prayer models

Prayer models are structured ways of approaching prayer to deepen one’s spiritual experience. They serve as frameworks guiding how individuals focus their thoughts, communicate with the divine, and reflect on their relationship with God. Examples include the ACTS model (Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving, Supplication), which helps structure prayertime, or Lectio Divina, a meditative practice involving reading scripture slowly to foster reflection. These models provide variety and purpose, helping practitioners to engage more intentionally and meaningfully in prayer, enhancing their spiritual growth and connection.
