Strength in numbers

"As soon as they were freed, Peter and John returned to the other believers and told them what the leading priests and elders had said. When they heard the report, all the believers lifted their voices together in prayer to God..." Acts 4:23-24 NLT

Having been threatened by the religious leaders not to preach Jesus, Peter and John went to the body of believers. The body of believers went to God in prayer. When following Christ becomes challenging to whom do you go? Do you pray to God? Do you have anyone with whom you pray?

God connects us with other believers so that we can share together the joys and challenges of our discipleship journey. When challenged spiritually we need to have people around us with whom we can share our challenge and they need to be people who will go with us to God in prayer. We also need to be a person to whom others can come when they are challenged with confidence that we will hear and pray with them. There is spiritual strength in spiritual numbers. Together we grow forward in the journey.

Father, deepen my connection with fellow believers in the life of Your church so that together we can successfully journey forward with Christ.

I'm praying for you.
