When Peter was kept in prison, the church was earnestly praying for him


When Peter was kept in prison, the church was earnestly praying for him

Acts 12:5
So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.

Acts 1:14
14 They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.

Rom 15:30, 31
30 I urge you, brothers and sisters, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to join me in my struggle by praying to God for me. 31 Pray that I may be kept safe from the unbelievers in Judea and that the contribution I take to Jerusalem may be favorably received by the Lord’s people there,        

Eph 6:18
18 And pray in the Spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests. With this in mind, be alert and always keep on praying for all the Lord’s people.

We learn the following from the above verses

1)  When Peter was kept in prison, the church was earnestly praying for him
2)  Early church was praying together constantly
3)  Paul requested fellow believers to pray for his safety, and his preaching so that he can be received.
4)  We should pray in spirit on all occasions with all kinds of prayers and requests.
