Acts 4:29 Context
27For of a trueth against thy holy child Iesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel were gathered together, 28For to doe whatsoeuer thy hand and thy counsell determined before to be done. 29And now Lord, behold their threatnings, and graunt vnto thy seruants, that with all boldnesse they may speake thy word, 30By stretching foorth thine hand to heale: and that signes and wonders may be done by the Name of thy holy child Iesus. 31¶ And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together, and they were all filled with the holy Ghost, and they spake the word of God with boldnesse.

People's Bible Notes for Acts 4:29
Ac 4:29,30 And now, Lord, . . . grant. Note their petition. They do not ask to be saved from pain, persecution, or death. There is nothing asked for themselves personally, but they ask (1) that they may have boldness, in the face of threats, to speak the word, and (2) that God would bear them witness by gifts of miraculous power. Their prayer is all for the work's sake.
