ACTS

Martin Luther

Always appreciate your thoughts and comments, Arvilla, thank you.
The acrostic is actually from Martin Luther and originally was a 50 page
response to his barber who asked the question, "How should I pray?"


When you pray, have scripture open and before you, then:


A - Adoration for the Trinity.
C - Confess when I am not found in the verse of Scripture being studied/ read.
T - Thanksgiving where I am found in the verse of Scripture being studied/read.
S - Supplication for self and others (with all humility).


Faith is a social practice, but one that requires prayerful solitude. My
devotions today suggested that I need first the "Sand Box" (solitude) to be
effective on the "Soap Box" (faith in the open world).  Thanks for
reinforcing this private time alone with God (TAWG).


Blessings.

Thanks, George for sharing and allowing me to post your thoughts and response.
You give us great reminders as to what our priorities should be.  I love TWAG--time
alone with God.  (fits right in with the Army's penchant for acronyms!)


God Bless.
