Prayer for God’s power and grace
Lord, I need your supernatural strength to stand strong and not give in. Physical force is useless, because you said that our weapons of war are different from those of this world. As believers, ours is powerful and can destroy strongholds and lies. These supernatural weapons were born from you. Jesus, in Your Precious Name and Blood, I ask you to confuse Satan and end his attempts to contain me and my influence. Help us not to lose heart or give in when times of great trial come.
Lord, you are strong and you are my only help when I am tired and weak. I can’t fight without you. Please show me how you can pray and trust to tear down the strongholds that are making me and others powerless. Protect me from the isolation that leaves me exposed and vulnerable. I believe that you have broken the power of my enemies by your death and resurrection. But like a bad penny, my enemies keep showing up, whispering lies, twisting the truth, and trying to exaggerate my selfish pride. he never gives up.
Lord, I declare today that the devil and his demons are liars. By the power of your precious name and blood, I consent to your word and the truth that you are within me and greater than my enemies who seek to rule the world. Lord, You, Your Word, and prayer are my secret weapons. I am yours, and it fills me with a powerful confidence in God. I want to always wear the spiritual armor you have given me. Help us also use it to protect others from Satan’s fiery arrows. No one and nothing can take me from your hands.
Strengthen my faith, Lord. Forgive me my sins, that I may be clean in your righteousness. Encourage me to stand up and fight the spiritual battles in my life and in our world. Give me your wisdom and insight so that I am not taken by surprise. Together, Lord, we will win, because You have already won.
In the mighty name of Jesus, where every knee bows, Amen! (From “Spiritual Warfare Prayer” by Rebecca Barlow Jordan)
