Of course. This is a beautiful and essential prayer. To ask for a blessing upon your "spiritual man" is to ask for the growth, strength, and flourishing of the part of you that is connected to God—your inner self, made alive by the Holy Spirit.
Here is a prayer for the blessing of your spiritual man.
---
Bless My Spiritual Man
Father God, I come before You now,
To Your throne of grace,I humbly bow.
I ask not for wealth,nor for earthly gain,
But for the part of me that will remain.
Bless my spiritual man.
Strengthen him with power through Your Spirit in my inner being.
(Ephesians 3:16)
When my flesh is weak and my soul is weary,
Let my spirit stand,bold and unfeary.
Fortify him against the enemy's schemes,
Anchor him in Your life-giving streams.
Nourish him with the pure milk of Your Word,
(1 Peter 2:2)
Let every line and every promise heard
Sink deep into his core,a holy seed,
Producing fruit in thought,in word, in deed.
Sharpen his senses to know Your voice,
To make Your will his only choice.
Let him discern between truth and lies,
And see the world through heaven's eyes.
(Solid food is for the mature,who by constant use have trained themselves to distinguish good from evil. - Hebrews 5:14)
Enlarge his capacity for faith and love,
Set his affections on things above.
(Colossians 3:2)
Give him a hunger for righteousness,
A thirst for holiness,a desire to bless.
Clothe him in the full armor of God,
(Ephesians 6:11)
The belt of truth,the Spirit's sword.
The shield of faith,the helmet of salvation,
To stand firm in every situation.
Renew him day by day, Lord, I pray,
(2 Corinthians 4:16)
Though my outer self may waste away.
Let my inner self be refreshed and bright,
A beacon of Your glorious light.
May my spiritual man rise up and lead,
Planting Your kingdom,a holy seed.
May he be so strong,so vital, so true,
That all of my life reflects only You.
Bless my spiritual man.
For Your glory and for my good.
In the mighty name of Jesus,I pray,
Amen.
