In April, we introduced the prayer series on Covering Wives in Prayer, which we shared on Boaz for a few weeks. To recap, we discussed the metaphor of "covering" as it relates to the spiritual relationship between husbands and wives (1 Corinthians 11:3-15; Ephesians 5:22-24). We provided prayers with Scripture that can help husbands intercede for their wives; intentional prayers specific to the area(s) of need and concern. Spiritual covering is singular and special because it is also an intimate relationship, which cannot be shared with any other individual. Covering is protection, like an umbrella. And husbands are also covered in prayer by their praying wives. Throughout our ministry we have shared resources that are meant to stimulate conversations - between husbands and wives, between each partner and God, and between the couple corporately, and God.
Along with the benefits of prayerful covering come the full blessings
of enhanced intimacy between loving spouses. Wives, we will bring more
good and exciting things as we explore what God designed for us under
the "Intimacy Umbrella." And we will give equal time to the husbands!
