6:18 Pray in the Spirit. Our warfare against Satan’s spiritual forces calls for serious and continued prayer. This means praying “in the Spirit,” “on all occasions,” “with all kinds of prayers,” “for all the saints,” “and always keep on praying.” Prayer is not to be viewed just as another spiritual weapon, but as the very act of battle itself as we work together with God to gain the victory for ourselves and others. Failing to pray diligently, with all kinds of prayer in all situations, is to surrender
