Spiritual Warfare: 'Remember: Prayer Is the Heart of the Battle'

God's Power for Our Battles — Friday, February 27, 2026

Pray in the Spirit at all times and on every occasion. Stay alert and be persistent in your prayers for all believers everywhere. And pray for me, too. Ask God to give me the right words so I can boldly explain God’s mysterious plan that the Good News is for Jews and Gentiles alike.

Today's Prayer

Lord, let prayer be my first reaction to every problem in life; not my last resort. Let my prayers become second nature. Remind me that prayer is the heart of the battle and the strategy that leads to victory. Give me the right words at the right moment for the right people. Give me boldness to speak up when I should, and give the church unity of purpose. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
