Last week, in Acts 16, the “place of prayer” describes the location where Paul and his companions encountered the woman, Lydia, who became a believer. This week, the “place of prayer” is a daily destination that puts into their path another woman who is afflicted and in search of relief. How is the practice of prayer evidenced in the lives of the earliest apostles? What might we learn from them when it comes to our perspective on and practice of prayer today?
