Acts 12:7 Now behold, an angel of the Lord stood by him, and a light shone in the prison; and he struck Peter on the side and raised him up, saying, “Arise quickly!” And his chains fell off his hands.
Even though Herod was about to let Peter out of prison, God wanted to make a point and sent the angel to release him before anyone had time to get him out.
God’s timing is perfect. It was not just to show Herod nothing is impossible with God, but to show the people who were praying for him that God was in control too.
Just because things seem impossible, don’t give up on the prayers. God is our God of miracles, then and now. Believe in Him and trust in Him, always.
