Daily Bible for Kids - October 22nd, 25: An Angel Frees Peter: God’s Rescue and Power in Acts 12

Show Notes

Welcome to the Daily Radio Bible for Kids! In today's episode, host Hunter guides us through an extraordinary story from the Book of Acts. We hear about King Herod's persecution of the early church, the dramatic arrest of Peter, and the miraculous intervention of an angel who sets Peter free from prison. As believers gather to pray, God shows His power to rescue and help in times of trouble. Along the way, Hunter reminds us of the importance of prayer, the strength we get from God's presence, and the unshakable truth that we are deeply loved. Gather around for this inspiring adventure through scripture, and get ready to be encouraged in your own walk with God!

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

God hears the prayers of His people, and He is powerful to rescue. What an incredible story we hear today in the book of Acts! Peter was in a tough spot—arrested, imprisoned, and kept under heavy guard. It looked hopeless, but the church didn’t give up. Instead, they prayed—earnestly, together. And God answered their prayers in a stunning way, sending an angel to set Peter free. Chains fell off, gates opened by themselves, and Peter walked right out of the prison, not even sure if it was real at first!

Sometimes in life, we or our friends might face problems or things that seem impossible, just like Peter did. But God invites us to come to Him in prayer. He is strong, He is willing to help, and He is always with us. Sometimes the answer will surprise us, just like it did for Peter and the praying church. Sometimes God gives us strength to endure, or He sends help in ways we can’t imagine.

Psalm 46:1 says, God is our refuge and strength, always ready to help in times of trouble. You’re never alone—even when things seem dark or impossible. God’s love and power can reach right into your situation. He can set you free, give you peace, and surround you with His care.

So when you are in trouble, or when someone you know is facing something hard, turn to God. Ask for His help. Invite others to pray with you, too. Remember, our God is powerful and He loves you deeply. You are never out of His reach.

That’s a prayer I have for my own heart, for my family, and for you today: that we would remember to pray, to trust, and to lean on the God who rescues and provides. May it be so.
