What is its motive?
The motive of this type of prayer is to present your personal needs, desires, and requests before God. It is to ask for His guidance, help, or provision (Philippians 4:6-7).
As it stands for S in the ACTS Prayer, it is obviously the last part (Cindi McMenamin, 2022, Crosswalk, “What is the ACTS Prayer Method and How Do You Pray It?”).
How should you do it?
a. Clearly articulate your requests to God.
b. Trust that He hears and answers prayers.
c. Acknowledge and surrender to His will.
Here’s an example.
"Lord, I come before You with a humble heart, laying my petitions at Your feet.
I earnestly seek Your guidance and strength in [your specific request(s)]. Please grant me wisdom, courage, and grace to navigate this/these challenge(s).
In a special way, I also pray for the needs of [name(s) of (a) specific person(s)] and ask for Your healing touch and provision in his/her/their lives.
Lord, please hear my supplications and grant them according to Your will. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen."
