.....There
is plenty to be afraid of in this life. Your wife will face
many circumstances, which can create fear in her. She also
entered the marriage with certain fears that have deep roots
in her life. Your wife can feel especially vulnerable and
be gripped by a spirit of fear. Even the godliest, faith-filled
woman can experience fear. This fear or fears can become a
controlling force in her life. Yet, through your prayers,
your wife can be set free from fear. You can help your wife
deal with her fears by praying for her.

following prayer guide is offered to help you pray against
your wife's fears. These Scripture prayers can enable you
to intercede for her concerning those fears that have taken
root in her life. You can also use these prayers to pray for
her protection.
