ACTS

ACTS is a basic outline/pattern of prayer. ACTS stands for:

A – Adoration

C – Confession

T – Thanksgiving

S – Supplication

A

Begin the prayer with adoration, or worship. Adoration reminds us of who God is and whom we are praying to. The ONE who is worthy of our adoration.

C

Then, deal with your sin specifically. And, ask for God’s forgiveness, and ask God to work on your sins. “If anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!” (2 Corinthians 5:17)

T

Not only feeling grateful, but express your thanks to God.

S

Finally, “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” (Philippians 4:6)
