A Simple Prayer Framework (ACTS)

Prayer is simply talking with God. If you're unsure where to begin, the ACTS framework offers a simple way to organize your thoughts as you respond to what you've read in Scripture.

A

Adoration

Begin by praising God for who He is.

  • "What attribute of God stood out in today's passage?"
  • "What can I praise Him for today?"
C

Confession

Confess any sin, attitudes, or areas where God has convicted your heart.

  • "Is there anything I need to surrender?"
  • "Where do I need God's forgiveness or help?"
T

Thanksgiving

Thank God for His goodness, His Word, and His faithfulness.

  • "What blessing can I thank God for today?"
  • "What truth from today's reading encourages me?"
S

Supplication

Bring your requests before God, praying for yourself and others.

  • "What do I need to entrust to God?"
  • "Who can I pray for today?"

Remember: Prayer isn't about finding the perfect words. It's about drawing near to the God who already knows your heart.
