Today is the day… Prime Day! Amazon is offering some of its biggest discounts and best prices of the year! With tens of thousands of deals available, I’ve narrowed them down to my top picks for you.

My Prime Day Focus Areas

For Prime Day, I focus on a few key areas:

  • Needs for the family
  • Upcoming birthdays
  • Frequently used products
  • Saved for later or wish list items

Birthday Shopping Made Easy

My daughter and son have birthdays between July and the start of Black Friday deals, so I take this opportunity to shop for their gifts. This way, I can avoid the holiday rush and ensure they get exactly what they want.

Stocking Up on Essentials

I also stock up on essentials like shampoos and face wash that I use year-round. During Prime Day, I often buy a 6-month or even a year’s supply of these products. This strategy saves me time and money in the long run.

Budget-Friendly Shopping

I appreciate that Amazon added July Prime Day. I find it easier to budget for these items during the Summer Prime Days compared to the November/December holiday sales. This is the perfect time to stock up on household essentials like garbage bags, cleaning supplies, and more at a discounted price.

My Favorite Prime Day Deals

I’ve put together a list of my favorite Amazon Prime Day highlights for you. Check them out!

  • Discernment: “For the word of God is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart.” – Hebrews 4:12
  • Friendship: “As iron sharpens iron, so one person sharpens another.” – Proverbs 27:17
  • Creativity: “For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.” – Ephesians 2:10
  • Strength: “I can do all this through him who gives me strength.” – Philippians 4:13

Six Bible Verses are on a page. Kids can color the scripture cards and keep them in their paper backpack equipping them with the word of God.

Explore the inspiring stories of faith in Hebrews 11 with these fun and educational crafts for kids. Help children learn about biblical characters and their unwavering trust in God.

heroes of faith explained hebrews 11 crafts and lessons

Teaching children about the heroes of faith from Hebrews 11 can be a deeply rewarding experience. These stories provide timeless lessons on faith, perseverance, and trust in God, helping young learners connect with important biblical figures and their inspiring journeys. By sharing these narratives, you can bring the Hall of Faith to life and encourage children to see themselves as part of God’s ongoing story.

What is the Hall of Faith?

The “Hall of Faith,” found in Hebrews 11, is a celebrated passage in the New Testament that highlights numerous individuals from the Old Testament who demonstrated extraordinary faith in God. This chapter serves as an inspirational reminder of the power and importance of faith, showcasing a diverse group of people who trusted God in various challenging circumstances.

hebrews 11 hall of faith explained

Biblical Background

The Book of Hebrews is a letter traditionally attributed to the Apostle Paul, although the exact authorship remains uncertain. The letter was written to Jewish Christians who were facing persecution and struggling to hold onto their faith. The purpose of Hebrews is to encourage these believers to persevere, highlighting the greatness of Christ and the importance of faith.

Before we are introduced to Hebrews 11, the author of Hebrews emphasizes the greatness of Jesus Christ, who is greater than angels, Moses, and any earthly priest. Hebrews 10 ends with a call to perseverance in the face of suffering, urging believers to remember their early days of faith and to continue in endurance and faithfulness.

Hebrews 11:1-40 (ESV)

By Faith

1Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. 2 For by it the people of old received their commendation. 3 By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.

4 By faith Abel offered to God a more acceptable sacrifice than Cain, through which he was commended as righteous, God commending him by accepting his gifts. And through his faith, though he died, he still speaks. 5 By faith Enoch was taken up so that he should not see death, and he was not found, because God had taken him. Now before he was taken he was commended as having pleased God. 6 And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. 7 By faith Noah, being warned by God concerning events as yet unseen, in reverent fear constructed an ark for the saving of his household. By this he condemned the world and became an heir of the righteousness that comes by faith.

8 By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place that he was to receive as an inheritance. And he went out, not knowing where he was going. 9 By faith he went to live in the land of promise, as in a foreign land, living in tents with Isaac and Jacob, heirs with him of the same promise. 10 For he was looking forward to the city that has foundations, whose designer and builder is God. 11 By faith Sarah herself received power to conceive, even when she was past the age, since she considered him faithful who had promised. 12 Therefore from one man, and him as good as dead, were born descendants as many as the stars of heaven and as many as the innumerable grains of sand by the seashore.

13 These all died in faith, not having received the things promised, but having seen them and greeted them from afar, and having acknowledged that they were strangers and exiles on the earth. 14 For people who speak thus make it clear that they are seeking a homeland. 15 If they had been thinking of that land from which they had gone out, they would have had opportunity to return. 16 But as it is, they desire a better country, that is, a heavenly one. Therefore God is not ashamed to be called their God, for he has prepared for them a city.

17 By faith Abraham, when he was tested, offered up Isaac, and he who had received the promises was in the act of offering up his only son, 18 of whom it was said, “Through Isaac shall your offspring be named.” 19 He considered that God was able even to raise him from the dead, from which, figuratively speaking, he did receive him back. 20 By faith Isaac invoked future blessings on Jacob and Esau. 21 By faith Jacob, when dying, blessed each of the sons of Joseph, bowing in worship over the head of his staff. 22 By faith Joseph, at the end of his life, made mention of the exodus of the Israelites and gave directions concerning his bones.

23 By faith Moses, when he was born, was hidden for three months by his parents, because they saw that the child was beautiful, and they were not afraid of the king’s edict. 24 By faith Moses, when he was grown up, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter, 25 choosing rather to be mistreated with the people of God than to enjoy the fleeting pleasures of sin. 26 He considered the reproach of Christ greater wealth than the treasures of Egypt, for he was looking to the reward. 27 By faith he left Egypt, not being afraid of the anger of the king, for he endured as seeing him who is invisible. 28 By faith he kept the Passover and sprinkled the blood, so that the Destroyer of the firstborn might not touch them.

29 By faith the people crossed the Red Sea as on dry land, but the Egyptians, when they attempted to do the same, were drowned. 30 By faith the walls of Jericho fell down after they had been encircled for seven days. 31 By faith Rahab the prostitute did not perish with those who were disobedient, because she had given a friendly welcome to the spies.

32 And what more shall I say? For time would fail me to tell of Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, of David and Samuel and the prophets— 33 who through faith conquered kingdoms, enforced justice, obtained promises, stopped the mouths of lions, 34 quenched the power of fire, escaped the edge of the sword, were made strong out of weakness, became mighty in war, put foreign armies to flight. 35 Women received back their dead by resurrection. Some were tortured, refusing to accept release, so that they might rise again to a better life. 36 Others suffered mocking and flogging, and even chains and imprisonment. 37 They were stoned, they were sawn in two, they were killed with the sword. They went about in skins of sheep and goats, destitute, afflicted, mistreated— 38 of whom the world was not worthy—wandering about in deserts and mountains, and in dens and caves of the earth.

39 And all these, though commended through their faith, did not receive what was promised, 40 since God had provided something better for us, that apart from us they should not be made perfect.

Who’s in the Hebrews 11 Hall of Faith?

Hebrews 11 highlights several notable figures from the Old Testament, each celebrated for their unwavering faith.

hebrews 11 hall of faith list of people

Hall of Faith List:

  • Abel: Offered a better sacrifice than Cain.
  • Enoch: Taken up to heaven without dying because he pleased God.
  • Noah: Built an ark to save his family from the flood.
  • Abraham: Obeyed God’s call to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance and was willing to sacrifice his son Isaac.
  • Sarah: Received the ability to conceive a child in her old age.
  • Isaac: Blessed Jacob and Esau concerning their future.
  • Jacob: Blessed each of Joseph’s sons.
  • Joseph: Spoke about the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt and gave instructions about his bones.
  • Moses: Led the Israelites out of Egypt and kept the Passover.
  • Rahab: The prostitute who welcomed the spies and was not killed when the wall of Jericho fell.

In addition to these Hall of Fame members, the chapter also briefly mentions other heroes of faith, including Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel, and the Prophets. Gideon led a small army to victory against the Midianites with God’s guidance. Barak, with the prophetess Deborah, defeated the Canaanite army. Samson, known for his incredible strength, delivered Israel from the Philistines. Jephthah, despite his difficult past, led Israel to victory over the Ammonites. David, the shepherd boy who became king, is celebrated for his heart after God and his defeat of Goliath. Samuel, the last judge and a prophet, anointed the first two kings of Israel and was dedicated to God’s service from a young age.

The chapter also references groups and events that showed great faith. The Israelites crossed the Red Sea on dry land, demonstrating their trust in God’s deliverance from Egypt. The walls of Jericho fell after the Israelites marched around them for seven days, showing their obedience and faith in God’s unusual battle plan.

Additionally, Hebrews 11 honors women who received back their dead by resurrection, as well as many others who endured persecution, torture, imprisonment, and even death, refusing to renounce their faith because they looked forward to a better resurrection. These stories of endurance and steadfast faith highlight the remarkable ways in which God’s people have trusted Him throughout history, even in the face of immense challenges and suffering.

Teaching the Book of Job to Kids has never been easier. Enjoy these engaging Sunday School Lessons and Creative Crafts for the timeless story of Job! These activities will help them understand the themes of faith, perseverance, and trust in God from the Old Testament.

cute book of job crafts for kids

Teaching the Book of Job to kids might seem daunting at first. The story is complex and deals with deep themes of suffering, faith, and perseverance. However, with the right approach, it can be incredibly enriching and relatable for children of all ages. From preschoolers to preteens, kids can learn valuable lessons about trusting God, even during tough times. In this blog post, we’ll explore various Sunday school lesson ideas and incorporate some creative crafts to make learning about Job both fun and memorable.

Introduction to Job

Start with an introduction to Job. Explain that Job was a man who loved God and was very blessed, but he went through a lot of difficult times. Despite his suffering, Job never lost his faith in God. This sets the stage for kids to understand that the Bible story of Job is about more than just his trials—it’s about faith and trust in God and the growth that can take place in times of suffering.

A Short Story About the Life of Job

Job lived in the land of Uz and was known as a righteous and upright man. He had a large family, with seven sons and three daughters, and was very wealthy. Job owned thousands of sheep, camels, and other livestock. He also had many servants who worked for him. Job was truly blessed and always thanked God for his blessings.

One day, Satan came to God and said that Job was only faithful because of his wealth and good fortune. To test Job’s faith, God allowed Satan to take away all of Job’s blessings. In a single day, Job lost his livestock to raiders, his servants were killed, and a great wind destroyed the house where all of Job’s children were gathered, killing them all. It was a very bad day for Job, but he did not blame God.

Next, Satan afflicted Job with painful boils and sores all over his body. Even in his immense suffering, Job remained faithful. His wife told him to “curse God and die,” but Job responded that they should accept both good and trouble from God.

Job had three friends—Eliphaz, Bildad, and Zophar—who came to comfort him. They believed that Job must have sinned to deserve such suffering and urged him to repent. However, Job maintained his innocence and continued to trust in God. A young man named Elihu also spoke to Job, suggesting that his suffering was meant for his growth.

In the end, God spoke to Job out of a whirlwind, reminding him of His power and wisdom. Job acknowledged God’s greatness and his own limited understanding. Because of Job’s faithfulness, God restored his fortunes, giving him twice as much as he had before. Job lived a long, blessed life, knowing that God is good all the time, even in the midst of suffering.

Scripture Reference: Job 1:1 – 42:17

The Color Gospel transforms the message of salvation into a vivid, engaging experience for children. Through colorful crafts and Bible verses, the Gospel of Salvation in colors approach makes learning about faith fun and memorable.

the salvation colors for kids

“The Color Gospel for Kids” offers a vivid journey into the teachings of the gospel of salvation, tailored specifically for young learners. This educational approach blends a palette of meaningful colors with essential Bible verses and engaging crafts, presenting the foundational truths of Christianity in a manner that is both accessible and engaging for children. Utilized in homes, Sunday schools, or during vacation Bible school sessions, these methods not only make learning about Jesus Christ’s love and sacrifice fun but also ensure that the message is memorable. The article explores how these colorful tools can help illuminate the gospel story for the next generation.

What is the Gospel Message?

The gospel message is the core of Christian belief, centered around the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. It promises redemption and eternal life to all who believe and accept Jesus as their Savior. This message is rooted in the love and mercy of God, offering hope and a new beginning to believers.

What are Important Bible Verses for Sharing the Gospel Story?

Sharing the gospel story can be supported by numerous Bible verses that highlight the fundamental truths. Some of these include:

  • Romans 3:23 “For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.”
  • Romans 5:8 “But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us.”
  • John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.”
  • Ephesians 2:8-9 “For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast.”
  • Acts 16:31 “Believe in the Lord Jesus, and you will be saved.”
  • Romans 10:9: “If you declare with your mouth, ‘Jesus is Lord,’ and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved.”
  • John 14:3 “I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.”

These scritpures lay the foundation for understanding the Gospel Message and good news of our salvation.

What are the Colors of Salvation?

The first foundation was jasper, the second sapphire, the third agate, the fourth emerald, the fifth onyx, the sixth ruby, the seventh chrysolite, the eighth beryl, the ninth topaz, the tenth turquoise, the eleventh jacinth, and the twelfth amethyst. The twelve gates were twelve pearls, each gate made of a single pearl. The great street of the city was of gold, as pure as transparent glass.”

  • Green:
    • 2 Corinthians 5:17 – “Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!”

Introduce your kids to the miracles of Jesus with these engaging and interactive activities. From walking on water to feeding the 5,000, these fun lessons will teach kids important lessons about faith, compassion, and the power of God.

miracles of Jesus for Kids crafts and lessons

Many children grow up hearing stories about the miracles of Jesus. These stories are often used to teach important lessons about faith, compassion, and forgiveness. Jesus is an important part of Christian tradition and continues to inspire believers of all ages.

One of the most well-known miracles of Jesus is the feeding of the 5000. According to the Bible, Jesus was preaching to a large crowd of people when he realized they were hungry. He took five loaves of bread and two fish and miraculously multiplied them to feed the entire crowd. This story teaches children about the power of faith and the importance of sharing with others.

Another miracle of Jesus that is often popular with children is the healing of the blind man. In this story, Jesus encounters a man who has been blind from birth. He spits on the ground, makes mud with the saliva, and puts it on the man’s eyes. The man then washes his eyes and can see for the first time. This miracle teaches children about the power of Jesus to heal and the importance of having faith in God’s ability to work miracles.

Let’s first take a look at who is Jesus.

Who is Jesus?

Jesus is the central figure of Christianity. He is the son of God and the savior of the world. According to the Bible, Jesus was born in Bethlehem to Mary and Joseph. He grew up in Nazareth and began his public ministry at the age of 30.

Jesus traveled throughout the region, preaching and performing miracles. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, and even raised the dead. His teachings were centered on love, forgiveness, and compassion for others.

Jesus’ message was so powerful that he attracted a large following. However, his teachings also made him enemies among the religious leaders of his time. He was ultimately arrested, tried, and sentenced to death by crucifixion.

Despite his death, Jesus’ followers continued to spread his message and teachings. They believed that he had risen from the dead and that his resurrection was a sign of his divinity. This belief became the foundation of the Christian faith.

Today, Jesus is revered by Christians all over the world. His teachings continue to inspire people to live a life of love, kindness, compassion, and the power of God.

The Miracles of Jesus

Nestled within the pages of the New Testament, amid its rich teachings and captivating stories, is a treasure trove of miracles — 37 incredible moments that shine a light on the divinity of Jesus Christ.

Spread across the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, these miracles are like beacons guiding us toward deeper faith and understanding. Whether it’s healing the sick or calming raging storms, each miracle is a reminder of the amazing things that can happen when faith meets the power of the divine.

The miracles of Jesus aren’t just ancient stories; they’re packed with lessons that still hit home today. Think about it: Jesus healing the sick, feeding thousands with just a few loaves and fish, even walking on water! These miracles teach us about compassion, faith, and the power of believing in something bigger than ourselves. They show us that even when life gets tough, there’s always hope and help available Through the miracles of Jesus, we can learn many lessons that can help us in our daily lives.

Here are a few of them:

1. Have faith in God

Jesus performed many miracles because he had faith in God. He trusted that God would help him, and he prayed regularly. We too can have faith in God and trust that he will help us in our times of need.

2. Be compassionate

Jesus showed compassion to those who were sick, hungry, or in need. He healed the sick, fed the hungry, and comforted the grieving. We too can be compassionate and help those who are in need.

3. Believe in the impossible

Jesus performed miracles that seemed impossible, like walking on water and calming the storm. We too can believe in the impossible and have hope that anything is possible with God.

how to pray the acts prayer method plus printable worksheets

Embarking on a spiritual journey often involves finding ways to deepen our connection with God, and the ACTS Prayer Method stands out as a powerful tool in this quest. Modeled after the Lord’s Prayer, the ACTS acronym delineates a comprehensive structure for prayer, encapsulating four key parts: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. This method of praying not only guides believers in their prayer life but also mirrors the holistic approach Jesus Himself taught His disciples in followers in the books of Luke and Matthew. By breaking prayer into these four pivotal components, individuals can experience a balanced and profound dialogue with God, ensuring that every aspect of their relationship with the Father is nurtured and developed.

Adoration in prayer sets the foundation by focusing our hearts on God’s infinite greatness and love, encouraging us to start our prayers with reverence and worship. Confession follows, inviting us to humbly acknowledge our sins and seek God’s forgiveness, thus cleansing our hearts and renewing our spirits. Thanksgiving shifts our attention to gratitude, prompting us to reflect on God’s endless blessings and express our heartfelt appreciation. Finally, Supplication allows us to present our requests and desires to God, relying on His wisdom and provision to meet our needs and those of others.

In addition to exploring these A.C.T.S. prayer parts, we also highlight engaging and printable resources designed to make the ACTS Prayer Method more accessible and engaging for both adults and children. These resources, including the ACTS Prayer Worksheet, the ACTS Prayer Coloring Wheel for Kids, and the ACTS Prayer Templates, serve as creative tools for individuals and groups to incorporate this meaningful prayer practice into their daily routines. Whether used in a classroom, children’s church, Sunday School, or family devotionals, these printable aids offer a dynamic way to explore and deepen one’s prayer life, ensuring that the timeless practice of meditation continues to enrich and guide us in our spiritual journeys.

Parts of Acts Prayer for Christians

ACTS Prayer, also known as the ACTS model, is a way of structuring prayer that can help individuals connect with God in a meaningful way. The ACTS model consists of four parts of Christian prayer: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. Each part of the prayer serves a specific purpose and can help individuals deepen their relationship with God.

Adoration

Adoration Part of Acts Prayer

Adoration, the first component of the ACTS Prayer Method, centers on offering praise to God, recognizing His supreme nature and divine qualities. It’s a prayerful expression of worship and reverence, aimed at acknowledging many God’s attributes. This form of prayer encourages individuals to shift their focus from personal concerns to the grandeur and sovereignty of God.

Adoration is the aspect of prayer where we focus on praising God, acknowledging His greatness and the glory of His character. It’s about recognizing God for who He is, beyond just what He does for us. Adoration prayer enriches our understanding of the names of God and fosters a deeper relationship with Him. Here are key points about adoration in prayer:

  • Purpose: Adoration is dedicated to expressing reverence and worship towards God, highlighting the Attributes of God.
  • Expression: This can be achieved through various forms, including singing hymns, reciting scripture that praises God, or verbalizing admiration directly to God.
  • Focus Shift: Engaging in adoration takes the focus off ourselves and places it on the magnificence and majesty of praising God.
  • Scriptural Basis: Psalm 48:1 serves as a guiding principle: “Great is the Lord, and most worthy of praise,” emphasizing the importance of praising God.

To begin your prayer with adoration, consider using these starting points:

  • Praising God’s Nature: Start by acknowledging God’s attributes or many names, referring to Him with reverent titles like “Jehovah,” “The Most High,” “King of Kings,” or “Holy God.”
  • Ideas for Opening Lines:
    • “I praise You for… (Your unfailing love and righteousness.)”
    • “God, You are… (infinite in wisdom, power, and love.)”
    • “Hallow be thy name.”

This structured approach to adoration helps believers center their minds and hearts on God’s glorious presence, setting a reverent tone for the rest of their prayer time.

Let’s praise God for his amazing attributes.

Confession

Confession Part of Acts Prayer

Confession stands as a fundamental component of prayer, where individuals come before God to admit their wrongdoings and seek His forgiveness. This act of humility opens the door to spiritual cleansing and renewal, allowing believers to embrace God’s grace fully and obtain mercy (Proverbs 28:13). Here’s a deeper look into confession within prayer:

  • Purpose: The act of confession is designed to cultivate humility and a thankful heart, acknowledging our need for God’s grace and forgiveness.
  • Expression: Confession prayers can be personal and intimate, carried out through silent reflection, written words, or verbal communication with God, where one openly admits their transgressions.
  • Self-Reflection: It serves as a moment for sincere self-examination and recognition of our sins, leading us to a path of repentance and spiritual growth.
  • Scriptural Basis Bible Verse: 1 John 1:9 underscores the power of confession: “If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.” highlighting God’s readiness to forgive.

To initiate a prayer of confession, consider these guidelines:

  • Acknowledging Sins: Begin by honestly reflecting on your actions and attitudes that have fallen short of God’s standards.
  • Ideas for Opening Lines:
    • “God, I’m sorry for… (the times I’ve failed to love others as You have loved me.)”
    • “Father, forgive me for… (not trusting in Your promises and relying on my own strength.)”
    • “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.”

Praying confession is not just about acknowledging sin but also about receiving God’s forgiveness and moving forward with a renewed heart and mind, committed to living a life that reflects His love, mercy, and righteousness and recognizing the sacrifice of Jesus for our sins.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving Part of Acts Prayer

Thanksgiving in prayer is an expression of gratitude towards God, recognizing and appreciating His countless blessings, provisions, and unwavering faithfulness in our lives. This aspect of prayer enriches our relationship with God by fostering an attitude of gratitude and enabling us to see His hand in every facet of our existence. Below are key insights into incorporating thanksgiving into your prayer life:

  • Purpose: The primary aim of thanksgiving is to cultivate a heart full of gratitude towards God, acknowledging His goodness and mercy in both the grand and simple aspects of our lives. Focusing on Thanksgiving will create internal joy.
  • Expression: This gratitude prayer can be expressed in various ways, such as listing specific blessings, offering a heartfelt prayer, or singing songs that celebrate God’s generosity and love.
  • Recognition of God’s Goodness: It’s a time to reflect on and acknowledge the many ways God has manifested His love and provision, from the most significant miracles to the smallest gestures of care and blessings.
  • Scriptural Basis Bible Verse: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 encourages believers to “ Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you,” reminding us of the importance of gratitude in every situation.

To start a prayer of thanksgiving, here are some suggestions:

  • Acknowledging Blessings: Take a moment to reflect on the specific ways God has blessed you, guiding you through challenges, providing for your needs, and blessing you with unexpected provisions.
  • Ideas for Opening Lines:
    • “Thank you, God, for … (Your endless love and for the peace You bring to my heart.)”
    • “Thank you for… (Your provision, especially in times when I saw no way forward.)”

White Thanksgiving is not explicitly mentioned in the Lord’s Prayer, it can be implied in the petition: “Give us this day our daily bread”

Engaging in thanksgiving not only honors God but also shifts our perspective, allowing us to see the abundance of our blessings and encouraging a positive outlook, regardless of our circumstances. Thank God for his good gifts.

Supplication

supplication Part of Acts Prayer

Supplication is the aspect of prayer where we bring our requests, needs, desires, and concerns before God, relying on His strength and provision. In Matthew 6:11, the Lord taught us to request our “daily bread.” We are instructed in Ephesians 6:18 “to pray at all times in the Holy Spirit, with all prayer and supplication.” Supplication emphasizes our dependence on God and trust in His ability to guide, provide for, and protect us. This prayer of supplication is a powerful way to deepen one’s faith and reliance on God’s sovereignty. Here’s how supplication fits into the broader context of prayer:

  • Purpose: Supplication prayer aims to cultivate a spirit of dependence on God, encouraging believers to turn to Him for every need and desire, thereby strengthening their faith and trust in His provision.
  • Expression: Requests can be made through written or spoken words, or even in the silence of one’s heart, knowing that God hears every petition.
  • Focus on God: While presenting our needs, it’s essential to remember that the focus remains on God and His will for our lives, ensuring that our requests align with the Lord’s grand plan.
  • Scriptural Basis Bible Verse: “Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 4:6-7 serves as a foundation for the petition prayer, advising us not to be anxious but to present our requests to God with thanksgiving.

To engage in supplication effectively, consider these steps:

  • Presenting Requests: Approach God with a humble heart, openly sharing your needs, desires, and concerns, trusting in His perfect wisdom and timing.
  • Ideas for Opening Lines:
    • “Jesus, please… ( provide guidance in my current situation, and give me wisdom to make the right decisions.)”
    • “Father, I ask for… (Your healing touch upon those who are sick and suffering, and for Your comfort to those in distress.)”
    • “Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.”

God’s prayer of supplication not only involves asking our Father for our personal needs but also interceding on behalf of others, demonstrating a heart aligned with our creator’s love for His people. It reinforces our relationship with the Almighty, acknowledging Him as the source of all help and provision.

Practical Guide to Acts Prayer

Preparing the Heart

Acts Prayer is a powerful way to connect with God, but it requires a heart that is open and receptive to His leading. Before beginning a prayer session, it’s important to take a few moments to prepare your heart. This can involve confessing any sins or distractions that may be weighing on your mind, and asking God to help you focus on Him during your prayer time.

It’s also helpful to have a clear intention for your prayer session. This could involve praying for a specific need or situation, or simply seeking a deeper relationship with God. Whatever your intention, make sure to focus your mind and heart on it as you begin your prayer time.

Structuring Prayer Time

One of the key elements of Acts Prayer is structure. This involves dividing your prayer time into four distinct parts: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. Each part is designed to help you connect with God in a specific way, and to guide you through a meaningful prayer experience.

During the Adoration phase, focus on praising God for who He is and what He has done. This can involve reciting specific verses or hymns, or simply speaking from your heart about God’s goodness and love.

In the Confession phase, take time to confess any sins or areas of weakness in your life. This is a time to be honest with God about your struggles, and to ask for His forgiveness and guidance.

During the Thanksgiving phase, focus on expressing gratitude for the blessings in your life. This can involve thanking God for specific people, situations, or experiences, or simply acknowledging His goodness and provision in your life.

Finally, during the Supplication phase, bring your requests and needs before God. This can involve praying for yourself, your loved ones, or the world around you. Whatever your requests, make sure to approach God with humility and a willingness to trust in His perfect will.

Overcoming Distractions

Distractions are a common challenge in any prayer session, but they can be especially difficult during Acts Prayer. To help overcome distractions, it’s important to find a quiet, distraction-free environment for your prayer time. This can involve finding a secluded spot in your home or church, or simply turning off your phone and other electronic devices.

It’s also helpful to have a specific plan for dealing with distractions when they arise. This could involve taking a few deep breaths, reciting a specific verse or prayer, or simply refocusing your mind on your intention for the prayer session.

By following these practical tips, you can experience the power and beauty of Acts Prayer in your own life. With a heart that is open and receptive to God’s leading, and a structured approach to your prayer time, you can deepen your relationship with God and experience His love and grace in new and meaningful ways.
