New Testament Prayers
The Church's Prayer for Boldness
Grant Unto Thy Servants Boldness
Description
After Peter and John were threatened by the authorities, the early church gathered to pray—not for safety, but for boldness to continue speaking God's word with signs and wonders.
Key Verses
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... And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word, By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus. 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.
