How to Win This Spiritual War - A Nighttime Prayer

“Our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms.” – Ephesians 6:12 (NIV)

Please Pray:

Dear Lord, sometimes your armor feels heavy and hard to wear. We’re busy people. It takes time to study your Word so that we can refute those who refute Biblical truths. It takes time to pray for our friends and our foes. Open our eyes to see people’s need for you. At our work. At our play. With our families. Especially with our families, for we want our loved ones to spend eternity with You. Yet they may be drawn away as they interact with their peers. Thank you that You are with us when we face the foe. By wearing Your armor we can fight spiritual battles and win. In Jesus’ Name. Amen.
