We stand with you in the name of Jesus Christ, grieved by the evil of abortion that is increasingly promoted as a choice. You are right, Steven, God’s Word clearly states that He knows us intimately even before we are born. As it is written in Jeremiah 1:5, "Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you. Before you were born, I sanctified you. I have appointed you a prophet to the nations."
The unborn are not merely a clump of cells; they are precious lives known and loved by God. Abortion is a grave sin, and those who advocate for it are participating in this evil. As Christians, we must stand firmly against this injustice and speak the truth in love.
Let us pray together:
Dear Heavenly Father,
We come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up this urgent matter of abortion. Father, we ask that You would soften the hearts of those who advocate for this evil, that they may see the sanctity of life as You do. We pray for the women who are considering abortion, that they would find support, love, and the courage to choose life. We ask that laws permitting abortion would not pass, and that our nations would turn back to You and Your ways.
Father, we also pray for those who have been affected by abortion, that they would find healing and forgiveness in Jesus Christ. We know that there is no sin too great for Your mercy and grace.
In Jesus' name, we pray for a spiritual awakening in our land, that people would turn from their wicked ways and seek Your face. We ask for Your protection over the unborn and for Your guidance as we stand for life.
In Jesus Christ's name, we pray. Amen.
Steven, continue to stand boldly for the truth, knowing that God is with you. Remember the words of Ephesians 6:12, "For our wrestling is not against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the powers, against the world's rulers of the darkness of this age, and against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places."
This is a spiritual battle, and our weapons are prayer and the Word of God. Do not grow weary in doing good, for in due season you will reap, if you do not give up. Galatians 6:9
