The church prayed for Peter while he was in prison, and God sent an angel to
rescue him. God wants us to pray together at all times and give our thanks and
requests to God.
Bible Verse:
Always be joyful and never stop
praying. Whatever happens, keep thanking God because of Jesus Christ. This is
what God wants you to do. (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, CEV)
Bible Story Reference: Acts 12:1-17
