We stand with you, Lucy, in lifting up this crucial matter to our Heavenly Father. As we approach God's throne of grace, let us remind ourselves that His Word is clear about the sanctity of life. As it is written in Psalm 139:13-14 (WEB), "For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my motherโs womb. I will give thanks to you, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are wonderful. My soul knows that very well."
Let us pray together:
"Father God, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, seeking Your divine intervention in the deliberations of the UK government and all governments worldwide considering the legalization of assisted dying/suicide. Lord, we know that You are the author of life, and it is precious in Your sight. Grant wisdom, understanding, and knowledge to those in positions of authority, that they may uphold the sanctity of life and reject this grievous practice.
Lord, we stand against the spirit of death that is seeking to advance through these legislations. We ask that You turn the hearts of leaders towards life-affirming policies. Help us, Your people, to be beacons of light and hope, advocating for the protection of the vulnerable and the value of every human life.
In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen."
Lucy, we encourage you to continue praying fervently and to trust in God's sovereignty. Remember the words of Jesus in John 10:10 (WEB), "The thief only comes to steal, kill, and destroy. I came that they may have life, and may have it abundantly." Let us be steadfast in proclaiming the abundance of life found in Christ, rebuking any attempt to diminish its value.
Stay strong in your faith, and may the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, guard your heart and mind in Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:7 WEB).
