Please pray that He fills me with the Holy Spirit to stop turning back to the world. I know that Jesus died for my sins, though I try to confess my sins I still don't turn away from them... I want to stop drinking, but I don't have enough will power and I know it's not impossible for God to take away my addiction. I need stronger faith in God and perseverance. Please pray for me."

"I just wanted to take a few minutes and express my gratitude for your daily guide. I was incarcerated and during that time a friend of mine had your devotional guide sent to me. I was so thankful for it and I have to say that it made a huge difference in my life. I used my time in prison to reflect on my life and the need for change. I turned to God and know now that being incarcerated actually saved my life. I have since been released but the materials I received from you as well as another Church has stayed with me and my faith gets stronger every day. I can't thank you enough and just want you to know that the guides you send to people help them more than you know. My niece has recently been sent to prison and is in dire need of spiritual help. Since I know how my experience turned my life around, I pray that it will do the same for her. Would you please send a daily devotional guide to her? Keep up the good work!" Anonymous


"Thank you so much for your ministry and for sending me a copy of A New Day in Christ devotional guide. It is a great resource, tool, and help in my daily walk with Christ. I am commiting myself to being your partner in prayer in support of your ministry. May our wonderful Lord and Father in heaven continue to bless you and allow you to grow, prosper and increase in His work." Robert T. WVDC


"I have read your letter and I want to talk to whoever this may concern. I was in the county jail for about a month. Before that I was on the road to destruction. I did lots of wrong in my life, and finally I see the light. It has taken me a very long time to actually understand, and I feel reborn. I know I truly have been saved from my sinful way of life and I have been cleansed and changed and forgiven. Please pray for me and I will pray as well for all the people struggling here in this prison who have not accepted Jesus Christ." Reuben R. OK


"I would really like to thank you all for sending me a perpetual daily devotional. God has spoken to me by receiving this booklet. I was really depressed and lonely due to the fact that I was sentenced to an 8 yr term. But this was a sign from God reminding me that I am not alone, God will always be there by my side. What keeps me in wonder is how you found me at just the right time I needed comfort. I thank you, and I thank God for you." Charles R. CA


"I've been so lost and sad for awhile now. It seems that no one cares about anyone anymore. I read my Bible and pray everyday, I talk to Jesus everyday and ask him to help me and thank him for letting me wake up. I have a bad heart and it hurts to know that not even your family will talk to me. I'm not a bad person, but I got messed up in drugs 10 years ago and now I'm paying the price.I turned my self in to make things right. I have lost everything in my life, I only wish my family would stand by me. " Thomas T. TX

Pray for Tobi F. in Rankin Co Jail, Brandon, MS. "Please keep me and my two girls in your prayers. I got in a trouble after my mother passed away. I got depressed and started running with the wrong crowd but now I am trying to get my life back together so I can be a wonderful mother to my daughters like my mother was to me."

For these and all your children, God we pray. We lift up the broken hearts and the forgotten lives, the ones for whom you sent Jesus into the world. We pray that in our busy celebrations this season, we carve out the time to serve those who matter to you most. In so doing, may our lives be made more in the image of Jesus Christ, our Lord and Savior. Amen.

Who is your right hand man? the person on our right should be one we can lean on, one who will guide our path, or one who is there for us in the time of need. In Psalm 16:8 it says "I have set the Lord continually before me; because he is at my right hand, I will not be shaken."

In biblical times, the right hand was the most distinguished position, reserved for one's chief advisor & supporter. That's what God is. God is our advisor and our supporter and we should take advantage of that. It seems that when we face troubles we look to our left and seek our own advice and our own support. Our way never works, that's why David wrote in the book of Psalms 25:4 "Make me know your ways, O Lord, teach me your paths."

God stands at the right hand of the needy (Psalm 109:31) and right now we need God. Stop stressing, stop worrying, stop hurting, stop lying, stop cheating, stop using drugs, stop living the way you are living, just stop! Stop! STOP! Turn to your right hand & let God help you. Now is the right time.

For these and our brothers and sisters everywhere, we ask that their hearts be filled with the peace and love that comes only from you, Creator God.

Thanksgiving is coming soon! From my cell window I can see the mist of the morning dew on the golden and red falling leaves. This is a time of family love. Love isn't love until you give it away.

Family is love!
Family love is Patience
Family love is Kindness
Family love is Generosity
Family love is Gentleness
Family love is Enduring
Family love is Belief
Family love is Hope
Family love is Dreams
Family love is Life.

I have seen the tears of inmates glittering under the sunrays. The tears of joy, of gratefulness, when the inmates know that they are "coming home" to their families, after months, years, 10 years, 20 years, 25 years... away... so far away from home... far away from family love.

I have felt the hearts of Faith, the dreams of Hope by holding and reading the Bible, by praying for God's forgiveness. I have heard the voices of prayers like the sound of soft rain calling for God's love, for God's guidance.

I am a Vietnamese American woman, I was a CEO, I have tasted the meaning of success, of achievements, of wealth... and now I am in Chowchilla Correctional Center, a place with so many silent crying voices for the lights of love and words of Hope.

I have gazed at people, the face of broken hearts--just on their new path, new season of life that they have to go through. This is also a journey of my tranquility pathway. Some of life's changes are welcome, others break our heart. What is there that make me feel "Peace" and "Tranquility" from my struggled soul? The recognition of God's love, God's wisdom... not my wisdom any more.

From God's love I am the woman who holds tears longing for "freedom" my own freedom. The freedom of my life that I have traded for "sorrow" and "forgiveness."

I am holding on to faith for hope and grace. From the love of God, I have the courage to live the way I know and the way I should. "Love bears all things, believes all things, hope all things, endures all things." 1 Cor 13:7

Prayers to you all, please pray for me.

My greed and pride kept me believing I couldn't be had and that I didn't need God. The Truth is, I was lost and living in a self-made prison of drugs, money and sex... a prison more debilitating than the physical kind. The real question isn't why I came back to prison, but rather why I wasn't dead. I was so close to hell you could smell the smoke on my clothes. But God in his mercy and love snatched me away from that destiny. Amen."

I am a part of a culture of men who seem to have been condemned.
We are the ones who live fast, live short, and get to spend time in the pen.
Most of us have been exposed to the elements
of confinement for quite a while.
From a young age, even as boys, block walls had robbed us of our smiles.
Forced to grow up too soon, forgetting what it was to be a child…
We’ve become accustomed to being locked up. No longer resisting its sting.
Conformed to this darker world, harboring the hate that it breeds.
The hard, solid concrete embedded around our hearts.
The ice-cold metal positioned firmly in our deepest parts.
Dead or non-existent to any “society” outside our own,
Surrounded by cops and killers,
gunners and drug runners,
this is where we make our home.
Not by choice, but rather by chance.
Our socio-economic beginnings leading us to our
present circumstance.
The rich are not here, nor the famous and loved.
Only guys like me, addicted, afflicted, and restricted,
Whose only hope is in God above.
We are the living without real lives,
Our kids have no value, neither do our mothers and wives.
No one sees their struggles, feels their pain or hears them cry.
“Society” just turns the other way,
refusing to even look them in the eye.
We’ve been sentenced to hell, yet we are expected to excel.
And when we return we get double,
because we are the ones who failed.
They say prison is where we are supposed to be “corrected”
So what’s this disease we’ve all acquired,
as though we’ve only come to be “infected?”
We were never this sick as kids, all we needed was
help for the bad things we did.
Help that never came, still we are the one to blame.
In all reality, we are merely “livestock,”
investments for those who feed on our misery.
We’ve been overcome by bigger guns,
and brains equipped for much usury.
They make their dollar at the price of our pain,
Hoping and insuring that our offspring play in their game.
Without even knowing or intending this to be,
I’ve been a piece of the machine
That’s working to make my kids just like me.
But who wants to see our own sons & daughters
treated like animals and led to their own slaughter?
I sure don’t, which is why I’ve decided
to depend on the will of my heavenly Father…
Only HE holds the key to truly set me free…
Inside and out. HE can change things completely.
Maybe no one else seems to care or even notice us,
But GOD so loved the world that He gave His
only begotten Son JESUS to set the captives free.
And heal the broken hearted,
to begin a good work in our lives,
and finish once it is started.
To the world we are the people not deserving of a life,
But to JESUS CHRIST we are precious souls He bought at a very high price.
All it takes is a little faith in Him and true sorrow for our sins.
Believing in His love for us, knowing that He forgives,
Trusting in His word and holding on to all His promises.
Then darkness will dissolve and turn into light,
death will die and give birth to new life.
The chains and burdens which were once so heavy and strong
Will disappear into nothing to the place where they belong.
Behold, the LORD has made for me all things brand new.
And if you want he will do all this just for you too.
Whoever you are, PLEASE COME WITH ME to a place of peace and rest
And the love of God for all eternity, where you’ll enjoy nothing but the BEST…

GOD BLESS YOU!!!

When you find yourself with idle time
use it wisely, you could pray for someone.

A family member, a neighbor or a friend,
a co-worker, a church member or even an enemy.

There's always someone, somewhere
who could use a little prayer.

Maybe a runaway, a pregnant teen
or a soldier overseas.

There's always someone, somewhere
who could use a little prayer.

A teacher, a preacher or a team of missionaries,
the President of America or an inmate in jail

There's always someone, somewhere
who could use a little prayer.

Don't waste one precious moment, of any given day.
Fall to your knees and offer up a prayer.

Pray for the homeless, the helpless, the addicts and the lost,
the orphans and the widows and the myrtre's of the world,
and for all the saints everywhere
who can use a little prayer.

Written by: Tina Iozzo

Tina in in TDCJ Gatesville Crain Unit. She, and everyone there can use a little prayer.

Model Prayer

"So when you pray, you should pray like this: 'Our Father in
heaven, we pray that your name will always be kept holy. We
pray that your kingdom will come, and that the things you
want will be done here on earth, the same as in heaven. Give
us the food we need for each day. Forgive the sins we have
done, the same as we have forgiven the people that did wrong
to us. Don't let us be tempted (tested); but save us from the
Evil One (the devil).'" -- Matthew 6:9-13 (ERV)

KEY THOUGHT:
Much has been written about Jesus' model prayer. Rather than something
to be blindly recited, this is a short guide for disciples on how to
pray. The prayer easily divides into two parts: first, we recognize the
inestimable greatness of God, and then we recognize our dependency upon
him. The first three petitions ask God to accomplish his ultimate
will in our world and reveal his holy purposes to all people. The
second three acknowledge our need for sustenance, forgiveness, and
strength to face the rigors of daily spiritual and physical life.
Bottom line: prayer doesn't need to be eloquent, but reverent of God,
penitent before God, and dependent upon God while approaching him with
confidence as his children.

TODAY'S PRAYER:
Holy and tender Father, I pray that you exert your power in our world
and work your will in irrefutable and glorious ways. I trust you to
fill my daily needs as I depend upon your mercy and grace to forgive me
and empower me to forgive. May my life be used in your service to
accomplish your will. In the name of Jesus I pray. Amen.
