Every day I call upon You, O LORD; I spread out my hands to You. Do You work wonders for the dead? Do the departed rise up to praise You? Selah Is Your steadfast love declared in the grave, or Your faithfulness in Abaddon? Are Your wonders known in the darkness, or Your righteousness in the land of forgetfulness?
Bless those dear brothers. Bless them while they are in prison. Bless them in the turmoil of the living units; bless them in the yard and cafeteria as they witness to others by deed and word. Bless them as they obey the corrections officers and as they work with caseworkers and counselors.
Bless them after release as they work with Probation and Parole, as they seek housing and employment. Bless them as they re-establish relationships with friends and family. Bless all whom they touch through the demonstration of the transforming power of Your grace and mercy.
