APTAT: Admit, Pray, Trust, Act, Thank EGP Blog post from February 18, 2018

“Admit you need God, Pray for His help, Trust in His promises, Act with His guidance, Thank Him in all things.” —John Piper

In several of his recent sermons, John Piper has been sharing a mnemonic that he has lived by in his Christian walk. This device can be used as a guideline before, during, and after any situation. While this may not be an exact quote, as his expansion of the five keywords changes, here’s a summary of the concept:

Admit you need God [John 15:5]
Pray for His help [Psalm 50:15]
Trust in His promises [2 Chronicles 20:20]
Act with His guidance [Philippians 2:12–13]
Thank Him in all things [Psalm 106:1]
