A C T S M E T H O D
Many believers have found the A.C.T.S. method for prayer helpful. This acronym is based on Jesus’ prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 and contains 4 pieces that are essential to prayer: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication.
> ADORATION
Praise God for who He is & what He has done.
> CONFESSION
Be honest before God about the sin in your life. Acknowledge the ways that you have sinned against God and others with your thoughts, words, and actions.
> THANKSGIVING
Thank God for what He has done in your life and in the lives of others.
> SUPPLICATION
Ask God for specific requests and trust that He will answer your requests according to His will, not our own.

P R A Y E R S P O T L I G H T
Each day we want our church to come together and lift up specific requests to God:
- For all those involved in foster care. The kids, the families, and the agencies
- For all those who have been negatively affected by the snow / cold
- For all those who are battling cancer, their loved ones, and their medical teams
- For unity in our country
- For the ongoing conflict in Russia and Ukraine
P R O T I P
- Memorize Isaiah 41:10: “Do not fear, for I am with you; do not be afraid, for I am your God. I will strengthen you; I will help you; I will hold on to you with my righteous right hand”
- Memorizing God’s word is one of the best ways in which to grow our prayer life. When we hide God’s word in our heart, we are enabled to adore Him and express gratitude.
