Acts 1:12-14 Then they returned to Jerusalem from the mount called Olivet, which is near Jerusalem, a Sabbath day's journey away. And when they had entered, they went up to the upper room, where they were staying, Peter and John and James and Andrew, Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew, James the son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot and Judas the son of James. All these with one accord were devoting themselves to prayer, together with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and his brothers.
In a sense, this was the first day on their new job for the apostles. They have been through training (3 years worth), and are waiting for their first assignment. Rather than sitting around drinking coffee and playing cards, what do they do? Their first order of business is to pray, and to get others praying with them. Not only do they know that it's not all about them, but the power of God, it is also not just about their prayers, but all those who follow Jesus. We need to be a praying team.
