PRAYER REQUESTS
April 2020
Thank you for taking time to pray for the needs of Support for Prison Ministries and the work of our chaplains and volunteers and those incarcerated that they minister to daily. These are testing times for all and SFPM Chaplains continue to be asked by the prison to do their jobs in ministering to inmates and officers at this time.
Praise Item- That Lancaster County Prison sees the need of the chaplaincy staff and office as an important part of working with the inmates and staff during these times of uncertainty. That God is doing great things in people’s lives as they seek God during this struggle.
Pray for a Female correctional officer at LCP- who is experiencing loss in her life, that she can sense God’s presence during her situation.
Pray for peace with the inmates in the midst of fear and anxiety with the virus.
Pray for an inmate -who is struggling with the death of a close friend who died from an overdose.
Lancaster Prison Administration– as they are having to make daily decisions and policy changes to keep the prison safe during Covid-19.
Correctional Officers -who are continuing to come to work, while they have children and family members who are at home. Pray for peace as they balance a stressful work situation and home life.
Prayer for the Lancaster Prison Medical Staff -as they are stretched in preventive measures and keeping the prison safe during this time.
Chaplain reduction – Due to Volunteer chaplains not being allowed in at LCP we have a limited number of chaplains who are allowed to enter the prison right now. Pray for the staff that is allowed to enter as they continue to go on the block and minister and do the additional work that is required.
Pray for YIC Chaplain Coordinator Jeryl Zimmerman –As he takes the responsibility of being the solo chaplain ministering to the young people at YIC there during this time of Coronavirus outbreak.
May my prayer be counted as incense before thee and the lifting up of my hands as the evening offering. Psalms 141:2
