Greetings,
As is often the case, the week after a canceled class attendance was down at Dixon. Please pray attendance bounces back next week.
Attendance was good at Sheridan; however, I think all of those submitting prayer requests must have used the same crooked pencil as they were difficult to read. Thankfully the Holy Spirit will clear up any mistakes I may have made in interpretation.
A personal prayer for Michelle and her family, as we remember her mother today.
To Him be the glory!

Sheridan Correctional Center Evening
Demond - I would like prayer for my wife. It's rough on her raising the kids by herself. We need a blessing for me to be home soon.
No name - I would like prayer for my children and their mothers and family, also, for my family to be covered. We need prayer here in Sheridan, the way we are treated by the Officers and their disrespect to inmates. The men need prayer for those who have families and are struggling out there. We need prayer for courage to put God first and learn His and trust His ways. Thank you very much.
Brother Jeffrey - Lord, I am thankful for your love to bless us with grace, mercy, forgiveness, joy, peace, and more love. I ask you to bless your eternal love on the family of Scott and Michelle as they celebrate the life of service to you from Scott's mother-in-law, as Scott's family lays her to rest eternally in your love. I also ask you to comfort my family as we all remember two years ago today, October 18, 2017, when we laid our monarch, mother, and grandmother to rest eternally in your love. Paulette when your will for 102 years of life in your light of love. My grandmother, I enjoyed for 50 years of life, and I will join her someday to rest internally in your love. We all are thankful for your blessings of love, joy, peace, grace, mercy, faith, forgiveness, hope, feeling, Long-suffering in meekness, kindness, and more love. There is no law on the Fruits of the Spirit, and we serve you with the everlasting and eternal love. Lord, your love is with my uncle Thomas as he is in his last six months he is content on when you bring him to rest eternally in your love. In Jesus' name, amen.
Brother Jeffrey - Lord, you know my heart, and you know I am very blessed and thankful to serve your will where you need me. Lord, what your will for me is what I accept and serve here in Sheridan walking in your light to plant seeds of your word for the men. Your will for me to continue walking in your light after my release to testify on your grace, mercy, forgiveness, and love. I go before the judge on October 31, 2019, at 2:30 PM, and I except what the judge decides for me either the immediate release or finish my sentence with 15 months left. Lord, I am able, willing, and thankful for whatever your will is for me as my faith in you is understanding I serve the purpose of walking in the light of love you have blessed me with where, when, and how by your will. I feel your spirit, and I study your word to apply to my life daily. Lord, you are my strength, for I am weak, and your grace is sufficient for me. I suffer for your sake with pleasure, for you did send your son for all our sake. Lord, you know my heart, and I am your servant. In Jesus' name, amen.
Justin - Pray for my friend Elizabeth, her family, and kids, and for me, I've been having a stressful few weeks.
David - Please pray for our family's and kids' safety, provisions, and relationship with God. Pray for peace here, for our staff and volunteers and their families' safety and provision. Pray for my work release to get it and for its success. Pray for my pride to subside and my relationship with God the Holy Spirit to get better to follow God's will daily. Thank you.
Juan - Prayer for my family, may they all stay healthy and strong, especially my mother, who is 93 years of age. God bless her. And I ask God today; you always do for me what I do for you give me a sign. God bless Mr. Scott for always coming here to the prison to bring us closer to Jesus Christ, our Savior.
