while Peter was in prison, the church prayed very earnestly for him.

Quick! Get up!” And the chains fell off his wrists. 

 “It’s really true!” he said. “The Lord has sent his angel and saved me from Herod and from what the Jewish leaders had planned to do to me!”

Meanwhile, the word of God continued to spread, and there were many new believers.

Lord God my father,

I left up my brothers, some who have serious struggles and pray for your healing powers of Truth and Peace to rest well on them. Lord God, send your angles to protect us from temptation and deliver us from our past. Use us to do your will in all things.

In Jesus name I pray,

Amen
