Lord, help me by the power of Your Holy Spirit to commit to studying and personally applying the lessons of Acts.  Your program of redemption will move forward according to Your time table. (Acts 1:8).

     Help me to serve You my Lord with a genuine, sacrificial heart.  Lord, show me how to be selfless, and sacrificial in my attitudes and actions and so cause growth in the church. (Acts 5:41). 

     Teach me to trust You in tragedies.  I know that Your plan dear God is not hindered even in life’s apparent tragedies. (Acts 7:59, 60). 

     I believe with all my heart in  the power of the gospel.  You are the gospel and You know no boundaries. (Acts 9:22).

     Help me to  witness to all “kinds” of people.  Make me eager to share  the gospel and  to think Your thoughts after You concerning the lost. (Acts 11:17).
