Kingdom Prayer Focus

Heavenly Father, your word tells us that before time began, you knew us, and every day of our lives is written in a book. It was part of your plan that when we accepted your son Jesus as Lord and Savior, we would become a soldier in his army….an army that is at war. You also tell us that we have an enemy who wants to destroy us. We praise you for the life-giving armor you provided for us to combat that enemy. We ask for discernment in every battle that we encounter to know which spiritual weapon to use. Show us how to stay engaged in the fight and help us to fight well. Remind us to stay rooted in you because your divine power that lives in us is our most mighty weapon. Lead the way Lord, for with you all things are possible - in Jesus’ name, amen.
