The power of prayer. Even if God allows a problem in your life He always encourages us to continue to pray. The church of God didn’t stop praying when Peter was thrown into jail in Acts 12. “Peter therefore was kept in prison, but constantly prayer was offered to him by the church.” Acts 12:5 Relief is not always delivered immediately, but we can stay strong with prayer and faith.
Acts 12 continues the story in verse 7 saying, ‘’Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared and a light shown in the cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up. ‘’Quick, get up!’’ He said, and the chains fell off Peter’s wrists. Then the angel said to him, ‘’Put on clothes and sandals. Wrap your cloak around you and follow me’’ the angel told him. Peter followed him out of the prison.” Here is an example of how continual prayers were answered. The power of prayer changes lives, changes stories, and saves lives.
