Certain prayer equips us with what we need to succeed.

God sends the Spirit of truth to guide and lead us into all the truth and show us things to come. Having a guide showing us the truth is invaluable for our success in everything we do, not just in prayer.

Father, we thank you in the name of Jesus that you send your Spirit of truth to guide and lead us into all the truth and show us things to come. We pray that you send forth your Spirit of truth to guide and lead us into all the truth and show us things to come. (John 14:26; 16:13)

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge and understanding. Without it we haven't even starting knowing and understanding the things we need to measure according to truth, interact with God, or produce results in prayer. 

Father, we thank you in the name of Jesus for fear of the Lord. We choose fear of the Lord and ask you for it. (Proverbs 1:7, 23-33)

God makes his armor available to us so we can withstand the forces that come against us to attempt to defeat and destroy us.

Father, we thank you in the name of Jesus for your armor. We put on your armor: truth, righteousness, preparation of the Gospel of peace, faith, salvation, and the sword of your spirit.(Ephesians 6:10-17)

Spiritual growth is the growth of the power that works in us to produce results in prayer.
