Tonight during our fellowship potluck, we were discussing Acts 10-11; and when we read Acts 10:9 (which says, "About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray."), I started thinking about what Peter's prayers might have been like. Did they consist of the Jewish prayers: prescribed prayers that were recited in a certain way at a certain time? Or was he praying to Jesus: in essence, talking to his best friend who had been killed not so very long before this? Surely he must have learned a lot about prayer from watching the example of Jesus who prayed often (and long and intensely) while here on earth; maybe Peter's prayers were very similar to the conversations Jesus had with His Father during His years on earth?
I wish I could go back in time and be a fly on the roof of Simon the Tanner's house the day Peter prayed there, just so I could see what his prayers were like. :)
