The acrostic ACTS stands for Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, and Supplication. What would happen if each were removed from devotions? (For example, what would happen if adoration were removed from your prayers?)

Let me start by saying everyone has their own way of praying and in a time of real trouble you might forget adoration or another point without meaning to. However in Devotions leaving one out negates the whole point of telling God how much you love and appreciate Him and know that He is the One in whom you trust. We’re really good at Supplication. But speaking for myself, those other three need more attention!

We would not have balance in our prayers to God.

I believe we’d be missing a key part of God’s character and relationship with God. God is not a God of just confession. He also is a God of thanksgiving and adoration, etc. I believe incorporating all four of these are important to have a balance relationship with God, and one that is based on Biblical Theology.

Leaving one of these four out would ultimately change our relationship with the Lord. We cannot have one without the other and still have the relationship with the Lord that HE desires us to have with HIM.
