Colossians 4:2 (ESV)
Continue steadfastly in prayer, being watchful in it with
thanksgiving.
I used to really struggle with praying, do you struggle
with praying? When my mind draws a blank and I don’t know what to say or what
to pray for, I think about TACOS: Let us take a look at how TACOS can help us
when we pray.
Thanksgiving: What are you thankful
for? Family, friends, your home, your church — the list goes on. Start by
thanking God.
Adoration: God is awesome!
Adoration means “worship” or “great and profound love.” Let Jesus know how much
you love him.
Confession: Prayer is a lot
easier when we get rid of the barriers between God and us. We all sin. In
prayer, we can confess our sins and receive God’s forgiveness.
Others: So many people we know (and
even those we don’t) could use our prayers. Praying means taking the focus off
of ourselves and lifting up the needs of others.
Supplication: Pray for yourself and
your own needs. These prayers should come last. Otherwise, we are tempted to
spend all of our prayer time talking about ourselves.
If you love tacos what a great way to help you when you
pray. With TACOS, prayer will seem a whole lot easier — and delicious.
Dear Lord, we thank You that we can openly talk with You
through prayer. We pray that we would practice our special time with You. In
the Name of Jesus, Amen.
