Becoming a Prayer Warrior

from The Encouragement Well · host Rachel Haywood

In this episode of The Encouragement Well, we are talking about what it really means to become a prayer warrior without becoming weary.Prayer is not passive. It is not performance. It is not just something we do when we have run out of options. Prayer is spiritual warfare, and as women of God, we are called to recognize the battle, pray the Word, shift from worry to war, and stand in spiritual authority without trying to stand in God’s place.Together, we’ll talk about how to pray with confidence, build consistency, create a designated prayer space, persist when answers do not come quickly, and surrender enough to listen for the voice of the Holy Spirit. We’ll also look at women in Scripture like Esther, the persistent widow, and the Canaanite woman, who remind us what it looks like to pray with courage, boldness, humility, and faith.This episode is for the woman who has been carrying what God only asked her to cover. You are not called to be an emotional pack mule. You are called to be a woman who knows how to go to God and stay there.Referenced Scriptures: Ephesians 6:10-18, Ephesians 6:12, 1 Peter 5:8, John 10:10, Esther 4:16, Philippians 4:6-7, Hebrews 4:16, Luke 10:19, 2 Corinthians 10:4-5, James 5:16, Colossians 4:2, 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18, Luke 18:1-8, Matthew 15:21-28Book Referenced: Fervent by Priscilla Shirer0:00 Intro02:22 Recognizing the Spiritual Battle06:31 Basing Prayers on the Word10:56 Shifting from Worry to War15:19  Praying with Authority and Confidence20:27  Building Consistency, Persistence, Surrender, and Listening25:53 Closing Encouragement 28:30 Prayer32:22 Outro
