The Free Churches Group and our work in prison chaplaincy have worked with The Prison Fellowship (PF) for many years. Prison Fellowship’s mission is to “show Christ’s love to prisoners by coming alongside them and supporting them”… for the last 40 years they have been working with, supporting and praying with and for prisoners across England and Wales. In recent months, we are all too aware of how the pandemic has affected how we are able to meet and from the work we do in prisons, we very conscious of the families who have had even more restrictions on meeting, due to a relative being in prison.
The prayer for this coming Sunday 27th Sept is:
Pray for those children and parents who are still unable to visit, because of Covid-19 or other restrictions. May God protect their relationship despite the challenge, and may they know they are held in his loving arms.
Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer…
Amen
“The Lord longs to be gracious to you; therefore he will rise up to show you compassion.
For the Lord is a God of justice. Blessed are all who wait for him!”
Isaiah 30:18
