Bible Study Idea #7

Prayer

Prayer is important to have during the time of Bible study. This can bring more understanding to what you are studying.

While you pray you must remember the book of ACTS (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication).

• Adoration - I start my prayers with "Lord you are gracious and full of compassion, slow to anger and of great mercy". This is from Psalms 145:8 (KJV). Just adore the Lord. He is the Alpha and the Omega, beautiful, our father, a friend, and a forgiving God.
• Confession - If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me, Psalms 66:18 (KJV) Confession is asking God to open your eyes and reveal you're wrong doing. Confession brings restoration and healing from the Holy Spirit.
• Thanksgiving - Give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people, 1 Chronicle 16:8 (KJV) Go ahead give all the thanks to God who created everything. Give thanks for another beautiful day and good health (including your fingers and toes - what would you do without them?)
• Supplication - Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your request be made known unto God, Philippians 4:6 (KJV). Here is where you ask God for your request, for your needs and others as they are important too.
