“When he realized this, he went to the home of Mary, the mother of John Mark, where many were gathered for prayer. He knocked at the door in the gate, and a servant girl named Rhoda came to open it. When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed that, instead of opening the door, she ran back inside and told everyone, ‘Peter is standing at the door!’

‘You’re out of your mind!’ they said. When she insisted, they decided, ‘It must be his angel.’

Meanwhile, Peter continued knocking. When they finally opened the door and saw him, they were amazed. He motioned for them to quiet down and told them how the Lord had led him out of prison. ‘Tell James and the other brothers what happened,’ he said. And then he went to another place.” -Acts 12:12-17 NLT

• Seek the Influence of the Lord

“You are the light of the world—like a city on a hilltop that cannot be hidden. No one lights a lamp and then puts it under a basket. Instead, a lamp is placed on a stand, where it gives light to everyone in the house. In the same way, let your good deeds shine out for all to see, so that everyone will praise your heavenly Father.” -Matthew 5:14-16 NLT

• Seek the Presence of the Lord

“Search for the Lord and for his strength; continually seek him.” -Psalm 105:4 NLT

“But from there [from a place of destitution] you will search again for the Lord your God. And if you search for him with all your heart and soul, you will find him.” -Deuteronomy 4:29 NLT
