Acts Quotes

“In praying, “Thy kingdom come, thy will be done,” we pray that God will be true to himself and give us what has been promised. Prayer is thus boldness born out of confidence in the faithfulness of God to the promises he makes, confidence that God will be true to himself. What may appear as prayerful insolence by the church in praying that we shall receive the Spirit, the kingdom, power, and restoration is in fact the deepest humility, the church’s humble realization that only God can give what the church most desperately needs.”
― William H. Willimon, Acts: Interpretation: A Bible Commentary for Teaching and Preaching
