The early followers of Jesus, facing opposition after a miraculous healing, show us how to pray in Acts chapter 4. Instead of asking for an end to their troubles, they first declared God’s sovereignty, acknowledging His ultimate power. They understood their struggles were part of God’s plan and that His will would prevail. Their prayer then shifted to asking for boldness to speak God’s word and for Him to continue performing signs and wonders through them. This powerful prayer reveals their profound faith and their desire to be instruments of God’s will, not just recipients of His protection. What do your prayers say about your faith?
