First of all, then, I urge that supplications, prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people, for kings and all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life, godly and dignified in every way. This is good, and it is pleasing in the sight of God our Savior, who desires all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.(1 Timothy 2:1-4 ESV)
Though fourth on the list of things the believers in Acts 2 did, it was one that was primary. In fact, it's what they were doing when everything started - pray. Paul tells us that the first thing we need to do is pray - for ourselves and others. We need to pray that we will be who we should be, and that others without Christ will come to know Him. Pray is that one thing we should do first, that we most often fail to do.
