Word of the Day: Psalm 99:6

Word of the Day

"….they called upon the Lord, and He answered them."
Psalm 99:6

I love to pray! In my devotions I was reminded again of the account of Peter and when he was miraculously delivered from prison. The church was fervently praying for Peter. It must have been something to be there and hear the earnest and sincere prayers of these brothers and sisters in Christ. With all the persecution that was going on in the early church, this was a life and death prayer request. As you know, God did answer their prayers and Peter showed up at the door. He knocked and the servant girl, Rhoda recognized his voice. She was so overjoyed she didn't open the door, but ran in to tell the others. Their response to her was "You're out of your mind." What happened there? Did they really believe God was going to answer their requests? I'm sure if we are honest there are times we are all like those that were at that prayer meeting.

God does answer prayer. I know He doesn't always answer in the way I want, but that's ok because God knows what's best. With that being said I still want to have a heart that believes in prayer and believes God answers prayer. I always want to pray in such a way that I won't be surprised if "Peter is at the door."

"On the day I called, You answered me; You made me bold with strength in my soul." Psalm 138:3
