VERSE:
They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the
women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers.
-- Acts 1:14

THOUGHT:
Jesus' resurrection changed everything! The women who were so
faithful to him through the crucifixion and resurrection are there,
obediently praying in expectation. As we might expect, Jesus'
mother is there praying as well. But look carefully and you will
see Jesus' brothers, once doubting and ridiculing him, now praying
in expectation of their risen brother's release of power through
the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Yes, they are waiting, but not
idly waiting. Yes, they are praying, but they are also expecting
the great work of the risen Jesus which will be done through them!
God does amazing things when people who love the risen Jesus pray
with expectation. So what are you waiting for? Get with a group of
those who love Jesus, and pray with expectation for God's work to
be done through you.
PRAYER:
Almighty and all-powerful God, please bless my efforts as I seek
to encourage others to join me in fervent prayer. I pray that you
will bring revival among those who call on your name and a stirring
among those who are hungry but don't yet recognize their hunger is
for Jesus. Please bring revival to your people and an outpouring of
grace to those who need to know Jesus as their Savior. In Jesus'
name I pray. Amen.
