Holy Spirit covers our life.

 Holy Spirit, Cover Our Life

A Reflection on Psalm 91:4, Isaiah 4:5-6, and John 14:16

Holy Spirit, cover our life—not with cloth or mortal shade,

But with the wings of the Almighty, where our souls are safe and stayed.

Spread Your feathers wide above us; let us hide beneath Your care.

Be our refuge in the tempest, be the answer to our prayer.

He will cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you will find refuge. (Psalm 91:4)

Cover our minds—from the lies that twist and harm.

Let the Spirit of truth protect us, keeping every thought so calm.

Cover our hearts—from bitterness and fear.

Pour Your love into our spirits; let Your perfect peace draw near.

Cover our homes, our families, our going out and in.

Let the Holy Spirit's presence be the atmosphere we breathe within.

When the enemy comes like a flood, let Your covering be our tower.

In the shadow of the Almighty, we have safety every hour.

Then the Lord will create over all of Mount Zion and over those who assemble there a cloud of smoke by day and a glow of flaming fire by night; over everything the glory will be a canopy. (Isaiah 4:5)

Cover our past—let guilt and shame dissolve.

Cover our present—let us see our problems solve.

Cover our future—guide us through the unknown way.

Let the Spirit's covering be our light, our strength, our stay.

For You are the Advocate, the One who never leaves.

You cover us with grace that the enemy never receives.

No weapon formed against us shall prosper when we are covered by Your hand.

Holy Spirit, cover our life—fulfill Your promise, Lord, to stand.

“I will ask the Father, and He will give you another Advocate to help you and be with you forever.” (John 14:16)

Cover us, O Holy Spirit. We rest beneath Your wing.

Let the shelter of Your presence make our spirits sing.

Amen.
