Acts 7:59-60 “As they STONED him, stephen prayed, “Lord Jesus, recieve my spirit.” he fell to his knees shouting “lord don’t charge them with this sin” and with that, he died.
Stephen was being stoned and mocked and he still had the power to praise God and ask that He doesn’t punish the people who are stoning him for their sin, I wish I could be like that, I wish that in the MIDST of an attack I could just break down and ask for forgivness for my enemies sin!
Prayer,
Lord please break my heart, lord give me a sense of patience and kindness in my heart lord, please help me to keep my temper down low where it belongs, lord I pray that you would keep me strong in every hard situation that I face in life, lord I pray that you give me courage to just turn the other cheek as you did Lord, in your name I pray, Amen.

Acts 6:1 “But the believers rapidly multiplied”
I wish that the whole world would come to know Christ and that everyone could see God’s grace!
Prayer: kinda random but who cares!
Dear lord, I pray that cinema church will not only change ct but I pray that it will change the world. Lord I pray that you could give me the strength to spread your name to those in need! In your name. amen.

Acts 5:19 “but an angel of the Lord came at night, opened the gates of the jail and brought them out”
This verse hits me because sometimes I feel like I’m just stuck or lost and then the Lord shows up and opens all kinds of gates and shows me the way.
My prayer,
Dear Lord I pray that you can not only be with me at all times but show it, Lord I know you’re always with me, I will rejoice in your name and I will praise you forever, lord keep opening the doors for me, I thank you for being with me when I am lost, and even when I am found, Lord I’m glad I found you. In your Holy name Amen

Acts 4:29 …give us great boldness in serving your name.
This verse hits me because sometimes I have trouble spreading the word and, sometimes I’m afraid of what people will say or do, and I think that they will make fun of me and shut me out right away.
My prayer,
Dear lord, please give me extream boldness to spread your word and live the life you want me to live, because the same power that conquered the grave lives in me and I wouldn’t want that to go to waste. And the blood that rescued the earth also lives in me, and lord you deserve all the attention of this world, I’m going to do everything in my power to spread your name! In your name I pray amen.

Acts 3:15-16 “you killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. And we are a witness of this fact!” “Through faith in the name of Jesus this man was healed.”
This verse really demonstrates the Lords power, he raised a man from the dead and through Peters faith, he healed a paralyzed man just by putting his hand on him and saying “get up and walk!” for that moment I know how that man felt to be healed and saved by the Glory of the Lord.
Acts 3:8 “He jumped up, stood on his feet and began to walk! Then, walking, leaping and praising God..”
Because he was healed he now praises God, I felt the same way when I was saved and continue to feel that way til this day, I feel like we all should be running, leaping and doing crazy things for God. I feel that if I even do the littlest things that make people happy then God is happy. The little things are what matter in life.
Dear Lord I pray that you heal the people who don’t know you, lord I pray that you soften their hearts to come to know you lord, I pray that you would use me in an incredible way and that you would make your name known through me. In your name i pray amen

So uhhh tonight I read acts 2, my key verse was Acts 2:34-35 “…Sit at my right hand, till I make your enemies your footstool…”
This verse gives me a sort of reassurence for my life, because no matter what I do or who hates me or has anything against me, as long as I have God in my life that He will take care of me no matter what the situation is. God is capable of doing anything and everything.
My prayer for this chapter is,
“Dear Lord, make my enemies my footstool lord, make the ones who don’t like me or the ones who despise me realize that they’re wrong. Lord watch over me and keep me safe, God take me in your loving arms and make things visible to me, Lord I pray that my “enemies” will come to know you Lord and have an amazing life with you. In your name I pray. Amen”

So tonight I read Acts one, this chapter had a few things in it that hit me, but the one that hit me the most was acts 1:7-8. “the father alone has the authority to set those dates and times, and they are not for you to know. But you will recieve power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere”
This verse made me realize that even more that you shouldn’t worry about tomorrow because tomorrow will worry about itself, because God has already planned and forgave me for everything that will happen tomorrow.
My prayer is/was: Dear Lord, I pray that you will use me in a way that no one can imagine, I pray that you open my eyes to an amazing future and life with you, Lord I pray that you have an amazing and incredible plan for me. Lord as I live my life I pray that you’re with me in the things I do to serve you today, tomorrow and forever. In your glorious name I pray, Amen
