Helps to Prayer
"Pray continually; Give thanks in all circumstances,
for this is God's will for you in Christ Jesus"
1 Thessalonians 5:17-18
HELPS TO PRAYER
One of the most useful tools I have read on prayer is contained in the book “Prayer Changes Things” by Charles Allen.
It simple, effective and easy to remember. It’s ACTSS
No that’s not a misspelling, it stand for:-
Adoration
Confession
Thanksgiving
Supplication
Submission
You start your prayer with Adoration. Just praise God for who he is, for His creation and abounding goodness. Psalms are very good to use as prayers of adoration.
Next comes Confession. Not always an easy thing for us humans to do, but easier when you remember that God knows all about us anyway, and still loves us.
Next comes Thanksgiving. Thank Him for everything you have, for your families, friends, job, food, shelter etc.
Supplication, this is where you intercede for others. The prayer list on this web-site might be a useful tool for you.
Submission. This is the “S” that often gets forgotten. This is where we submit to Gods plan for our life. For being a part of God’s answers to prayer in the lives of others.
I hope that this will help you in your time of prayer.
