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?)
-
We need each of these elements as part of our prayers to completely glorify, communicate and have a relationship with God
-
If any of the acrostics ACTS were removed from my prayers that would not honor Jesus . You would want your prayers to be answered.
-
If any of these are removed our relationship with God would not be the same. It necessary to apply the ACTS to our daily prayers.
-
Since all of these are required for a full relationship with Him, I’d say that that is what would suffer. Without any/all of these we would not have a close relationship with Him.
-
If Adoration were taken away, we would not be cognizant of how awesome God truly is, and fail in our response to His greatness by ADORING Him
If Confession were removed, then we would not receive His promise to forgive our sins, as it is only through confession can we receive His Gift of forgiveness
If Thanksgiving were taken away, then we would be ungrateful beings for all His wonderful blessings.
If Supplication were removed, how then can we tell our Father (who wants to hear from us) our needs, our hurts, our intercession on behalf of others?
