Prayer Plan #RTTBROS #Nightlight \n\nPrayer Plan\n\n"And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;" - Luke 18:1 (KJV)\n\nIn Luke 18:1, Jesus emphasizes the importance of persistent prayer. He wants us to understand that prayer should be a constant part of our lives, not just something we do when we're in trouble or need something. But how do we pray effectively? Let's explore two helpful methods: the ACTS outline and the Hand of Prayer illustration.\n\nThe ACTS Prayer Outline\n\n1. A. Adoration: Begin your prayer by praising God for who He is. Acknowledge His greatness, love, and power.\n2. C. Confession: Admit your sins and shortcomings to God. Ask for His forgiveness and cleansing.\n3. T. Thanksgiving: Express gratitude for God's blessings, both big and small, in your life.\n4. S Supplication: Present your requests to God, for yourself and others.\n\nThis outline helps us structure our prayers and ensures we cover all aspects of communication with God.\n\nThe Hand of Prayer Illustration\n\nChild Evangelism Fellowship uses a simple hand illustration to teach children (and adults!) how to pray:\n\n1. Thumb: Closest to your heart, pray for those closest to you (family, friends).\n2. Index finger: Pray for those who point the way (teachers, pastors, mentors).\n3. Middle finger: The tallest finger, pray for leaders (government, church leaders).\n4. Ring finger: The weakest finger, pray for those who are weak, in trouble, or in pain.\n5. Little finger: The smallest finger, pray for yourself and your own needs.\n\nThis visual aid reminds us to pray for various aspects of our lives and the lives of others.\n\nAs we reflect on Luke 18:1 and these prayer methods, let's commit to developing a consistent prayer life. Remember, prayer is not about perfect words or lengthy sessions. It's about maintaining a continuous conversation with God, bringing every aspect of our lives before Him.\n\nChallenge yourself to use both the ACTS outline and the Hand of Prayer illustration in your daily prayers this week. Notice how these methods enrich your prayer life and deepen your relationship with God.\n\nRemember, Jesus encourages us to "always pray, and not to faint." Let's take His words to heart and make prayer an integral part of our daily walk with Him.\n\nBe sure to Like, Share, Follow and subscribe it helps get the word out.\nhttps://linktr.ee/rttbros
