our health and our future into Your loving care. Bring healing to those who are unwell, comfort to every lonely heart, peaceful sleep to those whose minds are restless and renewed hope for everyone facing tomorrow with uncertainty. Help us to rest in the confidence that You are always near. Holy Spirit, surround every home with Your peace, calm every anxious thought and remind us that nothing can separate us from the love of God revealed in Christ Jesus. Across the world, from Hobart to Hamilton, from Singapore to Charlotte and Lima, may every listener rest securely tonight, knowing that God is by their side and His faithful love will welcome them into a new morning.

God bless you, whatever the time zone is, whatever the rhythm. But welcome to the late night rhythm of prayer together. We're going to press straight in before the curtains close on another day. Let's just get together and pray. Let's stand together. Come on, let's never give up. We've got to keep going.

time of night. And Lord, we are exhausted and weary. But Lord, we want confidence, we want peace, and we want security. Lord, we look across the platform of the world. Holy Spirit, as we look across the world, Father, we feel very unsure, very unsafe. And we are calling on the Father of Isaac, Jacob, and Abraham. And we are leaning into the Word of God. And right now, Lord, Father, we thank you that we are connecting and we pray that the four winds of heaven will blow over our lives. Spirit of the living God, I pray that you will lift us, you will carry us, your anointing, your grace, favor will be over our lives. Lord, I thank you that your love is yes and amen. And tonight, Lord, we are going to rest knowing that God is by our side. And Lord, will you remind us through the beautiful prayers of David, Psalm 91, that angels have been deployed because of the concern of the God of Israel over our lives. Father, we thank you that your word is yes and amen. Your presence is with us wherever we go. And Lord, I pray for those that feel very scared. I pray for those, dear God, that can't sleep. I pray for those, dear God, where their mind is so busy and so active and so alive. Lord, they cannot rest. But Lord, we're going to pray right now in confidence. We're going to pray in peace. And we believe that there is security over our lives. Lord, we don't want to engage in the crowd. Lord, we want to rest. Lord, we want to speak quietly. We want to live quietly. We want to walk quietly. Lord, I thank you that there is power in the name of Jesus

Psalm 16:8 And Unshaken Faith

SPEAKER_00

Christ. And Lord, wherever we are tonight, Lord, as we stretch out liar from London, England, all the way to Singapore, Charlotte, all the way to Brazil, all the way to New Zealand. Father, we thank you that you are moving through Japan. The Spirit of the Lord is over each and every one of us. Lord, help us to pause, to gather our breath, and just to say, Jesus, Jesus, at this hour, Jesus, at this moment, Lord, right now, Jesus, just reveal yourself. Lord, because we're tired and we're weary. And Lord, the battle is fierce. Life is fierce, but we're calling on the God of Abraham. We're calling on the God of David. We're calling on the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And the shackles are gone. History is gone. Doubt is gone. Fear is gone. Lord, we're calling the things that are not as though they are. And Lord, as we connect, as we pray together, Lord, I thank you that tonight we are going to rest knowing that God is by our side. And Lord, we thank you for the prayers of David. Psalm 16, verse 8. I keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Lord, I pray that that scripture, Lord, will penetrate our innermost being. I will keep my eyes always on the Lord. With him at my right hand, I will not be shaken. Father, I thank you that we will never be shaken. Whatever the rhythm of the world is, Lord, I thank you that the world will never shake us. Lord, and fear will never win. Lord, we're going to rise, dear God, by faith. We're going to rise in confidence. We're going to sleep well tonight because the Spirit of the Lord is over each and every one of us. And wherever we are, we pray that the fire of God, the love of God, the anointing of God, the presence of God will just come into our hearts tonight. Lord, I thank you that every one of us is going to sleep well in Jesus' name. Lord, as we close the curtains on
