The four watches outline
Strategic times of prayer
- Ps.55:16-17 – Prayer Evening and morning and at noon, I will pray, and cry aloud, And He shall hear my voice
- Isa 62:6 – They shall never hold their peace day or night.
- Psalm 74:16 – The day is Yours, the night also is Yours
Declare both the day and the night belong to God. Both were created for God’s purposes. The Devil wants to program the day and the night to work against you instead of for you. Day and night are created to be blessing to you. Claim them for God’s purposes.
