The Prayer Guide For Beginners

          So we've learnt that most times when people are asked to pray, they often use the excuse ''I don't know how to''. But we don't think so. We do not think they don't know how to pray. We think that they are too shy or they do not know exactly what to pray about. Well we have to break it to you that praying is easy once you have understood the true meaning of prayer. Prayer means communicating with your creator. So once you see your creator as your Father or close Friend, imagine him as a Family and start talking With Him and not To Him.
           When praying, use the acronym ACTS, it will guide you. In fact, this is all you need for any prayer of any kind and at anywhere or any place. The acronym stands for Adoration Confession Thanksgiving and Supplication.
 Adoration:  When you pray, you want to adore your creator, praising Him with all kinds of wonderful and beautiful names. You do not want to start a prayer by requesting, although praying in a way you feel comfortable in, is the best way to ever pray. Just be focused and real.




     Confessing your sins or wrong doing means being open to your creator. Although he knows all things and sees all things, confessing is still the right way to go. it brings out the humble and contrite heart.

   Thanksgiving: Thanking your creator shows Him how grateful you are. It is good to thank Him often in most and even all of your prayers. Thank Him for his protection, his provision, his creation, his son (Jesus) and all he has done.


   Supplication: Now is the time to request. After the adoration, confessions and thanksgiving, feel free to request for your needs and wants.

 With this guide, you'd be praying in no time. Goodluck

     It was an amazing feeling I had last week when I graduated from high school. I could not believe how the time went by so fast. I entered high school in 2011 and now I'm done! Amazing!!!     But high school was not rosy all the time, i really had my ups and downs and even as i reminisce on the good old days , I'd like to show you from my experience how to be successful in high school.        1. SETTING YOUR GOALS:  What do you aim to achieve in high school? I never started setting my goals until the 9th grade( JSS3). I always played a lot with friends and was never really interested in schoolwork and I ended up failing both in the 7th (JSS1) and in the 8th(JSS2) grades but i had to sit up in the 9th grade and that was my first success story i ever had in high school. Setting your goals from the very beginning will help you achieve a lot both academically and in other aspects of life. Be SMART - Specific Measurable Achievable Realistic and Time-bound.
