2 Corinthians 12:9 (NIV) — My Grace Is Sufficient for You Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. It is the middle of the day now. Perhaps the morning has gone well, or perhaps you have already reached the point where you are feeling tired, stretched or simply aware that you cannot do everything you hoped you could. Before you push yourself any further, take a moment with Jesus. You do not have to pretend to be stronger than you are. God already knows where you are tired. He knows what has become heavy. And His response is not disappointment. His grace is enough. Scripture (NIV) “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” — 2 Corinthians 12:9 Heavenly Father, thank You that You meet us honestly, not expecting us to hide our weakness from You. Lord Jesus, when we feel that we have reached the end of our own strength, help us to stop striving and receive Your grace. There are things today that we cannot control, people we cannot change and responsibilities that may feel bigger than our capacity. Help us to bring them to You rather than carrying them alone. Holy Spirit, remind us that weakness does not make us useless. Teach us to depend upon Christ rather than measuring ourselves by what we can accomplish. Where we are tired, give us grace for the next step. Where we are discouraged, renew our hope. Where we have made mistakes, help us receive Your mercy and begin again. Jesus, we don’t need to prove ourselves to You. We simply come as we are, trusting that Your grace is sufficient and Your power is greater than our weakness. Fear will not win, because Christ’s grace is sufficient, even when our own strength is not. Take a breath today. You don’t have to carry everything. Give what you can to Jesus, receive what you need from Him, and take the next step in His grace. Que la gracia de Cristo te sostenga hoy, renueve tus fuerzas y te recuerde que no tienes que llevar tus cargas solo. Que a graça de Cristo sustente você hoje, renove suas forças e lembre você de que não precisa carregar seus fardos sozinho. Nawa’y alalayan ka ng biyaya ni Cristo ngayon, panibaguhin ang iyong lakas, at ipaalala sa iyo na hindi mo kailangang dalhin ang iyong mga pasanin nang mag-isa.

Welcome And Why We Pray

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. Stand together and pray together. I just want to say thank you to everybody under the sound of my voice, wherever you are, whatever your time zone is, for staying with me. Even when I get tongue-tied and I stumble with pronunciations. I thank you for staying with me. You know, we do not edit anything. This is straight out of the bowel of truth. Without further ado, we're going to continue to pray. And can you please continue to share out these prayers with your families, your friends? Go into the back library of dailyprayer.uk. You will find us on Spotify, Apple, however you're capturing my voice, you know, Amazon Music, we are all around the world. The Spirit of the Living God is with you. We are never going to give up. There is power in prayer. Whether you've been praying right now, worshiping right now, or just journaling this morning, I invite you to pause to gather something to eat, just a quick bite to eat in the middle of this hour, in the middle of this day, before we go any further, grab something to eat, a cup of tea and a cup of coffee. Just sit down a moment and just gather your breath. Whether you're going to join me or just listen to this prayer, don't ever give up. But come on, let's lock together and stay with me for the duration

My Grace Is Sufficient

SPEAKER_00

of the day. This is the title of our prayer. 2 Corinthians chapter 12, verse 9. My grace is sufficient for you. Father, I thank you right now that that grace, that power, that beauty, that majesty, that glory, Lord, that sovereignty is enough for us. Your grace. Father, I thank you, Lord God, but Lord, just reveal your grace to us now. Lord, it's in the middle of the day. It's in the middle of the hour. And Lord, wherever we are, at home, at work, whatever the season, Lord, as we go through the summer, the spring, the autumn, dear God, I thank you for the winter of life. Whatever season we are in, however deep the valley is, however, Lord, the harduous road may be. Lord, I thank you for the power of endurance. And Lord, when I'm tired and I'm weary, Lord, I thank you that the Holy Spirit lifts us. Lord, when we're exhausted, Lord, we got battle fatigue. We are weary of life.

Strength In Weakness And Fear

SPEAKER_00

But right now, Lord, I pray that we won't engage to the news channels. We won't listen to the political drive. Lord, we will get and we will be immersed in the word of God. Lord, let your grace come over us like summer rain. Let your grace just flood our hearts right now. Lord, from the battlefield to the prison, from the prison to the car, to the commute run, to the airport, to being at home, to being a homemaker, to the hospice, to the hospital, to the barbers. Lord, wherever we are, whatever the season of our life looks like, I thank you that your grace is over our lives. And as we walk and pray through 2 Corinthians 12, verse 9, my grace is sufficient for you. For my power is made perfect in weakness. Lord, help me to pulse. Lord, I love that. Your power is made perfect in my weakness, in my fears, in my doubts, in my uncertainty. Lord, I thank you that the love of God is round everyone that's with me right now. I thank you, dear God, whatever city, whatever town, whatever village, whatever situation is breaking out right now, the opportunities, Lord, I pray, Father, the opportunities that lie before us, that we will live in grace. Lord, that your grace, Lord, is like summer rain. Lord, that you're blessing us from the crown of our head to the sole of our feet. Lord, we believe in miracles. And right now, when I'm weak and tired and scared and worried, your grace is enough. Lord, when I don't know what to do, your grace is enough. Lord, when I'm confused at work and I don't know what to do with life and I'm scared and I'm worried, the financial bills are coming through the door, the credit card, the debt, Lord, the rent and the mortgage, the phone bill, Lord, the petrol in the van and the car. Lord, when I get scared and worried, Lord, help me to breathe and to realize that your grace will get us through. Dear God, I pray that you will increase our faith, that we will walk by faith. Lord, and as we walk by faith, grace just comes down. But Lord, even when I'm laying on the bed, laying on the sofa, scared and worried, Lord, when I got tears coming down my face, when my heart is beating so fast, Lord, I feel like my heart is going to punch out of my chest when I'm so worried about life. Your grace is sufficient for us. So Lord, I pray right now, as we walk through 2 Corinthians 12, verse 9, my grace is sufficient for you. Father, Lord, I pray that you will be with the family on the other side of the mic. You will be with every brother, every sister, every voice, every heart. Lord, just remind us that your grace is sufficient for your power, the anointing, the glory, the love of God is sufficient for each and every one of us. And as we go through the valleys of weakness, as we go through the valleys of temptation, as we go through the valleys of fears, the valleys of doubts, Holy Spirit, please reveal yourself to us right now. Reveal yourself, God. Show us your purpose, show us that plan, but lift us in the grace, lift us in the anointing, lift us in the joy of the Lord. Father, let the joy of the Lord be our strength.

Prayer For Nations And Closing

SPEAKER_00

Wherever you are right now, live from London, England, all the way to Botswana, all the way to Italy, Rwanda, all the way, dear God, to Italy, again and again to the Vatican City. Pour out your spirit, Lord, on every nation, every tribe. Lord God, I pray for Israel. I pray for Bahrain. Lord, I pray for Afghanistan, Japan. Lord, let your spirit, Lord, every nation that is listening to my voice right now, every heart, Lord, wherever the brothers, the sisters, wherever the prayer warriors are right now, listening to my voice, wherever they are, Lord, whatever nation they are in, Lord, bless that nation, heal them, set them free, Lord, from the battlefield to the prison, from the prison, dear God, to the field of life, from the field of life to the shop floor. Holy Spirit, Lord, let your grace, let your grace calm down now, Lord. And Lord, just let us realize that your grace is enough. Have a beautiful day. Don't ever give up. Keep your eyes on Jesus. He loves you. Everything will be okay. Let's just pray like we've never prayed before. But I invite you to join me in a few hours for the mid evening time as we gather the mid evening prayer. Don't go too far. Have a beautiful day. Everything's gonna be okay. Grace is over your life. God bless.
