Our Pastor preached on Sunday morning from Acts, where Peter had been imprisoned and an angel came to him in the night and led him safely out of jail. The common thread he identified in Peter's response, that of the believers praying and Rhoda was that they all had a little bit of faith, mixed with disbelief.
Peter in a dazy-haze, walking along with the angel didn't actually realize he was being led to freedom until after the angel went away and he looked around. Rhoda heard Peter's voice through the door and didn't believe it was him, though she had been praying for him along with the other believers in the house. When Rhoda ran with excitement to tell the others that Peter was freed and stood outside the door, the believers responded that it must be his angel.
The point our Pastor made was this: though each of them doubted that God had answered their prayers, they all had enough faith to pray. He challenged us to take the little bit of faith we have and pray for what's on our hearts. We don't have to muster up a large amount of faith for God to move; we just need enough faith to pray and ask Him.
Is there anything you're afraid to ask God for in prayer? Ask God for enough faith to pray.
