SINCE WE HAVE ENTERED THE EMBER MONTHS, I WANT TO ENCOURAGE YOU TO DO SOMETHING.
PRAY PSALM 35.âś…
Among all the prayers you will be praying during these Ember Months, I strongly encourage you to make Psalm 35 part of your personal prayer life.
Why am I telling you this?
Because Psalm 35 begins with a powerful cry:
“O Lord, contend with those who contend with me; fight against those who fight against me.”
đźš« Listen carefully.!!!
You may be sitting peacefully in your house, minding your own business, yet you do not know who or what may be opposing your progress.
There may be opposition against your future.
Opposition against your family.
Opposition against your children.
Opposition against your work.
Opposition against your plans.
Opposition against the doors God is opening for you.
Opposition against the blessings you have been praying for.
Some opposition you may recognize.
Some you may never see.
This is why you must pray.
But remember: we are not praying because we hate anybody. We are not asking you to fight people physically, insult anyone, accuse anyone or seek revenge.
NO.
Our battle belongs to God.
We are simply saying:
“Father, whoever or whatever rises to oppose what You have ordained for my life, arise and defend me.”
During these Ember Months, do not live in fear.
PRAY.
Pray with understanding.
Pray with faith.
Pray with the Word of God.
I have prepared this prayer inspired by Psalm 35 to help you pray the Psalm meditatively, speak the Word of God over your life, and stand spiritually against every opposition that may rise against you, your family, your future and your blessings.
Take your time with this prayer.
Do not just read it.
PRAY IT.
MEDITATE ON IT.
DECLARE IT OVER YOUR LIFE.
And after praying, leave the battle in God's hands.
Now, let us pray.
PRAYER INSPIRED BY PSALM 35 🚫🙏
O Lord, contend with those who contend with me;
fight against those who fight against me.
O God, arise and defend me.
Be my shield and my protector.
Do not allow those who seek my downfall to triumph over me.
Lord, defend my cause.
Let every trap secretly set against me be exposed.
Let every false accusation be put to shame.
Let every work done in darkness to harm me lose its power.
I refuse to fight with hatred or revenge.
Lord, fight for me.
When people speak against me without cause, be my Defender.
When lies rise against me, let Your truth speak for me.
When they plan my downfall, guard my steps.
When they seek to close doors against me, open before me doors that no one can shut.
Lord, those who repay me evil for good, I place them into Your hands.
Those who rejoice over my difficulties, I place them into Your hands.
Those who speak evil words against my life, I place them into Your hands.
Vindicate me, O Lord, according to Your righteousness.
Do not allow injustice to have the final word over my life.
Let those who desire my peace and well-being rejoice with me.
My soul shall say:
“Lord, who is like You?
You deliver the weak,
and You defend those who put their trust in You.”
I will not allow fear to rule my heart.
I will not allow anger to transform me.
I will not repay evil with evil.
My battle belongs to the Lord.
Father, protect my home, my family, my work, my plans, and everything You have placed into my hands.
Preserve me from every visible and invisible trap.
Give me discernment to recognize what is not good for me and wisdom to act rightly.
Let every door You have opened remain open.
Let every plan that is according to Your will come to fulfillment.
Let truth triumph over lies, let light triumph over darkness, and let Your peace reign in my life.
Even in the midst of the battle, I will choose to praise You.
My tongue shall proclaim Your righteousness.
My mouth shall declare Your praise all day long.
Lord Jesus, I place this b.attle into Your hands.
Contend with those who contend with me.
Fight against those who fight against me.
Be my shield, my refuge, and my Defender.
I renounce revenge, and I leave justice in Your hands according to Your will.
The Lord is my Defender.
The Lord is my Help.
The Lord fights for me.
I will not be afraid.
In the name of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Children of the Wind,
During these Ember Months, keep Psalm 35 close to you.
And make this declaration in the comments:
“Lord, contend with whatever contends with me. Fight against whatever fights against Your purpose for my life. Defend my family, my future and my blessings. My battle belongs to You. In Jesus’ name. Amen.”
Shalom,
Son of the Wind.
