“Watching is a vital part of praying. God wants us to seek out the holes in the walls of nations, churches, and individual lives. Just as David and Joshua found out why God’s blessing had dried up, it is our job as prophetic intercessors today to find these gaps and fill them with prayer.” – Murray Dueck

PRAYER is like breathing to me
Here are some of my favourite words of life and battle songs I use to pray for various circumstances.

I like written prayers to focus myself, but I often just pray in the flow of the Holy Spirit!
