Send us your feedback — we're listeningJohn 14:27 — My Peace I Give You Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Hobart • Hamilton • Singapore • Nashville • Buenos Aires PEACE • ASSURANCE • REST Good evening, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for ending this day with me. Before this day quietly slips into the night, let's pause together, open God's Word and receive the lasting peace that Jesus lovingly offers to every trusting heart. There are evenings when the world still feels noisy, even after everything around us has grown quiet. Thoughts continue to turn, questions remain unanswered and tomorrow can seem to arrive before today has fully ended. Yet in the middle of all these things, Jesus speaks words that still calm anxious hearts. He offers us His peace—not a temporary feeling, but a lasting gift rooted in His unchanging presence. John 14:27 (NIV) “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” What a beautiful promise for this evening. The peace of Christ is not dependent upon perfect circumstances. It flows from knowing that the Saviour who holds tomorrow also holds us securely tonight. As we entrust every unfinished thought, every unanswered question and every hope for tomorrow into His hands, our hearts become settled in His faithful care. So tonight, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ gives a peace that the world cannot take away. Father, thank You for the gift of Your Son and for the peace that He freely gives. Thank You that Your love remains constant through every changing circumstance. Lord Jesus, bless every listener tonight. Bring healing to those who are unwell, comfort to those who feel alone, reassurance to those carrying tomorrow's concerns and deep, refreshing rest to every weary heart. Help us finish this day resting confidently in Your peace. Holy Spirit, quiet every anxious thought, surround us with Your gentle presence and prepare us to greet tomorrow with renewed faith and joyful expectation. Across the world, from Hobart to Hamilton, from Singapore to Nashville and Buenos Aires, may every listener rest tonight beneath the peace of Christ, knowing that His faithful love will never leave them. Jesús, que Tu paz guarde mi corazón esta noche. Jesus, que a Tua paz guarde o meu coração esta noite. Jesus, nawa'y bantayan ng Iyong kapayapaan ang aking puso ngayong gabi. Amen.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningColossians 3:15 — Let the Peace of Christ Rule Your Heart Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Brisbane • Auckland • Singapore • Atlanta • Bogotá PEACE • STABILITY • TRUST Good morning, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Thank you for taking these moments to pause. As the day gathers momentum, let's turn our attention away from the noise around us and towards the peace that only Jesus Christ can give. There are times when life becomes loud. Deadlines compete for our attention, unexpected situations interrupt our plans and emotions can begin to pull us in different directions. In those moments, Christ does not promise a life without pressure, but He does offer something far deeper. He offers a peace that steadies the heart, settles the mind and quietly reminds us that He remains Lord over every circumstance. Colossians 3:15 (NIV) “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful.” What a wonderful invitation for today. The peace of Christ is not fragile or temporary. It becomes the quiet authority within us, helping us choose patience over frustration, compassion over anger and faith over fear. As His peace shapes our hearts, our responses begin to reflect His character, even when life feels demanding. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ reigns with a peace that is stronger than every pressure we may face. Father, thank You for the gift of Your peace that reaches places where words cannot. Thank You that Your calm presence is not shaken by the changing circumstances of this world. Lord Jesus, bless every listener today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, calm to anxious hearts, wisdom to those facing demanding situations and renewed strength to everyone feeling emotionally stretched. Help us to carry Your peace into every conversation and every decision we make today. Holy Spirit, establish the peace of Christ deep within our hearts and help us become people who bring reassurance, kindness and hope wherever we go. Across the world, from Brisbane to Auckland, from Singapore to Atlanta and Bogotá, may every listener discover the steady peace of Christ that remains unshaken in every season.

Send us your feedback — we're listeningColossians 3:15 — Let Peace Lead Your Heart Today Live from our studios in London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Brisbane • Auckland • Singapore • Charlotte • Bogotá PEACE • WISDOM • DISCERNMENT Good morning, and welcome to DailyPrayer.uk. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper. Come in for five minutes, let's open God's Word together, and let's pray. Every day brings countless voices asking for our attention. News headlines compete for our thoughts, expectations pull us in different directions and hurried moments can tempt us to react before we have truly listened. Yet the Lord offers something beautifully different. He invites us to allow the peace of Christ to become the quiet guide within our hearts, gently shaping our words, our choices and the way we respond to every situation. Colossians 3:15 (NIV) “Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts… And be thankful.” What a timely invitation for today. When the peace of Christ rules our hearts, fear no longer becomes our counsellor, and anxiety no longer has the final word. Instead, God's wisdom begins to shape our decisions, His grace softens our responses and His love becomes visible in the way we treat those around us. So today, let's gently remind ourselves that fear will not win, because Jesus Christ fills our hearts with His peace and faithfully leads us with wisdom that never fails. Father, thank You for the gift of Your peace that reaches deeper than changing circumstances. Thank You that Your wisdom is always available, Your grace is always sufficient and Your love continues to steady every willing heart. Lord Jesus, bless every listener today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, discernment to those facing important decisions, patience to those living under pressure and renewed hope to everyone who feels emotionally stretched. Help us choose words that bring life, actions that reflect Your compassion and attitudes that honour Your name. Holy Spirit, quiet every competing voice, deepen our sensitivity to Your leading and teach us to recognise the gentle direction of Christ throughout this day. Across the world, from Brisbane to Auckland, from Singapore to Charlotte and Bogotá, may every listener discover the quiet strength that comes from allowing the peace of Christ to guide every step.

Come in for five minutes, let's open God's Word together, and let's pray. As this day begins to draw towards its close, there may still be conversations echoing in your thoughts, responsibilities waiting for tomorrow or burdens that feel too heavy to carry alone. Before this evening slips away, take a quiet moment to pause in God's presence. His peace is not hurried, and neither do we need to hurry as we come before Him. John 14:27 (NIV) “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.

Brisbane • Christchurch • Singapore • Charlotte • Buenos Aires PEACE • PRAYER • TRUST There are moments in every day when our minds begin to race ahead of us. A conversation may not have gone as we hoped, a message may still be waiting for an answer, or a decision may be asking more of us than we feel able to give. Before those thoughts take root, let's pause together and place them into the hands of the One who knows the end from the beginning. Philippians 4:6–7 (NIV) “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God… will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” The Lord does not ask us to carry our worries until they become too heavy. He lovingly invites us to bring them to Him while they are still forming. As we pray, His peace begins to steady our hearts—not because every circumstance changes immediately, but because His presence remains constant. Father, thank You that You welcome every prayer we bring. Thank You that nothing is too small for Your attention and nothing is too great for Your power. Lord Jesus, breathe Your peace into every anxious heart today. Bring healing to those who are unwell, wisdom to those making difficult choices, comfort to those carrying hidden burdens and renewed strength to everyone who feels overwhelmed.

When he appears to his apostles on Easter Sunday, Jesus's first and consistent message to them is one of peace.  The very presence of Jesus brings us peace as it did the fearful Apostles.  Union with the person of Christ is also another source of peace.  This is promised to us by Jesus himself, "Peace I leave you, my peace I give to you."  Trust in God, especially in God's mercy, is a key to receiving this peace from Christ.

This sermon addresses the universal human struggle with peace, demonstrating that genuine peace cannot be found in worldly circumstances, relationships, or material possessions, but only through Jesus Christ. Pastor Brent Sivnksty establishes that while the world celebrates peace during Christmas, true peace requires more than the absence of conflict—it demands a personal relationship with Christ. Through the lens of Colossians 3:15, the message emphasizes three foundational truths: peace is only found in the person and work of Jesus Christ, those who have peace with God can know peace from God, and believers must actively allow Christ's peace to rule in their hearts. The sermon challenges Christians to submit to Christ's authority, allowing His peace to act as a referee or umpire in their lives, making decisions based on God's Word rather than emotions or circumstances. Pastor Brent emphasizes that biblical thoughts must lead to biblical actions, which then produce biblical feelings—not the reverse. Key Points: True peace is only found in the person and work of Jesus Christ, who is identified as the Prince of Peace Peace with God comes through justification by faith in Christ's death and resurrection, not through works or religion Believers who have peace with God have access to peace from God through their relationship with Christ Many Christians fail to experience God's peace because they don't "let" or allow it to rule in their hearts The peace of Christ must "rule" (act as referee/umpire) in our hearts, making decisions based on God's Word Biblical peace requires submission to Christ's sovereign authority and trust in His promises Biblical thinking must precede biblical action, which then produces biblical feelings—not the other way around Common obstacles to peace include fear of the known and unknown, financial problems, health issues, fear of failure, fixation on others, loneliness, temptation, spiritual defeat, irritations of life, and resistance to change A thankful heart is necessary to maintain a peaceful heart, while ingratitude produces discontentment and strife Personal peace with God affects our relationships with others in the body of Christ Scripture References: Colossians 3:1, 15 (primary text) Isaiah 9:6 Acts 10:36 Ephesians 2:13-17 Ephesians 6:15 Colossians 1:20 Romans 5:1-5 John 16:33 John 14:27 Philippians 4:6-7 2 Peter 1:2 Isaiah 26:3 Romans 12 (end of chapter) Romans 15:33

Have we forgotten the peace of Christ that we share? Listen and spend time focusing on the Lord's goodness. There is true peace with Christ!----Peace is a major theme around the Christmas holiday. For the Christian, we know that Jesus is not only the reason for this season but He is our peace. What does it even mean to say, "Jesus is Our Peace". How then should we live based on this reality? How does it play into this sin-ridden world of egos, wokeness, justice seeking, idolatry, pain and immorality? Do we see peace through the proper lens?I pray that you are edified in this special Christmas episode as I walk through how peace is seen from Heaven's eyes. How it is truly available to us...and just how superior, hopeful, and violent it really is.Key Passages:Luke 2:8-14  (Luke 1:76-79)Job 38:2-7What is the Gospel - Voddie BauchamMusic|| Hypersonic Music - Last Resistance (Dan Thiessen) - Universal Production Music (i do not own the rights)Support the showHosts: Brandon and Daren Smith Learn of Brandon's Church Planting CallPatreon: www.patreon.com/blackandblurredPaypal: https://paypal.me/blackandblurredYouTube: Black and Blurred PodcastIG: @BlackandBlurredPodcastX: @Blurred_Podcast

In the midst of our chaotic, overscheduled lives—especially during the Christmas season—we're invited to explore a profound paradox: how can we experience genuine peace when everything around us feels anything but peaceful? This message takes us deep into Psalm 85, a lament psalm that reveals the secret to finding peace not in our circumstances, but in our pursuit of righteousness. The psalmist looks back at God's faithfulness in Israel's history and pleads for restoration, anchoring hope in a powerful promise: God will speak peace to His people. But here's the transformative insight—peace isn't about having a calm environment or a cleared calendar. It's about walking in righteousness, doing the right thing even when it's hard, and keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus, who is Himself the embodiment of peace. Isaiah captures it perfectly: the result of righteousness is peace, described as a 'quiet confidence forever.' When we see Joseph's response to Mary's pregnancy—choosing righteousness over cultural expectations—we witness this principle in action. The beauty is that we don't have to be perfect; like Abraham, when we believe God and faithfully pursue His way, He counts it as righteousness. This means that even in life's storms, even when we face hardship or uncertainty, we can experience that peace that surpasses understanding. It's possible right now, in whatever situation we're facing, to feel the deep peace of Christ washing over us as we walk in His way.

Peace is in short supply in our world, but Advent reminds us that Jesus is the Prince of Peace. In Philippians 4:4-7, Paul shows us that God's peace is not based on circumstances but flows from rejoicing in the Lord, trusting His nearness, and bringing every anxiety to Him in prayer with thanksgiving. In this message, Pastor Kory explains how God's peace transcends understanding, guards our hearts and minds, and stands watch over us like a soldier. When we fix our hearts and minds on Christ, the Holy Spirit empowers us to live with gentleness, freedom from anxiety, and confidence in God's control. Are you holding onto anxiety, or releasing it to the Prince of Peace?

Engage with scripture readings, heartfelt devotionals, and collective prayers that draw you into the heart of God's love. Embark on this year-long voyage through the Bible, and let each day's passage uplift and inspire you. TODAY'S EPISODE: Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible! In today's episode for June 23rd, 2025, your host Hunter invites you to journey through day 174 of our Bible reading plan. Together, we'll explore dramatic chapters from 2 Kings and 2 Chronicles, witnessing the intense zeal of Jehu and the tumultuous shifts in Israel and Judah's leadership. We'll also learn about God's heart for caring for one another from Paul's wisdom in 1 Timothy 5. Alongside scripture readings, Hunter reflects on the difference between human zeal and God's radical, peace-bringing love—reminding us that only Christ's sacrifice truly brings the life and freedom we need. We'll take time to pray, settle our hearts, and reconnect with the God who walks with us each day. Plus, you'll hear a special prayer from contributor Florence Atiega, and get updates from our growing Daily Radio Bible community. Whether you're a longtime listener or just tuning in, join us for encouragement, community, and thoughtful readings that point us back to the One who loves us without fail. Let's journey together! TODAY'S DEVOTION: Jehu's Zeal and the Zeal of the Lord Jehu's devotion was extreme and violent. He personified a radical devotion and zeal for the Lord. The results were the elimination of Baal worship in Judah—and many dead people. Like Jehu, our own devotion and zeal, as great as it might be, may yield results, but it's not the ultimate answer that we're looking for. Sometimes those results have nothing to do with God. Our real need is for peace, not violence. Our real need is for right standing with God and joy in this life. Our zeal might get results, but it's not the results we really need. The zeal of the most zealous man is not enough. Holy Jihad is not the answer. There is only one man whose zeal can achieve what must be done in my life and in this world—and it's not Jehu, or you, or me who achieves it. The results are not the shedding of another's blood, but rather it was God's radical commitment to lay down his life in co-suffering love for the whole world, for those near and far, that accomplishes what is needed. Jehu is a flawed picture of this. In Isaiah 9, we see a far better picture of the person who would accomplish freedom for us: “For a child is born to us, a son is given to us. The government will rest on his shoulders. And he will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace. His government and its peace will never end. He will rule with fairness and justice from the throne of his ancestor David for all eternity. The zeal of the Lord of Heaven's Armies will make this happen.” His zeal—not Jehu's—has won for you and for me all that we need to start anew, to have strength, to have joy, to have a new beginning. Rest in the results of his zeal and no one else's. No one else will do. Christ has done for us what no man could do. He has achieved for us life. That's a prayer I have for my own soul. That's a prayer I have for my family, for my wife, and for my loved ones. And that's a prayer that I have for you. May it be so. TODAY'S PRAYERS: Lord of life, you have awakened me again to the gift of this day. You go before me, walk beside me and dwell within me. Let me walk slowly in your presence. May I resist the hurried spirit of this world and instead breathe deep of your peace. Open my eyes to beauty, my ears to your voice, and my heart to the quiet work of grace. Help me not to strive, but to abide, not to achieve, but to receive. Today, Let my words carry your kindness, my actions reflect your mercy, my thoughts be anchored in your truth, that I am yours and you are with me. Hunter: Amen. Hunter (leading the Lord's Prayer): And now, as our Lord has taught us, we are bold to pray. Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Read OnlineJesus said to his disciples: “Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give it to you.” John 14:27So how does the peace that Jesus gives you differ from the apparent peace that the world gives? We all want peace in life. The desire for interior peace is written upon our very nature. And though many people make choices that lead to interior disorder and even chaos, those choices are often made out of a confused sense of what actually provides fulfillment.For example, those who choose to feed an addiction to drugs or alcohol often began that addiction out of a misguided desire for happiness. The temporary fix experienced gives the temporary sense of well-being. But objectively speaking, it is very clear that the temporary “peace” one receives from these actions leads ultimately to a loss of the very thing they desire. And when these choices become addictions, the person often finds themself trapped in a downward spiral.There are also countless other ways in which people find themselves seeking satisfaction and fulfillment in life. Money, promiscuity, cheating, selfishness, anger, deception, and the like are all actions that are done with the intent of some satisfaction. Our daily goal must be to unmask those deceptive actions so that we can see them for what they are and for the fruit that they produce. These are clearly among the many ways that the “world” offers us peace.When it comes to true happiness in life, the gift of true interior peace is one of the clearest signs that we are on the right track and are making the right decisions. When we choose the will of God each and every day, those choices may be difficult and require much initial sacrifice. Love can be hard. Faithfulness to the moral law of God can be challenging. And refusing to sin is difficult. But choosing the will of God throughout our day, every day, will begin to produce within us the consoling and sustaining gift of the peace of Christ.True peace produces strength. It leads to interior integrity and wholeness. It produces clarity of thought and certitude in convictions. God's peace leads to more peace. It leads to choices based on well-thought-out actions of love. Peace leads us to the will of God, and the will of God leads to peace. The cyclical effect is exponential and is one of the clearest guides to happiness in life. Reflect, today, upon whether you truly have peace in your heart. Do you recognize the still, strong and sustaining presence of God within your soul? Do your daily choices produce greater integrity of heart and clarity of mind? Do you find that you have joy and calm, even in the midst of life's greatest challenges? Seek out this peace, for if you do, you will be seeking out the good God Who produces this glorious gift within your heart. My Lord of true peace, You and Your holy will are the only path to the deepest fulfillment of all of my desires in life. When I make poor choices that lead to disorder and confusion, help me to turn to You with all my heart. Please unmask any deception I struggle with and give me the strength I need to seek You and Your peace alone.
