21 DAYS Join the Prayer Movement for Life!
AN INVITATION TO PRAY AND ENGAGE Many people wish the abortion debate would just go away. They’re tired of the controversy and name-calling played out almost daily on social media. They’re turned off by harsh rhetoric and careless labels, not to mention constant political bickering. Perhaps you feel this way. You have a heart for the unborn, but have yet to act on your pro-life sentiments. You want to do something, but see only two options — pick a fight or avoid the issue in polite company! But there’s a third option--pray and engage. And get others to join in! ![]()

That we may plead for God's mercy and grace upon all those involved in the sin of abortion.
Blow the trumpet in Zion! Proclaim a fast, call an assembly. Gather the people, notify the congregation. Assemble the elders; gather the children and the infants at the breast... Let the priests, the ministers of the Lord, weep and say, "Spare, 0 Lord, your people." — Joel 2:15-17
If you are willing to be a prayer warrior for LIFE, call 419-535-5800 and get on the list! We need God's guidance and help for the cause everyday but we also ask to be on your prayer list when there is a specific challenge or opportunity in front of us where we need intervention and support from God to make the way clear.
The toll of abortion cannot be measured. We hear estimates of almost 57 million innocent victims, but that's only one aspect of the harm that has unfolded in abortion's wake. There are also the mothers and fathers of these millions, as well as the grandparents, brothers and sisters, aunts, uncles, cousins. Unborn lives destroyed. Lives of the living shattered.
It's overwhelming and depressing, but even in the midst of such unfathomable darkness, the church teaches us to have hope. Yes, it was indeed Calvary that followed Christ's 40 days in the desert, but without Calvary there would have been no Resurrection — His victory over death that opened the gates of heaven to those who believe in and follow Him.
The psalmist encourages us to go humbly before God as we seek His will: A clean heart create for me, 0 God, and a steadfast spirit renew within me... Give me back the joy of your salvation and a willing spirit sustain in me... 0 Lord, open my lips, and my mouth shall proclaim your praise (Psalm 51:12-17).
We are called to be God's messengers; or as the Apostle Paul wrote: We are ambassadors for Christ, as if God were appealing through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ: be reconciled to God (2 Corinthians 5:20).
That is the true message to all we encounter at the abortion centers and in our communities who have been deceived by the Culture of Death. We don't bring condemnation; we bring God's good news.

Daily Prayer:
Lord, we ask for the strength, courage, wisdom, determination and stamina to carry out this mission according to Your will. Guide us, we pray, as we go forth and proclaim Your truth, always doing so with a spirit of love and compassion, as was demonstrated to us through the work of Your Son, Jesus Christ. In His name we pray, amen. Written by David Brandao, Communications Director, 40 Days for Life |
