Today’s Verse:
"This, then, is how you should pray: "'Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name" Matthew 6:9
Prayer for Today :
Heavenly Father,
A faithful servant of yours, Nicky Gumbel, in his Alpha course, he is trying to teach us how to pray with ACTS.
A for Adoration
—just worshipping God, expressing our love, our praise to God.
C is for Confession
—asking forgiveness for the things that maybe we’ve done wrong and things that we need cleansing for.
T is for Thanksgiving
—thanking God for all his blessings, all the good things that he’s given us; maybe looking back through the day before and thanking him for answered prayer.
And then S is for Supplication
—which is asking for things for ourselves and for others.
Similar to the time when Jesus wanted to teach his disciples how to pray. The petitions are divided into six lines, with the first three relate more expressly honouring God and the last three more descriptive on our own concerns.
Father, using the Lord's prayer as our sample, teach us:
- To honour You each day,
- To ask for the daily bread and be dependent upon Divine Providence,
- To forgive others and be forgiven so that we can have our bodies and souls renewed, and
- To request for protection from evil.
"these I will bring to my holy mountain and give them joy in my house of prayer. Their burnt offerings and sacrifices will be accepted on my altar; for my house will be called a house of prayer for all nations.” Isaiah 56:7
In Christ's glorious Name we pray, Amen.
