Six Main Sections of the Journal
|
You might be familiar with the ACTS acronym for prayer which stands for Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication. For our journal, Conversation Starters with God (CSWG), we are using a similar approach—Praise, Repent, Give Thanks and Ask— with the addition of Seek and Receive. Since prayer is a two-way conversation, the Receive area is crucial. We need to receive His direction, leading, word and His love. And since seeking is foundational to prayer, it is important to also include the Seek Section. Click on the tabs below for information on each area. Seek Him, His Presence, and His Voice Seeking God is foundational to a successful prayer life. It’s an attitude. It is rejecting self-sufficiency and seeking God's direction and input. This section is more about the motivation for prayer rather than the actual prayer itself. I view it as the “warm up” that I need to keep reminding myself of the importance of seeking God and making our relationship a priority. An important point of the section is learning your spiritual pathway. To contribute a Bible selection for future "Seek" versions, please contribute via our "Share with Us" page. |
