ACTS method of Prayer

Be of sound judgment and sober spirit for the purpose of prayer. 1 Peter 4:7 NASB

A is for Adoration. Worship and adore God for His love, grace and forgiveness. Praise Him for His work in your marriage and family.

C is for Confession. Agree with God about any sin that needs to be confessed before you make requests for His help, clearing your heart to be pure minded in your petitions.

T is for Thanksgiving. Thank God for your spouse, your children, your job, your home - anything He brings to mind.

S is for Supplication. Ask Him for those things that are heavy on your heart - a child struggling at school, physical and spiritual needs in your family, financial trouble, etc. Don't worry about impressing Him with religious language. Remember that praying is both reverential and relational.
