We lift up all of our PFC programs and pray for divine opportunities to facilitate them in institutions all across Canada. May the Lord continue to make the work that we do known to Chaplains and protect our organization against harsh and unjust criticisms and/or negative speech seeking to hinder the work.
As we remember the prisoner, ex-prisoner, and their families, we pray for safe communities that will aid in the transformation of these lives. As the darkness in the lives of prisoners begins to become exposed to the light, may the light of love, compassion, understanding, and acceptance mark their path to restoration.
We ask the Lord to bestow a Spirit of wisdom over our PFC by Phone volunteers. In this area of service, where there can easily be a temptation to give pat answers, over-share, or speak presumptuously, we ask the Lord for a Spirit of grace and wisdom, slow to speak, and quick to listen.
We lift up the in-prison sessions that began last month at Maplehurst and other prisons across Canada and ask the Lord to grace each participant with a special touch of His presence. May each participant experience the freedom that forgiveness brings.
We pray for a greater level of discernment this year for our staff, volunteers, supporters, and those we serve. May we all rise together to new levels of discernment that aid our victory and successes in life and ministry.
We pray that prisoners all across Canada will have the opportunity to participate in sending their children to a local camp this summer. May the Lord make a way so that no child in need of community misses out on this wonderful opportunity to meet Jesus and the family of God through camp.
We pray that each member of our national team will walk boldly into their identity and calling in a greater way throughout this year. May everything needed to assist renewal and growth be ours in Christ Jesus. We pray that we will be continually overflowing in the Spirit, along with personal affirmations along the way.
We lift up prisoners all across Canada who are struggling to see the light in the darkness of their circumstances, and we pray for a divine shift in their perspectives. We ask the Lord to give them a truly Holy thought that transforms the way they feel about their circumstances.
We pray that our partnership with those who support the work we do will deepen this year. May a continual outpouring of the Holy Spirit over us all lead us deeper into manifest love, shared joys, and mutual respect as we labour together.
We cover our staff, volunteers, partners and clients from any spirit of doubt or fear. We pray that the perfect love that casts out all fear will be made perfect in our hearts, moving us from grace to grace as we grow each day into the image of Christ, our Lord.
We pray for those returning citizens who need food to eat, a place to stay, and clothes to wear. We pray that more local churches will invest in becoming a support to those in need in their communities and create many opportunities for introductions to the marginalized around them.
We pray for divine introductions and Spirit-led connections to new partners in the work we do. May we find a connection to new churches with volunteers ready and willing to serve in any capacity. May we find financial supporters that exceed our expectations. May we find co-labourers and fellow heirs with their minds set upon Christ.
