Prayer Warrior

Prayer
...but the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits.
(Daniel 11:32)

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. (Ephesians 6:12)

I once heard a major evangelist say that when he got to heaven and the Lord was handing out rewards for bringing the "lost" into the Kingdom of God, the biggest reward would go to some little "Grandma" no one had ever heard of before because of the work she had done in her prayer closet.

PRAYER WARRIOR

She's down on her knees, with head bowed in prayer;
She looks weak and helpless,
as she's kneeling there.

But the truth of the matter about this humble scene
Is that she's battling forces that our eyes can't see.

And her power is greater than earth's strongest man;
Against the army of Satan she courageously stands.

She's casting down strongholds and tearing down walls;
She's releasing the captives as she prays for them all.

She's waging spiritual war, with God in command;
She finds strength for the conflict in the blood of the Lamb.

So the next time you see her with head bowed in prayer,
Remember, there's a battle going on there.
