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

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]
