The Wounded

“The dying groan in the city,
And the souls of the wounded cry out . . .”  Job 24:12

Mr. Larry Who fasts and prays each Friday for the prisoners in North Korea and throughout Asia and those imprisoned by poverty or drugs or any of the countless ways one can be imprisoned.  Would you like to join him?

Lord, as those imprisoned groan and cry out, we join them and ask for Your mercy to make a way.  And here’s a simple poem . . .

Precious Prisoners

As the wounded cry out
and the dying groan
we pray to God
with Holy Spirit moans
for He’s always moving
on behalf of these ones
for each is considered
a precious daughter, a much loved son.

  1. Oh Sis, what a beautiful simple poem and message. It makes me think of my neighbor Tim, who was crying out downstairs tonight–he does that when he hears voices which torment him, a terrible prison I can’t even imagine. Praying for him, and all who have prisons inside themselves. God bless you abundantly–much love, sis Caddo

  2. wow, Deb,
    Absolutely amazing.God bless you.

  3. Beautiful words of supplication…

  4. “The dying groan in the city,
    And the souls of the wounded cry out . . .”

    When Jimmy and Tammy Bakker were going through their PTL scandal, Tammy Bakker felt like she was all alone. Yet, God, who never gives up on anyone, sent her a garbage collector who would stop by on his routes and encourage and pray for her. I made up my mind to be like that garbage collector and pray for people in their tough times, especially those in prison.

    Thanks for the mention.

  5. AMEN what a wonderful privilege to be able to pray for those who are so faithful to our Lord and His cause. May the Lord bless each prisoner with patience, peace, and even joy as they continue to serve Him while yet in prison. Lord bless, thanks for a great reminder.
