In Acts 12:6-11, we find the wonderful and somewhat humorous story about how Peter is freed from the prison cell. It's truly the hand of God and we can see that no matter what Herod thought he was going to do, God's plan prevailed. This story is also humorous in Peter's response....He was out of it not even waking to the bright light, had to be reminded to get dressed, get his shoes, his coat and thought he was having a vision. He finally wakes up and realizes God has set him free!
As you trust God in your own life, you can take a lesson from Peter. He was on the eve of his death, but was sleeping soundly in a cold and uncomfortable cell. How was he able to sleep? He trusted God. Might I ask you to consider that on your sleepless nights when you can't get a trouble out of your mind and you are restless, are you trusting God completely? I believe that Peter lived 1 Peter 5:7 and gave all his fears to God and God gave Him peace. And God can do that for you too.
