ACTS Method
Many believers have found the A.C.T.S. method for prayer helpful. This acronym is based on Jesus’ prayer in Matthew 6:9-13 and contains four pieces that are essential to prayer: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication.
‣ ADORATION
Praise God for who He is & what He has done.
‣ CONFESSION
Be honest before God about the sin in your life. Acknowledge the ways that you have sinned against God and others with your thoughts, words, and actions.
‣ THANKSGIVING
Thank God for what He has done in your life and in the lives of others.
‣ SUPPLICATION
Ask God for specific requests and trust that He will answer your requests according to His will, not our own.

Pro Tip
One of the most difficult prayers we make is for the person who has hurt us. Think of one person that you need to pray for who may have caused your pain. Allow God to change your heart and mind concerning this person in order to bring you peace out of a difficult relationship.
