Contents

A war is going on between good and evil in this world, and we are all in it. The battle itself is waged in prayer. Prayer is the actual battle.

A prayer warrior is someone who has a heart to help anyone who is hurting. A prayer warrior sees a situation that is headed in a wrong direction and wants to do something to turn it around. A prayer warrior has compassion for good people in bad situations and wants to make a difference in their lives. A prayer warrior knows to not only pray for themselves, their families, and the people they care about, but also to pray for others that they may not even know. A prayer warrior prays with the power and leading of the Holy Spirit, and senses the call of God to do so. We are all called by the Lord to pray, but not all are listening for His direction. You are listening or you would not be reading this.

This book is divided into two sections. The first half is about praying for yourself to become a strong prayer warrior. The second half consists of prayers that every prayer warrior should know. That doesnt mean you need to memorize those prayers, but just let them be a starting point from which you pray specifics about your own life, the lives of other people, and the situations that are heavy on your heart. When you do that, the enemy is pushed back and the kingdom of God is advanced. We all need to see that happening in our lives.

L ORD , I pray You will help me build my life on a solid foundation. I know there is no more solid foundation than that which is built on the Rockwhich is You, Jesus, and Your Word (1 Corinthians 3:11). No matter what is shaking around me, You give me a foundation that can never be shaken or destroyed. Help me to always keep in mind that I am instrumental in the war between You and Your enemy, and victory in my life depends on my willingness to hear Your call to pray. I know this is spiritual warfare You want me to engage in, and prayer is the battle. Teach me, Lord, to hear Your call and to pray in power the way You want me to.

In Jesus name I pray.

No other foundation can anyone lay than that which is laid, which is Jesus Christ.

1 C ORINTHIANS 3:11

T HANK Y OU , Lord, for the countless men and women whom You have called to be prayer warriors in this spiritual battle between good and evil, and who have already answered the call. I pray for the many who are still sitting on the sidelines, not realizing how they can become wounded by enemy fire. Help us all to wake up to Your truth. Enable us to bear one anothers burdens in prayer and fulfill Your law (Galatians 6:2). Teach us all to always hear Your call. Enable me to continually hear the voice of Your Holy Spirit leading me to pray. Show me where my prayer is most needed for myself, my family, and the people and situations You put on my heart.

In Jesus name I pray.

Bear one anothers burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ.

G ALATIANS 6:2

L ORD , by You the world was created and all things on earth and in heaven. Everything comes from You and consists in You. Thank You, Lord, that You hold the world together. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me, forgiving me, and freeing me from the mortal wounds my sins have inflicted on me. Thank You, Lord, that You never change. You are the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). Help me to imitate You in all things. Keep me from following anything that is not of You (Hebrews 13:9). Thank You, Jesus, for the inheritance You have secured for meboth in this life and in the life to come. Thank You for the great hope I have in You.

In Jesus name I pray.

By Him all things were created that are in heaven and that are on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or dominions or principalities or powers. All things were created through Him and for Him.

C OLOSSIANS 1:16-17

L ORD , teach me how to be the powerful prayer warrior You have called me to be. Show me how I should pray. Enable me to take dominion over the works of darkness and take back territory the enemy has stolen from me and the rest of Your people. Help me to stand strong in prayer against the encroachment of the enemy into my life, as well as the lives of others. Enable me to serve You, being led by Your Holy Spirit in prayer. Thank You, Lord, that You will protect me and those for whom I pray. Thank You for sharing Your power with me so that I can win each battle and defeat the enemy.

In Jesus name I pray.

Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

J OHN 14:13

L ORD , I thank You that You have given us everything we need to stand strong against the enemy of our soul. It is You who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ (1 Corinthians 15:57). I acknowledge You as my Commander, and I submit myself to You as Your servant. Help me to serve You in prayer as You have asked me to do. Enable me to oppose the plans of the enemy in prayer. Whenever he tries to cause confusion in my life, I pray You will cause confusion in his camp when I pray. I know the enemy is no match for You, and the only way he gains power is by deceiving people into believing his lies. Keep me from all deception.

In Jesus name I pray.

Thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.
