This Battle-Ready Prayer will take about 25 minutes to
read aloud. It is designed to help you live a victorious life in
Christ. I transcribed an audio file of this prayer (found
online), then edited it and added Scriptures as the days
went by, according to my specific needs. I have left plenty
of blank space on the pages for you to do the same. This is
a covenant prayer; it is meant as a statement of faith to the
Lord, as well as a petition. If you read this aloud daily, you
will be delightfully surprised at how it shows up in your
daily thoughts, and even starts to come out of your mouth
at times! Also, I initially thought this prayer would lose
meaning and become a rote recitation; that concern was
without merit. Every time I read it, it never fails that some
part of it ministers to me or brings me joy. I think it is
because the prayer is Scripture-based. I also have added
so many Scriptures to it, just for my edification, that these
are now being "hidden in my heart." I hope this prayer
blesses you as it has blessed me, and more!
Battle Ready Prayer (T TH Sa)
I submit myself to You, God. I come near
to You, knowing You will come near to
me. James 4:7-8a
PRAISE & THANKSGIVING
Praise be to the Creator Of the universe,
the God of Moses, Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob! The Holy One of Israel – the Alpha
and Omega – the Beginning and End!
"Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to
receive power and wealth and wisdom
and strength and honor and glory and
praise!" Rev. 5:12 Praise be to the only
wise King who declares the end from the
beginning! Isaiah 46:10 Holy are You,
LORD! "Better is one day in your courts
than a thousand elsewhere…" Psalm
84:10a I give You thanks & praise for
Your goodness, Your mercy, and Your
grace. I give You thanks for a mind to
pray, a heart to seek Your face, and
authority to bring evil spirits into
subjection. Thank You for Your Holy
Spirit, who guides me into all truth, John
16:13 and intercedes for me when my
Words and wisdom fall short. Romans
8:26 I thank You for this moment, and the
opportunity that this day brings. I know
that each day is a gift from You, and I
have unlimited potential to impact Your
kingdom today.
THE ADVERSARY
Help me to never lose sight of the fact that
I have an adversary that must be fought
each day. The Word tells me that Satan
came to steal, kill, and destroy. But Jesus
comes that I might have life, and have it
more abundantly. In the Name of Jesus
and the power of his blood, I bind Satan
and his forces of darkness from any
involvement, activity, or distractions in this
prayer. I commission my angels to come
against every thought, feeling, influence,
and hindrance that may come against me
as I pray.
ARMOR OF GOD
In the Name of Jesus and the power of his
blood, I equip myself right now with the
whole armor of God, that I am covered
from head to toe in every aspect of my
life. There are no parts of my life that are
exposed, but my body, soul, and spirit are
covered by the blood of Jesus.
HELMET OF SALVATION
In the Name of Jesus and the power of his
blood, I put on the helmet of salvation.
Thank You for promising me salvation
both for today's battles and for all eternity.
This helmet will protect me from the
deception of my enemy. My thoughts are
sealed by the blood of Jesus, and no lie
can live in my mind.
BELT OF TRUTH
In the Name of Jesus and the power of his
blood, I put on the belt of truth. Thank
You, my LORD, for showing me the truth
about Yourself. Thank You for reminding
me that You are the only God, the Creator
of heaven and earth, the King of the
universe, my Father who loves me, and
my Shepherd who leads me. You are my
wisdom, my counselor, my hope, and my
strength. You are everything I need each
day. I am Yours. I am Your chosen,
adopted, dearly loved child.Nothing can
separate me from Your love! Romans
8:38-39
BREASTPLATE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS
In the Name of Jesus and the power of his
blood, I put on the breastplate of
righteousness. I thank You, LORD, for
showing me the truth that on my own I
could never be good enough to live in
Your presence. Jesus, thank You for
taking my sins on the cross and for giving
me Your righteousness in the great
exchange. Your righteousness protects
my heart from pride. My own good works
are like dirty rags to You, so I need not
worry about being good enough or doing
enough.
SHIELD OF FAITH
In the Name of Jesus and the power of his
blood, I take up the Shield of Faith, and I
bind the spirit of fear. You have not given
me the spirit of fear, but of power, love,
and a sound mind. I trust in the LORD
with all of my heart, mind, body, soul, and
spirit. If You said it, then I know that You
will do it. You do only good things to me,
and You are able to perform Your Word in
my life. I believe the promises of God for
my life. Every Word You have spoken
concerning my destiny shall be
established and come to pass; no man or
devil can usurp Your will for my life!
SANDALS OF PEACE
In the Name of Jesus and the power of his
blood, my feet are shod with the gospel of
peace. Peace rests upon me and covers
my mind and heart. I will share the good
news about Jesus with anyone You bring
me. Because of Jesus and what he has
done for me, I have peace in the midst of
storms, chaos, and confusion. Your peace
comforts me in times of trial, and sustains
me from being weary. It surpasses all
understanding and defies logic.
SWORD OF THE SPIRIT
In the Name of Jesus and the power of his
blood, I am empowered with the Sword of
the Spirit, which is the Word of God. The
Sword of the LORD shall never depart
from me. I pray for holy boldness in my
spirit, and for Your Holy Spirit to bring to
my mind the Word of God when I need it
to comfort, encourage, exhort, or wage
war with my enemy.
CONFESSIONS
I wash my hands of my sin; single-
minded, I purify my heart in Your
presence. James 4:8b if I confess my
sins, You are faithful and just and will
forgive my sins and cleanse me from all
unrighteousness. 1 John 1:9 "Search
me, O God, and know my heart; test me
and know my anxious thoughts. See if
there is any offensive way in me, and lead
me in the way everlasting." Psalm 139:23-
24 I stand before You, LORD, naked –
offering no excuses or justifications for my
sins. I come, LORD, seeking Your
standard, and not those of men. Holy
Spirit, bring into my mind the sins right
now that I need to confess...
[just wait - it will come to you]
LORD, I am thankful that You have
forgiven my sins. Forgive every thought,
deed, action, motive, or intent of my heart
that does not line up with Your Word,
Your will, or Your calling and purpose for
my life. Forgive me for the times I have
taken You for granted, or moments where
I have allowed my focus and discipline to
slip. Uproot any seed of discontent that
has been planted in my life. Forgive me,
LORD, if I have held back my time,
talents, or resources. Give me a heart to
restore every person I have wronged. Just
as You forgive me, I forgive those that
have wronged me, and I let go of any hurt,
bitterness, resentment, or ill-will that I
have held in my heart. I will not allow the
sin of offense and the bitterness that
follows to wreck my relationship with You.
I will not fall for the devil's bait of offense.
You can take care of those who hurt me -
I don't need to see things made right -
that's Your business! I repent right now, in
the name of Jesus, and I receive the
power of the blood to cleanse me from all
iniquity.
SUBMISSION
I know that friendship with the world is
hatred toward God - if I choose to be a
friend of the world, I become Your enemy.
I know Scripture says the Spirit You
caused to live in me envies intensely.
James 4:4-5 I come before You, LORD,
with a heart that is after Your own, and a
mind that is stayed on You. Praise the
LORD, O my soul, and forget not all his
benefits-" Psalm 103:2 I choose You,
LORD, and all of Your benefits, and
denounce all ties and fellowship with the
world. I have no place in the world, and
denounce everything that it offers. I thank
You, LORD, for saving me from myself
and the consequences of sin. I surrender,
LORD, and give You total and complete
reign over my life. I willingly submit to You
in thanksgiving and praise.
SPIRITUAL COVENANT
You have given me a choice, LORD, and I
choose to be in covenant with You. I have
crossed the line of no return, and I will not
look back. Each day I am becoming more
like You, and growing further from this
world. My reality in Christ is more real
than what my natural eyes behold, and I
know that You are near. You are right
here with me, every step of the way. I
thank You for every opportunity to gain
revelation and understanding concerning
You. The truths You have revealed to me
give me unshakeable faith - I will not
crumble when the storms of life come my
way. My life has been built on the solid
rock of revelation that You are the Christ,
the Son of the living God. I rest in the
belief that You died on the cross for my
sins, Your blood was shed for me, and praise instead of a spirit of despair. Isaiah
You rose again on the third day - 61:3
conquering death to give me life. Let People who are grieving:
there be no cracks in my foundation.

DEATH
Psalm 91:1 "He who dwells in the shelter
of the Most High will rest in the shadow of
the Almighty." In the Name of Jesus and
the power of his blood, I bind the spirit of
death. I shall not see untimely death, nor
shall death have any hold over me. I shall
fulfill all of my days. I have divine order in
my life, and death has no grip on me.
Psalm 91:7 "A thousand shall fall by my
side, and ten thousand by my right hand, HEALTH
but it shall not come near me." I exercise Psalm 103:3-4 You forgive all my sins
total faith and confidence in my belief that and heal all my diseases, You redeem my
death was powerless to hold You in the life from the pit. John 14:13-14 You have
grave, and that You rose again and said You will do whatever I ask in Your
resurrected every dead thing. I receive name, Jesus, so that You may bring glory
Your resurrection power, and declare to the Father. Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24b
there is no dead thing in my life. I Your Word says that by Your wounds we
separate myself right now from every are healed."James 5:15 You have told me
dead thing, and release them from my life to pray for others so that they may be
in Jesus' name. I speak life in all things healed. I stand in the gap for my family
pertaining to me. and friends, and I speak health and
healing over their bodies. [pray for sick
people here]

Sick people(ongoing issues):

Even as I pray, my body is regenerating
itself, preparing itself for another
productive day. My body is developing
according to Your plan, and health is
being released in all of my cells, nerves,
organs, tissues, bones, bodily systems,
veins, arteries, and muscles. My brain is
processing the information consistent with
Your Word and filtering out everything that
is not of You. In the Name of Jesus and
the power of his blood, I forbid evil spirits
from attaching to me in any way, shape,
or form. They have no place, familiarity or
invitation in my life. They do not enter into
my eyes, my ears, my mind, or my heart.
My spirit man has victory over them all the
days of my life.
Pray for My Extended Family:
PROTECTION
You have set Your love upon me, and
You protect me all the days of my life. I
pray that my face is before the LORD
always, and Your angels encamp around
me and deliver me. The hedge of
protection rests on me, and Your fire shall
be in my spirit. My heart is being
protected from all ungodly influences, and
my innocence is being guarded. Psalm
91:9 If I make the Most High my dwelling
— even the LORD, who is my refuge-
then no harm will befall me, no disaster
will come near me. I pray, LORD, that You
protect me from all hurt, harm, pain, and
danger, and those that mean me ill-will.
When I pass through the waters, You will
be with me; and when I pass through the
rivers, they will not sweep over me. When
I walk through the fire, I will not be
burned; the flames will not set me ablaze.
Isaiah 43:2 I understand that every
relationship is not for me, every person
does not have my best interest in mind,
and all that glitters isn't gold. I plead the
blood of Jesus over my spouse, my home,
my vehicles, my property, my children, my
friends, my neighbors, and my extended
family.
PRIORITIES
In the Name of Jesus and the power of
Your blood, I pray, LORD, that You are
my everything! I have no priority greater
than You all the days of my life. It is
impossible for me to be too heavily
focused on You, and no amount of time I
spend with You is wasted. You are the
creator of time, and I will not worry about
the time I give to You. Psalm 37:23 The
steps of a good man are ordered by the
LORD,And He delights in his way. Order
my steps according to Your Word, and
and design my days according to Your
will. Psalm 86:11 "Teach me your way, O
Lord, and I will walk in your truth; give me
an undivided heart, that I may fear your
name."
Pray for My Involvement in These
Activities:
BLESSINGS
Philippians 4:19 "And my God will meet
all my needs according to his glorious
riches in Christ Jesus." I have been
redeemed from all traces of poverty, and I
rebuke and bind a poverty spirit. You
supply all of my needs, and I am blessed
all the days of my life. In the name of
Jesus I speak abundant harvest into my
life. Proverbs 3:9 I will honor the LORD
with my wealth, with the first fruits of all
my crops;" You own the cattle on a
thousand hills, and You are able to fill all
my barns. The blessings of the LORD
overtake and pursue me all the days of
my life. I speak financial security and
stability over my family, and the perfect
will of God in my life. I am blessed so that
I can bless others! Show me today how I
can use the resources You have given me
to bless someone else.

CHILDREN

children a reward from Him." Psalm 127:3
Thank You for the children You have
blessed us with! In the name of Jesus, I
surrender my children to You, LORD, and
trust You to impart me with the ability and
wisdom to raise them in the fear of the
LORD. I commit to openly receive the
instruction in Your Word on how to
disciple them, train them, love them, and
properly present them before You at that
day. Your calling and purpose will be
fulfilled in them. You guide and direct me
in all matters concerning them. I shall be
careful to represent You before them in
everything that I say or do. I commit to live
holy before them, and set godly examples
for them to follow. I will not be a hypocrite;
I will practice what I preach. I will provide
for them, protect them, and make
whatever sacrifices necessary to ensure
them a godly upbringing. I shall fight to
preserve their innocence and protect them
from the brainwashing of the world. Your
plans for them will come to pass, and the
blessings set out in Your Word shall be
established in them. My children will
arise (grow up) and call me blessed!
Proverbs 31:28
I keep asking You - God of our Lord
Jesus Christ, the glorious Father – that
You give them the Spirit of wisdom and
revelation, so that they may know You
better. I pray also that the eyes of their
hearts may be enlightened in order that
they may know the hope to which You
have called them, the riches of Your
glorious inheritance in the saints, and
Your incomparably great power for us
who believe. That power is like the
working of Your mighty strength, which
You exerted in Christ when You raised
him from the dead and seated him at
Your right hand in the heavenly realms!
Eph. 1:17-20
