From London, England, Reverend Ben Cooper brings a powerful devotional that links two life-changing passages of Scripture: John 14:1–6 and Psalm 46.

Jesus speaks directly to our troubled hearts in John 14: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me… I am the way, the truth, and the life.” These words are not just comforting, they are life-giving — a promise of peace, eternal security, and direction when everything around us feels uncertain.

Then Psalm 46 takes us even deeper: “God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble… Be still, and know that I am God.” This psalm reminds us that in the very centre of life’s storms, when the earth shakes and nations are in uproar, God remains unshaken. He is not distant, He is present — a safe place, a strong tower, and an anchor for our souls.

📖 The Link Between the Two:

• John 14 gives us the voice of Jesus Himself promising peace, truth, and a way forward.
• Psalm 46 shows us the reality of God’s presence as our refuge and strength.
  Together they bring a complete picture: Jesus quiets the heart’s fear (“Do not be troubled”), and the psalm calms the mind’s need for security (“God is our refuge”).

This devotional calls us to live out that truth daily — to stop striving, to rest in God’s presence, and to follow Jesus as the only way, truth, and life.

✨ Radio Handover (Intro for Broadcast):
“John 14 reminds us not to let our hearts be troubled, because Jesus Himself is the way, the truth, and the life. And Psalm 46 takes us deeper, declaring that God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble. Tonight, right here from London, Reverend Ben Cooper will open Psalm 46 and show us what it truly means to live in that promise.”

Episode Highlights:

• Jesus’ promise of peace and eternal security (John 14:1–6).
• God as our unshakable refuge and strength (Psalm 46).
• How the two passages link together beautifully.
• Practical encouragement for troubled hearts and anxious minds.
• A call to trust, rest, and be still in God’s presence.

Life Application:

When fear rises, remember John 14: Jesus is the way forward. When anxiety or chaos surrounds you, hold onto Psalm 46: God is your refuge and strength. Together, these Scriptures form a foundation you can stand on, no matter the storm.
