Whew! What a start. The baby church leaders had been captured by guards, thrown into prison, cross examined by authorities, and then amazingly released. I think I would have been praying for protection and God's grace to prevent that kind of thing.
God must get excited about this kind of prayer because "After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly."
But not these men of God! They pray, "Now, Lord, consider their threats and enable your servants to speak your word with great boldness. Stretch out your hand to heal and perform signs and wonders through the name of your holy servant Jesus." (Acts 4:21-31)

Yes, God loves to send His Holy Spirit to answer our prayers for courage and boldness. Let's anticipate wonder-full earthshaking answers when we pray.
