Romans 8:28 — God Is Still Working Behind The Scenes Recorded live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Houston • Lagos • São Paulo • Wellington • Singapore TRUST • HOPE • CONFIDENCE Christian prayer for uncertain situations • trusting God’s plan when life feels unclear • prayer for confidence in difficult seasons • finding hope through God’s faithfulness Romans 8:28 (NIV) “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” There are seasons when God appears quiet. We continue praying, trusting, and waiting, yet answers seem slow to arrive. We look at a situation and wonder whether anything is changing. We ask questions that do not yet seem to have answers. In those moments, it can be difficult to see beyond what is immediately in front of us. Many people are carrying that feeling today. The challenge is that we often see only a small part of the picture. We see today’s difficulty, but God sees tomorrow’s breakthrough. We see the delay, but God sees the preparation taking place beneath the surface. We see the unanswered question, but God sees the complete story from beginning to end. Romans 8:28 reminds us that God remains active even when His work is not immediately visible. The Lord does not stop working simply because we cannot see the evidence. His wisdom is greater than our understanding, and His timing is greater than our expectations. While we wait, He continues to guide, shape, prepare, and strengthen us. Father, thank You that You are always at work, even in situations I do not fully understand. Thank You that Your plans are trustworthy and that Your faithfulness never fails. Jesus, help me trust You when answers seem delayed. Strengthen my faith when circumstances feel uncertain. Teach me to rely on Your character rather than my own understanding and help me rest in the knowledge that You are working for good. Holy Spirit, fill my heart with confidence today. Replace fear with trust, frustration with patience, and uncertainty with hope. Help me remember that God’s hand is still at work, even when I cannot yet see the outcome. Across the world, from Houston to Lagos, from São Paulo to Wellington and Singapore, may uncertain hearts find reassurance, discouraged minds discover fresh confidence, and every listener experience the peace that comes from trusting God’s unseen work. Jesús, confío en Tu obra incluso cuando no puedo verla. Jesus, confio na Tua obra mesmo quando não a vejo. Jesus, nagtitiwala ako sa Iyong ginagawa kahit hindi ko ito nakikita. Father, thank You that You are always working for good. Amen.

Welcome To Morning Prayer

SPEAKER_00

Welcome to daily prayer with myself, Reverend Ben Cooper. Wherever you are in the world, thank you for making daily prayer part of your life and part of the rhythm of your day. It is the morning devotional prayer time. God bless you wherever you are from the four corners of the world. Let's lock together just for these four minutes. The morning has already broken out. Come on, let's get straight into prayer.

Romans 8 28 And The Theme

SPEAKER_00

We're in Romans chapter 8, verse 28. This is the title of the prayer. God is still working behind the scenes. Holy Spirit, oh God, in the name of Jesus, we come to you from the four corners of this world. Lord, we thank you that we're already on the school run. We're already on the breakfast run. Lord, we've already cutting the grass, doing the washing, doing the ironing. Lord, we're already at work. Lord, we are in the rhythm of a brand

Trust Confidence And Holy Spirit Love

new day. And Lord, through this morning devotional prayer time, Lord, I pray that we will lead into three areas of our lives, that you will lead us into fresh beginnings. So Lord, we are praying for trust. We are praying, dear God, for confidence. And we are praying, dear God, for the love of the Holy Spirit. Lord, we are looking for three areas of our lives to be strengthened right now through this morning devotional prayer time. We stretch out and we stretch up and we call on the name of Jesus Christ because God is working behind the scenes of the curtain of our life. Father, we thank you that you are working behind that invisible curtain. What we can't see, Lord, you are working in. You are the God of David who fights those battles behind that curtain, behind them unseen realms, in them spiritual, heavenly places. Father, we thank you that the battle belongs to the Lord. And Lord, when we find ourselves in a rhythm of uncertainty, Father, we believe that shackles are gone because God is bringing freedom. Lord, I thank you that this is a new day, that this is a new beginning. Holy Spirit, I pray that we will trust, that we will walk in confidence and we will walk in the love of the Father, the Son, the Holy Spirit. Help us to trust in God's plan when my life feels very unclear. Help me to trust you, Lord, when I look across the fabric

Waiting For Timing And Breakthrough

SPEAKER_00

of the world and everything seems so uncertain. Every situation feels fragile. Lord, when I feel scared and worried, Lord, we're not going to walk and feel scared anymore. Lord, we're going to walk in freedom. Father, we thank you that there is power in the name of Jesus Christ. And Lord, we believe fear will not win. That the Spirit of the living God is over our lives. Lord, as we connect around the world, Father, we thank you from the bus stop to the boardroom, from the boardroom to the aircraft, from the aircraft to the laptop, from the laptop, dear God, to cutting the grass, the school run, Lord, the barbershop, the pedicure, whatever we are doing right now, we pray that the Spirit of the Lord will carry us from the four corners of this world. Holy Spirit, we pray that the four winds of heaven will blow down the corridor of our lives. Even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil because your rod and your staff they comfort us. Lord, we pray and we walk through Romans 8, verse 28, and we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him who have been called according to his purpose. Lord, will you remind us we've been called according to your purpose, not to nobody else, but to the plan of God, the heartbeat of God. Jehovah Jaru is with you, Jehovah Nissi. Oh my God, we worship you and we praise you. Lord, whatever season we are in right now, Lord, help us to continue to pray, to trust, and to wait. Lord, help us to wait on the Lord. Father, we thank you, Lord, that your timings are perfect, your ways are just. And right now, we believe that there is spiritual breakthrough, practical breakthrough. Holy Spirit, we pray that you will lead us in paths of righteousness for your namesake. And as we stretch out from the four corners of this earth, Father, meet us where we are, and Lord, let us realize that fear will not win. As we stretch out live from London, England, all the way to Houston, all the way to Lagos, dear God, I pray right now for St. Paolo, Wellington, Singapore, Nigeria. Lord, let your love just flow all the way around us. And whatever situation we are in right now, will you remind us? And we know that in all things, God works for the good of those who love him, who have been accalled according to his purpose. Wherever you are, on the battlefield, in the battlefield of your life, the battlefield of your mind, whatever scenario you are going through right now, I'm telling you now, God is with you, God
