Stong God,
We praise you for your perfection and flawlessness. You are our shield and refuge, our rock and security. You prepare us, your Church, with strength and skill for battle and you sustain us in this life. Give us hearts that hunger in prayer to war for your Church and her people. Give us courage to stand up to this world's evil. Give us victory as we fight forces of fear, hatred, division, destruction, violence, and anger. Help us to use mightily the weapons of war you have given us in the Helmet of Salvation, Breastplate of Righteousness, Belt of TRUTH, Shoes of Peace, Shield of Faith, and Sword of the Spirit, the Word of God. Let us not grow weary in this war with the enemy of our souls, but let us courageously fight on, knowing you have won the ultimate victory and our call is to be faithful and obedient to you, our Rock. We praise you who rescues us from our enemies. We praise you among the nations as our Victor, our Strength, and our Avenger.
In Jesus name we pray for victory over our - and your - enemies. Amen!

As for God, his way is perfect:
The Lord’s word is flawless;
he shields all who take refuge in him.
31
For who is God besides the Lord?
And who is the Rock except our God?
32
It is God who arms me with strength
and keeps my way secure.
33
He makes my feet like the feet of a deer;
he causes me to stand on the heights.
34
He trains my hands for battle;
my arms can bend a bow of bronze.
35
You make your saving help my shield,
and your right hand sustains me;
your help has made me great.
36
You provide a broad path for my feet,
so that my ankles do not give way.
37
I pursued my enemies and overtook them;
I did not turn back till they were destroyed.
38
I crushed them so that they could not rise;
they fell beneath my feet.
39
You armed me with strength for battle;
you humbled my adversaries before me.
40
You made my enemies turn their backs in flight,
and I destroyed my foes.
41
They cried for help, but there was no one to save them—
to the Lord, but he did not answer.
42
I beat them as fine as windblown dust;
I trampled them like mud in the streets.
43
You have delivered me from the attacks of the people;
you have made me the head of nations.
People I did not know now serve me,
44
foreigners cower before me;
as soon as they hear of me, they obey me.
45
They all lose heart;
they come trembling from their strongholds.
46
The Lord lives! Praise be to my Rock!
Exalted be God my Savior!
47
He is the God who avenges me,
who subdues nations under me,
48
who saves me from my enemies.
You exalted me above my foes;
from a violent man you rescued me.
49
Therefore I will praise you, Lord, among the nations;
I will sing the praises of your name.
50
He gives his king great victories;
he shows unfailing love to his anointed,
to David and to his descendants forever.
