Prayer Guard USA Order of Battle: Which Battle Fronts Should We Pray? (Version 1)

How should we pray and what should we pray for—every day, weekly, monthly, and so on—and do so effectively? The Order of Battle is the answer to that question.

First of all, there are areas or locations where we fight. Those are our areas or locations of our battle (operation). Take a look below in order to see what these are specifically.

Then, there are the Battle Fronts (or waves). What are these? Our prayer lives consist of people, circumstances, places, the church, and the unbelievers/lost. Take a look below in order to see what these are specifically.

There are units of prayer within each of the Battle Fronts. Take a look below in order to see what these are specifically.
