Praying for My Husband's Emotions

Key Scriptures: Proverbs 22:24-25, John 10:10, Psalm 34:1-4

The Power of Scripture

1. Read Proverbs 22:24-25. What does it say happens to us when we are around someone who projects a spirit of anger or other strong negative emotion? Do you or your husband tend to have negative emotions that can spoil the atmosphere of you home and your relationship? What triggers these emotions and how can you avoid them?

2. Read John 10:10. What are Satan's intentions for your life? What are God's intentions for your life?

In what aspects of your married life might the enemy be stealing joy or peace, dampening your enthusiasm, or robbing you of hope for the future? Do you feel that God has more of the abundant life available to you than you are now experiencing?

3. Read Psalm 40:1-3. Write down what the passage says about finding freedom from negative emotions.

The Power of Application

4. If you or your husband deal with negative emotions, write out a prayer asking God to protect both of you from depression, fear, anxiety, anger or whatever other negative emotions you may be experiencing.

5. Read Psalm 34:1-4. What should you be doing to dissolve the dark clouds of anger, depression, anxiety, and fear? How often should you praise the Lord each day?

The Power of Prayer

Ask God to show you anything you need to see with regard to negative emotions so that you and your husband can maintain an atmosphere of love, freedom and openness in your home.
