The Next Big One

Oh Lord,

It is You who MADE THE HEAVEN AND THE EARTH AND THE SEA, AND ALL THAT IS IN THEM,

who by the mouth of David Your servant, said,

    "WHY DID THE GENTILES RAGE,
    AND THE PEOPLES DEVISE FUTILE THINGS?
    THE KINGS OF THE EARTH TOOK THEIR STAND,
    AND THE RULERS WERE GATHERED TOGETHER
    AGAINST THE LORD AND AGAINST HIS CHRIST."

For truly in this city were gathered together against Your holy servant Jesus,
whom You anointed,
both Herold and Pontius Pilate,
along with the Gentiles and the peoples of Israel,
to do what ever Your hand and Your purpose predestined to occur.

And now, Lord, take note of their threats,
and grant that your bond servants may speak Your word with all confidence,
while You extend Your hand
to heal, and signs and wonders take place
through the name of Your holy servant Jesus.

And when they had prayed,
the place where they had gathered together  
was shaken,
and they were all filled 
with the Holy Spirit
and began to speak
the word of God 
with boldness.  (Acts 4: 24-31)
