Using the ACTS acrostic fill in the following in your trail journal

• A – Adoration –
• Write some words here that you would use to praise the Lord and worship Him.

• C – Confession –
• Think about words, actions, attitudes, or time when you should have done something but didn’t and confess it to the Lord.

• T – Thanksgiving –
• Write two or three things here that you are thankful for. Tell God “Thank You” as you pray.

• S – Supplication –
• Are you aware of something in your life or in someone else’s life that needs to be a matter of prayer?
