Warfare prayer from Lamentations 3

Father, let your enemies see affliction by the rod of your wrath. Lead them to walk in darkness and not in your light. Turn your hand against them time and time again throughout the day. Age their flesh and break their bones. Besiege them with bitterness and woe. Set your enemies in dark places like the dead of long ago.


In the name of Jesus, hedge them in so that they cannot get out. Make their chains heavy, even when they cry and shout. In the name of Jesus, block the enemy's ways with hewn stone and make their paths crooked.


In the name of Jesus, be like a bear lying in wait, like a lion waiting in ambush. Turn aside their ways and tear them to pieces. In Jesus' name, make them desolate and bend your bow, setting them up as a target for the arrow. In Jesus' name, cause the arrows of your quiver to pierce their loins.


Let them become a ridicule and a taunting song all day. Fill your enemies with bitterness and make them drink wormwood. In Jesus' name, Father, break your enemies' teeth with gravel and cover them with ashes. Move them far from peace so they forget prosperity, till they say, "My strength, my hope, have perished from the Lord." In Jesus name, Amen.
