Prayer

Mornin' Ladies! I'd like to share something with you that I picked up in a Bible study a while back. It has really transformed my prayer life, and I ran across it in a different book yesterday, and thought ya'll might enjoy it. It is ACTS for praying:

A- Adoration. When we bow our heads, the first words we utter should praise His holy name. How mighty and glorious He is.

C- Confession. After our praise and adoration, we should be thinking about our own sins. How have we messed up this time? We need to repent and wipe the slate clean. We need to ask for forgiveness on a daily basis. Ask for help each day so that you will be better prepared for the temptations coming your way.

T- Thanksgiving. You have been so blessed! Acknowledge the blessings God has bestowed upon you. Thank Him for the riches in your life.

S- Supplication. And finally we can lift up our petitions before God. Whether it be for a family member that is lost, praying for our own attitudes, praying for our children, asking for help with daily matters. He wants us to bring our worries to Him.

Love ya'll. Don't forget to pray!
