Then they returned to Jerusalem from the hill called the Mount of Olives, a Sabbath day's walk from the city. When they arrived, they went upstairs to the room where they were staying. Those present were Peter, John, James and Andrew; Philip and Thomas, Bartholomew and Matthew; James son of Alphaeus and Simon the Zealot, and Judas son of James. They all joined together constantly in prayer, along with the women and Mary the mother of Jesus, and with his brothers. Acts 1:12-14 NIV
Jesus had just been taken up into heaven. They had been told by Jesus to go back to Jerusalem and wait for a few days until God would baptize them with the Holy Spirit.
So, what do you do when things are happening that you don't understand? What do you do when events are happening around you but you are just waiting for the next step? The Apostles and those with them prayed. They had come a long way from the day when they asked Jesus to teach them to pray. They knew that staying in sync with God was vital.
What do you do when you don't know what to do? Jesus taught those close to him to pray.
