Prayer prompt: Review Acts 3:1-10. For 10 minutes, meditate on the images from the story, the place–Herod’s Temple. The people, Peter, John, the lame man, and the crowd at the temple complex. What do you see? How are these events impacting people witnessing them? For the next 10 minutes, reflect on the lame man. What is his life as a beggar? What would he be thinking about Peter and John? What might he have been expecting from them? How would the healing have changed his life? His ideas about God? As you think through this, how does your soul react? Does it believe God is capable of such miracles? Do you believe God is doing this type of miracle today? What healing do you need in your life? Do you believe God wants to do that work? How does your heart feel? Tell God the healing you desire. Listen to what He says.
