Lord, we come to You in Your word.
Speak to us.
May Your word become living and operative in us.
We take Your word by means of all prayer and petition so that the word may become the sword of the Spirit.
Oh Lord, keep us praying over Your word.
Save us from dealing with the enemy outside of us directly, and save us from trying to deal with the adversary within us face to face.
We just want to pray and read Your word so that the sword of the Spirit would slay the enemy outside of us and defeat the adversary within us.
