Week 1- Day 2

The Lord’s prayer is a great example and outline for prayer.  I have taught and used the ACTS model before.  I think the key is staying focused during times of prayer.  A lot of times we think that prayer has to be done with our eyes closed and quietly.  Personally, I have a had time staying on task that way.  I find it useful to pray with an outline or a list of prayer requests in front of me.  When I find my mind-wandering, I refer back to the list to stay focused.  Plus, I keep a pen/pencil handy because sometimes God will bring something to my mind that I need to write down.  Sometimes I am reminded of other prayer needs or sometimes I am reminded of Bible verses that are relevant to the situation.
