Prayer makes strong walls and tear down unwanted walls

I am reminded more and more of the battle I am in as a beleiver in Jesus Christ and as a woman who builds. Ep. 6 clearly lays out our battle isnt against flesh and blood but darkness, the dark principalities of this world, and of evil. As I build my home, the battle I face daily is the battle of the flesh! It is easy the to give into my fleshly desires rather then serve the living God in my building. I am reminded of my need to rise early to build, this is no easy task with a husband, 5 kids, a low thyroid, and one exhausted woman, yet I know I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me, and part of the building is building strong walls in my home through prayer. Walls seperate and protect. I must pray daily against the enemy of pride, selfishness, un godly anger, fear, anxiety, laziness, worry and discouragement. I realize these things destroy the home God so richly desires to build through me. What joy it is to cry out to the living God who hears the prayers of his saints, Christ has made this possible for us, his life, death and ressurection has made enemies friends, and alloweed us to come before the throne of God boldly. Prayer shows a dependency upon God and a vulnerability of self. May prayer be our defense against darkness and Satan as they lurk to devour us, we are weak, Jesus is strong. May we crown him as our captian in temptaions hour and pray and not lose heart while we build for in due season we will reap a harvest as promised. What are you praying about as you build?
