February Targeted Devotional Prayers

Lord, we dwell in Your secret place under Your mighty shadow where we can live deeply connected to Your affection and love. We choose to put all of our focus on being alive to You rather than on our external issues. 

Our desire is to align our thinking with Yours because in every circumstance and situation of our lives, we want to see things the way You see things. We ensure our thoughts are aligned with our core values. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist it bow in obedience to You. 

Holy Spirit, we make a commitment to You today to invite You into thoughts that challenge our faith, hope, joy, destiny or trust in You. We push the pause button and invite You to come into our thought patterns. In You we get to take all negative thoughts captive and turn them into better thoughts. 

Thank You for giving us Your thoughts that are so much better than ours. We love You Lord. Amen.

Lord, we surrender and submit first to You and then we resist the devil who will flee from us. We move our heart closer and closer to You knowing You will come even closer to us. We want to know You in all areas of our lives on the good days and the bad days. 

Your mercy and compassion for us is new every morning. Every morning we get to wake up feeling Your joy over us as we sense Your smile. Every day we start from a place of being absolutely and completely accepted as Your Beloved. We choose to put off any negativity, stress or fear each evening so it isn’t allowed to accumulate. We trust You for good sleep knowing You have new mercies and provision for the day waiting when we awake. 

We do not perform for acceptance because we are already acceptable to You through Jesus. We are simply learning to live in our acceptance. When we live in the truth of our acceptance, peace becomes our constant companion. You will never leave us. You will never lie or forget about us. You will never leave us without comfort or mercy. You never grow weary and You never fail to keep Your promises. 

We stand on the truth of who You are. Amen.

Our greatest struggles create pathways to deeper intimacy with you. When we are weary and carrying heavy burdens, we can come to you and you refresh us because you are our oasis. We invite you to come and dress us in your favorite thoughts. We allow our minds to be saturated and rooted in how you see us. We capture, like prisoners of war, every thought and insist it bow in obedience to you. We protect our mind as a temple built to invite you in. 

We love your Divine Exchange program. You give us the oil of joy instead of discouragement. You give us freedom instead of bondage. You give us the spirit of gladness instead of mourning. Everything you are doing in our life is about our freedom. We turn our hearts towards you and let go of any thoughts opposing you or your Kingdom as we allow you to make divine exchanges.

Thank you, for all you offer us in that exchange. Amen.

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 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.

Lord, May the power of the 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. 

Thank you for rejoicing over us with gladness and singing. For quieting 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 filled with gratitude. 

Amen.
