THE BELIEVER'S PRAYER

The early Christians were threatened not to share Jesus to people who do not know Him, but they prayed to the Lord.

Here is their prayer:

24 And when they heard this, they lifted their voices to God with one accord and said, “O Lord, it is You who made the heaven and the earth and the sea, and all that is in them, 25 who by the Holy Spirit, through the mouth of our father David Your servant, said,

‘Why did the Gentiles rage,
And the peoples devise futile things?
26
‘The kings of the earth took their stand,
And the rulers were gathered together
Against the Lord and against His Christ.’

27 For truly in this city there were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus, whom You anointed, both Herod and Pontius Pilate, along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel, 28 to do whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur. 29 And now, Lord, take note of their threats, and grant that Your bond-servants may speak Your word with all confidence, 30 while You extend Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders take place through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.” 31 And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness.

Acts.: 4: 24-31.
New American Standard Bible

Notice how believer prayed. First, they praised God; then they told God their specific problem and asked for help. They did not ask God to remove the problem, but to help them deal with it. We can follow this model when we pray. We may ask God to remove our problems, and he may choose to do so. But we must recognize that often He will leave the problem in the place and give us the strength and courage to deal with it.

In a world does not seem to respect God, we must pray for boldness and strength to represent Him well, and by our words and actions be His vessels by which He draws others into saving relationships with Jesus Christ.

Thank you for stopping by and God bless us all :-)
