Cover Me - Her Emotions

Boaz Ministries

The Lord redeems the soul of His servants, and none of those who trust in Him shall be condemned. Psalm 34:22

Lord, help me not to react inappropriately or withdraw from my wife emotionally when I don’t understand her.  Give me patience and sensitivity, and may prayer be my FIRST reaction to her emotions and not a last resort.  Although I’m aware that I cannot meet my wife’s every emotional need, I know that You can. I am not trying to absolve myself from meeting any of her needs, but I know that some of them are intended to be met only by You.  I pray that You would fill her with Your peace and joy today. Amen.

Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. Romans 12:2

Lord, give (wife’s name) discernment today about what she receives into her mind. I pray she will quickly identify lies about herself, her life, or her future. Help her to recognize when there is a battle going on in her mind and to be aware of the enemy’s tactics. Remind her to stick to Your battle plan and rely on the sword of the Spirit, which is Your Word (Ephesians 6:17).  Keep me aware of when my wife is struggling so I can talk openly with her about what is on her mind and in her heart. Enable us to communicate clearly so that we don’t allow the enemy to enter in with confusion or misrepresentation. Amen.

Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it springs the issues of life. Proverbs 4:23

Lord, I am so grateful that You have made my wife to be a woman of deep thoughts and feelings. I know that You have intended this for good, but I also know that the enemy of her soul will try to use it for evil. Help me to discern when he is doing that and enable me to pray accordingly.  Protect her from the author of lies and help her to cast down “every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.” (2 Corinthians 10:5)  Amen.

Her Spirit

Whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. But the water that I shall give him will become in him a fountain of water springing up into everlasting life. John 4:14

Lord, as much as I love my wife, I know You love her more. I realize that I cannot met her every need and expectation, but You can. Help my wife to increase her knowledge of You today.  May she turn to You first for everything as You become her constant companion. Give her discernment and revelation and enable her to hear Your voice instructing her.  Help her to stay focused on You, not matter how great the storm is around her, so that she never strays off the path You have for her. I pray You would keep me aware of when she needs a fresh filling of Your Spirit so that I will be prompted to pray for her. Amen.

“Covering” is a kind of metaphor for husbands being the head – the wife coming under her husband’s wing. (1 Cor. 11:3-15, Eph. 5:22-24)

An ancient Hebraic wedding custom included a robe or shawl that a groom placed around the shoulders of his bride signifying she has come under his covenant covering of protection, and spiritual, physical, emotional, and material care.

In times like these, it is essential to cover our families in prayer daily. For the next few weeks, we will present more prayers for your spouse - beginning with husbands covering their wives in prayer and supplication to the Lord.
