Did you pray for signs and wonders? No one is praying in that verse. It is a statement.
Acts 4
24 And when they heard that, they lifted up their voice to God with one accord, and said, Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven, and earth, and the sea, and all that in them is:
25 Who by the mouth of thy servant David hast said, Why did the heathen rage, and the people imagine vain things?
26 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers were gathered together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
27 For of a truth against thy holy child Jesus, whom thou hast anointed, both Herod, and Pontius Pilate, with the Gentiles, and the people of Israel, were gathered together,
28 For to do whatsoever thy hand and thy counsel determined before to be done.
29 And now, Lord, behold their threatenings: and grant unto thy servants, that with all boldness they may speak thy word,
30 By stretching forth thine hand to heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of thy holy child Jesus.
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 boldness.
Do you have a problem with praying to be filled by/with the Holy Spirit or seeking Jesus?
Where does Paul say to pray for signs and wonders? Oh wait. He doesn't.
Why does Paul have to say specifically to pray for something before we are allowed to pray for it? Your question is based on a faulty assumption.
Childish
โA wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them and departedโ Matthew 16:4
Look up the logical error of affirming the consequent. A wicked and adulterous generation drinks water. That is a true statement, but it doesn't mean that everyone who drinks water is wicked and adulterous. Nor does praying for signs and wonders make the apostles, or any believers who are neither wicked nor adulterous, into wicked or adulterous people.
