Ben Ward invites listeners to join morning prayer specifically for those suffering with anxiety.

The episode opens with a welcome and invitation to submit prayer requests via benwardmusic.com. A worship song emphasizes action and justice, leading into a time of confession where listeners acknowledge sin and seek forgiveness through Jesus. Psalm 101 is read, focusing on mercy, justice, and rejecting evil. Psalm 109 follows, expressing a cry for deliverance from enemies and trust in God's mercy. The Gospel reading from Mark features Jesus being questioned by religious authorities about his authority; he responds with a parable about tenants who kill the vineyard owner's son, illustrating rejection and judgment. The Apostles' Creed and Lord's Prayer are recited collectively. A collect prayer asks for God's strength and grace. Specific prayer time begins with thanksgiving, then intercession for various relationships, and a focused prayer for those suffering anxiety, referencing Philippians 4:6 and Psalm 27:1. The episode ends with a blessing and reminders about prayer requests and financial support. The format blends guided prayer, scripture readings, and musical worship, centered on daily liturgical practice.
