Lord, grant to  your servants 
to speak your  word with all boldness. Acts 4:29
The church was just beginning. 
The Holy Spirit had just come down. 
Peter and John had helped a lame man  walk.
And when they told how -- "in the name of Jesus  Christ of Nazareth, stand up and walk" -- they were dragged before the  authorities. 
Two pages after Pentecost, the persecutions had  already begun. What had also begun was the prayers! "Lord, grant to your servants to speak your word with all  boldness."
The entire book of Acts is a testimony to human  boldness ... and even more so, to Holy Spirit power.
If you don't have either boldness or Holy Spirit  power, it's time to start praying this prayer. Stick it on your mirror.  Tape it on your dashboard. "Lord, grant to your servants  to speak your word with all boldness."
In Christ's Love,
a guy who prays "more, Lord,  more"
-- more Spirit, more power, more  boldness
