As an individual dedicated to the practice of prayer, I deeply understand the internal struggle that many face when trying to gather the strength to pray, particularly when confronted with formable attacks from Satan. He strategically capitalizes on the adversities we face in life, launching firey darts in every direction to demoralize us and ultimately deter us from seeking solace through prayer.
However, facing such challenges and relentless attacks, we must stand resolute and pray. Satan’s onslaught of fiery darts is relentless, intending to wear down our spirits, making it difficult for us to find the strength to kneel in prayer. He artfully manipulates the storms of life to his advantage, seeking to disrupt and discourage our connection with God.
“When facing with relentless attacks from the enemy, we often find ourselves questioning our faith and purpose. Doubt creeps in, and discouragement takes root in our hearts and minds. It is important to recognize these attacks for what they are so that we can guard against becoming discouraged and feeling ready to give up.”
Psalm 37:7 says, Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him… (NKJ)
When we, as Prayer Warriors, feel weary, finding rest and maintaining trust in God throughout the process can be quite challenging. The weight of the battles and challenges the enemy throws can be overwhelming, but believing that God’s faithfulness will provide the strength we need is crucial.
Despite the temptations to succumb to the enemy’s mind games, it is important to resist and express our struggles to God. We can openly cry out and tell Him about our weariness, admitting that we are barely managing to hold on. This honesty and vulnerability in prayer can be a source of comfort and a reminder of God’s unwavering presence in our lives.
I have frequently found myself in a place where I feel utterly drained, unable to muster the strength to face another challenge. It is in these moments I have to summon my inner reserves and remind myself of the people who rely on me to intercede for them and their circumstances.
I find solace in knowing that God is my source of strength, and he will equip me for my time in prayer. As I step into my secluded place of prayer and shut the door behind me, I sink to my knees and cry to the Lord, pleading for His help, feeling the weight of the burdens bearing down on me.
When we consciously choose not to allow the adversary to hinder us from fulfilling our divine calling, we weaken the enemy’s power. Satan’s ultimate wish is for us to forsake reliance on the Holy Spirit for fortitude and direction. If God has chosen us to be Prayer Warriors, then we can be assured that He will guide us through every skirmish orchestrated by the enemy. Remember that the Lord will rejuvenate our strength and wage war against the darkness that pervades this world.
Remember:
Isaiah 41:10, So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous hand. (NIV)
“Even when brought to their knees, a resilient and unwavering army can triumph over the adversary and emerge victorious.”
Has there ever been a time in your life when you have felt the weight of being a Prayer Warrior?
