Today’s Bible Verse: “When the people heard this, they were cut to the heart and said to Peter and the other apostles, ‘Brothers, what shall we do? Peter replied, ‘Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.’" — Acts 2:37-38

Acts 2:37 captures the moment the gospel truly landed in people’s hearts. After hearing Peter preach about Jesus, the crowd wasn’t merely informed—they were deeply convicted. The message pierced through distraction, pride, and routine, leading them to ask a life-changing question: “What shall we do?”

This passage reminds us that the gospel is meant to move us, not just educate us. Sometimes we become so familiar with the story of Jesus that we stop feeling its weight and wonder. But when we hear it again with open hearts, it has the power to awaken conviction, repentance, and renewed faith.

A Prayer for Jesus to Calm the Storms of Life - Your Daily Prayer - May 15

We are so similar to the Twelve Disciples. When a storm comes upon us, we instantly doubt the Lord. Rather than doubting Jesus, we must trust Him. Just as He calms the roaring waters, He can also calm the storms of our lives.
