August Targeted Devotional Prayers

May the power of Holy Spirit continually surround our lives with His super abundance until we radiate with hope. You are our inspiration and fountain of hope. We invite You to fill us to overflowing with uncontainable joy and perfect peace as we trust in You. We trust in You completely rather than in our own opinions. With all our heart we rely on You to guide us, knowing You will lead us in every decision we make. 

You rejoice over us with gladness and singing. You quiet us with Your love. We feel safe in Your lovingkindness. We rest in Your love for us and use that rest as a weapon against the enemy. Thank You for our come-alongside friend and helper the Holy Spirit who comforts, strengthens, encourages, trains and develops us. We lay aside our opinions and choose to relax and rest in Your promises. We are thankful for Your gracious provision in every situation we face. There is nothing that can separate us from Your love.

We are Your great love, Your Beloved whom You have set Your heart upon. We enter into the depths of Your affection by permission, never performance. It is Your perception of us that is going to increasingly govern our heart. You have a mighty all-encompassing compassion for us. You understand our struggles, our weaknesses and in Your great love You have set aside an ocean of grace and peace for us. We walk towards You seeing, believing and yielding as we encounter Your huge heart for us.

You have set aside a place for us in the Spirit to experience and encounter an increase in rest and refreshment in You. When we sit enthroned under Your shadow, we are hidden in Your strength. It is Your help that holds us, Your stronghold that shelters us. Thank You for this Secret Place You have established inside of us where You sit enthroned in our lives and we are hidden in You. Holy Spirit, each time we feel the external kingdom pressing on our life, we ask You to carry us into the cloud-filled chamber of God’s Presence inside of us where we commune with our Beloved Jesus and are hidden in Him.

We trust in You completely Lord and do not rely on our own opinions. With all our heart we rely on You to guide us and lead us wherever we go. You are drawing us to fix our eyes only on You, to trust You with all our heart as we put our security firmly in our testimony of who You are for us. 

We lift up our head and prepare the way for You, our King of Glory to come in. We thank You for laying Your ridiculous favor on our lives. We thank You for Your ridiculous favor in jobs, finances and relationships. Thank You for never leaving us alone or loosening Your grip on our lives. You walk with us through the good and the bad, the mountain tops and the valley lows. 

We ask to sense Your presence tangibly. Take us to a place where Your presence so overwhelms us that our circumstances diminish in power and Your comfort lifts us above those things robbing us of peace. We refuse to give up on Your love for us and we firmly fix our eyes on You Jesus.

Holy Spirit, we surrender and yield to You so You can produce Your fruit within us. We invite You to produce in and through us a joy that overflows, a peace that subdues, and a patience that endures. 

We know You give without measure so we ask with anticipation for more of Your Spirit living in and through us. Increase our capacity for intimacy with You. Fill us with Your joy and cause our hearts to overflow with laughter. When we are standing in You, stress and worry disappear and we become more enamored with Your great love for us.

We have such a passion to hear Your voice. Sensitize our ears to hear You. Help us to not only recognize Your voice but to discern Your meaning behind the words. Lead us where You would have us go Lord, we’re listening.

Lord, we invite you to breathe fresh courage into us. Holy Spirit strengthen us deep within our souls and empower us with the Grace to overcome every circumstance we face. We choose to stay in the battle even when it feels like what we’re facing is bigger than us. We declare that where we feel weak, You are making us strong. 

We choose to be strong and of good courage. We will not be afraid or dismayed because You Lord are with us no matter where we are or what we face. You wouldn’t command us to walk without fear unless You had already given us that ability. Your grace enables and empowers us with the courage to overcome every external pressure.

We guard our heart, the wellspring of our life, and choose to live in Your courage. When we make this choice to live out of Your courage, all the resources of Heaven back us up. We love You Jesus and are so thankful to walk in courage with You.
