Prayer for Victory: Praying Through Psalm 20

How to Pray for Victory

A key to effective prayer is to pray according to God’s will. 

Especially when we’re desperate, we have a tendency to pray our own will without any regard to God’s will. It’s understandable, natural. When we’re on the brink of defeat, we grasp at anything that seems like it might help us immediately. 

But God’s ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:8-9). His victory strategy looks a whole lot better than anything we can come up with on our own. 

So, how can we pray according to His will? How can we know that our prayer for victory is in line with His plan? 

The answer is in His Word. He has shown us His will in the Bible. 

That’s why one of my favorite ways to pray is verse-by-verse through a passage of Scripture.
