Prayer is a universal activity. Everyone does it. If given the right circumstance even the atheist prays. I want to encourage you to pray, pray often and pray to God, your Heavenly Father. Prayer is your way to connect with the one that made you. It’s your way to hear from the one that created you. God loves you and has your very best in mind. He loves it when you take time to be with Him. He is truly your Heavenly Father in the purest sense of the word. Regardless of the actions of your earthly father, God wants to protect you, provide for you and be a part of your life. There are four aspects to prayer. Using the word ACTS as an acrostic you will be sure to hit all four as you pray. A stands for Adoration. This is your time to tell God how much you love and appreciate Him. C stands for Confession. This gives you the opportunity to ask for forgiveness for anything that you have done that is contrary to His will. T stands for Thanksgiving. It is so powerful when you take time to express your heart of gratitude for everything that He has done for you. S stands for Supplication. This is your opportunity to bring your needs to God. Direction, provision, and wisdom come from God and He loves to pour them out on those who ask. Don’t let prayer intimidate you. Call out to God and He will hear you and answer your cry. Don’t wait another minute and don’t use another excuse. Dive in and seek Him. You will be amazed at how it will change your life.
