What should Christians ask for in prayer?

Answered in 1 source

Christians should ask for boldness to proclaim God's word and for God's will to be done in their lives.

In Acts 4, the early church provides a profound example of how to approach prayer. Rather than asking for comfort or peace amid threats, they prayed for boldness to speak God's word: 'Grant unto thy servants that with all boldness they may speak thy word' (Acts 4:29). This reflects a commitment to God's mission over their own safety. Christians today are encouraged to approach prayer with a similar mindset — seeking not merely personal requests, but asking how they can glorify God and fulfill His will. By prioritizing God's purposes in their prayers, believers can cultivate a deeper relationship with Him and become instruments of His grace in the world.
