Send us your feedback — we're listeningMatthew 11:28–30 — Come to Me, All Who Are Weary Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Brisbane • Auckland • Singapore • Charlotte • Bogotá REST • STRENGTH • PEACE Good morning, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. As this Saturday morning unfolds, perhaps your mind is already full of responsibilities, conversations, plans or concerns. Whatever this day is asking of you, Jesus begins not with another demand but with a loving invitation. Life has a way of placing weight upon our shoulders. Sometimes it arrives through work, family responsibilities, unexpected circumstances or the quiet pressures that few people ever see. We often try to carry everything ourselves, believing we must stay strong for everyone around us. Yet Jesus never asks us to struggle alone. Instead, He gently calls us to come close to Him, bringing every burden into His safe and faithful hands.  Matthew 11:28–30 (NIV) “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” What a gracious invitation from our Saviour. Jesus does not promise a life without challenges, but He does promise that we never have to face them without Him. As we place today's worries, responsibilities and unanswered questions before Him, our hearts begin to settle because His strength becomes greater than our own. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Christ walks beside us, carrying what we were never meant to carry alone. Father, thank You for Your constant care and for inviting us into Your presence. Thank You that we never have to hide our weariness from You. Lord Jesus, help every listener who feels tired, overwhelmed or anxious today. Replace heaviness with Your peace, strengthen those whose hearts feel weary and remind each one that Your grace is more than enough for every moment they will face. Holy Spirit, teach us to trust more deeply, to surrender more freely and to walk through this day with quiet confidence, knowing that You are always with us. Across the world, from Brisbane to Auckland, from Singapore to Charlotte and Bogotá, may every listener discover the gentle rest that only Jesus Christ can give. Jesús, hoy deposito cada carga en Tus manos de amor. Jesus, hoje entrego cada peso às Tuas mãos de amor. Jesus, inilalagay ko sa Iyong mga kamay ang bawat pasanin ko ngayon. Amen.

1 Chronicles 4-5; 19 Psalms 22-23; 40 Matthew 11

Join us as we wrap up Matthew chapter 11.

"All things have been delivered to Me by My Father, and no one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son, and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." Matthew 11:27 (NKJV) This is a legal declaration of the Father to the Son. Jesus is not acting on His own; He is operating under the full, delegated authority of the Godhead. You cannot operate in Kingdom Authority (Luke 10:19) if you do not understand Who gave you the authority. Jesus won the right to give us power because He walked in total submission to the Father. When you operate in His name, you are backed by the full weight of the Father's sovereign power. Every chain you break, you break with the Father's permission and the Son's power. "No one knows the Son except the Father. Nor does anyone know the Father except the Son..." This speaks to the absolute, exclusive intimacy between the Father and the Son. Ministry is not a job; it is a relationship with the Father. You cannot "know" God through theology books or academic study alone. You only know the Father through the Son. If you want to move in the miraculous, you must move from knowing about God to knowing Him in the secret place of intimacy. The measure of your authority in the world is directly tied to the measure of your intimacy with Him in the closet. "...and the one to whom the Son wills to reveal Him." This implies that the Father is not "hidden" from the world, but He is revealed by the Son to those who are hungry for Him. God is looking for those who are willing to be "revealed to." The reason so many remain in stagnation is that they are too full of their own self-knowledge to receive the Father's revelation. To walk in this level of authority, you must maintain a "student's heart"—always ready to be taught, always ready to be corrected, and always ready for a fresh download of the Father's heart. #ApostleCathyCoppola #Matthew1127 #DivineRevelation #IntimacyWithGod #KingdomAuthority #HouseOfGlory #MightyWindTV #ApostolicLeadership #SovereigntyOfGod #KnowTheFather #PropheticTeaching

The Anointing That Destroys the Enemy's Yoke Matthew 11:28-30 When Jesus tells us to take His yoke, it implies we must first get rid of the enemy's heavy yoke. These verses show how God shatters the heavy weights of oppression, legalism, and fear. Isaiah 40:29-31 (NKJV): "He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength... But those who wait on the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint." "Waiting on the Lord" is the Old Testament equivalent of being yoked to Christ. It's an exchange—you lay down your limited, human capability and pick up His infinite, tireless power.

Matthew 11:25-30At that time Jesus exclaimed: "I give praise to you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth,for although you have hidden these thingsfrom the wise and the learnedyou have revealed them to little ones.Yes, Father, such has been your gracious will.All things have been handed over to me by my Father. No one knows the Son except the Father,and no one knows the Father except the Sonand anyone to whom the Son wishes to reveal him.""Come to me, all you who labor and are burdened,and I will give you rest.Take my yoke upon you and learn from me,for I am meek and humble of heart;and you will find rest for yourselves. For my yoke is easy, and my burden light."

But if you've been living at the bottom of the pile, living with the pain of being last in line, of always feeling like your life is lived at the mercy of a system designed to keep itself in power and to keep you helpless; if you've been told that the life you live, the love you bear for another human being isn't real life, isn't real love... then I've got good news for you. Jesus offers true emancipation, not the endless multiplication of choices, but the liberation of being entrusted with a purpose, of being yoked with a people whose vocation consists of helping to bear one another's burdens.

2 And when John had heard in prison about the works of Christ, he sent two of his disciples 3 and said to Him, “Are You the Coming One, or do we look for another?”4 Jesus answered and said to them, “Go and tell John the things which you hear and see: 5 The blind see and the lame walk; the lepers are cleansed and the deaf hear; the dead are raised up and the poor have the gospel preached to them. 6 And blessed is he who is not offended because of Me.”7 As they departed, Jesus began to say to the multitudes concerning John: “What did you go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? 8 But what did you go out to see? A man clothed in soft garments? Indeed, those who wear soft clothing are in kings' houses. 9 But what did you go out to see? A prophet? Yes, I say to you, and more than a prophet. 10 For this is he of whom it is written:‘Behold, I send My messenger before Your face,Who will prepare Your way before You.'11 “Assuredly, I say to you, among those born of women there has not risen one greater than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. 12 And from the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. 13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied until John. 14 And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah who is to come. 15 He who has ears to hear, let him hear!16 “But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions, 17 and saying:‘We played the flute for you,And you did not dance;We mourned to you,And you did not lament.'18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.' 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' But wisdom is justified by her children.”

In this episode, we ask Lars Olson, “If Jesus gives rest to the weary, why does he invite us to take his yoke instead of removing our burdens altogether?” We learn what makes Jesus' yoke easy and his burden light. All things have been handed over to Jesus by the Father. And what does he do with all that power? He reveals the Father to you. There's nothing left for you to accomplish—only Christ's Word to hear. Like oxen, we keep looking for another burden to pull, only to discover that the hardest burden of all is believing the work has already been done for us in Christ.GOSPEL Matthew 11:16-19,25-30 16 “But to what will I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to one another, 17  ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn.' 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon'; 19 the Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”25 At that time Jesus said, “I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because you have hidden these things from the wise and the intelligent and have revealed them to infants; 26 yes, Father, for such was your gracious will. 27 All things have been handed over to me by my Father; and no one knows the Son except the Father, and no one knows the Father except the Son and anyone to whom the Son chooses to reveal him. 28 “Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.”CARE OF SOULS: DEATHIn Care of Souls, a special mini-series podcast from Luther House of Study, Lutheran pastors and theologians come together to explore the deeply personal and pastoral task of preaching to and caring for those facing death, grief, and loss.Rooted in the theology of the cross and the Lutheran tradition of radical grace, this series offers both theological depth and practical guidance for pastors, church workers, and lay leaders.Across five episodes, the hosts tackle tough but essential questions on death:How does Lutheran theology speak uniquely to death and grief?What does faithful pastoral care look like when walking alongside those who mourn?How can pastors offer both honesty and hope in the face of tragedy and loss?What does ministry look like when death impacts the pastor as well as the congregation?Why do funerals matter, and what is God giving through them?With conversations, real-life stories, and reflections from the front lines of ministry, Care of Souls equips listeners to enter the sorrow of death not with easy answers, but with the crucified and risen Christ.Because in the end, it's not about avoiding death—it's about hearing the Gospel from the One who has passed through death and opened the way to life.Listen to Care of Souls wherever you listen to podcasts or on the Luther House website: Care of SoulsSupport the showInterested in sponsoring an episode of Scripture First?Email Sarah at sarah@lhos.org or visit our donation page: lutherhouseofstudy.org/donate
