These spiritual warfare prayers are based on the full armor of God which is explained in Ephesians 6:10-18. As believers, we are given the Belt of Truth, the Breastplate of Righteousness, the Shoes of Peace, the Shield of Faith, the Helmet of Salvation, and the Sword of the Spirit which is the Word of God. These spiritual warfare prayers will incorporate each piece of our armor. Before presenting the prayers, I will share an introduction. Almost every day in my personal devotions, I physically do the movements to put on the full armor of God. I act like the pieces are visible and material. As I put on each piece, I say words that show my respect for God and words that will ignite my determination to follow God. I also speak about my firm opposition to the plans of the enemy and his forces. The reason I choose to do this so often is because this activity always gives me a great blessing. This site has a Bible devotion about the Full Armor of God that will complement these prayers. We also have a swashbuckling tale based on the "Sword of the Spirit."
Father God,
You are awe-inspiring. You are magnificent and mighty. Your name holds more authority than I could ever conceive. You are stronger than I could ever dream. You are wiser than I could ever comprehend. You are more loving and compassionate than I could ever imagine. You are God. You are above all.
Thank you for the powerful armor that you give to me.
My shield is a shield of confidence that you, God, are able to take care of me. I will continually remind myself of your faithfulness. Lord, I will be unwavering in my devotion to you this day.

The term "spiritual warfare prayers" reminds us that we are soldiers of the Lord. Spiritual warfare prayers are created to get us ready to be totally obedient to God, and to stir up our determination to be totally resistant to the enemy and his forces. Note I am not saying that anyone can be totally obedient to God or totally resistant to the enemy but I am saying that we have to aim for that goal if we want to make real improvements in our life.
James 4:7 says, Submit yourself to the Lord, resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
These Spiritual warfare prayers are created with James 4:7 in mind, because we all want to increase submission to the Lord and resistance to the devil.
