Psalm 121:1–2 — Lift Up Your Eyes, Your Help Comes From The Lord Live from our studios in London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Perth • Christchurch • Singapore • Dallas • Santiago HELP • HOPE • CONFIDENCE Good morning, 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 a new day begins, it’s easy to look first at our responsibilities, our calendar or the challenges waiting ahead. Yet before the world asks anything of us, God invites us to lift our eyes towards Him. If your heart feels uncertain, your strength feels limited or you simply need fresh hope for today, pause for these few moments and remember where your true help is found. Psalm 121:1–2 (NIV) “I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth.” What a wonderful promise to begin this day. Our help is not built upon our own ability, but upon the faithfulness of the God who created heaven and earth. Whatever lies before us today, we do not walk into it alone. So let’s quietly remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ is our constant help, our living hope and our faithful guide through every step of this day. Father, thank You for the gift of another morning. Thank You that Your mercy greets us afresh, Your wisdom goes before us and Your presence walks beside us wherever this day may lead. Lord Jesus, strengthen every listener today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, courage to those facing difficult decisions, comfort to those carrying hidden burdens and renewed hope to everyone wondering how they will keep going. Help us to lift our eyes towards You before we look at our circumstances. Holy Spirit, fill our hearts with quiet confidence, steady our thoughts and help us reflect the kindness, peace and love of Christ in every conversation today. Across the world, from Perth to Christchurch, from Singapore to Dallas and Santiago, may every listener discover that their greatest help comes from the Lord, whose faithfulness never fails. Jesús, mi ayuda viene del Señor. Jesus, a minha ajuda vem do Senhor. Jesus, ang tulong ko ay nagmumula sa Panginoon. Amen.

Welcome To Daily Prayer

SPEAKER_00

Welcome to Daily Prayer. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper coming to you live from our studios in London, England. Let's open God's word together and let's pray together. God bless you. It is early morning. I hope and pray you slept well in the mighty name of Jesus Christ. We're going to jump through and I invite you to stay just for these four minutes, just before we progress any further in our working day. Whatever is happening,

Lift Your Eyes For Help

SPEAKER_00

don't ever give up. We're in Psalms 121, verse 1. This is the title of the prayer. Lift your eyes. Your help comes from the Lord. Father, help me to lift my eyes. Lord, my eyes are still tired. Lord, we're wiping sleep out of the corner of our eyes right now. Because Lord, it is early. Lord, before the sun comes through the bedroom window, before we pull the curtains back on a brand new day. Lord, before the grass, dear God, starts to spring forth, before the dew lifts off the grass of life. Lord, before, dear God, this day unfolds. Spirit of the living God, I pray in the glorious name of Jesus Christ, whatever season we are in right now, Lord, as we lay in bed, Lord, as we think about the responsibilities, the fears that lie ahead, Lord, I pray for calm at the name of Jesus. Help us to pause, to be still and to gather our

breath. But Lord, there are three areas of our lives that we are praying for right now. Lord, we need help, we need hope, and we need confidence in Jesus' name. But Lord, as this day gently starts to unfold, Lord, we're already in the office while we're laying in our bed because our mind is already in the office scenario. Lord, we're already at school even though we're laying in bed. Lord, we are already at work. Lord, we're on the commute, but Lord, we're still laying in our bed simply because our mind is already racing forward. So Lord, help us to stop racing our thoughts forward. And Lord, help us to focus on Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Savior. But Lord, the responsibilities that lie ahead, the calendar events, the challenges that are just lying in the wings of life.

Let Go Of The Baton Of Fear

SPEAKER_00

Holy Spirit, we come to you. Lord, as we run the race of life, Father, just like an athlete, Lord, I pray that we'll hand the baton on. Lord, we are running this race. And Lord, will you help us to let go of the baton of fear of doubt? Lord, as we let go of that baton, as we let go of worry, doubt, fear, feeling scared, the responsibilities, the uncertainties. Lord, as we go around the track of life, Holy Spirit, I pray through the relay race of life that we will let go of the baton. And Lord, it is so difficult at this last stage of the race to hand it over. Help us to let go and to let God. Help us to let go of the baton at this hour. Because Lord, we're already in work, we're already at school, we're already on the commute, and we're still laying in our bed right now because our mind is already in front. So Lord, I pray that we will find a place of calm, we will find a place of stillness, and the Spirit of the living God will speak directly to our hearts. So Lord, help us to let go of the baton. Help us, dear God, to pause, to gather our breath. Holy Spirit, I pray for whatever situation, whatever trial, whatever worry, whatever fear, I thank you, Lord, that you are strengthening us, you are carrying us. Open our eyes. We want to look to the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. And Lord, we pray through the beautiful prayers of David. Psalm 121, verse 1. I lift my eyes to the mountain. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. Lord, you are the maker of heaven and earth. You are the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords. You are that Jehovah Jirah. And Lord, you are the Lion

of Judah. And right now we stretch out from this bed. We stretch right out from the workplace. We stretch right out from this studio. Live in London, England. Father, we stretch out to Perth, Christchurch, Singapore, Dallas, Santiago. Lord, we pray for one another right now. We're praying for confidence. We're praying for hope. We're praying for help. Because, Lord, that's the cry of our heart right now. Lord, above everything else, Lord, the main prayer is, please, Lord, help. Lord, as we go through the valley of the shadow of death, Lord, we're never gonna fear, we're never gonna doubt anymore because we invite God in to the rhythm of our life, every situation. Lord, you're walking with us wherever we are, from the four corners of this world, Spirit of the Living God, I pray that heaven will breathe over us right now. And Lord, as we get ready to get out of this bed, Lord, as we comb our hair, put our makeup on, Lord, jump in the shower, get the lunch ready, Lord, as we prepare the children, Holy Spirit, as we get ready to leave the house, I pray that the Spirit of the Lord will carry each and every one of us. Bless us, Lord, in your unfailing love. And Lord, remind us right now, as we remind one another, Lord, that fear will never win and that we are grafted into the vine. I believe the Spirit of the Lord is over your life. Wherever you are, let's lift our eyes to Jesus. Let's focus on Jesus Christ, our Lord and our Savior. Have a beautiful morning. Don't ever give up. Come on, let's get in today. Holy Spirit, I pray that you'll bless every heart that's with me. Lord, carry everyone, give them strength. Lord, let your mercy and your grace be over their lives. May the Spirit of the Lord carry you across this world in the greatest name in heaven and earth.
