If you read the post titled Confession is Good for the Soul, you already know about A.C.T.S. prayers and why I use them frequently to clear and cleanse my mind, heart and spirit. Here are a few examples of my A.C.T.S. prayers. Enjoy! (When you undertake the A.C.T.S. prayer process, go all the way, holding nothing back, confess it all and come completely clean–it’s liberating!)
A.C.T.S. Prayers
Adoration
Dear Mother Father God, Jehovah Jireh, Protector of all, I am one with You, filled with Your Holy Spirit, which guides and protects me in every facet of my blessed life.
Confession
God, I confess my fears to You. I have multiple fears: fears of not being good enough, fears of losing everything I have, fears of not living up to my vast potential, fears of what other people think of me, fears of failing miserably and fears of succeeding monumentally, fears of ill-health overtaking me. I fear so much.
Thanksgiving
I honor and praise You, Great and Wondrous Protector, because You are worthy of all my praise, honor, worship, adoration and admiration. Thank You God, I love You God.
Supplication
Mother, infuse me with faith and courage now! Mother, I need Your loving and powerful hand to lay upon me right here and right now and lift any spirit of fear from my mind, my heart and my subconscious thoughts. I pray for deliverance from all fear, that I may move forward powerfully in my purpose, confidently, faithfully and courageously! Hallelujah that it is so!
Adoration
My God, my Creator, my Life-Giver, Your thoughts are my thoughts, Your Mind is my mind, Your ideas are my ideas manifesting in my world.
Confession
I confess, God, my lack of faith in You. I confess that I have been a doubting Thomas, asking to see holes in Your hands and feet. I confess that I have doubted what You told me, and the doubt caused me to hesitate and procrastinate in doing the vital work You have given me to do. I have questioned You God, and I have not believed Your Holy Word.
Thanksgiving
I thank You, Great Mystery, that You are giving me thoughts and feelings that affirm that Your Mind is my mind, and that all You have given to me in the form of creative ideas are mine to express fully, and I thank You, Mother, that when I have the faith to move forward on those ideas, miracles spontaneously occur for me and around me.
Supplication
Creator, my prayer is the same as the man who was healed by the Christ: I have faith, help me out where I need more faith. Grand Creator, I need more faith, and I affirm that this prayer is immediately answered and more faith is delivered to me now! Hallelujah!
Adoration
Holy God, Mighty One, how I rejoice to remember our connection, Holy One, how I rejoice to remember that You reside within me, urging me forward. Dear God, I hear Your guidance welling up from deep within me, and I rejoice to hear Your voice.
Confession
Dear Holy One, I confess that I have been wayward. I have not followed Your direction in my life—God I have run from You, and refused to surrender to You even as I lied to myself and said that I was doing Your will. I ran from what You told me to do, Holy Mother, because I was terrified of the great calling You put into my heart. I have run away, just like Jonah, and I have been swallowed by the whale of terror.
Thanksgiving
I praise Your guidance in my life and my heart is filled with appreciation and gratitude for how You have constantly, consistently and faithfully led me in paths of righteousness for Your name sake. I praise You, Great Illustrious One, that You never left me, nor have You abandoned me. For this I am so, so, so, so grateful.
Supplication
I now ask for Your Holy Spirit to guide me in what to say and what to do this Thursday evening when I speak before many. Anoint my tongue. Give me the tongue of the taught ones that I may teach others, so that they may hold You in greater awe, and love themselves unconditionally. Hallelujah!
Adoration
Holy One of Israel, Your truth, grace, mercy and joy abide with me now. I am exhilarated to know that I am one with You and all the goodness You shower upon me daily is mine now.
Confession
I confess to You God of all truth, that I have been a liar. I have lived a lie and I have perpetrated lies. I said I was doing Your will, but inside I really wasn’t. I said I would do things that in my heart I knew I wouldn’t or couldn’t or didn’t want to do. I lied. I have been a gross liar. I have not spoken up when I wanted to, which allowed others to think that what they did and said was perfectly okay when my spirit knew it wasn’t and I wanted to scream, “IT’S NOT OKAY!” I have been a gross liar. I here and now confess to being a liar. I seek to live a life of truth. Forgive me and give me the strength to lead a life of truth.
Thanksgiving
Precious God, I praise You, jubilantly knowing that You are the One who extends grace and mercy to all, and that grace and mercy now fall fresh on me like morning dew and I am renewed by Your love. For Your endless grace and mercy, I am so very grateful.
Supplication
Today, Mighty One, I desire courage to speak my truth. I require the fire within to speak what I want, how I want it, and when I want it. I need more courage to say what’s not okay in my experience and to ask for what I want while knowing that it is already mine. I now speak my truth boldly! And so it is!
Adoration
Wonder of Wonders, God of Gods, Creator of all, I am in Your loving presence and I feel Your love within me. Your love abides with me always. Your love is my love.
Confession
I have acted like a victim, full of fear and continually handing over my power to others who were only too happy to receive it. I ran and hid when I wanted to stand my ground. Whenever I act as a victim, I deny every bit of power You gave me, and I curse You, God. Whenever I fearfully run, I curse You God, all You stand for and all the love You emanate and are.
Thanksgiving
I am so very appreciative that I am now aware of how and when I give my power away. I am so thankful that You, Holy Mother, have shown me the light so that I no longer grope about in the darkness.
Supplication
God of all Love and Light, Omnipotent One, I now fall down to my knees and ask for more love. There is only love with You, all else is fear. I no longer desire to quake with fear. I no longer consent to loss of personal power. Right here and right now, Illustrious Magnificent One, I supplicate for love eternal and more of the realization of my personal power. Mighty God, I rejoice to feel Your love and power now coursing through me! And so it is!
Adoration
Awoon, You are all I will ever need. You are all I could ever desire, and all that I think I desire is simply another aspect of you. Today, I celebrate you, Great Mystery and all the ways You appear in me, through me, as me, with me and for me.
Confession
I confess here and now, God that I acted like I didn’t need you. I thought I could handle things on my own without you. I thought I knew better than You, Wise One, Ancient of Days. I thought I could do it on my own. I made a pure mess of anything and everything I sought to do without you. I created catastrophe, drama, denial, projection, conflama, lack, poverty, hurt, victimization, animosity, resentment, hate, guilt, shame, fear, disarray, disorderliness and confusion. In a word, God, I created and welcomed chaos into my life, all because I was too proud to ask You to guide me and too stiff necked to do what You told me to do. I confess my truth, and it is liberating. I confess it all to you, Father and I become free.
Thanksgiving
I am so filled with deepest appreciation and honor, Wise One, that You hold none of my mistakes against me. I so thank You that I am able to still feel Your awesome, wondrous and delicious presence at every second of every day as long as I am open and allowing. I am so joyfully thankful for Your loving embrace which swaddles me in comfort. I am so happily grateful for the warm love You flow into my heart now.
Supplication
Today, Holy Omniscient One, allow me to be a garden hose in Your hands. You are the Gardener and You know what Your precious flowers need. I desire to be used by You to bring life giving waters of truth to Your beautiful and precious flowers, Your holy children here on earth. When I am tangled up God, untangle me. When there is a kink in me that prevents life giving water and Holy Spirit to flow freely through me, pull the kinks out of me God. Unwind me God. Stretch me out God until I am straight. Today, point me where I should go and anoint my tongue that everywhere I go I bring life-sustaining waters of truth. Let me be a conduit for Your Holy Spirit. It is accomplished.
Adoration
Lord of Hosts, Omnipotent One, Your power fills me and I am empowered by the ceaseless flow of energy from You. Your Power is my power as we are one.
Confession
Omnipotent Father, I hereby confess that I have given my power away and then I lied about it by claiming that others were oppressing me. I let others do what they wanted and allowed myself to suffer on the inside. I felt my stomach go into knots whenever I gave away my power and my breath was short and stifled. The fear welled up in my belly and I caved in against every fiber of my being. After it all, I blamed those around me for my own weakness.
Thanksgiving
Praise be to You, God, that I am seeing my power, feeling my authentic power, and no longer bargaining it away or giving it away. I am infinitely blessed by Your power.
Supplication
Today, Omnipotent One, All Powerful God, I pray for strength and faith to stand in my authentic power, for that alone is real. My power is from You, and it resides as a never-ending supply of strength at the center of my being. I am powerful now! And I use my authentic power in ways that move me forward in my purpose and vision and in ways that empower others to do likewise. Your Power fills me now! Amen!
