Bubba) we have nothing lets not hurry through
this part of the prayer.

Jesus Christ, Amen For Gods Glory in the name
of Jesus, Amen. Through Jesus Christ, our Lord,

Prayers from the Bible
Prayers for the Bible are not formulas, but they
give us a great guide. They are much more
powerful than bless Johnny or be with Betty
I pray that your love may abound more and more in
knowledge and depth of insight
I pray that out of his glorious riches he may
strengthen you with power through his Spirit in
your inner being, so that Christ may dwelling
your hearts through faith. And I pray that you,
being rooted and established in love, may be able
to comprehend with all the saints how wide and
long and high and deep is the love of Christ
which surpasses knowledge, that you may be filed
up to all the fullness of god.

A.C.T.S Prayer Acrostic
Leaders you may want to talk about this or
not. Adoration Praise God for who He
is Confession Confess your sins to
God Thanksgiving Thank God for what He has
done Supplication Ask God for whatever
present your requests to God
8
We are talking to the God of the Universe!!!!!
We should often be confessing our sins and our
sinfulness to God
Dont use different phrases as fillers (Lord,
Father, God are not the same as ummm)
It often helps to kneel
9
I find it helpful to pray out loud - even when
alone (focus)
Be specific - then youll see his answers and it
shows more faith
Praying well out loud comes from much praying
alone
Initiate Prayer
10
Learn to snatch up moments to pray with other
believers
As people pray - pray with them quietly
Prayer is only possible, heard, and answered with
a yes because of Gods grace not because of a
great prayer
11
Tears should baptize our place of supplication.
He who has never wept concerning his sins, has
never really prayed over his sins. E. M. Bounds
Some people think God does not like to be
troubled with our constant coming and asking.
The only way to trouble God is not to come at
all. - D.L. Moody
No man can pray - really pray - who does not
obey. E.M. Bounds
Only God can move mountains, but faith and prayer
move God. - E.M. Bounds
