The Believers Pray For Courage

[23] And being let go, they went to their own company, and reported all that the chief priests and elders had said unto them. [24] And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is: [25] Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things? [26] The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ. [27] For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together, [28] For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done. [29] And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, [30] By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. [31] And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,

And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.

And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.

Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.

• War

Watch ye, stand fast in the faith, quit you like men, be strong.

Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do.

For thou, O LORD of hosts, God of Israel, hast revealed to thy servant, saying, I will build thee an house: therefore hath thy servant found in his heart to pray this prayer unto thee.

• Gospel

And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,

But exhort one another daily, while it is called To day; lest any of you be hardened through the deceitfulness of sin.

• Heart
• War

Wait on the LORD: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the LORD.
