Today's Daily Christian Prayer Podcast, recorded live in London, England, takes us directly into God's promises with Isaiah 31:5: “Like birds hovering overhead, the Lord Almighty will shield Jerusalem; he will shield it and deliver it, he will ‘pass over' it and will rescue it.” This prayer is not about politics—it is about people, protection, and God's divine covering in times of chaos.Reverend Ben Cooper leads a powerful five-minute intercession for the safety of Israel's people, the peace of Jerusalem, and protection across the Middle East. We lift up families seeking shelter, children exposed to trauma, soldiers defending their homeland, and innocent civilians caught between opposing forces. This is prayer that goes beyond borders—calling on God's hand of mercy to shield, rescue, and restore.Payer points - prayer for safety of Israel's citizensprayer for protection of families in Israelprayer for children in Israel during warprayer for God's protection over Israelprayer for soldiers and defenders of Israelprayer for civilians caught in conflictprayer for Christians living in Israelprayer for protection of Jewish peopleprayer for divine shield over Israelprayer for God's covering in IsraelLife Application: The promise of God's protection in Isaiah isn't limited to Israel—it speaks directly into our lives today.

Send us a textBeyond Religion: Finding True Salvation in Jesus – Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional PodcastEpisode Description: What if everything you thought about church, salvation, and religion was turned upside down? In this devotional from London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper unpacks Psalm 91 to reveal a life-changing truth: you don't need church, you need Jesus.This message challenges the tendency to substitute religious performance for a genuine relationship with Christ. From the thief on the cross who entered paradise without rituals or sermons, to Jesus' words to Nicodemus about being “born again,” we uncover the radical reality that salvation is not about institutions but about heart transformation.Even as our bodies weaken, the soul remains eternal, “fearfully and wonderfully made.” Jesus Himself, “a man of sorrows,” understood pain, grief, and even mental anguish in Gethsemane—bringing hope to all who struggle with depression or anxiety.Psalm 91 reminds us that true peace and freedom are not found in religious checklists but in faith in the King of Kings. When we dwell in His presence, we discover divine refuge, strength, and hope for eternity.Biblical Foundation:Psalm 91:1–2 – “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty.”John 3:3 – “No one can see the kingdom of God unless they are born again.”Luke 23:42–43 – “Today you will be with me in paradise.”Episode Highlights:Salvation is not religious ritual but personal faith in Jesus.The thief on the cross shows that grace, not performance, secures eternity.Our bodies fade, but our souls remain eternal.Jesus carried sorrow and grief, offering hope to those who suffer.Psalm 91 as a refuge of faith, hope, and peace in uncertain times.Life Application: Don't measure your faith by outward performance.

Send us a textWho Is Jesus Christ? – Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional Podcast Who is Jesus Christ? This question lies at the very heart of Christianity, and yet many believers today find themselves challenged by competing religious claims that attempt to diminish His divine nature. In this powerful episode from London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper takes us deep into Scripture to uncover the biblical truth of Jesus as Creator, Saviour, and living God.Drawing from key passages in Hebrews, Colossians, and the Gospel of John, we see that Jesus is not a created being, but the Creator Himself—present at the beginning of time and instrumental in forming the universe. As John 1:3 declares, “Through Him all things were made; without Him nothing was made that has been made.” This unshakable truth sets Christianity apart from every other faith.Unlike the founders of other religions who remain in their tombs, Christ's grave stands empty. The historical reality of the resurrection validates Jesus' divine identity and authority in a way no other figure in history can claim. From Genesis to Revelation, Scripture reveals Him as “the image of the invisible God,” the eternal Word made flesh, and the One who reigns forever.This devotional is not about winning arguments—it's about knowing Christ personally. When we open God's Word and discover who Jesus truly is, we are moved to worship, not just debate. The Bible illuminates Christ, and Christ illuminates the path we are called to walk.Wherever you are in your faith journey, this episode will strengthen your understanding of Christ's divine nature and inspire you to seek Him more deeply through Scripture. Subscribe now and join us as we encounter the living Word of God together.Biblical Foundation:Hebrews 1:1–3 – Christ as the radiance of God's glory and sustainer of all thingsColossians 1:15–17 – Jesus as the image of the invisible God, Creator of all thingsJohn 1:1–3 – The Word who was with God and is GodEpisode Highlights:Why Jesus is not a created being but the eternal CreatorThe resurrection as ultimate validation of Christ's divine identityHow the entire Bible reveals Jesus from Genesis to RevelationThe call to worship Christ personally through Scripture, not argumentLife Application: Instead of focusing on debates with skeptics, let your faith grow deeper by knowing Jesus through the Word of God.

Send us a textExperiencing Divine Rest | Daily Christian Prayer Devotional Podcast | Hebrews 4:9-10Show Notes:Introduction & Scripture Focus: Rest is not optional—it is a sacred, divine command. Hebrews 4:9-10 reminds us: “There remains, then, a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For anyone who enters God's rest also rests from their works, just as God did from His.” Genesis 2:3 further shows God's example in creation: “Then God blessed the seventh day and made it holy, because on it He rested from all the work of creating that He had done.” And Jesus invites us personally in Matthew 11:28-30: “Come to Me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.”In today's daily Christian prayer devotional, Reverend Ben Cooper, recording live from London, England, guides you into God's holy rhythm with a five-minute prayer devotional that restores your soul and refreshes your spirit.Scriptural Insight: In a world that never stops pushing us toward exhaustion, rest often feels indulgent or unproductive. Yet Scripture teaches that true rest is a spiritual discipline, ordained by God Himself. Following the Sabbath principle aligns our hearts and minds with God's design and reminds us that spiritual, emotional, and physical restoration are part of His plan (Psalm 127:2: “In vain you rise early and stay up late, toiling for food to eat—yet He gives wisdom, strength, and rest to those who trust Him.”).Prayer Focus: This devotional addresses the barriers that keep us from God's rest: financial anxieties, fear of lack, and the relentless pressure to perform. Through guided prayer, listeners are encouraged to release these burdens and trust fully in God's provision: "Help me, Lord, to stop striving and trust fully in Your grace, mercy, and provision. Teach me to rest in You and to honor Your pattern of holy rest." Proverbs 3:5-6 reminds us: “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.”Practical Application: Whether you feel spiritually drained, emotionally exhausted, or physically overwhelmed, this daily devotional offers practical guidance for integrating God's rest into your everyday life. By making time for daily prayer devotional practice, you align with God's design for renewal, clarity, and peace.

In today's spiritually powerful devotional, we confront one of the most countercultural calls in Scripture: serving others as Jesus did.“For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” – Mark 10:45 (NIV)In a world obsessed with self-promotion, pride, and instant recognition, cultivating a genuine servant's heart can feel challenging. Yet God calls us to a higher standard — one of humility, compassion, and sacrificial love. This five-minute prayer devotional walks you through a transformative encounter with God, asking Him to shift your heart from self-centered ambition to Christ-centered service.“Help me to put the needs of others before my own earthly desires,” becomes the central prayer of today's reflection, guiding us to examine our motivations in work, family, and community. The devotional addresses the common struggles believers face: maintaining a servant attitude without growing weary, resisting the world's competitive mentality, and embracing Jesus' radical example of selfless love and obedience.Throughout this episode, Reverend Ben Cooper highlights practical life application: how your acts of service, grounded in humility, can become a beacon of God's love, drawing others closer to Christ.

Send us a textCommunion at Home – Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional PodcastWhat if the most sacred rituals of our faith weren't confined to church buildings? What if communion—that profound moment of remembrance and connection—could happen anywhere? In this soul-stirring episode of Communion at Home, Reverend Ben Cooper invites you into a radical rethinking of where and how we break bread together.Recorded in London, England, this powerful five-minute devotional draws deeply from Scripture, including Matthew 5:9: “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.” Reverend Cooper gently guides listeners in preparing their hearts and using simple elements—whether bread, juice, or wine—to participate in this ancient practice from the comfort of home, workplace, or any setting.The biblical foundation for this practice stretches back to Exodus 12-13, where God first instituted the Passover outside temple walls as a public, communal act of faith and remembrance. This historical insight reminds us that communion is not bound by buildings or formal ceremonies. As Reverend Cooper emphasizes, “You are the church; you are the body.” This liberating truth encourages believers to reclaim the sacredness of communion wherever they are.Whether you are taking communion for the first time or rediscovering its spiritual power, this devotional invites you to experience God's grace in a fresh and accessible way.Biblical Foundation:Matthew 5:9 — “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God.”Exodus 12-13 — The institution of Passover, commemorated through communion, as a public act of remembrance and faith beyond temple walls.1 Corinthians 11:23-26 — Paul's teaching on the Lord's Supper as a proclamationEpisode Highlights:Rethinking communion beyond church walls for daily spiritual nourishmentPractical guidance for creating a sacred communion experience at home or anywhereThe biblical roots of communion in Passover and New Testament teachingEmbracing the call to be peacemakers through repentance and reconciliationStrengthening faith Life Application:Today, commit to reclaiming communion as a personal and communal act of faith wherever you find yourself.

This episode speaks directly to those seeking spiritual truth, biblical clarity, and a deeper walk with Christ beyond church traditions. With a call to return to the flawless Word of God, this message invites listeners worldwide to experience authentic spiritual rebirth and divine transformation.Biblical Foundation: Psalm 18:30–35 (NIV) – "As for God, his way is perfect: The Lord's word is flawless; he shields all who take refuge in him. For who is God besides the Lord? And who is the Rock except our God? It is God who arms me with strength and keeps my way secure... You make your saving help my shield, and your right hand sustains me; you stoop down to make me great."This is not just a verse to be read—it's a divine standard that exposes the danger of adjusting God's Word to fit human preferences. His truth is perfect, timeless, and unchanging, standing above every culture, trend, or religious modification.Episode Highlights:The eternal difference between religious tradition and genuine relationship with Christ.Why the Bible is flawless and cannot be altered to suit modern culture.The Kingdom of God rising even as religious institutions fade.Experiencing God's presence beyond Sunday services.Understanding spiritual rebirth and salvation by grace.Psalm 18:35—The Almighty stooping down to lift His children.Finding refuge in the shield of God's Word in turbulent times.A call to spiritual revival in churches across nations.Life Application: Many believers have been taught religion but have never truly encountered Jesus. Church attendance can inspire, but only a personal relationship with Christ transforms the heart.

Send us a textSeek Justice – Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional PodcastEpisode Description: What does it truly mean to “learn to do right” and “seek justice” in today's complex and divided world? In this five-minute guided devotional from London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper unpacks Isaiah 1:17, calling us to live out biblical justice in every sphere—government, communities, workplaces, families, and personal relationships.Justice, in the Bible, is more than legal fairness. It is aligning our actions, attitudes, and systems with God's heart for what is good and right. This prayer begins with self-examination: Are we willing to speak truth when it's unpopular? Can we defend the vulnerable—the fatherless, the widow, and the silenced—without falling into arrogance or self-righteousness?Reverend Ben offers a balanced view: justice is both personal and collective. Personally, we are called to live by the fruit of the Spirit, showing humility, gentleness, and patience even when confronting wrongdoing. Collectively, we are urged to pray for righteous leadership, the exposure of corruption, and systems re-aligned with God's purposes. Justice is active, requiring courage, discernment, and persistence.Through ten focused prayer points, this devotional equips you to seek God's wisdom in knowing when to speak, how to act, and how to pursue justice without losing peace. We pray for strength to stand firm, compassion for the oppressed, and courage to advocate for change even when it comes at a cost.Whether you're wrestling with a workplace issue, confronting injustice in your community, or discerning your biblical role in advocacy, this prayer provides a spiritual framework. As you listen, allow the Holy Spirit to anchor you in humility while empowering you to be a faithful voice for truth. Justice, in God's kingdom, always flows from love—and this prayer calls you to live in that balance.Biblical Foundation: Isaiah 1:17 – “Learn to do right; seek justice. Defend the oppressed. Take up the cause of the fatherless; plead the case of the widow.”Episode Highlights:Understanding justice as both personal and systemic responsibilitySpeaking truth with humility and gracePraying for righteous leadership and exposing corruptionDefending the vulnerable without compromiseLife Application: Ask God where He is calling you to seek justice today. Pray for courage to act, humility to listen, and wisdom to speak at the right time.

Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional Podcast, recorded in London, England, offers today's message from Reverend Ben Cooper, calling you to embrace the biblical command of Colossians 3:12—to clothe yourself with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.This powerful daily Christian devotional podcast is part of a global mission of prayer, encouragement, and deep biblical teaching—uniting believers across nations with hope and truth from God's Word.Biblical Foundation:Reverend Ben draws from Colossians 3:12 – "Therefore, as God's chosen people, holy and dearly loved, clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, gentleness and patience."He reminds us that compassion is not a passing emotion but a deliberate daily choice, a spiritual garment we put on just as we put on clothes each morning. This teaching is anchored in the example of Christ Himself, who showed compassion to the sick (Matthew 14:14), the hungry (Mark 6:41–42), and the brokenhearted (Luke 7:13).By wearing compassion daily, we not only reflect God's heart but also create space for His peace, healing, and love to transform the world around us.Episode Highlights:Understanding compassion as a daily spiritual discipline.Practical ways to “clothe” yourself with kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience.Following the example of Jesus in reaching out to the needy and the hurting.Breaking free from judgment and choosing grace over criticism.Living as a visible testimony of God's love in everyday life.Life Application:Today, before you leave your home—or even before you speak your first word—pray and intentionally put on compassion as you would a coat. Let it guide your words, soften your responses, and open your heart to those who may not deserve it but desperately need it.

Psalm 42:1 says, “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul longs after you, my God.” This short but powerful prayer devotional addresses the hunger many believers feel for a deeper connection with God amidst the noise of modern life.Reverend Ben Cooper speaks with honesty about one of the greatest challenges to spiritual depth: constant online engagement. We acknowledge how scrolling for hours can leave us informed yet spiritually empty. Instead of offering vague encouragement, this prayer directly addresses the barriers, asking God for help to overcome them and draw near to Him again.The message is about transformation—trading temporary satisfaction for eternal fulfilment, exchanging digital noise for divine presence. We pray for God to heal the emptiness in our hearts and fill that space with His love. For anyone feeling spiritually dry, disconnected, or distracted, this moment of focused prayer offers a spiritual reset.Your soul was created for something that no screen can provide—only the living water of Christ can truly satisfy. Choosing His presence over constant distraction brings refreshment, peace, and renewed joy.Biblical Foundation: Psalm 42:1 – “As the deer pants for streams of water, so my soul pants for you, my God.” This verse captures our soul's natural longing for God, reminding us that spiritual thirst is an invitation to deeper intimacy.Episode Highlights:Recognising the soul's deep longing for God.Confronting digital distractions that cause spiritual dryness.Choosing God's presence over online noise.Asking God to heal spiritual emptiness.Seeking fulfilment in Christ alone.Turning moments of distraction into prayer.Understanding spiritual thirst as a call to draw near.Making space to hear God's voice.Finding peace in quiet moments with God.Drinking deeply from the living water of Christ.Life Application: This week, reflect on Psalm 42:1 daily.

Unshakeable: A Daily Christian Devotional Podcast, recorded in London, England, offers a life-giving message from Reverend Ben Cooper, inviting you into a sacred moment of breaking bread wherever you are. This powerful daily Christian devotional podcast is part of a global journey of encouragement, prayer, and deep biblical insight, designed to strengthen believers worldwide.Biblical Foundation: Reverend Ben draws from Proverbs 16:9 – "In their hearts humans plan their course, but the Lord establishes their steps." This reminds us that sometimes God leads us to communion beyond church walls, in the quiet of our own home. Communion is not confined by tradition or location; it is a heart-to-heart encounter with Jesus Christ.He further connects communion to its roots in the Passover, using Luke 22:19 – "This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." and 1 Corinthians 11:25 – "In the same way, after supper he took the cup, saying, ‘This cup is the new covenant in my blood; do this, whenever you drink it, in remembrance of me.'" These scriptures form the foundation of our practice, inviting all believers to participate meaningfully and without fear.Episode Highlights:Overcoming barriers of tradition and feelings of unworthiness.Practical guidance on preparing simple communion elements at home—bread, wine, or grape juice.Embracing communion as an intimate moment with Christ, accessible to everyone.Encouragement that communion is about Christ's finished work, not our perfection.Life Application: Today, intentionally set aside distractions and prepare your bread and cup with reverence. Use this time to reflect on Christ's sacrifice and renew your faith. Allow God's Spirit to draw you into deeper fellowship and peace.

In this five-minute prayer meditation, Reverend Ben Cooper reflects on the depth of this request, showing it extends far beyond physical food to include financial provision, mental strength, spiritual nourishment, and divine guidance.In a culture obsessed with self-sufficiency and accumulation, we are reminded that every good thing comes from God's hand. This shift—from scarcity thinking to trusting God's abundant care—brings a peace that the world cannot give.The devotion challenges materialism by echoing Jesus' teaching, “Man does not live on bread alone.” It invites us to recalibrate our priorities, finding contentment in God's provision for today rather than worrying about tomorrow.

Send us a textEpisode Description: Surrender might be the most challenging spiritual practice for believers today. In this powerful five-minute devotion, Reverend Ben Cooper guides us through a meditation on Luke 22:42, where Jesus prays, "Not my will, but yours be done, Father."The struggle to surrender doesn't come from a wavering faith, but from living in a world that demands constant control. Like Jesus in Gethsemane, we're called to release our grip on life's steering wheel—at work, at home, within our families, and as the community of believers. This devotion acknowledges our exhaustion and limitations while offering a path to renewed strength through complete trust in God's sovereignty.Biblical Foundation: Luke 22:42 – "Father, if you are willing, take this cup from me; yet not my will, but yours be done." This scripture is the heart of surrender—laying down our own plans to embrace God's will fully. Reverend Ben reflects on the difficulty and depth of this act, reminding us that surrender requires courage, trust, and a heart yielded to God's purposes.Episode Highlights:Surrender is one of the hardest spiritual disciplines for believers today.Luke 22:42 as the model prayer of surrender from Jesus Himself.Releasing our grip on control in all areas of life.Finding renewed strength through trusting God's sovereignty.Honesty about the struggle and cost of letting go.The invitation to rest in God's arms and be transformed.Replacing fear with faith through surrender.How surrender positions us to witness God's glory.Recognising exhaustion as a sign to yield control.A guided, step-by-step prayer for surrender.Life Application: Today, identify one area in your life where you're still holding on tightly. Pray through Luke 22:42 and intentionally release that situation to God. Remember that surrender isn't about weakness—it's about trust.
