When you have a long committed history with Christ, you have testimonies of demons defeated, deliverance from enemies and catastrophes that you’ve averted. You’ve sought the Lord and he has answered. This battle testing gives you a God-confidence that he will continue to work in your favor. This prayer from Psalm 71 gives the mature warrior the language of confidence and supposition. If this prayer ministers to you then please share it with your friends. 

Prayer

Lord, I’ve faced many enemies, and You’ve always been my strength. As I face this upcoming battle I know You’ll stand by me. In my old age, You won’t forget about me! My future attackers will be cast upon the dung hill like my previous enemies! With every victory I’ll continue to tell of Your salvation. There’s no hearsay in my stories, the marvelous deeds I give testimony to are ones I have experienced myself! Increase my honor as a problem solver and survivor so I can tell of Your glory and power! I long to pass steel-spine faith to the next generation. Lord, right now I praise You in faith! I shout for joy because I know victory is on the way. Thank You, Lord, for answered prayer!

Psalms 71:1-24

In you, Lord, I have taken refuge; let me never be put to shame. In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me; turn your ear to me and save me. Be my rock of refuge, to which I can always go; give the command to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked, from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel. For you have been my hope, Sovereign Lord, my confidence since my youth. From birth I have relied on you; you brought me forth from my mother’s womb. I will ever praise you. I have become a sign to many; you are my strong refuge. My mouth is filled with your praise, declaring your splendor all day long.

Do not cast me away when I am old; do not forsake me when my strength is gone. For my enemies speak against me; those who wait to kill me conspire together. They say, “God has forsaken him; pursue him and seize him, for no one will rescue him.” Do not be far from me, my God; come quickly, God, to help me. May my accusers perish in shame; may those who want to harm me be covered with scorn and disgrace. As for me, I will always have hope; I will praise you more and more. My mouth will tell of your righteous deeds, of your saving acts all day long—though I know not how to relate them all. I will come and proclaim your mighty acts, Sovereign Lord; I will proclaim your righteous deeds, yours alone. Since my youth, God, you have taught me, and to this day I declare your marvelous deeds. Even when I am old and gray, do not forsake me, my God, till I declare your power to the next generation, your mighty acts to all who are to come.

Your righteousness, God, reaches to the heavens, you who have done great things. Who is like you, God? Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again; from the depths of the earth you will again bring me up. You will increase my honor and comfort me once more. I will praise you with the harp for your faithfulness, my God; I will sing praise to you with the lyre, Holy One of Israel. My lips will shout for joy when I sing praise to you— I whom you have delivered. My tongue will tell of your righteous acts all day long, for those who wanted to harm me have been put to shame and confusion.
