50 GOFAMINT Prayer Points for a Chaplain (Hospital, Military, Prison, School, Corporate):
Biblical Exhortation:
“Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and give glory to your Father who is in heaven.” (Matthew 5:16,1 NKJV)
As a chaplain, you are called to be a beacon of hope and God’s love in challenging environments. Your actions, words, and compassion should reflect the light of Christ, drawing those you serve closer to God and inspiring them to give Him praise. Let your life be a testament to His grace and truth.
Bible Confession:
“The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want. He makes me to lie down in green pastures; He leads me beside the still waters. He restores my soul; He leads2 me in the paths of righteousness For His name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I3 will fear no evil; For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; My cup runs over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me All the days of my life; And I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.”4 (Psalm 23, NKJV)
I declare that the Lord is my Shepherd, guiding and providing for me in my role as a chaplain. He gives me strength, peace, and wisdom to minister effectively. Even in difficult situations, I will not fear, for He is with me. His goodness and mercy will follow me as I serve, and I will continue to dwell in His presence.
Scripture Reading:
Please read aloud Psalm 91 (NKJV):
“He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High
Shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress;
My God, in5 Him I will trust.”
Surely He shall deliver6 you from the snare of the fowler
And from the perilous pestilence.
He shall cover you with His feathers,
And under His wings you shall take refuge;
His truth shall be your shield and buckler.7
You shall not be afraid of8 the terror by night,
Nor of the arrow that flies by day,
Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness,
Nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.9
A thousand may fall at your side,
And ten thousand at your right hand;
But it shall not come near you.
Only with your eyes10 shall you look,
And see the reward of the wicked.
Because you have made the Lord11 your refuge,
And the Most High your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you,
Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
For He shall give His angels charge over you,12
To keep you in all your ways.
In their hands they shall bear you up,
Lest you dash your foot against a stone.
You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra,
The young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.
“Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him;
I will set him on high, because he has known My13 name.
He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him and honor him.
With long life I will satisfy him,
And show him My salvation.””14
Praise and Worship:
Take a moment to engage in praising God. You can do this through singing hymns or praise songs (mentally or aloud), reflecting on His goodness, or expressing your gratitude for His blessings and His calling upon your life as a chaplain. Acknowledge His sovereignty, His love, and His power.
