1 Slept peacefully on death row

Acts 12:1-6 (NIV) It was about this time that King Herod arrested some who belonged to the church, intending to persecute them. 2  He had James, the brother of John, put to death with the sword. 3  When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to seize Peter also. This happened during the Feast of Unleavened Bread. 4  After arresting him, he put him in prison, handing him over to be guarded by four squads of four soldiers each. Herod intended to bring him out for public trial after the Passover. 5  So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him. 6  The night before Herod was to bring him to trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, and sentries stood guard at the entrance.

Psalm 3:1-6 (NASB)  O LORD, how my adversaries have increased! Many are rising up against me. 2  Many are saying of my soul, "There is no deliverance for him in God." Selah. 3  But You, O LORD, are a shield about me, My glory, and the One who lifts my head. 4  I was crying to the LORD with my voice, And He answered me from His holy mountain. Selah. 5  I lay down and slept; I awoke, for the LORD sustains me. 6  I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people Who have set themselves against me round about.
