Today's Focus: Life
October 12, 2012 
 
Suggested Scriptural References: 

Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is his reward. ~Psalm 127:3

As you do not know the way the Spirit comes to the bones in the womb of a woman with child, so you do not know the work of God who makes everything. ~Ecclesiastes 11:5

For Thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise Thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are Thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from Thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect.  ~Psalm 139:13-16a

I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live: That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey his voice, and that thou mayest cleave unto him: for he is thy life, and the length of thy days.  ~Deuteronomy 30:19-20a

The suggested prayers below are a guideline to follow.

Suggested Prayers:

Thank You for founders who established this country on the fact that You created all of us equal.  We plead for You to lead all Americans to respect and protect the sacred right to life at every stage.

We pray that our leaders and our people will learn to respect the sanctity of life for all humans, including the aged, the ill, the disadvantaged and the unborn from the moment of conception until natural death.

We pray that Americans will nurture and protect all human life.

We plead for an end to the plague of abortion in our nation. 

We ask You to move in the hearts of judges and legislators to uphold the sanctity and precious gift of every human life.

We ask You, Lord, to bring deep healing to those who have chosen abortion.  We pray that each woman come to know that You have plans for her welfare and not her destruction.  We pray for the deep healing of men who have been involved in abortion.

We ask, O God, for Your mercy on a nation that is condoning the murder of its own children.  Forgive us, convict us and transform us, O God, we pray.

In the Name of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, we pray.

Amen and amen!
