Prayer Ideas and Helps

Here's a simple formula to structure your prayers: A.C.T.S. Using this can help you remember all the things that should be included in your prayer life.

A - Adoration - praise God for who God is
C - Confession - own up to our sins
T - Thanksgiving - thank God for all God has done
S - Supplication - make requests for ourselves and others

The Five Fingers of Prayer

The Five Fingers of Prayer method starts by telling us "Your thumb is nearest to you, so begin your prayers by praying for those closest to you. They are the easiest to remember. To pray for our loved ones is, as C. S. Lewis once said, a 'sweet duty'". Then the poem goes on to list each finger and what types of people on our prayer list to include.
