Mark answered

Praise the Lord as He answers — and never forget His faithfulness.

A pattern for prayer

A · C · T · S

A simple four-part pattern that keeps prayer God-centered before it becomes list-centered.

A
Adoration

Begin with worship. Praise God for who He is — His holiness, majesty, sovereignty, and love.

"Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise." — Psalm 100:4

C
Confession

Agree with God about sin. Name it, forsake it, and receive His cleansing.

"If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins." — 1 John 1:9

T
Thanksgiving

Thank Him for what He has done — saving grace, daily bread, answered prayer, unnoticed mercies.

"In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you." — 1 Thess 5:18

S
Supplication

Then bring your requests — for yourself, for others, for the lost, for the church.

"Let your requests be made known unto God." — Philippians 4:6

The Lord's Prayer

After This Manner Pray Ye

Matthew 6:9–13 — the pattern Christ Himself gave His disciples.

"Our Father which art in heaven"
Relationship & reverence — He is our Father, but He is in heaven.
"Hallowed be thy name"
Worship — set apart His name as holy above every name.
"Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done"
Submission — His agenda before ours, on earth as in heaven.
"Give us this day our daily bread"
Provision — daily dependence, not monthly self-sufficiency.
"Forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors"
Forgiveness — received and extended in the same breath.
"Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil"
Protection — a plea for guidance and rescue.
"For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever. Amen."
Ascription — the last word belongs to God.
