Standing at the Jordan: A Daily Prayer for When the Way Forward Seems Impossible
Scripture Reading: Joshua 3:14–17


Daily Christian Prayer Devotion with Reverend Ben Cooper

Welcome to the Daily Christian Prayer Devotion — your five-minute pause for powerful Scripture, focused prayer, and unshakable encouragement to anchor your day. This is your Daily Prayer Podcast, where each episode is built to strengthen faith, restore hope, and awaken the power of God in everyday life.

Today, we stand with the Israelites in Joshua 3, just steps from the Promised Land. But before them lies a barrier: the Jordan River in full flood. For us, that river might look like a financial burden, a crushing diagnosis, an anxious heart, or an emotional wound no one sees.

We open this devotional with an honest confession: “Lord, I’m scared today.” But that fear is met with bold faith: “This is the day I will see Your glory. This is the hour I will see Your power.” That’s what this daily prayer is all about—faith that moves forward, even when the waters haven’t parted yet.

Like the priests carrying the Ark of the Covenant, we must step forward in faith before the miracle comes. As we do, we lock shields of faith with believers around the world—praying together, believing together, trusting together.

📖 Let today’s 5-minute prayer guide you into divine courage. God is still the One who makes a way through what seems impassable. You are not alone, and your breakthrough may be one prayer away.
