He DOES Answer Prayer

I was reading Acts 12 this morning and I couldn’t help but question why God allowed Herod to “put to death James with the sword”, but when Peter was captured and put in prison, God rescued him. Why did God allow Peter to live (for now) but it was His will for James to die? I can’t help but wonder if part of the reason is found in verse 5: “So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.” You may be in a predicament right now, you may feel like you desperately need answers from God, you may not know what the next step for your life is. I pray that you find comfort today and this week in knowing there are people praying for you. God has shown us in Scripture time and time again that He DOES answer prayer. May you be encouraged by this truth. Have a great week in the Lord
