Until Acts 3, the early church enjoyed relative peace. Then Peter and John went and healed a crippled man. They were jailed and told to stop speaking in the name of Jesus. When they were released, they told the other Jesus followers what had happened. What do you think they did? Did they hold a protest in the town square? Seek to overthrow the government? Nope. They cried out to the Sovereign Lord of the universe in prayer. Their amazing prayer can radically shape the way we respond when our own lives are turned upside down.
