INTRO TO SECTIONS // WARFARE PRAYERS 

Prayer is not the only communion with God; it is also a confrontation with the enemy. When Jesus was on the earth, He came face-to-face with the devil when He was tempted in the wilderness (see Matthew 4 and Luke 4), and every time the enemy tried to tempt Him, Jesus responded with a reference from the Bible. He used the Sword of Truth to defend Himself from the enemy’s attacks. In these exchanges, Jesus didn’t confront the devil as God. He confronted the devil as a man with the Word of God. We should do the same thing. These spiritual warfare prayers and verses are examples we can use and adapt to our specific situations when we or someone we know is under attack from the devil.

Day 17 | PRIDE PRAYER 

Based on Proverbs 11:2, 16:18, 26:12; 1 Timothy 3:6

The Bible tells us that pride comes before the fall. Pride can be a very real issue in our lives, but we have the power to overcome it through Jesus’ victory over sin and the power of the Holy Spirit.

“When pride comes, then comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom.” PROVERBS 11:2

Practicing humility requires battling pride in our lives. Just as you confess other sins, regularly confess your pride to God. Submit it to Him, asking Him to help you walk in humility, free of pride, closed-mindedness, and self-absorption. If you feel like pride is an issue that continues to surface in your life, confess it daily and bring it before God.

Prayer

“Father God, I come to you in the Name of Jesus. I know pride only keeps me from you. I put down anything that would cause me to have pride in my heart in dealing with other people. Help me recognize where I lack knowledge and understanding. Help me to prioritize others over myself. I ask you, God, to remind me daily that true humility is not thinking less of myself, it’s thinking of myself less. I humble myself before you and come to you like a child.”

Note: One of the best ways to humble ourselves is to combine prayer with fasting.
