Praying Through Suffering & Storms

Prayer gives us a greater knowledge of God and ourselves and helps us to see both rightly. This week use A.C.T.S. (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication) to pray

• The “A” is for adoration. 
  
  • Take time to first adore God for who He is, “God, you are amazing, wonderful, holy, powerful, good, etc.” 
• Then move to the “C” for confession. 
  
  • In light of who God is, like Job, we should be humbled and confess our sin, weaknesses, and failures to God. 
• Next, because our sin has been paid for and forgiven by Jesus Christ, we should be thankful, that’s the “T”. 
  
  • Take time to thank God for all his blessings and for even the trials in your life. 
• Then end with the “S” is for supplication. 
  
  • Ask God to supply what you need, “Lord, please provide for me, pray for people in your life, etc.”
