Battles are the spiritual wars the devil is always engaging upon the lives of the Christian so as to make them lose focus and render their destiny unfulfilled. As children of God we should know that we live in a spiritual world where the spiritual controls the physical.
Everything that we see happening in the physical had earlier been orchestrated and finished in the spirit realm and the devil knew fully well the power and importance of the spirit realm in a man’s life. The devil therefore always attacks the children of God with physically Invisible battles to stop them and delay their progress and this is clearly showing the importance and power of praying the prayer of ending battles in our lives as Christians either in our lives or everything that pertains to us.
The prayer of ending battles in our lives cannot be underestimated because it is through this prayer we get our victory from the Invisible and stubborn battles of the enemy standing against us. The prayer of ending battles is a prayer we should always pray every day of our lives because it is clearly proven to us that there are demonic powers and forces operating in the world and they are always at war with us as children of God.
Psalms 18:2 “The lord is my rock, my fortress, and my savior; my God is my rock, in whom I find protection.
Prayer for Protection Against Evil
Lord Jesus, evil is such a harsh word, and yet Your Word uses it frequently to describe the opposite of good. While we are all capable of sin, I ask Your protection against those who call good evil, and evil good.
Guard us from those who scheme against righteousness and from those who twist truth into lies to accomplish their evil intents. May Your angels hover ever near to eradicate fear and fight against dark, spiritual forces we cannot see. Help us cast down every imagination and thought that our enemy tries to use to exalt itself against You.
You dealt our spiritual enemy a fateful blow on Calvary when you died on the cross for us and were resurrected on the third day. While evil still roams, the power of Your name and Your blood rises up to defeat and bring us victory against every evil planned against us. While malicious actions may disturb us, we use the armor of God You have given us to stand firm. You will bring justice in due time for all the harm and needless violence aimed at Your children. Until then, we remain in Your presence, aligned with Your purposes, and we look to You as our Supreme Commander and Protector. Help us to avoid temptation, and deliver us from evil, Lord. You are the Mighty One, the One Who will ultimately bring all evil to light. With You, Jesus, we are safe. Amen.
Prayer to Guard Against Spiritual Attacks
We know that the enemy wouldn’t be fighting so hard against us if we weren’t making a difference for your kingdom. He wouldn’t be trying so hard to stop us, if he didn’t think you had so much good still in store. Remind us today Lord, that the battle belongs to you, and whatever we’re up against can be taken down in one fell swoop by your mighty hand. Please help us to trust you more, to stop wasting time just spinning our wheels or fighting in our strength. Forgive us for the times we’ve neglected to set our eyes and hearts on you, for the days we’ve forgotten to come to you first. Fill us with the power of your Holy Spirit. Fill us with your wisdom and discernment to make us aware of the enemy’s traps, so we can stand strong against his schemes. Thank you for your constant reminders that your presence will go with us, in whatever we face, and you will give us rest. Amen
