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.
