Pray with Expectation - Part 2

One would expect the praying Christians to eagerly await the answer to their prayer. I believe they prayed with expectation. However, when the answer to their prayer came, they least expected it, or so it seemed.  


Peter knocked at the outer entrance, and a servant named Rhoda came to answer the door. When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed she ran back without opening it and exclaimed, “Peter is at the door!”
“You’re out of your mind,” they told her. When she kept insisting that it was so, they said, “It must be his angel.”


The Church was praying... praying for God to intervene and rescue Peter from Herod's wicked hands. Nevertheless, when God did, and they were told, they told Rhoda, the carrier of the good news that she was out of her mind. Were they really praying with expectation and faith?


This is a question we must ask, and a question we must answer about our own prayers. Do we believe God will do what we pray about? Are we in expectation of the answers to our prayers? Do we have faith when we pray?
