What does prayer look like in our darkest moments? Through the powerful story of Paul and Silas imprisoned in Philippi, Pastor Pamela illuminates how authentic prayer can transform our "midnight hours" - those seasons of deep trial and uncertainty. Drawing from Acts 16, she reveals how these faithful men chose to pray and sing hymns despite being beaten and chained, demonstrating that prayer isn't about denying our pain but deciding where to direct our focus.

Max Schiewe leads the middle school ministry at Good Shepherd and is a current seminary student.
