“When the Lamb broke the fifth seal, I saw underneath the altar the souls of those who had been slain because of the word of God, and because of the testimony which they had maintained; and they cried out with a loud voice, saying, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, will You refrain from judging and avenging our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” And there was given to each of them a white robe; and they were told that they should rest for a little while longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brethren who were to be killed even as they had been, would be completed also.” Revelation to John (6:9-11)

Peter in Acts 2:17 is quoting the prophet Joel (Joel 2:28). Add verse 29 as well.

I like Romans 8:14-17, in part “...ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father...”

the purpose of prayer that promise God's outpouring

Prayer is not for asking something of God. God answered that over 2,000 years ago. Prayer is for thanking God for all his provisions.

I am of course speaking of believers in the gospel like born again Christians who receive the gospel, as intended.

Ephesians 1:15-23 For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, I do not cease to give thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers, that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and of revelation in the knowledge of him, having the eyes of your hearts enlightened, that you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power toward us who believe, according to the working of his great might that he worked in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the one to come.

And he put all things under his feet and gave him as head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all.

AMEN to all the SCRIPTURES. I have personally been been with this Scriptures, how I pray for an outcry to reach Heaven:

. . . how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? Luke 11:13
