"Men ought always to pray, and not to faint."
— Luke 18:1 (KJV)
The ACTS Framework
A simple, biblical structure for powerful prayer. Use ACTS to organize your prayers and cover all aspects of communication with God.
Adoration
Worshiping God for Who He Is
Adoration is pure worship—praising God for His character, not for what He does. It shifts your focus from yourself to Him.
Confession
Acknowledging Sin Before God
Confession is agreeing with God about your sin and asking for forgiveness. It restores fellowship and cleanses your conscience.
Thanksgiving
Expressing Gratitude to God
Thanksgiving is thanking God for what He has done. It cultivates a grateful heart and reminds you of His faithfulness.
Supplication
Making Requests to God
Supplication is asking God for your needs and the needs of others. It's prayer with specific requests, trusting God to answer.
