Luke 12:32 (NIV) — Do Not Be Afraid, Little Flock Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Today’s Nations: Netherlands • Ireland • India • Israel • Nigeria • South Korea Theme: Assurance • Belonging • Peace The evening has arrived, and the pace of the day is beginning to slow. There is something comforting about this quieter part of the day, when we can pause and look back without rushing ahead. Perhaps today has gone as you hoped, or perhaps it has unfolded differently. Whatever this day has held, Jesus speaks with remarkable tenderness. He calls His followers “little flock,” reminding us that we are never forgotten, never abandoned and never outside the Father’s loving care. Before we think about tomorrow, let’s rest for a moment in that wonderful assurance. Scripture (NIV) “Do not be afraid, little flock, for your Father has been pleased to give you the kingdom.” — Luke 12:32 Heavenly Father, thank You for the kindness and compassion You show to us through Your Son, Jesus Christ. Thank You that we belong to You and that Your loving care surrounds us every day. As this evening unfolds, help us to release every lingering fear into Your hands and rest in the confidence that You delight in caring for Your children. Teach us to trust Your goodness when we cannot yet see tomorrow clearly. May the Holy Spirit fill our hearts with quiet assurance, strengthen our faith and remind us that Your promises remain true. Thank You that Your kingdom is built on grace, love and hope, and that nothing can separate us from Your faithful care. Fear will not win, because our loving Father delights to keep His children safely in His care. May the Lord surround you this evening with His perfect peace, remind you that you belong to Him and fill your heart with quiet confidence as you rest in His unfailing love. Que el Señor te rodee esta tarde con Su paz perfecta, te recuerde que le perteneces y llene tu corazón de una serena confianza mientras descansas en Su amor inagotable. Que o Senhor envolva você nesta noite com a Sua paz perfeita, lembre você de que pertence a Ele e encha o seu coração de tranquila confiança enquanto descansa no Seu amor que jamais falha. Nawa’y palibutan ka ng Panginoon ngayong gabi ng Kanyang ganap na kapayapaan, ipaalala sa iyo na ikaw ay Kanya at punuin ang iyong puso ng tahimik na pagtitiwala habang nagpapahinga sa Kanyang walang hanggang pag-ibig.  Daily Prayer, Luke 12, Do Not Be Afraid Little Flock, Evening Prayer, Christian Podcast, DailyPrayer.uk Luke 12:32 prayer, do not be afraid little flock, Christian evening prayer, God’s loving care, DailyPrayer.uk Hidden Treasures: Discover more Bible-centred prayers in the Hidden Treasures library, inspired by Isaiah 45:3 (NIV).

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 wherever you are across the world. Thank you for joining me for the duration of this day and thank you for locking in for just for these four or five minutes. But also, will you stay with me as we gently move in a few hours to the closing prayer of today? But we're going to focus on where we are right now. Grab a tea, grab a coffee. You know, take time out. Life is busy and chaotic. Wherever you are, try and pause a minute. If it is possible and it is safe, just take four to five

Luke 12:32 And Today’s Focus

minutes out. And we're going to jump straight through to the Gospel of Luke, chapter 12, verse 32. Grab a tea and a coffee. Come on, join with me. This is the title of our prayer. Do not be afraid, little flock.

Praying Against Fear And Panic

SPEAKER_00

Holy Spirit, Lord, I thank you that the Lord is our shepherd. I thank you that you call us by name. Lord, that you are our shepherd and all things are possible to those who believe. But Lord, as we look at the news channels, we capture social media, we listen to the political leaders around the world. Father, we watch the world just moving. Holy Spirit, Lord, no wonder we get afraid. But you tell us very clearly and you call us little flock. And Lord, as we pray through Luke 12, verse 32, do not be afraid, little flock. Your father has been pleased with you and to give you the kingdom. Holy Spirit, we thank you that the Father has been pleased to give us the kingdom. Right now, Lord, as we walk in the power, as we walk in scripture, as we walk in the hand of God, we walk in the anointing of God. Lord, wherever we are right now, Lord, we're praying for miracles. We're praying for breakthrough. And Lord, you tell us through the beautiful book of Luke 12, do not be afraid. Lord, take the panic, take the fear, take the doubt. Lord, we go to work sometimes with fear. Lord, we live our lives with fear. Lord, we're on the shop floor with fear. Lord, we're on the factory floor with fear. We're at school, we're at college. Lord, we're in the gym. We're in life. We're sitting at home on the sofa. And Lord, fear comes in like a flood. Suddenly, Lord, sometimes it just trickles. It just trickles in and all of a sudden it expands. Father, it just seems to blow up out of nowhere. And suddenly we find ourselves in a panic. And Lord, we find our body being scared. And Lord, we get into that posture of fight or fly. Lord, we don't want to live by fight or fly. We want to live by faith. So Lord, we come to you right now and we pray for three areas of a spiritual rise in our lives,

Assurance That We Belong

SPEAKER_00

a spiritual uplift. Lord, we want to feel the assurance of God. Lord, sometimes when the world presses, the responsibilities, the feelings, relationships, the children, the mortgages, the rents, the cars, the vans, the social life that we have, Holy Spirit, help us, dear God, to know that we belong, that we are grafted into the vine, that nothing can separate us from the good shepherd. And Lord, I pray for anyone that feels really tender right now, anyone that feels really scared right now, anyone that feels really vulnerable, anyone that feels that they've been forgotten. Lord, I thank you that you never forget us and you never leave us. Lord, that we are not forgotten, that we are grafted into

Peace For A Pressured World

SPEAKER_00

the vine. But Lord, as this evening unfolds, Holy Spirit, as fear starts to linger, Lord, as fear comes in like fog. Suddenly, Lord, we can see a little bit of fog coming. Suddenly, the fog of fear is over us and we can't see. The vision's gone. Dear God, the hope is gone. Lord, and we are living in doubt. We are living in disappointments and discouragements. But Lord, we don't want to live like that. Lord, as we call the things that are not as though they are, Lord, we speak to that fear to go. Because you tell us through the gospels, do not be afraid. Lord, I pray that we will speak this message, this prayer over our lives, and we will not be afraid. Lord, as we pray out live from London, England, all the way to the Netherlands, Ireland, India, Israel, Nigeria, South Korea. Lord, we're praying, dear God, for peace. And Lord, as we pray for that peace, we will find that the presence of God draws us deep. Lord, we want to walk with Jesus. Lord, what are you saying to us now? Lord, as this evening starts to come in, Lord, speak. Lord, let us hear your voice through the rushing way of the world. Lord, the wind is rushing against us. The tide is against us. Life is against us. The financial pressures are against us. But Lord, we believe. Lord, we believe that this evening is a new day, a new breakthrough, a new hour, a new evening. Lord, under the sound of my voice, wherever we are, Lord, let us realize that we are grafted into the vine, that nothing can separate us from the love of God. And Lord, as we progress, Lord, I thank you that there is that assurance, that there is that hope that we belong. And Lord, as we belong, Lord, I thank you that peace is coming down. Lord, let peace just flow like a new river. Holy Spirit, wherever we are right now, I thank you, dear God, for new beginnings. Lord, we are not going to be afraid because Jesus Christ is with us. So from the battlefield to the boredroom, to the field of life, Lord, we are expecting new beginnings. We are expecting, dear God, that we know that we belong. And Lord, with that, we got peace and we got reassurance. So right now, wherever we are across this planet, I pray that the love of God will carry you. The anointing of God will be over you. Don't ever give up. God loves you. Jesus is with you.
