ADORATION
We adore God and worship Him as we seek to fulfill the commandment to love him with all of our heart, mind and soul at all times.
Spend a few moments actively praising God for his beauty and wonderful nature. Useful texts, Pslam 26:8, Habakkuk 2:20, Psalm 33:8, Pslam 99:5
Example prayer at this stage: Dear Jesus, thank you for the gift of your wonderful love even at times of hardships. Amen
-
CONFESSION
We reflect in the areas of our life from past days, months or even years where we need God's Holy intervention of forgiveness.
Spend a few moments actively pointing those areas to God for his forgiveness. Useful texts, Pslam 25:11, Daniel 9:9, Pslam 19:12, Psalm 139: 23-24
Example prayer at this stage: Dear Lord, forgive me of my sins. Amen
-
THANKSGIVING
God is blessing us constantly. Every minute we can recall the wonderful things that God has done for us, and the gifts that we have been given.
Spend a few moments actively thanking those areas to God for his blessings. Useful texts, Pslam 118:24, James 1:17, 2 Corinthians 9:15, Hebrews 13:15
Example prayer at this stage: Dear Jesus, Thanks for all the little to big gifts you have provided. Amen
-
SUPPLICATION
Finally, we ask God for our needs and the needs of others. We call this supplication, of intercession with a wonderful hope that nothing is too small or too big for Jesus.
Spend a few moments actively asking God to intervene in all those areas where you need his activities to grow. Useful texts, Philippians 4:6, Romans 8:26
Example prayer at this stage: Dear Lord, forgive me of my sins. Amen
