A prayerful christains is always on the offensive. Prayers breaks strongholds and barriers in one's lives. God's purpose and plan for us is made clearer through prayer when we seek him. You must be conversant with the word of God for your prayers to do exploits. For you to be a spiritual warrior, you must be conversant with the scriptures and its applications. Instead of complaining about your challenges, prayerfully talk to God about it and He will grant you answers.
