ETS ACADEMY · LESSON 4

Prayer

Teaching points

  • The ACTS pattern provides a simple way to organize prayer: adoration, confession, thanksgiving, and supplication. The purpose is relationship with God, not a polished performance.
  • Read the assigned pages in the original workbook. Use the Scripture references to examine the teaching before answering the reflection and knowledge check.

Read in Scripture

  • Matthew 6:5–13
  • Acts 12:1–17
  • Philippians 4:6–7

Reflect

  • Which part of prayer tends to be absent from your routine?
  • What does the passage teach, and what is one question you want to explore with a mentor?

Put it into practice

  • Write one brief prayer for each part of ACTS.
