Psalms 88:2-18
May my prayer reach Your presence; listen to my cry.For I have had enough troubles, and my life is near Sheol.I am counted among those going down to the Pit. I am like a man without strength,abandoned among the dead. I am like the slain lying in the grave, whom You no longer remember, and who are cut off from Your care.You have put me in the lowest part of the Pit, in the darkest places, in the depths.Your wrath weighs heavily on me; You have overwhelmed me with all Your waves. SelahYou have distanced my friends from me; You have made me repulsive to them. I am shut in and cannot go out.My eyes are worn out from crying. Lord, I cry out to You all day long; I spread out my hands to You.Do You work wonders for the dead? Do departed spirits rise up to praise You? SelahWill Your faithful love be declared in the grave, Your faithfulness in Abaddon?Will Your wonders be known in the darkness or Your righteousness in the land of oblivion?But I call to You for help, Lord; in the morning my prayer meets You.Lord, why do You reject me? Why do You hide Your face from me?From my youth, I have been afflicted and near death. I suffer Your horrors; I am desperate.Your wrath sweeps over me; Your terrors destroy me.They surround me like water all day long; they close in on me from every side.You have distanced loved one and neighbor from me; darkness is my only friend.

Acts 12:5-25
So Peter was kept in prison, but prayer was being made earnestly to God for him by the church.On the night before Herod was to bring him out for execution, Peter, bound with two chains, was sleeping between two soldiers, while the sentries in front of the door guarded the prison.Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the cell. Striking Peter on the side, he woke him up and said,“ Quick, get up!” Then the chains fell off his wrists.“ Get dressed,” the angel told him,“ and put on your sandals.” And he did so.“ Wrap your cloak around you,” he told him,“ and follow me.”So he went out and followed, and he did not know that what took place through the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision.After they passed the first and second guard posts, they came to the iron gate that leads into the city, which opened to them by itself. They went outside and passed one street, and immediately the angel left him.Then Peter came to himself and said,“ Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent His angel and rescued me from Herod’s grasp and from all that the Jewish people expected.”When he realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark, where many had assembled and were praying.He knocked at the door in the gateway, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer.She recognized Peter’s voice, and because of her joy, she did not open the gate but ran in and announced that Peter was standing at the gateway.“ You’re crazy!” they told her. But she kept insisting that it was true. Then they said,“ It’s his angel!”Peter, however, kept on knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were astounded.Motioning to them with his hand to be silent, he explained to them how the Lord had brought him out of the prison.“ Report these things to James and the brothers,” he said. Then he departed and went to a different place.At daylight, there was a great commotion among the soldiers as to what could have become of Peter.After Herod had searched and did not find him, he interrogated the guards and ordered their execution. Then Herod went down from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there.He had been very angry with the Tyrians and Sidonians. Together they presented themselves before him. They won over Blastus, who was in charge of the king’s bedroom, and through him they asked for peace, because their country was supplied with food from the king’s country.So on an appointed day, dressed in royal robes and seated on the throne, Herod delivered a public address to them.The assembled people began to shout,“ It’s the voice of a god and not of a man!”At once an angel of the Lord struck him because he did not give the glory to God, and he became infected with worms and died.Then God’s message flourished and multiplied.After they had completed their relief mission, Barnabas and Saul returned to Jerusalem, taking along John who is called Mark.
