Prayers Going Up...

Abba Father, your Word says that you are the Father of the Defenseless, and so we bring to you today all of the defenseless babies who are in danger of being aborted. We ask you to deliver them from the hands of the enemy who is waiting to devour them. Father, you are also our Provider, and so we ask you to provide these little ones with Angels – both heavenly and earthly, who will lead their parents to the Light, which is Jesus. So that, coming into His presence as did Saul, on the road to Damascus, they will repent of their sins, realize the error of their ways, and come to accept these precious gifts from God with joy, as Zacheus received Jesus. Father, we thank you for being an Encircling Wall of Fire around them, to protect them from destruction by the abortionists. Jesus, You are our Healing and Wholeness – we ask you to bring healing and wholeness to parents who have already committed abortions. Holy Spirit, please give them wisdom and understanding, that they will recognize the lies of the enemy and never again fall into this sin. Amen

For Respect For Life

Heavenly Father, the beauty and dignity of human life was the crowning of your creation. You further ennobled that life when your Son became one with us in his incarnation. Help us to realize the sacredness of human life and to respect it from the moment of conception until the last moment at death. Give us courage to speak with truth and love and with conviction in defence of life. Help us to extend the gentle hand of mercy and forgiveness to those who do not reverence your gift of life. To all, grant pardon for the times we have failed to be grateful for your precious gift of life or to respect it in others. We ask this in Jesus' Name. Amen.
