In this chapter Peter is about to be killed. Christians gathered together to pray for Peters deliverance and then they were shocked when he showed up!! I am shocked by their shock. It seems that they had been seeing many miracles almost on a daily basis and this one is no different. Wow.
Don't be shocked when God answers your prayers. Pray according to God's desires rather than yours.
I think I am most shocked that God in His grace has allowed my will to align with His in those moments. That the thing for which I asked is that which He also desires. I know my heart's desires are often off the mark. So to have Him alter and direct my desires to His holy purposes in those moments is a grace unto itself, not to mention the actual answered prayer.
