Introduction: Warfare Prayers –
The next 7 days our prayer focus is on praying prayers that deliver us and our family from the enemy. These prayers are spiritual warfare prayers that are based on God’s word. These prayers are especially helpful to equip us to pray during times of spiritual warfare.
“Let the whole earth shout joyfully to God! Sing about the glory of his name; make his praise glorious. Say to God, ‘How awe-inspiring are your works! Your enemies will cringe before you because of your great strength.’”
Psalm 66:1-2
Prayer:
Father, teach me to praise you with the words that I say to you and with the songs that I sing. The enemy exalts himself and tempts me to bow to his lies and fear. Lord, give me discernment to quickly recognize the enemy’s lies and his efforts to exalt himself in my life. The lies from the enemy do not have the power to stand against the truth of your word. Teach me to speak your word aloud in faith when I am under spiritual attack. Create in me a heart that is passionate to praise you with the words I say and the songs I sing. Lord, help me pray your word back to you in faith and by the power of your Spirit within me. In Jesus’ name, amen.
Read the following scriptures out loud as a prayer to God. Ask God to empower you by His Spirit to pray in faith.
“God, you are my God; I eagerly seek you. I thirst for you; my body faints for you in a land that is dry, desolate, and without water. So I gaze on you in the sanctuary to see your strength and glory. My lips glorify you because your faithful love is better than life. So I will bless you as long as I live; at your name, I lift up my hands. You satisfy me as with rich food; my mouth will praise you with joyful lips. When I think of you as I lie on my bed, I meditate on you during the night watches because you are my helper; I will rejoice in the shadow of your wings. I follow close to you; your right hand holds on to me.”
Psalm 63:1-8
Father, you are my salvation and glory, my refuge, my stronghold and my hope comes from you. I will not be shaken (Psalm 62:5-8). In Jesus’ name, amen.
