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?)
-
Your devotional time wouldn’t be as fruitful or Christ centered
-
Without adoration our devo. would lack the awesome fear of God; His Omnipotence, Omnipresence, and His awesome personal provision.
He sees us and knows what’s best. -
I think then we would focus to much on ourselves than God.
Just to add really Loved comment by Jon Rector as I believe it sums up everything perfectly
-
Remove adoration and we remove an important aspect of worshipping God and reminding us of his character! Remove confession and we begin to take sin lightly. There is a priestly aspect of the work of Jesus taking our sin before the Father. Confession is our part of agreeing with Jesus of the seriousness of our sin and laying it before the Father. Remove thanksgiving and we allow pride to creep in. Thanksgiving reminds us how good God is and how He blesses us! Remove supplication and we may try to act in my own strength to get things done. Jesus WANTS us to ask.

You would loss the depth and well roundedness that comes with a rich prayer life. Each letter adds a different angle to your prayers.
