They need to be prepared in their minds and in their hearts. Through this section, he seems to be holding up some choices and asking them to consider carefully.
ASK:
-Where will you set your hope? On the world or on Jesus?

A (Adoration)- God, You alone are holy and true, good and just, righteous and steadfast…
C (Confession)- Forgive my shallow heart…
T (Thanksgiving)- Thank you for saving me from myself…
S (Supplication- Say what you need)- I choose You and I need your help…
