Proverbs 3:5–6 (NIV) — Trust God When You Don’t Know Which Way to Go Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Perhaps the day has already started moving quickly around you. There are things that need your attention, decisions waiting for an answer, and perhaps one situation where you honestly don’t know which way to turn. You may have thought about it from every angle, but still don’t have the clarity you want. This morning, God is not asking you to know everything. He is asking you to trust Him. Proverbs 3:5–6 says, “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.” Father, we bring You the decisions we are carrying today. Where we have been trying to work everything out ourselves, help us to loosen our grip and place those things into Your hands. Give us wisdom to recognise the next step, patience when the answer does not come immediately, and courage to follow You when the path becomes clearer. Lord Jesus, we also pray for people and communities across New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria and Rwanda. Meet those who are making important decisions for their families, their work and their communities. Give leaders wisdom, give parents strength, give workers encouragement, and bring hope to anyone who feels uncertain about what comes next. Holy Spirit, keep us from confusing our need for certainty with our need for God. Sometimes we want to see the whole road before we take the first step, but faith often means trusting the One who already knows where the road leads. So today, help us take the next right step with Jesus, without demanding that tomorrow’s answers arrive today. When we don’t know which way to go, remind us that we are not walking alone. We can trust You with what we understand, what we don’t understand, and everything that lies between. Fear will not win, because I can trust God even when I cannot see the whole way ahead. Father, lead us today, and teach us to recognise Your voice as we walk with You. Amen. Blessing: Que Dios te guíe hoy y te dé sabiduría para cada paso que tengas que dar. Que Deus guie você hoje e lhe dê sabedoria para cada passo que precisar dar. Nawa’y gabayan ka ng Diyos ngayon at bigyan ka Niya ng karunungan sa bawat hakbang na iyong gagawin.

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. Good morning and welcome wherever you are across the world. Make a cup of tea, grab a coffee, take five minutes out. We're going to jump straight through to the beautiful prayers and the book of Proverbs 3, verse 5.

Thanks And A Simple Ask

SPEAKER_00

And I just want to pause a moment and just say thank you for standing with us, praying with us, and being with us. Thank you for locking in for these four or five minutes. But also, will you stay for the duration of the rest of the day as we pray together? We're never going to give up. And also, please, can you go into the back library? Then you can find that on Spotify, Google, uh, Amazon Music, all the platforms that we're pushing out on. Please share the prayers out with your family and your friends. Let's get the world praying around us. Come on, here we go. Here

Proverbs 3:5 Trust God

SPEAKER_00

we are. We're in Proverbs 3, verses 5. This is the title of our prayer. Trust God when you don't know which way to go. Holy Spirit, help me to pause. Just to gather my breath, to sit down, drink the tea and the coffee, pray together, and just come to the realization that Lord,

Overwhelm And Needing Direction

SPEAKER_00

I don't know what way to go. Because Lord, when I do the full 360 turn in my life, Lord, we got areas of our lives that are in full stretch right now. Lord, we got storms on the left, and on the right hand side, we got waves coming in. Holy Spirit, we got tsunamis coming against us. Father, we got emails, we got phone calls to make. Lord, we're tired and we are weary and we don't know what way to turn first. So Lord, will you lead us in the area of business, of home life, corporate, whatever area we're in, Lord, in the rhythm of our general life. Holy Spirit, Lord, we pray that you will help us, dear God, to lean into scripture more. Lord, that we will trust the scripture. And Lord, that we won't lean on our own understanding, but Lord, we're trusting the Lord with all of our heart. And Father, I thank you that guidance comes from the Word of God. And Lord, as we find that we are walking in trust and in the guidance of the Holy Spirit, Father, I thank you that I, we, us, we start to surrender. Lord, will you help us to surrender because we don't know what way to go? Lord, we got social media over here. We got the news channels over there, Lord. We got church and religion down here. Lord, we got everything breaking out around us. And Lord, from the battlefield to the boardroom, to the field of life, from the shop floor to the scaffold, wherever we are, whatever the rhythm is right now, Holy Spirit, help us to pause, just to gather our breath and to take four to five minutes out and just say, Jesus, I want to trust you more. Holy Spirit, I want to trust you when I don't know what way to go. When the world is pulling me to the right, work is pulling me to the left. Family this way, life that way, social life that way, sports that way, church that way, rhythm that way. Lord, we are being pulled in every direction. And Lord, we have lost a sense of our direction. Lord, we have lost our handle on life. And right now I pray that you help us to breathe. And wherever we are, I thank you that you are with us in

Peace, Strength And Midday Prayer

SPEAKER_00

our decisions. Lord, I thank you that you walk with us, Jesus, that you never leave us nor forsake us. And as we walk through Proverbs 3, verse 5, trust in the Lord with all of your heart. Lean not on your own understanding in all your ways. Submit your life to him, and he will make your path straight. Holy Spirit, I thank you that your word is a lamp unto our feet, a light for our path. And as we stretch out live from London, England, all the way to New Zealand, South Africa, Kenya, Ghana, Nigeria, Rwanda, Lord, we are believing that the power and the anointing of God is over our lives, from the factory floor to the world, the God, wherever we are, whatever the rhythm, from that shop floor to the rhythm of the world. Lord, from the rhythm of the world, Lord, we want to break the rhythm of the world. And Holy Spirit, we call on Jehovah Jirah, Jehovah Nissi, Jehovah Shalom. And Lord, we are looking for power right now. Lord, we want to go in trust. We want to walk in the guidance and in faith. And Lord, as we walk in faith and guidance and trust, I thank you, Lord, that I, us, and we, we are learning to surrender over to Jesus Christ. So help us, Lord, to trust in the Lord with all of our heart and lean not on our own understanding, but in every area of our lives. Submit ourselves to Him and He will make your path straight. Father, I thank you for everyone under the sound of my voice. Give us wisdom, give us strength, give us encouragement wherever we are, from the battlefield to the boardroom, to the field of life, from every sunset to every rainfall. Lord, we believe in miracles. We believe in the power of God and we are walking in destiny steps. We are walking victorious. We are walking by faith. We are walking in the love of God. We are walking in your presence because Jesus, you never leave us nor forsake us. That we are grafted into the vine. And Lord, I pray that we will find the divinity, Lord, so strong in our life today that we will find the power and the anointing of God. So, Spirit of the living God, I pray that you will refresh us, you will restore us, and you will lead us in paths of righteousness. That the power of God will lift us from the prison to the hospice, from the hospice to the van, from the van to the car, to the bus stop, to the hospital, to just a general rhythm of life wherever we are. Bring healing, bring peace, bring your glory. But Lord, I thank you. When we don't know which way to go, you lead us in paths of righteousness. Have a beautiful morning. Don't ever give up. We are grafted into the vine. Fear can never win. The Spirit of the Lord is over all of our lives. But will you join me in a few hours for the midday prayer? Come on, let's get through these hours. God bless. Have a beautiful morning.
