Long ago, in the early days of the church, there was a brave follower of Jesus named Peter. Peter loved to tell everyone about Jesus—how He loved people, healed the sick, and rose again. Many people believed, but not everyone was happy about it. Some leaders became angry. One day, they decided to arrest Peter and put him in jail. Peter was locked inside a dark prison. Heavy chains were placed on his wrists, and strong guards stood watch at the doors. It seemed impossible to escape. But Peter was not alone. That night, something very special was happening outside the prison… All the believers had gathered together in a house. They were praying with all their hearts. “Please, God, protect Peter,” they prayed. “Keep him safe and help him!” God was listening. 🌙 A Miracle in the Night Late that night, while Peter was sleeping between two guards, a bright light suddenly filled the prison cell. An angel of the Lord appeared! The angel gently tapped Peter on the side and said, “Quick! Get up!” At once, Peter’s chains fell off his wrists! Peter blinked in surprise. Was he dreaming? “Put on your clothes and sandals,” the angel said. Peter quickly obeyed. “Follow me,” the angel told him. 🚪 Doors Open by Themselves Peter followed the angel past the guards. No one saw them. They came to the big iron gate that led outside the prison… And suddenly— 👉 The gate opened all by itself! Peter couldn’t believe his eyes. They walked out into the quiet street. After they had gone a little distance, the angel suddenly disappeared. Peter stopped and looked around. “This is real!” he said. “God has rescued me!” 🏠 A Joyful Surprise Peter hurried to the house where his friends were praying. He knocked on the door. Inside, a girl named Rhoda came to answer. When she heard Peter’s voice, she was so excited that she forgot to open the door! “It’s Peter! He’s here!” she shouted, running back inside. The others were amazed. “That can’t be!” they said. But Peter kept knocking. Finally, they opened the door—and there he was! Everyone was filled with joy. God had answered their prayers in an amazing way! 💛 What We Learn Peter’s story teaches us something very important: God hears us when we pray 🙏 God can do the impossible ✨ We are never alone, even in hard times 💛 Even when things seem scary or hopeless, God is always in control.
