Dear Jesus, I come to You with a heart longing for Your Holy Spirit. Jesus, You know how weak I am and easily tripped up. But You promised us Your Spirit, and I need him now, and I trust that the Spirit helps me in my weakness and intercedes for me with groanings too deep for words.1
Lord, I need Your Spirit to guide me, teach me, and remind me of all that You have said.2 Just as Your Spirit hovered over the waters at creation, I ask that He hover over my life, bringing order, peace, and direction.3
Jesus, You promised that when the Helper comes, He would bear witness about You,4 and so I ask for a fresh outpouring of Your Spirit. I desire fellowship with the Holy Spirit, to experience the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God daily.5 Fill me with Your power, love, and selfcontrol, reminding me that You did not give me a spirit of fear.6
Help me to not grieve Him, knowing that I am sealed for the day of redemption.7 I acknowledge that my body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. I invite You to dwell within me, giving life to my mortal body and renewing my spirit.8 Teach me to pray according to Your will, trusting Your Spirit knows my needs and intercedes on my behalf.9
Father, I pray for a heart full of love, for without love, all my efforts and gifts are in vain.10 As I wait on You, renew my strength like eagles,11 and may Your Spirit empower me to fulfill the plans You have for me, plans of hope and a future.12 In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
