"Arise up quickly"

ISABEL F. BATES

Let us not believe that we have to go through life burdened, suffering, or threatened with failure, for this is not so.

Consider the experience of Peter, Jesus' disciple. He was imprisoned, in chains, and heavily guarded by King Herod's soldiers. "But prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him," we read in the Bible. "And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands."^{Acts 12:5, 7;}

It is prayer, pure and selfless, that reveals to us the angels of divine Love, the spiritual intuitions or angel messages from God that can lead us to our freedom.
