Waiting upon God in prayer is not something we do as a luxury when we have a slow day or week, if we ever feel we have one of those. We wait upon God and devote ourselves to prayer when we find ourselves in a similar position to that of the disciples – facing overwhelming responsibilities and knowing we need the power of God in order to go forward.
The Acts of the Apostles is the fifth book in the New Testament. The book of Acts deals with the history of the earliest Christian church and includes a major section on the career of Paul. New Testament scholars agree that the book of Acts and the Gospel of Luke were written by the same person. Most tend to date the two books around A.D. 80-85.
