The Weapon of Prayer Eph 6:18-20 – That when we pray, we stay alert, watchful, and we persevere – We support our spiritual leaders in prayer Prayer in Jer. 33:1-3. – God wants us to call to Him and listen for His response with a submissive spirit. 1 Cor. 2:11-16 – We should pray with authority, like Jesus, Elijah or Jehosphaphat James 5:16b-18 – The fervent prayer of a man who obeys his God accomplishes much
