Prayer Resources
"Do not worry about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God."
Philippians 4:6
Sometimes it’s hard to know how to begin a prayer. The following template can be a helpful way to organize your thoughts. Don’t worry about choosing the “right” words to pray. The Holy Spirit will be present and He knows our hearts and needs better than we do. The important thing is to bring your requests to God.
A: Adoration
Begin time of prayer by reflecting on and praising God for who he is. Think of God’s great deeds, characteristics, and attributes.
C: Confession
Ask the Holy Spirit to show you areas of sin you need to confess to God. Once you confess and repent, God will remember your sins no more. (Hebrews 8:12)
T: Thanksgiving
Thank God for the blessings and good things God has done for you and your loved ones. This is a time to reflect on answered prayer and other ways you see God’s hand at work. God loves a grateful heart.
S: Supplication
Bring your requests for your family, church friends, neighbors, and yourself. Pray for our nation, our leaders, our world. May God be glorified.
