The account of Elijah praying for rain after a three-year drought, as depicted in 1 Kings 18:41-45, vividly demonstrates God’s sovereignty over natural phenomena and underscores the efficacy of faithful prayer, showing how God responded to Elijah’s earnest intercession by ending the severe drought with a significant rainfall, thereby affirming His supremacy over the idolatrous worship of Baal.
In Acts 12:6-10, the miraculous release of Peter from prison, facilitated by an angel of the Lord and amidst the fervent prayers of the early Christian community, vividly demonstrates God’s sovereign power to intervene and deliver His faithful servants from the clutches of earthly persecution.
