It was while Daniel was praying that an angel was commissioned to fly swiftly and give him skill and understanding. The answer to that prayer gave us the history of the world in advance, and pointed out the course of apostasy and the eternal triumph of God's faithful children. It was when Peter was praying that God taught him the great lesson of the equality of men in the sight of heaven. Acts 11: 5-18. It was while the church was gathered together in earnest prayer that God sent his angel and slipped the shackles from imprisoned Peter, opening locked doors and bolted gates to set him free. It was while Paul and Silas were praying and praising God, in spite of their lacerated backs and imprisoned limbs, that an earthquake shook them free. We must be a praying people if we are to be a triumphant people.
