ACTS, the acronym (not the book of the Bible), is used to represent four main types of prayer. You can also incorporate ACTS in a single “complete” prayer. ACTS goes like this:
ADORATION Prayers
- Praise to God for who God is.
- Acknowledging God’s greatness and wisdom in creation.
CONFESSION Prayers
- We confess our state of sinfulness and brokenness.
- Admitting we have a need for God.
- We approach God in confession trusting in God’s mercy and forgiveness.
THANKSGIVING Prayers
- Thanking God for God’s favor on us, for life, bounty, and the gifts bestowed on us…
- We can be thankful even for the little things, like meeting a friend, or having a good day.
SUPPLICATION Prayers (or petition prayer/ cry for mercy)
- Making petitions or requests to God.
- Asking for God’s help and intervention.
- These are prayers for ourselves, others, and the world.
