Call out to me. I will answer you. I will tell you great things you do not know. And unless I do, you wouldn’t be able to find out about them.”

“ Again, here is what I tell you. Suppose two of you on earth agree about anything you ask for. My Father in heaven will do it for you.

Call out to me when trouble comes. I will save you. And you will honor me.”

He will call out to me, and I will answer him. I will be with him in times of trouble. I will save him and honor him.

What if the number of godly people is five fewer than 50? Will you destroy the whole city because there are five fewer people?”“ If I find 45 there,” he said,“ I will not destroy it.”

The Lord saved me from the paw of the lion. He saved me from the paw of the bear. And he’ll save me from the powerful hand of this Philistine too.” Saul said to David,“ Go. And may the Lord be with you.”

Then once again you will see the difference between godly people and sinful people. And you will see the difference between those who serve me and those who do not.

Perhaps the Lord your God will hear everything the field commander has said. His master, the king of Assyria, has sent him to make fun of the living God. Maybe the Lord your God will punish him for what he has heard him say. So pray for the remaining people who are still alive here.’ ”

The Lord stood at my side. He gave me the strength to preach the whole message. Then all the Gentiles heard it. I was saved from the lion’s mouth.The Lord will save me from every evil attack. He will bring me safely to his heavenly kingdom. Give him glory for ever and ever. Amen.

Then Esther sent a reply to Mordecai. She said,“ Go. Gather together all the Jews who are in Susa. And fast for my benefit. Don’t eat or drink anything for three days. Don’t do it night or day. I and my attendants will fast just as you do. Then I’ll go to the king. I’ll do it even though it’s against the law. And if I have to die, I’ll die.”So Mordecai went away. He carried out all Esther’s directions.

“ What do you think? Suppose a man owns 100 sheep and one of them wanders away. Won’t he leave the 99 sheep on the hills? Won’t he go and look for the one that wandered off?

Since all this is true, then the Lord knows how to save godly people. He knows how to keep them safe in times of testing. The Lord also knows how to keep ungodly people under guard. He will do so until the day they will be judged and punished.

After Herod arrested Peter, he put him in prison. Peter was placed under guard. He was watched by four groups of four soldiers each. Herod planned to put Peter on public trial. It would take place after the Passover Feast.

The believers heard this. Then they raised their voices together in prayer to God.“ Lord and King,” they said,“ you made the heavens, the earth and the sea. You made everything in them.Long ago you spoke by the Holy Spirit. You spoke through the mouth of our father David, who served you. You said,“‘ Why are the nations angry? Why do the people make useless plans?The kings of the earth rise up. The rulers of the earth gather together against the Lord and against his anointed king.’( Psalm 2:1, 2)In fact, Herod and Pontius Pilate met with the Gentiles in this city. They also met with the people of Israel. All of them made plans against your holy servant Jesus. He is the one you anointed.They did what your power and purpose had already decided should happen.Now, Lord, consider the bad things they say they are going to do. Help us to be very bold when we speak your word.Stretch out your hand to heal. Do signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus.”After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. They were all filled with the Holy Spirit. They were bold when they spoke God’s word.

Brothers and sisters, I ask you to join me in my struggle. Join me by praying to God for me. I ask this through the authority of our Lord Jesus Christ. Pray for me with the love the Holy Spirit provides.

Trust in the Lord with all your heart. Do not depend on your own understanding.In all your ways obey him. Then he will make your paths smooth and straight.

We might be thrown into the blazing furnace. But the God we serve is able to bring us out of it alive. He will save us from your power.
