When we are just starting to take time for prayer it can be hard to find a pattern that "fits". We think there has to be a set of rules somewhere that spells out how to pray. Really there isn't one right way for every day or for every person or for you as an individual on a given day. Sometimes we feel thankful and on others we know our sinfulness. We may be lost in love for God or have many needs to bring before the Throne. There are days when all we can do is sit and say "Why?", too.
There is, however, an acronym that can help us remember the basics kinds of prayers. It is ACTS. As women of God we are called to Adore our Lord, Confess our shortcomings, give Thanks in all things, and offer Supplication for our needs and for others. These four items can be done in a variety of ways that we'll explore here over the next few weeks.
