They with one accord raised their voices to God.—Acts 4:24.
Think
about your own prayers. Do they reflect your keen interest in
Jehovah’s Kingdom, in the doing of his will, and in the
sanctification of his holy name? (Matt. 6:9, 10) They should.
Because of persecution or other trials, prayer often includes pleas
for help to serve Jehovah with courage. When the Sanhedrin ordered
Peter and John to stop ‘teaching upon the basis of Jesus’ name,’
those apostles courageously refused to quit. (Acts 4:18-20) After
being released, they told fellow believers what had happened. Then
all those present petitioned God for help in speaking his word with
boldness. How thrilling it must have been when that prayer was
answered, for they were “filled with the holy spirit and were
speaking the word of God with boldness”! (Acts 4:24-31) As a
result, multitudes became worshippers of Jehovah. Prayer can also
strengthen you to declare the good news boldly. w09
