In the previous chapters, we learned the apostles devoted themselves to four activities: the apostles’ teaching, fellowship, the breaking of bread, and prayer (Acts 2:42). Prayer was not a casual, haphazard, religious activity attached to their busy careers, but a sort of neurological system tying the body to the head in terms of communication. They were devoted to prayer because it was essential to the church and each individual believer. Prayer was on the same par with the apostle’s teaching, fellowship, and with breaking of bread. Over the centuries prayer has been central to the healthy church just as prayerlessness has characterized the church with carnality and corruption. By His Spirit, God leads us to pray according to His will. And by that same Spirit, He answers prayer working all things according to His will. This begs the question, why does God require we pray?
