PRAYER WARRIORS~
Wrestling in Prayer~Romans 15:30 and Ephesians 6:12~
 
Romans 15:30
30.) Now I beg you, brethren, through the Lord Jesus Christ, and through the love of the Spirit, that you strive together with me in prayers to God for me.
Ephesians 6:12
12.) For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principles, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places.
In Romans 15:30 the Apostle Paul asks for other believers to (strive in prayer) with Him. In other words He did not just want them to say a quick prayer non-nonchalantly, but to spend time and make real effort in their prayers.
In Ephesians 6:12 we are told that we do not (wrestle) against flesh and blood, but against principalities!  In both instances the words 'strive' and 'wrestle' are used for prayer. As Prayer Warriors your prayer will sometimes entail a real spiritual battle; with striving and wrestling with the enemy. You might have to spend hours at a time in prayer, especially in certain circumstances. I do not want you to neglect your family, so if you know that your prayer will be like this, you should arrange to have someone help with childcare. And you should plan some special time with your family, at a later date, or time. I believe that the Lord will respect that.
Ephesians also tells you how to equip yourself for this kind of spiritual battle. For this information you should read Ephesians 6:10-18. And interestingly enough in Ephesians 6:18 we are told to:
18.) praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints-
So as Prayer Warriors, you are to strive together in prayer, wrestle with spiritual principalities, against powers, against rulers of darkness, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. You are to pray in supplication in the Spirit, being watchful with perseverance and dressed in the Armor of God which is girding your waist with truth, putting on the breastplate of righteousness, shodding your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
and taking the shield of faith, the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.
You will need all of this armor in your prayer, and everyday dealings. I believe that I might even explore this further and at a later date, discuss this more deeply, but for now this is enough. Do not forget to pray in the name of Jesus, and pleading the blood of Jesus.
