Prayer based on Acts 4:8. Themes: Holy Spirit, Leadership, Authority

Dear Lord, fill me with your Holy Spirit just as you did with Peter. Give me the courage and wisdom to speak truth to those in positions of authority, just as Peter did when he addressed the rulers and elders of Israel. Help me to always stand up for what is right and just, even when it may be difficult or unpopular. May your Spirit guide my words and actions, and may they bring glory to your name. Amen.

Verse: Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, “You rulers of the people and elders of Israel,
Acts 4:8

This is a Command. Peter is commanding the rulers and elders of Israel.
