50 MFM Powerful Prayer Points to Pray Before Prayer for Divine Protection, Open Doors, Favor, Breakthrough and Victory in Every Situation
Prayer Focus
Prayer Focus: To prepare the heart before prayer by surrendering every situation to God, seeking divine protection, wisdom, favor, open doors, breakthrough, deliverance from obstacles, spiritual strength, and victory according to God’s will.
Bible Exhortation
Prayer is not merely an emergency button. It is fellowship with God.
Before you begin to pray about any situation, first remember who God is.
He is the One who protects, directs, provides, strengthens, delivers, opens doors, gives wisdom, and sustains His people.
Psalm 121 reminds us that our help comes from the Lord.
James 1:5 teaches us to ask God for wisdom.
Philippians 4:6–7 teaches us to bring our requests before God with thanksgiving rather than allowing anxiety to dominate our hearts.
Therefore, before entering an intense prayer session, surrender the situation completely to God.
Do not pray from panic alone.
Pray from faith.
Do not make fear your foundation.
Make God’s character your foundation.
Do not assume that every closed door is an attack.
Some closed doors are protection.
Some delays are opportunities for preparation.
Some disappointments are divine redirections.
Some battles require perseverance.
Some situations require practical action alongside prayer.
Therefore, ask God not only for open doors, but also for wisdom to recognize which doors should be opened and which should remain closed.
Ask for protection, but also walk wisely.
Ask for favor, but also conduct yourself with integrity.
Ask for breakthrough, but also remain diligent.
Ask for victory, but also surrender the outcome to God’s wisdom.
Prophetic Illustration
Imagine a traveler preparing to enter an unfamiliar city.
Before leaving, the traveler checks the route, prepares supplies, studies the destination, and asks someone trustworthy for direction.
The journey may contain unexpected turns.
There may be roads that are closed.
There may be obstacles along the way.
But the traveler does not have to know everything in advance.
The traveler needs the right guide.
Prayer is an invitation for God to guide the journey.
When you pray before confronting a situation, you are saying:
“Lord, I do not know everything that lies ahead, but You do. Go before me. Protect me from what I cannot see. Give me wisdom concerning what I should do. Open the doors that are right for me, close the doors that would harm me, and give me grace to walk faithfully through every circumstance.”
