Eutychus Falls Asleep in Church (Acts 20:7–12)

Paul is preaching late into the night.
A young man named Eutychus sits in a window…
and falls asleep.

He falls out of the third story window and dies.

Paul rushes down, raises him from the dead…
and then goes right back to preaching.

It’s the most “church life” moment in the New Testament.

Even the early Church had long sermons, tired people, and unexpected interruptions — and God still moved.

These stories remind us that Scripture isn’t a book of perfect people — it’s a book of real people. People who panic, laugh, argue, fall asleep, get overwhelmed, and say the wrong thing at the wrong time.

And yet, God works through all of it.

Holiness doesn’t erase humanity.
Holiness transforms it.

Laura is the voice behind Asking Him, a quiet space for prayer, reflection, and spiritual grounding in uncertain times.Her writing is rooted in faith, compassion, and the belief that prayer remains a refuge when words fall short. Through devotions, memorials, and moments of stillness, she seeks to honor human dignity and invite others into reverent pause.Asking Him is not a place for debate, but for intercession — a space to bring grief, gratitude, and hope before God.
