Matthew 28:20 (NIV) — Surely I Am With You Always Live from London, England — where faith meets the world in daily prayer and global hope. Today’s Nations: Zimbabwe • Botswana • Russia • Rwanda • Bahrain • Italy Theme: Presence • Faithfulness • Rest The day is drawing quietly to its close. There may still be moments from today that linger in your thoughts, conversations you are replaying or questions that remain unanswered. Yet before this day comes to an end, Jesus leaves us with one promise that has strengthened believers for generations. He does not promise that every path will be easy, but He does promise that we will never walk it alone. As we prepare to rest tonight, let’s receive the quiet comfort of His abiding presence and place tomorrow safely into His hands. Scripture (NIV) “And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” — Matthew 28:20 Heavenly Father, thank You for the gift of Your Son, Jesus Christ, whose faithful presence never leaves us. As this day comes to its peaceful close, help us to lay every burden, every joy and every unanswered question before You. Thank You that wherever we have walked today, Christ has walked with us. As we rest tonight, quiet every anxious thought and remind us that Your love remains constant through every season of life. May the Holy Spirit strengthen our faith, renew our hope and help us sleep with peaceful hearts, knowing that the Saviour who has been with us today will remain with us tomorrow. Thank You that Your promises never fail and that nothing can separate us from Your faithful presence. Fear will not win, because Jesus Christ is with us always, and His faithful presence never leaves us. May the Lord Jesus watch over you through the night, fill your heart with His perfect peace and awaken you tomorrow with fresh hope, renewed strength and joyful confidence in His unfailing presence. Que el Señor Jesús vele por ti durante la noche, llene tu corazón con Su paz perfecta y te despierte mañana con una esperanza renovada, nuevas fuerzas y una gozosa confianza en Su presencia constante. Que o Senhor Jesus cuide de você durante esta noite, encha o seu coração com a Sua paz perfeita e desperte você amanhã com esperança renovada, novas forças e alegre confiança na Sua presença constante. Nawa’y bantayan ka ng Panginoong Jesus sa buong magdamag, punuin ang iyong puso ng Kanyang ganap na kapayapaan at gisingin ka bukas na may panibagong pag-asa, bagong lakas at masayang pagtitiwala sa Kanyang walang hanggang presensya.

Welcome And Opening Encouragement

SPEAKER_00

Welcome to Daily Prayer. I'm Reverend Ben Cooper coming to you live from our studios in London, England. Let's open the word of God together and let's pray together. Wherever you are, the power of God is over your life. Thank you for standing with us today. Thank you for praying with us today. And also thank you for downloading all the back library and all the prayers, everything that's gone on today. The love of God is over your life. Don't ever give

Matthew 28 And God With Us

SPEAKER_00

up. We're going to go straight to Matthew 28, verse 20. This is the title of the closing prayer together. Surely I am with you always. Father, that's enough for me. Lord, that's all we need at this

Naming Weariness And Daily Noise

SPEAKER_00

hour. Lord, our eyes are tired. We're weary. We got battle fatigue. We got life fatigue. Lord, it's been a stretch at home today. The kids are noisy, the world is noisy. Father, the rain is falling, the sun is out. Holy Spirit, wherever we are across this world, Lord, as this day comes to a close, I pray right now, Lord, that you will deal with our thoughts. The thoughts that are lingering, the conversations that are replaying, the questions that remain unanswered. Father, I thank you before this day comes to an end. Jesus, just open our heart right now. Steady our minds down, steady our voice down. Lord, let us realize that the promises of God are yes and amen. And that you will never leave us nor forsake us wherever we are across this world. Father, help us to abide in your presence. Help us to rest in your glory.

Asking For Presence Rest And Clarity

SPEAKER_00

But Lord, we are praying, dear God, for three simple areas of our lives right now. Lord, we want more of your presence. Holy Spirit, we want more of the presence of Jesus Christ. And Lord, not only do we want more of your presence, Lord, with that presence, we are expecting rest. Lord, the world is fierce. It's very chaotic. And Lord, what are you saying to us? Lord, what are you saying to us right now? Lord, as we try to rest. Lord, we're putting the children to bed. Lord, we're locking the house up. Lord, we're doing a night shift wherever we are around the world. Father, what are you saying to us? Lord, I thank you that your promises, your path is easy. Lord, I ask you right now that we will listen and Lord, you will help us to understand what you are saying. Because Lord, there are many voices, there are many rhythms, there are many lyrics to our lives. Lord, there are many stories. And Holy Spirit, the world is loud, the news is loud, social media is loud, family is loud, relationships are loud, work, the pressure, the responsibilities, the phones have been going all day long, emails and texts, the pressure upon pressure.

Finding Identity In God’s Constant Love

SPEAKER_00

Holy Spirit, we need peace. Lord, we need peace and we need your presence. Lord, we've lost our focus. We've lost our vision. Lord, we've even lost who we are. Holy Spirit, I pray for anyone, dear God, that has lost their identity with the rush of the world. I pray for those that feel scared that they don't even know who they are anymore. But Lord, Lord, I thank you that you tell us, surely, I am with you always, through the rivers, through the valleys, through the seas, through the forest of life, through the fog of life. Lord, we are expecting breakthrough. And Lord, as we stretch out at this hour, Lord, we're tired. Lord, my voice is tired. Lord, we're tired. Our hands are tired. Our backs are tired. We're working. We've been grafting all day. We're exhausting ourselves. Lord, help us to live smoothly and more easily. Help us to live by faith. Help us, dear God, to speak the law of God over our lives. Lord, we don't want to live, dear God, in the jigsaw puzzle of life. We don't want to live, dear God, in the way and the rhythm of society and culture. We want to live in the freedom and the power of faith. We want to live in the Holy Spirit. So right now, Lord, as this day comes to a close, Lord, as the sun has already set, as darkness is coming down on us right now, as the stars are in the heavens above, as the moon is shining through the window, Spirit of the living God, these moments, Lord, we want to grow in the darkness. Lord, we want to grow. We want to go deeper in these dark hours. So Lord, as it's dark outside the window, Lord, we want to grow in the darkness of the night. And Lord, as we sleep tonight, we are expecting to wake up fully charged, fully loaded, and ready to go in the name of Jesus. And Lord, just remind us that we are never, ever alone, that you remain the constant. And wherever we are, as we stretch out, live from this studio, dear God, to the four corners of this world, we are expecting miracles. Every nation, every tribe, every language, every color, whoever we are, wherever we are, Jesus, reveal yourself. Holy Spirit, reveal yourself. Lord, you tell us through the great gospel of Matthew 28, and surely know this always. I am with you to the very end of this age. Father, that's enough. That you're with us to the very end of this age, that we are not orphans, that we are grafted in to the Father's heart. And wherever we are, your promises never fail. Your glory, dear God, is never separated from us. Your love is that constant. And Lord, as we sleep right now, bring peace, bring hope, and let us rest tonight.

Blessing For Sleep And Dawn Invitation

SPEAKER_00

Wherever you are across the world, don't ever give up. Fear is never gonna win. God is with you, the devil is under your feet. You are blessed and highly favored, wonderfully and fearfully made. God is with you. God loves you, his presence is in your life. I pray tonight that you will sleep, and your sleep will be sweet, and you will find in the morning as you wake tomorrow morning that the love of God has just healed you and set you free, that you wake up feeling refreshed and restored. Have a beautiful sleep tonight. But will you join me, as I always say, will you join me for the first prayer of dawn before the sun rises over our life, before the rain falls, before the phone starts to ring again in another rhythm of another day? Let's get up and pray together and stand together. Don't ever give up. I'll catch you in a few hours. Sleep well in Jesus' name. Good night and God bless.
