November Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

November Explanation Station – St. John Nepomucene Adult Faith Formation

The ACTS Prayer Method

The acronym ACTS stands for adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication.  This model of prayer prioritizes our time with God so we first approach Him with reverence (adoration), then repent of the sin in our life (confession), then express our gratitude to Him for all He has done (thanksgiving), and finally submit to Him our requests (supplication). 

A great habit to incorporate into your daily prayer life.
