Psalm 23:1 — Powerful Night Prayer for Comfort, Rest, and God’s Peace in the Dark Hours

12 A.M. Release — Recorded live here in London, England — from London to Toronto, from Sydney to Nairobi — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope.

Scripture (NIV)

“The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.” — Psalm 23:1 (NIV)

Show Notes

When the world sleeps and the night feels long, Psalm 23 reminds us that God does not leave us unguarded. The Shepherd does not sleep, drift, or distance Himself. He is watching, leading, and covering you — even in the hours when fear, loneliness, or overthinking try to rise.

This midnight prayer is for every believer fighting silent battles, carrying invisible pressure, or lying awake with a restless heart. You are not abandoned in the darkness. The Shepherd is close. His presence steadies your breathing, calms your mind, and restores your spirit.

Across the world — from London to Toronto, from Sydney to Nairobi — believers are standing with you. Tonight, we trade worry for peace, exhaustion for rest, and fear for confidence in the Shepherd who never fails.

Let your heart say aloud: “The Lord is my Shepherd — I will not fear the night.”
