Prayer for Spiritual Warfare

Dear Lord,

I come to You today asking for Your protection and guidance as I enter into spiritual warfare. I know that there are forces at work that seek to harm me and to tear me away from Your love. But I trust in Your power and Your strength to guide me through any trial or temptation.

I ask that You would fill me with Your Holy Spirit, that I may have the courage and the wisdom to stand firm against the schemes of the enemy. Give me the discernment to recognize the attacks of the enemy, and the strength to resist them.

I pray that You would give me the armor of God, that I may be able to withstand the fiery darts of the enemy. May Your truth be a shield to me, and may Your righteousness be my breastplate. Let Your peace be my helmet, and may Your word be the sword that I wield.

I pray that You would give me the strength to fight this spiritual warfare with faith and with perseverance, knowing that You are with me every step of the way. And I pray that through this struggle, I may grow in my faith and in my relationship with You.

In Your holy and powerful name I pray, Amen.
