Psalm 46:1 (NIV) — God Is Our Refuge and Strength Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. United Kingdom • Germany • Austria • Belgium • France • Netherlands Refuge • Strength • Confidence Good morning. Before today begins to ask anything of you, pause for a moment and remember where your confidence truly comes from. Long before this day appeared on your calendar, the Lord was already present. He knows every conversation, every responsibility and every unseen challenge that lies ahead. You do not have to begin this morning relying upon your own strength, because God Himself is your refuge, your safe place and your constant help. Psalm 46:1 (NIV) “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.” Heavenly Father, thank You for being our refuge in every season of life. Lord Jesus, when unexpected situations arise today, help us to remember that You are greater than every fear and stronger than every difficulty. Holy Spirit, fill us with quiet confidence as we walk into this new day. Give us wisdom in our decisions, kindness in our conversations and patience in every circumstance. When we feel uncertain, remind us that You remain steady. When we feel weary, renew our strength. May our lives reflect Your peace and Your goodness, and may everyone we meet see something of Your love shining through us today. Today we declare that fear will not win, because the Lord is our refuge, our strength and our ever-present help. We pray for every listener joining us from the United Kingdom, Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, the Netherlands and across the world. May the Lord go before you, strengthen you and fill your heart with His perfect peace throughout this day. Señor Jesús, gracias porque Tú eres nuestro refugio y fortaleza. Amén. Senhor Jesus, obrigado porque Tu és o nosso refúgio e fortaleza. Amém. Panginoong Jesus, salamat dahil Ikaw ang aming kanlungan at kalakasan. Amen.

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 wherever you are across this beautiful earth. We're gonna lock in for about four or five minutes for the early morning devotional prayer time. But I invite you to stay with me for the rest of the day, for the duration of our prayer day. Wherever you are, don't ever give up. I don't know about yourself, but I really feel like I need Jesus Christ in my life like never before. I'm gonna call on God. Come on, will

Father, before the sun rises, before the dew of the grass lifts off, Lord, we come before the King. And we say, Father, Lord, I really need you in my personal life. Lord, I need you, dear God, like never before. We're calling out to Jehovah Jireh, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom.

Refuge And Inner Strength For Today

SPEAKER_00

And Lord, as this day starts to present itself, before we pull these curtains back, Lord, we are praying for three areas of our lives. Lord, we want to feel that we are really deep in the refuge of God. Lord, not only do we want to find and be in the refuge of the Almighty Father, but Lord, we want to find that inner strength. We want to find that strength through the power of the word of God. And Lord, as we lay in bed, as we sit on the sofa, as we have a cup of tea and a coffee, before the kids get up, before we get in the van, before we commute across the world, Holy Spirit, will you help us to pause,

Confidence Over Fear And Trouble

SPEAKER_00

to gather our breath and just say, Jesus, dear God and heavenly Father, we need you. Lord, will you strengthen our physicality? Will you strengthen our mind and our bodies? But we believe in miracles. We believe in hope. And right now, Lord, we thank you that you are our refuge. You are our strength. And Lord, as we go forward in those two areas, Lord, I thank you that we're going to find confidence today. Lord, as the sun starts to rise, Lord, as we pull these curtains back, Lord God, I thank you for the power of the word of God. We're going to rise out of the ashes, dear God. We're going to get out of bed. Lord, we're going to have the confidence, Lord God. We're going to go in strength.

Praying For Listeners Across Europe

And we thank you that the love of God is over our lives. And as we pray through Psalms 46, verse 1, God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Lord, whatever season of life we are in right now, I thank you, dear God, that fear is never going to win. But Lord, help us to pause, to gather our breath. And Lord, whatever comes down the track of life today. Lord, whatever is going to happen, Lord, at work in meetings and responsibilities.

And Lord, we thank you that your love is shining through. Your love is so powerful. Your love is so beautiful. And right now, Lord, we thank you that you are our refuge. You are our strength. Lord, and we are going in confidence right now. And Lord, this is a beautiful day. Lord, we're going to rise out of the ashes. We're going to rise up today. And we're going to see miracles. We're going to walk in the word. We're going to walk with that confidence through conversations, responsibilities, the unseen challenges that lie ahead. Father, we are going to get into this day by the power of faith. And nothing can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus. But right now, Lord, I pray, right out of this studio, live in London, England, all the way to Germany, Austria, Belgium, France, the Netherlands, we are praying for a strength. We are praying for a confidence. And Lord, we rest in the presence of Jehovah Jairah, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom. And Lord, we pray through Psalms 46, verse 1. God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Father, we thank you that you are that very present help in trouble. And whatever comes our way, give us wisdom in decisions, kindness in conversations, patience in every situation. And Lord, I thank you, dear God, that the love of God is shining over each and every one of us. Remind us right now, Lord God, from the battlefield to the boardroom, fear is never going to win, that we're going to rise today. The blessings of the Lord is over your life.
