Intro: Heading off into our day with prayer
Do you forget to figure up your day with warfare prayer? It happens to all of us. We are in a hurry, or distracted, running late, and we forget to start off our day with prayer. Heading off into our day without a solid foundation of prayer is like skipping breakfast.
Soon, we are feeling weak and confused. It becomes difficult to cope with the spiritual trials of our day. We make mistakes, get angry, and say things we wish we hadn’t. We offend our Lord by sinning.
Spiritual warfare prayers help strengthen us for whatever we will face in the day to come. They are like putting on armor to keep us strong and safe. Warfare prayers are preemptive strikes against the enemy of our souls.
By praying these spiritual warfare prayers before you start your day, you will prepare yourself for any difficulties or trials that will come.
And, you will be spiritually strong and able to resist temptation and remain at peace. Start your day breaking barriers to your financial breakthrough and blessings.
You will be armored against the darts and barbs of the enemy and will be able to stand on the word and not fall.
Prayer is powerful and effective. The Bible says, “The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much” (James 5:16).
These prayers will put you in the right frame of mind and prepare you for your day. Choose one and pray it in the morning before you even get out of bed, or as you enjoy your breakfast and you’ll be prepared for whatever comes your way.

Help me to tie the belt of truth around my waist, and protect my heart with the breastplate of righteousness.
