Lord Jesus, we know you gave us free will. We know we so often walk in disobedience to your will. Father, we thank you that you are always near and ready to help us endure our circumstances and the results of our sin.

Today while praying for Gary and Steven, I felt you had the following to say.

Gary - you are in the dark, darkness surrounds you and calls out to you, but look - look, there is a tiny light that glows - which the darkness cant put out. Seek the light and allow it to grow into a flame. You are where you need to be for now - but GOD has a plan.

Steven - grow in God, seek him in all you do. Write it down, spread the light and be support to others for God can use you where you are.

Lord Jesus, I also ask for you to work in the lives of those who pray for these men - their Mother's grant them strength and courage to get through this. Comfort these Mothers as they pray.

AMEN

Thank you JW, Thank you that our Lord has sent this message through you. This is with us 24 hours a day, and knowing the Dear Lord has a perfect plan for all of us brings such great comfort. Thank you for your prayers, Dear Prayer warrior.

This is the prayer steve sent to me that he prays, sometimes, along with others. Which remindes me, the next letter I need to send him the "Lord's Prayer" again. He had bible studies, but when they are transfered, they have to request them again, he is due to be transferred again any day now. Thank you for the reminder of the "Lord's Prayer"!!

Stay with me, God the night is dark,
The night is cold, my little spark
of courage dies. The night is long
Be with me God, and make me strong

( was originally the soldier's prayer, from the trenches)

Father in Jesus' name, I pray for a mother, father, parents, brother or sister who has a love one in the jail system. I pray that you send perfect laborer come in their path to minister life to them and their love one in jail the Love of Jesus Christ. May they know that God is a forgiving God and a merciful God. May their love one know and realize there are consequences to their actions in the outside world.

I pray for a mother or father, parents, brother or sister to be strengthen in the inner most part of their being. Lord heal every hurt and pain in their soul(mind,will,and emotions). May their every need be met. May they continue to be light and salt as they visits their love one and others. In Jesus Name. Amen

Lord Jesus - I pray for Steve as he is moved again. We know that you go ahead of him and that you will protect him while he serves his time and suffers the consequences. We know that you will bring him through and we pray for Steve to know you in a personal way each day. I pray for his family at this time too.

I also hold up Gary, I pray that you use this time to speak love and truth into his heart. To help him through the storm in his head and to set him free, to start again. Surround him with your word Lord Jesus and bring him into a relationship with you.

AMEN.

I thank you for letting me hear from my son yesterday. I thank you for keeping him thus far Lord. I pray that you will not take neither one out of this world, until they know you as their personal savior. Thank you Lord. Thank you for others who have remembered them in prayer. In Jesus precious Name, Amen.

Lord Jesus, when praying for these two men today, I had it placed on my heart that they are where you need them to be (ie in the specific jail, they are in or going to) and that you will use the surroundings to grow them. I know you have a plan for Steven, a plan to use his time to accomplish YOUR good and that you have some objective for him. I know you love Gary too - I know that your heart breaks, like that of his mother. I know that you also are able to use this time to soften Gary's heart. Lord may Gary BE STILL and know you are GOD. AMEN

Thank you so much JW, for your prayers.
We have also been praying for you and C. everyday. We know that the Lord has a plan for C. That C. now has his eyes open and is listening to the Lord. C is so lucky to have you in his life!

Thank you for your prayers, Steve will be transferred soon. The unknown is always the hardest part. Praying he will have a christian cell mate.

Thank you Dear Lord for all your wonderful blessings, In Jesus name we pray, amen.

Lord Jesus, I pray for those who are incarcerated. I pray that you would keep them protected and covered in your blood. God bless Steven and Gary and keep them in your care Lord Jesus. Speak to their hearts, give them blessed assurance that You have promised them to never leave nor to forsake them. I pray that they would meet up with more Christians and be lights that shine forth out of the darkness.

In Jesus Name,

Amen

Lord Jesus, while praying for Steven and Gary today, I looked at the ocean and the beautiful cloud bank and it came to me that in YOU we have freedom, no matter what our circumstances are.

Lord Jesus, it has been on my heart too to pray for the new jail that Steven is going to. Lord, this has to be stressful for him. I pray that you grant him your peace. Lord Jesus, I pray ahead of time, that you wil provide Steven with a cell mate who is who YOU will have him have as a cell mate. Lord Jesus, I pray this in your mighty name as we cover Steven in your love, Father God, a prison mate who YOU will have him have. Lord may no weopen formed again Steven prosper as he now seeks you. In the name of Jesus AMEN.

Lord Jesus, I pray that you continue to work in Gary's life, where he is. Lord Jesus, I pray that you will reach out to Gary and call him to you. Father God I pray that Gary will be open to you and to no longer be bound to the cell of his past. May he come to a place of salvation.

I pray for the families of these men. Lord Jesus, encourage them and comfort them. In the name of Christ. AMEN.
