Prayer Journal (ACTS)

•  Adoration - This week take time each day to praise God for His wisdom.
• Confession - God already knows about each sin but confess any as they come to your mind and ask Him to help you not sin that way again.
• Thanksgiving - Thank God that if you need wisdom all you need to do is ask Him for it (see James 1:5). Did He answer any of your prayer requests this week? Name them by name. Thanks Him also for any prayers that He has answered even if the answer was no because He knows what is best in each situation.
• Supplication - What are your prayer requests this week? List them for future reference so that you can see how God answers.

Search the Scriptures

Look for references for each of the following:

• Promises that God made and to whom He made them. Do they apply to you?
• References that either refer to or infer something about future events.
• What does this passage teach about Jesus?
• Commandments that God made and to whom He made them. Do they apply to you?

Putting the Word into Action

Perhaps you have a decision to make and you do not know how to proceed. Make it one of your prayer requests. After all, you should ask God for His advice before you ever mention it to anyone else. Then you might want to talk to a Godly person who will give you scriptural advice and will pray with you about it. I say “might” because the only Person that you MUST talk to about your decision is God. Anyone else is optional. And if the person you ask tells you something that contradicts the Bible it is not wise advice! God will never lead you to do something that contradicts His Word. NEVER!
