Welcome And A Long Day

SPEAKER_00

Welcome to Daily Prayer. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper coming to you live from our studios in London, England. Let's open the word of God together and let's pray together. God bless you wherever you are. I hope you're okay. And we've got through right now to the close of this day. I've got to laugh because what a day it's been today. I hope you're okay. The pressure is intense, the world is absolutely crazy, but we got to trust in Jesus Christ and we're going to lock straight through to prayer

Scripture Focus And Thanks

SPEAKER_00

together. And we're going to go to Deuteronomy 31, verse 8. But before we do, I just want to say thank you to everybody that is sharing these prayers out, that are pushing them out across your social media groups, your networks, your families, your pastors, and your leaders. Thank you so much to everyone that stays with us and we pray together. You know, God is moving in your life and in my life through the power of prayer. We don't ever give up. But as I said, we're in Deuteronomy 31, verse 8. Stay with me for these four

Prayer For Stillness And Presence

SPEAKER_00

minutes. You can rest tonight because God goes before you. Father Lord, I pray for stillness. I pray, dear God, for calm. I pray, dear God, that the presence of God will be so strong, will be so powerful that we will feel the presence of the Messiah. That we will see the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords right now in our home. Right now we'll feel your presence, Jesus. Right now that we will realize that angels have been deployed, that heavenly hosts have been deployed because God's concern over us. So Lord, I pray, Lord, my voice is tired, our minds are tired. Lord, we've had a long day today. We're weary and exhausted. Lord, we're struggling for words to pray. Lord, we can't even read the word. Our eyes are closing. But Lord, I thank you that your love is unconditional. And Lord, even when we're tired and we can't pray, even when we're tired and we can't read, Lord, I thank you that you never leave us nor forsake us. That you're with us. And Lord, I thank you that your love is unconditional. But right now, Lord, we are praying for three areas of our lives. Lord, we want more of your presence. Holy Spirit, Lord, right now at this hour, we want more of your presence. And Lord, with your presence, Lord, we want to see ourselves walking in courage. And Lord, amongst the courage and the presence, Lord, will you let our heart rest? Lord, our heart is beating at such a pace. Our mind is racing so fast. Holy Spirit, we really need you. Lord, calm the thought pattern down. Holy Spirit, calm the heart down. And Lord, I thank you that you are already in our tomorrow, Jesus. And Jesus, you're already clearing up my today. And as we stretch out live from London, England, at this late night hour, Lord, we pray right the way through to Zimbabwe, Botswana, Russia, Rwanda, and all the way to Bahrain and Italy.

Deuteronomy 31:8 Against Fear

SPEAKER_00

Father, we are seeking the Father's heart right now. And as we pray through Deuteronomy 31, verse 8, the Lord Himself goes before you. And he will be with you. He will never leave you nor forsake you. Do not be afraid and do not be discouraged. Holy Spirit, I pray against discouragement. I pray against being afraid and fear. I pray, dear God, against the trappings of the worlds. And Lord, I thank you that we are not locking on to the rhythm of the world. Father, we don't want to bounce on the trampoline with the crowd of the world. Father, we want to walk by faith. Lord, we want to walk with your presence. We want to walk in courage. And Lord, as we walk through this life and as we lay down right now, Lord, I pray as we gather for rest. I ask you, God, that you will carry us faithfully through the midnight hour to the first light of dawn.

Rest, Encouragement, And Dawn Invitation

SPEAKER_00

And as this day comes to a close, Holy Spirit, help us to shut the laptop today. Help us to turn the key on today. Lord, help us to close the curtains on this day. And Lord, and help us to smile, because remind us, Lord, that fear can never win. Because the Lord goes before us and he never leaves us out. Father, I thank you that you never leave us out, that you never leave our side. And the Spirit of the Lord is living within us. Greater is He that is in me than He that is in the world. Have a beautiful sleep tonight. Don't ever give up. Thank you for staying with me for the duration of this day. But I invite you, as I always do, for the first prayer of dawn tomorrow, before the dawn chorus starts to rise. Let's pray together, but have a beautiful sleep. Don't ever give up. Be inspired by the power of the word of God. And the love of God is over your life. Good night, God bless, and I will see you for the first light of dawn.
