HOW TO PRAY

📖 Matthew 6:9 “…Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.”

🫵 Make it practical with the ‘ACTS prayer’ activity on page 8 of our new workbook. 

 Prayer can be difficult, but it doesn’t have to be. A brilliant way of praying is the A-C-T-S method: 

• Start your prayer and ADORE Him. Praise Him for all He has done in your life and for His Greatness. 
• CONFESS your sins to Him and ask for forgiveness. Not just from God, but also the friends we hurt or betray.
• You might now be at a point of tears, but here comes an amasing part: THANKSGIVING. We can thank God for everything we receive from Him and for sending Jesus, our Saviour.
• Last but not least: SUPPLICATION. We can ask anything from God that glorifies Him, and He will give it to us.

📌 A-C-T-S is a tool, not a rule. Don’t worry, God will still hear your prayers if you skip a step! 

🙏 Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus, today I praise You for all the goodness You have given me. I lay my old sinner-self down at Your feet. Lord, I pray, please guide my feet today, seal my mouth, and guide my thoughts. Jesus, I pray this in Your mighty name. Amen. 

🔥 Challenge: Go out today, looking for the 4 A-C-T-S letters in your life. Write them on a piece of paper – even if it is only as big as a toffee wrapper.
