When’s pray I pray in the mornings, I try to always start with adoration. I got this from a sermon that I heard from Rick Warren where he suggests using the acronym ACTS (Adoration, Confession, Thanks, and Supplication).
However, When starting with praise, I often feel guilty or unworthy. I hear that old devil whispering in my ear;
“Your such a suck up. He knows what you did, what you thought, what you said, what you saw. How many times do you think he’ll forgive you for that failure. Haven’t you prayed this already?”
When I listen to him, I am more prone to be distracted (while praying) and that happens more than I want to admit. Please pray for me.
