Pray Together

It is interesting that eventually "one of His disciples said to Him, 'Lord, teach us to pray just as John also taught his disciples'" (Lk 11:1). However, there was a caveat it pertained to being when "'I will see you again'" (Jn 16:22). For then, "'If you ask the Father for anything in My name He will give it to you'" (:23). This is because "we have confidence to enter the holy place by the blood of Jesus" (Heb 10:19). Cornelius was told "your prayer has been heard and your alms have been remembered before God" (Ac 10:30). Jesus stated "'I knew that You always hear Me'" (Jn 11:42). "They were continually devoting themselves to the apostles' teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer" (Ac 2:42). "All those who had believed were together and had all things in common (:44). Earlier they had gone "up to the upper room where they were staying . . . and these all with one mind were continually devoting themselves to prayer"(Ac 1:13-14). All were involved with a singular purpose. Another time "they lifted their voices to God with one accord" (Ac 4:24). They cited that it was "to be whatever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur" (:28). They then asked to "grant that your bond-servants may speak Your word with all confidence while You extend Your hand to heal, and signs and wonders take place" (:29-30). "And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit" (:31).
