Psalm 23:1–3 (NIV) — The Good Shepherd Is Still Leading You Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Today’s Nations: Australia • Canada • Brazil • Romania • France • Hungary Theme: Shepherding • Peace • Restoration The middle of the day has a way of asking a lot from us. There are still things to finish, people to help and decisions to make. Sometimes we keep going without realising how tired our hearts have become. Yet the Lord never rushes ahead of us or leaves us to find our own way. He walks with us as a shepherd walks with his sheep—patiently, faithfully and with constant care. Before you continue with the rest of your day, let’s pause together and place ourselves once again under His loving guidance. Scripture (NIV) “The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.” — Psalm 23:1–3 Heavenly Father, thank You for being our faithful Shepherd. Thank You that You know every step we have taken today and every step that still lies ahead. When we begin to feel weary, refresh our souls. When we lose our sense of direction, gently guide us back to Your paths. Help us to hear Your voice above every distraction and to trust Your leading with peaceful hearts. May Your presence bring calm where there is pressure, wisdom where there is uncertainty and renewed strength for everything that remains before us today. Fear will not win, because the Good Shepherd never stops leading those who belong to Him. May the Lord refresh your soul today, guide your every step and fill your heart with the quiet confidence that comes from walking with your faithful Shepherd. Que el Señor renueve hoy tu alma, guíe cada uno de tus pasos y llene tu corazón de la paz que sólo Él puede dar. Que o Senhor renove hoje a sua alma, conduza cada passo do seu caminho e encha o seu coração com a paz que somente Ele pode dar. Nawa’y panariwain ng Panginoon ang iyong kaluluwa ngayon, gabayan ang bawat hakbang mo at punuin ang iyong puso ng Kanyang kapayapaan.

Welcome And Settle In

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. I invite you to pause and just to grab something to eat right now. Get yourself a tea or a coffee. Just take those five minutes out. Come on, let's rest together, let's pray together. I invite you to stay. Get that tea, get that coffee, just find a place, just to sit by the roadside of life and just gather your thoughts right now. Let's pause together and let's get into the power of prayer. But also, wherever you are, continue to join me for the duration

Psalm 23 And The Good Shepherd

SPEAKER_00

of this day. And we're in Psalms 23, verse 1. This is the title of our prayer together. The Good Shepherd is still leading you. Father, we thank you that the Good Shepherd is still leading us, that you never leave us nor forsake us. Wherever we are across this world, Lord, the cry today is just Jesus. Lord, the cry today is just Lord. The cry today is just Holy Spirit. Lord, I thank you that you are our shepherd. And right now, as we pray through Psalm 23, as we walk through the prayers of David, the scripture says, The Lord is my shepherd. I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he restores my soul, he guides me in paths of righteousness for his namesake.

Courage For Worry And Trials

SPEAKER_00

Father, we thank you that you are our good shepherd, and no weapon forged against us shall prosper. But I pray, dear God, that we will rise on wings as of eagles. Lord, I pray for anyone that is scared, anyone that is worried. Lord, whatever the rhythm of the drumbeat of life is, Lord, we come to you right now because you are our shepherd. You are the good shepherd, and you are still leading us through the battles, through the trials, through the worries, through the hospital appointments, to the prison visits, to whatever is going on in our lives. Holy Spirit, Lord, help us to be real and authentic. And Lord, I thank you that the word of God is in our spirit. I thank you, dear God, that you are giving us patience. Lord, I thank you that your love is just a constant right there, that your presence never leaves us nor forsakes us. But Lord, we are looking for three areas of an uplift in our lives. Lord, let us realize, Lord, clear our vision right now that you are shepherd in each and every one of us, that you are the good shepherd. And Lord, you are leading us today beside quiet waters, by a still place, by a river of refreshment. And Lord, just remind us right now that the power and the glory of God is in our lives.

Peace In Work And Home Pressure

SPEAKER_00

And Lord, not only do we need shepherding, Lord, we need peace. Father, above everything else, right now, we need that peace. Lord, we're at work and the world is noisy. The phone hasn't stopped, the emails are coming through. Lord, we're going from one meeting to another meeting. Lord, we're just trying to work out and logistically get our lives in some form of order. The world is so fast and furious. Lord, we got the children at the daycare. Lord, we're looking after the children. We're at home. We're trying to work from home. The pressure of life is just too much. So, Lord, we need restoration. And wherever we are, from the battlefield to the boardroom, to the field of life, we stretch out and we just call on the good shepherd. We say, Father, in the name of Jesus, will you shepherd us through the valley of trials? Will you shepherd us through the valley of discouragement? Will you shepherd us through the valley of hunger, of uncertainty? Father, we are hungry for you. Father, as we stretch out live from this studio in London, England, all the way to Australia, Canada, Brazil, Romania, and France, and Hungary. Lord, we are looking for restoration. We are looking for peace. And Lord, will you help us, dear God? Clear our vision. Give us focus. Holy Spirit, give us wisdom today.

Freedom From Chains And Calm Minds

SPEAKER_00

Lord, there is a lot breaking out. Father, I pray that you will cut the ties. I pray that you will cut the soul ties. I pray, dear God, that you will cut the chains of adversity. The shackles are gone. There is freedom in the name of Jesus Christ. Lord, that we are growing and we are glowing. Holy Spirit, we are glowing with the anointing and the power of God. And Lord, whatever the rhythm of today is, whatever the situation, Lord, I pray that you will calm our minds down, that you will bring peace and restoration, and we will realize that the Good Shepherd is shepherding each and every one of us, from the battlefield to the boardroom, to the field of life, to the pedicure, to the barbers, to the prison, to the hospital, to the hospice, to the field of life, wherever we are, Spirit of the Living God, bring that peace to our hearts right now. And Lord, I pray that your presence will carry us today and we will find that the Spirit of the Lord is lifting us out of the trouble of life. Lord, out of the shipwreck of life, out of the car crash of life, Lord, out of the carnage. Holy Spirit, I thank you that we are rising on wings as of eagles, that we are blessed and highly favored, wonderfully and fearfully made.

Hidden Treasures And Closing Invitation

SPEAKER_00

Wherever you are, don't ever give up, don't ever give in. We are grafted into the vine. The Spirit of the Lord is over your life. But let's discover hidden treasures in the back library. Holy Spirit, I pray as we pedal out of this prayer, that we will find hidden treasures in the Word of God. Let us rise today in the glorious name of Jesus Christ. Have a beautiful day wherever you are. Don't ever give up. But I invite you as always for a few hours' time as we lock in for our early evening time together as we pray around the Word of God. Have a beautiful day. God bless you in Jesus' name.
