The A.C.T.S. Prayer

Here is an idea you may have already heard.  This is a way to pray in four stages.  First come to God in Adoration - adoring him.  Second, come to God in Confession, confessing your sins to him, especially hidden ones.  Third, come to him in Thanksgiving, thanking him for who he is, for the blessings in your life.  Fourth, come to him in Supplication, asking him for help in various situations, praying for people you know are in need of help.  One great thing about this form of prayer is that it helps us realize that prayer is not just about asking God for things, like he is a vending machine, or that going to prayer is like going to Wal-Mart, "I am going to prayer, do you want anything?"
