"You great Saviour of men, we thank you for the power which you have given your servants to praise you and pray to you. May the Holy Spirit give to us hearts of gratitude and hearts of faith that prison doors may be opened, and that those in the bondage of sin may be released. Amen."

"Our loving Father, will you help us all to have the peace and joy of your heart because we love you, and may our friends know by our outward lives that God is our Stay and Comfort. We pray you that no tribulations may have any other influence upon us than to drive us back to you, and keep us near you. In Jesus' name. Amen."

"Help us, O God, to realize that it is better to be in prison with Christ than to be out of prison without Christ. Help us to understand that many lives have suffered for Christ's sake, and bravely and manfully trusting in Christ. May we pray more earnestly and work more faithfully for the prisoners. In Christ's name. Amen."

"We thank you, O God, that you are a hearer and answerer of prayer; that you are more willing to give your spirit to us than we are to give good gifts to our children. We pray for the gift of divine peace when our souls are troubled by life's anxieties. And in Christ's name we speak to you our gratitude. Amen."

"Our Father who art in heaven, fill our hearts, we pray you, with joy unspeakable and full of glory, that we may have your constant presence and blessing. May we pulish glad tidings with lips of wisdom and lives of consistency. May we be your guests every time we sit at table, and walk with you along the way. Amen."
