PRAYER - being watchful to this end with all perseverance..
REFERENCE: Ephesians 6:10-19
- Watch and pray, lest you enter into temptation. (Matthew 26:41)
- Take ye head, watch and pray; for you do not know when the time is. (Mark 13:33)
- Therefore, let us not sleep, as others do, but let us watch and be sober. (1 Thessalonians 5:6)
-Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. (1 Peter 5:8)
If we equip ourselves with the armor of God, it is still imperative that we keep an ongoing connection to Him through prayer. We are to pray continuously and without ceasing (1 Thessalonians 5:17) so we can develop and maintain a connection with God.
Since we don't know how to pray as we should, we should always pray in the Spirit, so the Holy Spirit of God can make intercession for us (Romans 8:26).
