PRAYER REQUESTS

July 2026: 

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. 

Praise: Our prison office continues to get letters of appreciation from inmates for the Bibles, books, and Bible courses we hand out free of charge to the inmates. Our goal is to help enrich the spiritual life of inmates while they are incarcerated and is one of the most successful programs we have.

Pray for the children of inmates – as they go through the summer months without at least one of their parents.

Pray for a counselor whose mother passed away unexpectedly.  Pray for the family as they walk this journey of grief.

Pray for an officer who doesn’t feel like she makes a difference and questions her purpose in life.  Pray for truth as the chaplains relate with her.

Pray for LCP & YIC administration – as they are called on to make difficult decisions, which is best for all involved inmates and staff, and help them be strengthened from outside criticism due to factors beyond their control.

Pray for Emily Gockley – as she starts her new office position in the chaplain’s office. That God would be with her in learning and strength as she gets acclimated to the position.

Pray for organizations that are helping and ministering to inmate families. Pray that churches also would step in to help families in need with spiritual guidance and letting children know they are loved,

Pray for the heat in the prison. July is a hot month in prison and inmate tempers flare and staff and chaplains have more on their plate in bad conditions. Please pray that God brings a calm peace to the prison and also pray for officers, inmates, staff, and chaplains as they endure the heat that comes with summer.

Now He was telling them a parable to show that at all times they ought to pray and not to lose heart.  Luke 18:1
