Prayer Activity

#1   A.C.T.S. The A stands for ADORATION . Take time at the beginning of your prayer to adore God--how special God is, how you love God, how you enjoy your friendship with God. Perhaps you will sing a song as a family to adore God.

#2 A.C.T.S. The C stands for CONFESSION . Your family can ask for God's forgiveness for wrong thoughts and behaviors.

#3 A.C.T.S. The T stands for THANKSGIVING , a time to show your gratitude by thanking God for all your blessings, both individual and family!

#4 A.C.T.S. The S stands for SUPPLICATION , a fancy word for humbly asking God to meet your needs and the needs of others.

#5 A.C.T.S.   Write "A.C.T.S" on a piece of paper and set it before your family. Now you can pray through each of the letters.

Always be joyful and never stop praying.
