A.C.T.S.A Lesson In Prayer
In my Sunday School class recently, we were discussing prayer. My pastor mentioned that some people fear praying out loud in public because they feel like they do not know HOW to pray. So, he gave us an illustration to use if there is ever a time we do not know what or how to pray. It is A.C.T.S.
A. - adoration Tell God how much you love Him, acknowledge His Greatness, His might and power. C. - confession Bring your sins before Him. T. - thanksgiving There is so much to thank Him for. If you do not feel you can think of anything to thank Him for, thank Him for your life, for forgiving and loving you, etc. When you really think about it there is always much to thank Him for! S. - supplication Bring Him your needs. Don't feel as though you are bothering Him! He already knows all of your needs anyways, but He wants us to bring them to Him!  This has helped me so much, and I hope that you will benefit from it also. :)
