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?)
This acronym gives me focus and direction, an outline on how and what to pray in an order of importance. God first for who He is and me last, for He already knows my need.
Then it would be filled with myself and others, Filled with God and others and neglecting my sin, neglecting gratitude in light of all these things, consumed by myself and not thinking of others or needs
All of them carry with it a posture that I believe God wants us to have in prayer. One that is humble, wanting to learn, and have a Christ centered perspective on life. Willing to serve.
They are all beneficial to activate different aspects of our heart and connection with God. Removing a piece of it would limit your connection with God.
