Believers Pray for Boldness

Acts 4:23-31

Chapter 4
23 They were released, but they went to their own people and reported to them whatever the chief priests and the elders had said. 24 And when they heard it, they lifted their voices together to God and said, "Master, you are the one who made the heaven and the earth and the sea and everything in them." 25 Our father, through the Holy Spirit by the mouth of your servant David, said: "Why did the nations rage and the peoples plot empty things?" 26 The kings of the earth took their stand, and the rulers gathered together against him, against the Lord and against his Christ. 27 For truly in this city they were gathered together against your holy child Jesus, whom you anointed—Herod as well as Pontius Pilate, together with the nations and peoples of Israel. 28 to do whatever your hand and your counsel foreordained to happen. 29 And now, Lord, look upon their threats and grant to your slaves to speak your word with all boldness. 30 in order to stretch out your hand to do healings and signs and wonders through the name of your holy child Jesus. 31 And when they had prayed, the place where they were gathered was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God with boldness.
