ACTS

Praying through the elements of a worship service= A.C.T.S.

A-Adoration
If God were oneof your aquaintences, what compliments could you pay Him? What's cool about God? What 7 things does God deserve in Revelation 7:12?

C-Confession
What is standing between you and your relationship[ with God?
Psalm 139:23-24


T-Thanksgiving
What has God done for you, through you, or given you lately- for which you need to give Him credit?
Psalm 136:1-3


S-Supplication
Okay, let's pray- but remember J.O.Y. (Jesus, Others, then Yourself)
Why not follow this "HANDY" (see photo) outline?
Matthew 7:7

Confession

Here is the 'C' in A.C.T.S.
I may be Lutheran, but I find Roman Catholic rituals fascinating.

Here is (minus the Mary and the Saint's stuff) the Latin prayer of confession:

Confiteor Deo Omnipotenti
Quia peccavi nimis
Cogitatione,
verbo
Et opere
Mea culpa
Mea culpa
Mea maxima culpa

I confess to God Almighty
That I have sinned
In thought,
in word
And in deed
Through my own fault
Through my own fault
Through my own grievous fault
