June 27, 2024 - Psalms 18:34-36

“He trains my hands for battle; he strengthens my arm to draw a bronze bow. You have given me your shield of victory. Your right hand supports me; your help has made me great. You have made a wide path for my feet to keep them from slipping.” Psalms 18:34-36 NLT

Lord, train us up to be mighty warriors for you. We ask for you to strengthen us and teach us how to use our spiritual weapons. Teach us how to use our shield of faith as a defense. Lord, we ask that your right hand would always support us. Make the path wide for our feet and keep us from slipping. Open our eyes to the enemy’s plans to trip us or cause us to slip.

We want to learn to fight with your strategies. Help us always remember to come to you and ask for your strategies before we go to battle. We never want to come to you and ask, but then not be willing to say, “yes” to your instructions, even if they sound crazy. When we read the Old Testament, we definitely see that your strategies were often crazy sounding and looked like the opposite of what we would think would work in the natural. We declare that our trust is in you and we will be mighty warriors who will follow your every instruction.

In Jesus name, amen.
