Last month I wrote about being an overcomer. We all want to be victorious in what life and the devil throws our way. And while the tips from last month are key, God does not leave us defenseless or without a weapon. The following is an excerpt from my book Carried by Grace (affiliate link).
In Matthew 6:6–13 Jesus teaches us how we should pray.
- Begin with praise (verse 9).
- Pray God’s will to be done in your life and other’s lives (verse 10).
- Speak out your specific needs (verse 11).
- Ask for forgiveness and forgive others (verse 12).
- Pray for guidance and protection (verse 13a).
- End with praise (verse 13b).
Don’t let prayer become an empty ritual. Jesus warned in verses 6–8 to avoid empty prayers. Pray from your heart.
Prayer is our best weapon and works in the spiritual realm, a realm we cannot see with our natural eyes. It is the world of God, angels, and demons.
