Acts 4:
16 "What shall we do with these men?" they asked each other. "We can't deny that they have done a tremendous miracle, and everybody in Jerusalem knows about it. But perhaps we can stop them from spreading their propaganda. We'll tell them that if they do it again we'll really throw the book at them."
So they called them back in, and told them never again to speak about Jesus....
23 As soon as they were freed, Peter and John found the other disciples and told them what the Council had said.
Then all the believers united in this prayer:
"O Lord, Creator of heaven and earth and of the sea and everything in them - You spoke long ago by the Holy Spirit through our ancestor King David, Your servant, saying, 'Why do the heathen rage against the Lord, and the foolish nations plan their little plots against Almighty God? The kings of the earth unite to fight against him and against the anointed Son of God!'
27 "That is what is happening here in this city today! For Herod the king, and Pontius Pilate the governor, and all the Romans - as well as the people of Israel - are united against Jesus, Your anointed Son, Your holy servant.
They won't stop at anything that You in Your wise power will let them do. And now, O Lord, hear their threats, and grant to your servants great boldness in their preaching, and send your healing power, and may miracles and wonders be done by the name of Your holy servant, Jesus." |
31 After this prayer, the building where they were meeting shook, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and boldly preached God's message.

Jeremiah Chapter 29 says this about YOU:
11 "For I know the plans I have for you," says the Lord.
"They are plans for good and not for evil,
to give you a future and a hope.
12 In those days when you pray, I will listen.
13 You will find me when you seek me,
if you look for me in earnest.
14 "Yes," says the Lord,
"I will be found by you,
and I will end your slavery and restore your fortunes;
