Prayer Warrior Gratitude

Gratitude is a delicate state of mind. “A quality of being thankful, ready to show appreciation and to return kindness.”
A need for prayer is requested.
Words to the Lord ascend in compassion and love.
An answer is given and received time passes, and the waiting continues.
Where is the attitude of gratitude?
Where are the words of kindness?
Where is the giving of thanks?
Always give thanks to the Lord for His goodness.
But also take time to remember the warrior who talked to the Lord on your behalf.
Let us weep, sit, commiserate, and rejoice together, lest we forget to be grateful to those who pray for our needs.

And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? There are not found that returned to give glory to God save this stranger. Luke 17: 17 and 18

Once the Lord lays something on the heart, conviction mounts, the Holy Spirit impresses on the warrior to follow through in prayer.

The Prayer Warrior Requests

What should the warrior pray for when there are no prayer requests?
Should the warrior wait for the phone to ring, for a knock at the door, or divine intervention?
How does the warrior know when there is a need?
The Bible says, in all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your path. He knows the needs of all His children and all the creatures of this earth. The Lord is in control of the world economy and the state of every country. He allows leaders to gain power while at the same time topples mighty regimes with a single wave of his hand. God never sleeps, never checks out, and is always present in sickness, and health.
The God we serve is all-knowing, all-seeing, all present, full of compassion, mercy, and love. He is touched by the feelings of our infirmities, making it easy for the warrior to ask the Lord for a prayer assignment. Then, whatever the lot doled out, the warrior must accept it in faith and understanding.
Once the Lord lays something on the heart, conviction mounts, then the Holy Spirit impresses on the warrior to follow through in prayer.

With every single prayer uttered, the warrior is recharged, revived and ready for battle again

Prayer Warrior in Need of Prayer

The mission of a prayer warrior is to pray for others.
They fight for others by going before the problem and bringing it up to the Lord with all boldness. It is their calling; to be selfless, thinking about others, making the sacrifice to serve others when they too may be in need.


In the book of Ephesians chapter 6, we must put on the full armor of God so we can withstand the fiery darts of the devil. We do not wrestle against flesh and blood but against principalities, against powers, against rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. The strength of the warrior lies with the Lord. As the warrior prays and becomes dependent on God, power from God sustains the warrior in the evil day.


As a doctor needing a doctor when he or she is ill, it is not unusual for the warrior to falter in battle and suffer the scars of many wounds. Tragedy, sickness, loss of employment, insurmountable stress, the occasional unbelief, and doubt may fell the warrior from time to time. It is not unusual as warriors are human and are also subject to all the machinations of life. Therefore, they are in great need of support.


Unfortunately, much like the poor man who saved the city cited in the book of Ecclesiastes chapter 9 verse 15, and was forgotten, so too we forget the warrior in our devotions. With every single prayer uttered, the warrior is recharged, revived, refreshed, and ready for battle once again.

He called those things which be not as though they were. and Abraham staggered not as the promise of God through unbelief but was strong in faith.

Prayer Warrior Attitude Of Positivity

Hope in the face of disasters, failures, and suffering can be sometimes nonexistent
There is no looking away from what will come, no hiding from the inevitable.
Sorrow seeks only darkness, blinds the eyes from hope.
But if not for a simple grain of faith, we as humans of adversities would be miserable.
A Warrior must exercise positivity when the hands of negativity squeeze the living daylights out of the pure life we live.
As sure as the air we breathe, darkness always strive against the light.
Once, there is nothing, twice and still the same, the temptation to give in rides the Warrior hard.
Over and over, mere words ascend to heaven.
Once again, the outcome remains the same.
The burning desire to bring an end to prayer becomes resolute.
How much longer can the Warrior go on?
The battle cry of the desperate heart is soon.
The dawn of newness is at hand as the night turns into day.
There is victory when the Warrior concedes the battle as the Lord’s.

God who called those things which be not as though they were. Abraham staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. And being fully persuaded that, what He had promised, He was able to perform. Romans 4: 17, 20 and 21.

Prayer Warrior The Servant

Each Warrior is accepted before the Lord as they approach the throne of grace in boldness.

Yet To Be # 140

The Warrior is a servant of God completing duties for Him in willing obedience.
Either male or female, there is no respecter of persons for this office.
Whoever wields the sword of scripture with great accuracy, reverence and faith should have the strength to kneel and supplicate the ears of the Lord.
There is no race or battle between the sexes to see who has more faith or has more power in prayer.
Each Warrior is accepted before the Lord as they approach the throne of grace in boldness.
The Lord hears every prayer and having an unction with Him, every Warrior is equally loved and sustained.

There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male or female; for you are all one in Christ Jesus. Galatians 3:29

whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven.

Prayer Warrior Testifies

The Warrior is a witness of God’s goodness.
The Warrior is not ashamed to be called a child of God and stands firm in the faith and the knowledge of the Lord.
The Warrior testifies in word and deed.

But whosoever shall deny me before men, him will I also deny before my Father which is in heaven. Matthew 10:30

The warrior needs to draw near to him in simple and willing obedience.

Prayer Warrior Remembers

The Remembrance Feast or the Lord’s Supper is not a duty and should not be such.
It is a privilege. An answer to a dying request.
It is not a command.
It is not a religious service.
We do not follow systemic rituals or tradition; we follow our Saviour.
As followers of Christ, we strive to be like Him because He is our example.
His words mapped in the Holy Scriptures set instructions for us to follow.
We do not follow any earthly man or system. Called, we use the gifts he bestowed on us.
In war-torn areas of the world, many followers of Christ remember him in secret, hidden away for fear of discovery yet, bravely take precious opportunity to worship the Father and contemplate the Son.
A good Warrior must take time to remember the One they work for and who controls all things.
The Warrior needs to draw near to him in simple and willing obedience.

He took bread and gave thanks and brake it and gave unto them saying, this is my body which is given for you this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper saying, this cup is the new testament in my blood which is shed for you. Luke 22: 19 and 20

For as often as you eat this bread and drink this cup you do show the Lord’s death till he come. 1 Corinthians 11:26

Who being the brightness of his glory and the express image of his person.

Prayer Warrior Praises

We praise the Lord for what He did, and for who He is.
The living Son of God.
Who was with God before the beginning, before the worlds were made.
The Son of God’s love, His delight.
We praise the Son of God for becoming that perfect Passover lamb, the perfect sacrifice for the sins of the world.
Whereby, we can call God, the Holy One, our Father as well.
The blood of Jesus the only true Son of God covers us allowing us to approach the Father in all reverence and peace.
Praise the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ, and thank God for His great love to us.

Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high. Hebrews 1:3

Prayer Warrior Gives Thanks.

The Thankful Poor by Henry Ossawa Tanner.

The Thankful Poor – 1894

In the picture above, Henry Ossawa Tanner depicts a elderly man and a young boy sitting with heads bowed.  The room is simple, the table is sparse with little if any food, yet these warriors of prayer are thankful for even the little they have.  

A warrior prays, believes, and gives thanks as if it is already received.
Accepting in all certainty that God is faithful.
We trust Him for guidance when we cannot see what lies ahead.
Not knowing what will be but believing it will work out for our good.
Then in all absolute confidence, we can give thanks.

Now therefore, our God, we thank thee, and praise they glorious name. 1 Chronicles 29:13

My sheep hear my voice and I know them and they follow me

Prayer Warrior Hears His Voice

Amidst all the noise and clattering of words, there are many voices to be heard.
The good voice that gives advice and comfort in a time of need.
The kind voice that claims all is well.
The angry voice that disputes a wrong.
Then, the vengeful voice that demands dark justice.
Strange voices are heard far too often, and yet above their deafening cacophony, His voice rings strong and sure in the ears of His children.
Those who are not His, have no ears to hear, no hands to lift in praise and no heart to understand the whispering surety of his words.
Words that call out to us in the day, in the night, so many times loud and clear, enough to drown the noise into silence.
And we know his voice when we listen for its tonality, its texture, and its vernacular, a dialect belonging solely to him.
A gentle sound saying, “You, child of mine, come, and let us two go forward.”

And your ears shall hear a word behind you saying, this is the way, walk you in it when you turn to the right hand and when you turn to the left. Isaiah 30:21

My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. John 10:27
