Boldness

And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldness.
Acts 4:29-31
My first thoughts were of those who to this day are persecuted because of their faith in Jesus. Those who live in places where it is dangerous for them to profess their faith. But I believe it also applies to us who the threat may not be prison or death but could be loss of a job or reputation. We all could use prayer to profess our faith in Christ with boldness. How awesome to gather in prayer with other believers and be in unity. To see the work of the Holy Spirit being done through us to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior to a hurting world.
