"I searched for a man...who would...stand in the gap."
Ezekiel 22:30
Prayer is war. It is fought by tireless warriors in the darkest of places. The darker the night, the harder they fight. Prayer serves as their night vision goggles, exposing the schemes, and the strategies of the enemy.
When we pray, we stand next to The Champion. He owns the night, and takes the fight to the enemy. So, we pray.
