The acrostic ACTS stands for Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. What would happen if each were removed from devotions? (For example, what would happen if adoration were removed from your prayers?)
-
If adoration was taken away, I would lack a sense of “awe” and genuine love in my prayers.
If confession was taken away, I would lack an awareness of my sin and my need for Jesus and consistent repentance,
If thanksgiving was taken away, I would lack remembrance of all that God has done in my life.
If supplication was taken away, I would not be giving God an opportunity to work in my life in a very tangible way and not be reminding myself that God is capable and able to meet our needs.
-
I would simply be asking God for things and forget the one I was coming to, who I was coming in the presence of. It would make me ungrateful and thankless.
-
You really can’t remove any part of acronym ACTS and really communicate completely with God. Each part has a large role to play in our communications
-
It would mean part of our commuication isn’t there. We would be missing a part of that communication. Each part is important to our daily walk and should be a part of our conversation with him.
-
If one of them were removed, I wouldn’t feel the satisfied as I was anymore because if adoration were to be removed I wouldn’t know the God who I am worshipping. They all are important to me because that is how I get closer to God.
