Prayer For Strength in Spiritual Warfare - A Prayer When You’re Weak

We are living in a severe warzone and continuously facing spiritual battles. It isn’t easy to find peace in the face of a spiritual warzone. We often don’t see that the biggest place that we deal with spiritual battles is our head. The Bible says, “They all ate the same spiritual food and drank the same spiritual drink; for they drank from the spiritual rock that accompanied them, and that rock was Christ. Nevertheless, God was not pleased with most of them; their bodies were scattered in the wilderness” (1 Corinthians 10:3-5). There a number of satanic strongholds that hold us captive that we need to be aware of. The enemy will use these battles taking place in our heads against us and attempt to attack us daily. One of the greatest spiritual weapons we can use in these battles is prayer.

If you are Christian, you are not immune to spiritual attack. In fact, the devil sees you as his biggest target. He wants you to lose sight of God and place your trust in him. If you are not on guard, the devil can separate you from God. When we pray and put on the full armor of God, we have the power to ward off these spiritual attacks.

The enemy will come for you when you are in a weak place in your life. This can be when you’re in a vulnerable place physically and emotionally. 

Remember, Jesus was targeted when he has fasted for 40 days. Matthew 4:2-3 says, “After fasting forty days and forty nights, He was hungry. The tempter came to Him and said, ‘If you are the Son of God, tell these stones to become bread.’” Satan tried to attack Jesus when He was challenged physically.

If the devil sees that you are weak and willing to dwell in your weaknesses, he will prey on you. The good thing is we can put on the full armor of God and take our stand against the enemy’s schemes (Ephesians 6:10-11). Turn to this prayer when you’re feeling weak:

Prayer:

Dear Lord, as I begin my day,
I pray that You would fill me with Your Spirit.

I feel weaker than usual today.
Please cover me with Your protecting wings
and guard me from spiritual attacks. Amen.
