Psalm 121:1–2 — Lift Your Eyes to the Lord Live from our studios in London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Adelaide • Queenstown • Singapore • Phoenix • Montevideo HELP • CONFIDENCE • 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 begins to settle, it is easy to focus on everything that still feels unfinished. Our minds can replay conversations, revisit disappointments and wonder what tomorrow might bring. Yet before the evening slips into night, God gently calls us to lift our eyes beyond today’s concerns and look towards the One whose strength never fails. Our circumstances may change, but the Lord remains faithful. 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 reminder for this evening. Our confidence is not built upon our own ability to solve every problem but upon the God who created heaven and earth. His power has not diminished, His compassion has not grown weary and His faithfulness has not changed. So this evening, let’s gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ is our constant helper, our faithful Shepherd and our everlasting hope. Father, thank You that You remain our help in every season of life. Thank You that when we grow tired, You remain strong, when we become uncertain, You remain faithful and when we feel weak, You remain near. Lord Jesus, encourage every listener this evening. Bring healing to those who are unwell, comfort to those carrying heavy burdens, peace to anxious hearts and renewed confidence to everyone who feels overwhelmed. Help us lift our eyes to You and rest in Your unfailing care. Holy Spirit, quiet our thoughts, strengthen our faith and remind us that our help comes from the Lord, who never leaves nor forsakes His people. Across the world, from Adelaide to Queenstown, from Singapore to Phoenix and Montevideo, may every listener end this day with renewed confidence, knowing that their help comes from the Lord. Jesús, mi ayuda viene de Ti. Jesus, o meu auxílio vem de Ti. Jesus, ang tulong ko ay nagmumula sa Iyo. Amen.

Welcome And Settle Into 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 the early evening devotional prayer time. The curtains are going to close in a few hours on today. But before we get to that situation, let's pray through this early evening devotional

Psalm 121 And The Call Upward

SPEAKER_00

prayer time. We're going to jump straight through to Psalms 121, verse 1. This is the title of this early evening devotional prayer time together. Lift your eyes to the Lord. Father, this is easy. This is easy to say. This is easy to read. This is easy to pray. But Lord, will you help me? Lord, I need you to lift my eyes. Because Lord, my eyes are fixed on the world. And Lord, that's not a good thing to pray. But Lord, I need you to lift my eyes. Lord, my eyes are fixed on work, ministry, life, the rhythm of the world. Holy Spirit, will you help me to fix my eyes on Jesus? Lord, you tell us through the beautiful prayers of David, Psalm 121. I lift my eyes to the mountains. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. But Lord, give me that confidence. Give me that faith to take my eyes off of the world, off of emotions, off of the rhythms, of situations that are around us. Lord, help me to look to Jesus. Lord, as that great Hebrew writer writes, fix your eyes on Jesus, the author and the perfecter of our faith. Lord, I thank you that you

Naming What Steals Our Focus

SPEAKER_00

are yes and amen. You are the first and you are the last. You are Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Nissi. Lord, you are the Lion of Judah. And Lord, I want to fix my eyes on you, Lord, at work, at home, in life, wherever I am, whatever I am doing, whatever my life is reflecting. Lord, I want to fix my eyes on Jesus. Lord, I want to fix my heart with the King. Lord, I want to walk with you at a level that I've never walked before. Lord, we want to walk in the power of anointing. But Lord, help us to fix our eyes on the Lord. Lord, help me to lift my eyes to the Lord. Help me to lift my face, my circumstances, my my everything. Lord, through this prayer time as we think and pray and as we pause, Lord, and we just be very real through this early evening devotional prayer time. Lord, we got our eyes fixed on social media. Lord, we got our eyes fixed on the shipping lanes. Lord, we got our eyes fixed on work, river, money, finances, culture, family, friends, relationships. Lord, we got our eyes fixed on so much within the world. But Lord, help me to fix my eyes on the King. And Lord, I want to fix my heart on the King. Lord, I want to hear, dear God, the love of God. Lord, I want to feel the presence of Jesus. I want to walk like I've never walked before. Lord, I want to focus, Lord, everything I've got on Jesus. Lord, I want to give you everything I've got. Lord, I thank you, dear God, that you love us unconditionally. And Lord, even when I don't fix my eyes on you, Lord, you still love us. Lord, I thank you that there is nothing on this earth that can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. But Lord, I want to be like David as he wrote this. I want to be like David David as he cried this out. I lift my eyes to the mountains. Where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. Lord, I don't want to fix my eyes on sickness and disease. I don't want to fix my eyes on monetary issues. I don't want to fix my eyes on social media. I don't want to fix my eyes on emotions. I want to fix my eyes on Jesus. I want to fix my eyes on my healer. I want to fix my eyes on my king. I want to fix my eyes on the savior of heaven and earth.

Prayer For Revival And Steady Faith

SPEAKER_00

And Lord, as we stretch out live from London, England, all the way to Adelaide, all the way to Queenstown, Singapore, Phoenix, Montreal. Father, we are praying for revival right now. Lord, we need help. We need confidence. And Lord, I need more security. Father, I come to you, Lord, and I apologize and I say sorry. Lord, when my faith disappears out of my boots, Lord, help me to be more faithful. Help me to fix my eyes on Jesus. But Father, I thank you, Lord, that your love is unconditional. And Lord, let's remind one another right now, fear is never gonna win. You are our shepherd, you are faithful, and Lord, you are our hope. And whatever season we are going through right now, your love is a constant. Your word is yes and amen. You remain strong. You are the first and you are the last. But right now, help us, Lord, encourage us, lift our eyes right now. Help us to soar on wings as of eagles. But right now, through this quiet time, maybe through the noisy time of this early evening, help us, Lord, to keep our eyes on Jesus. May the Spirit of the Lord carry you. May we all lift our eyes to Jesus, the author and the perfecter of our faith.
