Prayer as Battle

You and I are called to battle.  We are called to engage in a great campaign, outlined in scripture, against the world, the flesh, and the devil.  While we absolutely should make are requests known to God, we should be mindful of the fight that is before us.  We battle our own temptations, we battle the allure of the world's values, and of course the evil one.  Let's look at prayer through this lens and see how it might enrich our prayer life.
