The apostles said, "We will devote ourselves to prayer" (Acts 6:4) ... "devote ourselves" the unbending commitment of the apostles to preserve time for prayer. It means "to persist at" and "remain with." Acts 10:7 - the loyalty with which some soldiers served Cornelius. Strong and persistent and unwavering in one's assignment.
John Piper, Brothers, We Are Not Professionals pg. 61
