This sermon proclaims the compassion and power of God in response to the Churches fervent prayer.
Peter faced an impossible situation where rescue was unimaginable. He was imprisoned and literally surrounded on both sides by armed guards! Yet, God miraculously answered the fervent prayers of the gathered Church that he might be released.
Amazingly in the midst of his imprisonment Peter sleeps seemingly unconcerned by his perilous situation. In doing so, he is imitating Jesus’ response to similar situations and circumstances. He demonstrates an assurance that he is in God’s hands and that God’s will be done.
Lord, help us to be fervent prayers trusting in your compassion and power evermore. Help us to imitate Christ like trust and calmness in the midst of life’s storms trusting in you.
