Peter was
therefore kept in prison but constant prayer was offered to God for him
by the Church.
Acts 12:5
Throughout history there has always been opposition to God and His work.
Yet, each account reveals that the will of God could not be stopped. We
may feel helpless concerning the injustice, and devastating events that
take place in our world; yet we are anything but helpless. The power of
prayer is huge. We have the privilege and ability to interact personally
with the creator of all things, concerning all things whether our own
personal problems, the needs of a friend and neighbor, or those that
stretch across the globe. There is no limit to the power of prayer;
Earnest prayer that seeks God’s perfect will in all things; continual
prayer that doesn’t give up; prayer that believes the answer will come
knocking on the door. There is no need for us to be intimidated by
opposition to the work of God. He is always victorious. He has given us
an avenue and opportunity to be active participants in it all.
Prayer
It is a privilege and honor to come before You today; You are the
creator and administrator of all things. I thank you for the ability to
come to You personally. I earnestly seek Your will. Increase my faith,
open my heart that I may see through Your loving eyes, and may
understand the depth and power in prayer, whether for a friend, a
nation, a young child hurting on the other side of the world, or myself.
I know that You hear each word, and I believe the answer will come
knocking on the door as Your perfect will is accomplished. Amen.
