After they prayed

Have you ever wondered how much of a difference it makes when we pray?  Some of us pray structured, "according to Your will prayers", others of us prefer the shotgun approach.  "Lord, bless everyone!". I believe that effective prayer is somewhere in the middle.  I'm thankful Jesus taught His disciples, and thus, us. to pray. It's a fine example of what our priorities should be when we pray. In Acts chapter 4, the apostles had been questioned and threatened by the Sanhedrin after a man was miraculously healed (Acts 4:1-30). They went back to the church and told them about it.  They lifted their voices in prayer and the Bible says this:

Acts 4:31       After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.
Bold, faith-filled prayers make a difference. Praise God!
