Day 9 INTENTION

Pray that the post-abortive woman would be repentant, accept forgiveness, be healed and restored, and bring glory to God with her new life.

SCRIPTURE

I acknowledged my sin to You, and my iniquity I have not hidden. I said, "I will confess my transgressions to the Lord," and You forgave the iniquity of my sin.

-- Psalm 32:5

REFLECTION by Carmen Pate - Point of View

Because abortion is legal in America, many have justified their choice. "If it's legal, it can't be wrong, right?"

We now have an entire generation of men and women who have never known abortion to be illegal; a generation of people who have never been broken over their sin of abortion.

As a result, the consequences of unconfessed sin weigh on their souls, yet they have never connected the dots as to why their hearts are heavy. No wonder we have millions of women who are struggling with depression, addictions, eating disorders and more.

Post abortion syndrome is very real but recovery begins when the individual agrees with God as David confessed in Psalm 51:3-4, 14, "Against You, You only, have I sinned, and done this evil in Your sight -- that You may be found just when You speak, and blameless when you Judge. Deliver me from the guilt of bloodshed, O God, the God of my salvation."

Brokenness is the key to accessing God's glorious mercy and healing. Christ came to heal the broken hearted and He is waiting with open arms to take the post-abortive woman on a glorious journey of healing and restoration if she will only run to Him.

God will not waste any sin we lay at His feet. Imagine millions of healed and restored post-abortive women like myself singing aloud of His righteousness and giving testimony of His love and forgiveness.

What a day of rejoicing that will be!

PRAYER

Heavenly Father, we have turned our backs on you and your principles in your Word. We have allowed man to usurp Your role as God over life and the number of our days.

But we come to you in brokenness and repentance over our sin.

We cry out for Your mercy and ask you to remove the scourge of abortion from our land. Use us as your vessels, Lord, to bring the light of Your Truth to our nation once again. Because of Christ we pray, Amen.

Want to do something to make America a better place? Pray that we will defend our most innocent-—the babies in the womb. Our Mighty God created them. He wants them to be precious to us just as they are to Him. Prayer brings God’s blessings to any situation. His ways are perfect.

Standing with you, Faith, in Prayer for our Lord's Unborn Lambs.

Our Loving Savior, we Cry Out to You on Behalf of the Helpless Ones. Help us, our God, to Never Waver in our Love and our Prayers. May the Blight of Abortion be Brought Soon to an End. Please Enlighten the Eyes of All who Support this Scourge. May they be Lead to Repent, and to Take Up the Cause of Life.

Merciful Master, Please Shield Your Little Children with Your Hand. Thank You, Father, that You Hold them Close to Your Heart. We Praise You, Lord Jesus, and Thank You Forever for Your Love, amen.
