Prisoners


Those who carry God’s light into our nation’s prisons perform corporal works of mercy
that benefit the prisoners they visit as well as their own spiritual well-being.

A Prayer Of A Prisoner

A Prayer Of A Prisoner O Thou, who has all power in Heaven and Earth; come and let the light of thy divine presence illuminate the shadows of the prison-house, and fill the hearts of our brothers in bonds with hope and courage to endure patiently each his peculiar burdens and trials. Support and comfort any who are cast down, or are forsaken by Earthly friends, or who suffer physical or mental pain or sickness.  And if any are appointed to go hence, be thou their rod and staff through the dark valley, and at the last receive them unto thyself...

Morning Prayer For Fellow-Prisoners by Dietrich Bonhoeffer

Morning Prayer For Fellow-Prisoners O God, early in the morning I cry to you. Help me to pray And to concentrate my thoughts on you; I cannot do this alone. In me there is darkness, But with you there is light; I am lonely, but you do not leave me; I am feeble in heart, but with you there is help; I am restless, but with you there is peace. In me there is bitterness, but with you there is patience; I do not understand your ways, But you know the way for me. O Heavenly Father, I praise and thank you For rest in the night; I praise and thank...

For Prisons And Correctional Institutions

For Prisons And Correctional Institutions Lord Jesus, for our sake you were condemned as a criminal: Visit our jails and prisons with your pity and judgment. Remember all prisoners, and bring the guilty to repentance and amendment of life according to your will, and give them hope for their future. When any are held unjustly, bring them release; forgive us, and teach us to improve our justice. Remember those who work in these institutions; keep them humane and compassionate; and save them from becoming brutal or callous. And since what we do...

On Waking In Prison O God, early in the morning I cry to you. Help me to pray, and to think only of you. I cannot pray alone. In me there is darkness, but with you there is light.

Your ways are beyond my understanding, But you know the way for me. Lord Jesus Christ, You were poor and wretched, You were a captive as I am. You know all men’s distress. You abide in...

Prayer For Christian Prisoners

Prayer For Christian Prisoners Loving Heavenly Father, we pray for the many Christians who are being held in prisons, both at home and abroad, simply because they trust in the Lord Jesus as Savior.  Many have been falsely accused of crimes or deliberately set up to fall foul of the law simply because they are believers in your name. Lord we pray that you would be with each one in their imprisonment.  Break any bonds of fear and bitterness; and may the love of Jesus be shown forth in their actions and attitudes, so that those with whom they...
