ACTS

Have you ever felt like your prayers weren't "good" enough? Here are some helpful acronym ACTS, which helps guide us in our prayers:
A
Adoration
Praise and worship of God for who he is.
C
Confession
Confessing our sins and receiving his forgiveness.
T
Thanksgiving
Giving thanks for all God's blessings and answers to our prayers.
S
Supplication
Asking God for specific things. Petition is another word for this. When you ask God to meet someone else's needs, it is called intercession, the act of interceding.

Is the Lord's Prayer really a prayer? It has been said that it is a "sample" to help guide our way of praying? What do you think?
