Life!

L E S S O N S

Your hands fashioned and made me, and now You have destroyed me altogether. Remember that You have made me like clay; and will You return me to the dust? Did You not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese? You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
—Job 10:8-11

You shall not give any of your children to offer them to Molech, and so profane the name of your God: I am the Lord.
—Leviticus 18:21

On You was I cast from my birth, and from my mother's womb You have been my God.
—Psalm 22:10

Upon You I have leaned from before my birth; You are He who took me from my mother's womb. My praise is continually of You.
—Psalm 71:6

For You formed my inward parts; You knitted me together in my mother's womb. I praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Wonderful are Your works; my soul knows it very well. My frame was not hidden from You, when I was being made in secret, intricately woven in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed substance; in Your book were written, every one of them, the days that were formed for me, when as yet there was none of them.
—Psalm 139:13-16

Now the word of the Lord came to me, saying, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, and before you were born I consecrated you; I appointed you a prophet to the nations.”
—Jeremiah 1:4-5

And when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, the baby leaped in her womb. And Elizabeth was filled with the Holy Spirit.
—Luke 1:41

“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that in heaven their angels always see the face of my Father who is in heaven.”
—Matthew 18:10

“It would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck and he were cast into the sea than that he should cause one of these little ones to sin.”
—Luke 17:2

[Paul]: He… had set me apart before I was born, and… called me by his grace.
—Galatians 1:15

P R A Y E R

Dear Father God,
Son Our Savior, and Holy Spirit,

We praise Your unfathomable glory and majesty!

We raise our hands and hearts in gratitude for this blessed season of the newness of life, praising You and giving thanks that You sent Your Son as a tiny human baby to show us the Way, to grow in wisdom and ministry, and even one day to die for our Salvation. We are miserable sinners, yet your grace is so boundless in mercy for our errors! Help us to serve You, dearest Lord, to grow in faith and rejection of sin, and to uphold Your gift of Life as we pray for our nation.

In sorrow and shame we lift up all purveyors, practitioners and advocates of elective abortion, designer genetic manipulation, sex selection, hormonal and surgical sex change practices, and third-party surrogacy in support of disordered sexual relationships. Can there be any greater repudiation of Your Created Order, Lord God? We pray for a change of heart towards Life among all lawgivers, legislators, judges, medical personnel, tissue harvesters and researchers and the media who have enabled or promoted these transgressive acts, that their souls may be saved, and that their influence over young people may be steadily diminished.

We thank You for those practitioners who have already repented and have made it their mission to push back against all wicked exploitation of the gift of sexuality and the commercialization of this heartless industry.We thank you for the Christians of conscience who have stood witness outside these businesses for the past 45 years to reach out to women with crisis pregnancies, and ask Your blessing and protection on them, dearest Lord.

We thank You for the supportive pro-life pregnancy centers and all who donate time, materials, expertise and funds to them. And we thank You for the mothers and fathers who choose life, regardless of the hardship. We praise You for bringing Christians alongside them, Lord, to help them establish homes for their children.

We pray for the renewal of chastity and sanctity in marriage, so that homes may be safe and loving for spouses and children, full of prayer, scripture study, and the JudeoChristian values that founded our nation and helped us achieve greatness in the past. As has been said of our heroic troops, there are only two men who will die for your safety and freedom: Jesus Christ and the American soldier. We pray today for Your favored selection of a new Secretary of Defense, a leader who will help our President to restore the honor and sacredness of the military profession in these United States.

And we thank You, Lord God Almighty, for the life You have given each of us, and our tasks as intercessors. Those of us who are parents and grandparents thank You on our knees for this role in our lives, and seek Your guidance always on behalf of those who come behind us, and those for whom we pray.

In Jesus’ holy name,

Amen.

PRAYER REQUEST from a FREEPER KALAM on another FR thread...

I am also thankful for your “Attention Prayer Warriors” and the importance you put in the power of prayer. Our God and Creator is “aware of prayer.” I have a cousin, Roger, who has now had 3 operations on his back and is still leaking spinal fluid. A serious condition and prayers for him would be welcome.

And this prayer I am led to repeat for us to pray to deal with our domestic enemies. Bring them down like the walls of Jericho:

Psalm 94

[1] O LORD, thou God of vengeance,
thou God of vengeance, shine forth!
[2] Rise up, O judge of the earth;
render to the proud their deserts!
[3] O LORD, how long shall the wicked,
how long shall the wicked exult?
[4] They pour out their arrogant words,
they boast, all the evildoers.
[5] They crush thy people, O LORD,
and afflict thy heritage.
[6] They slay the widow and the sojourner,
and murder the fatherless;
[7] and they say, “The LORD does not see;
the God of Jacob does not perceive.”
[8] Understand, O dullest of the people!
Fools, when will you be wise?
[9] He who planted the ear, does he not hear?
He who formed the eye, does he not see?
[10] He who chastens the nations, does he not chastise?
He who teaches men knowledge,
[11] the LORD, knows the thoughts of man,
that they are but a breath.
[12] Blessed is the man whom thou dost chasten, O LORD,
and whom thou dost teach out of thy law
[13] to give him respite from days of trouble,
until a pit is dug for the wicked.
[14] For the LORD will not forsake his people;
he will not abandon his heritage;
[15] for justice will return to the righteous,
and all the upright in heart will follow it.
[16] Who rises up for me against the wicked?
Who stands up for me against evildoers?
[17] If the LORD had not been my help,
my soul would soon have dwelt in the land of silence.
[18] When I thought, “My foot slips,”
thy steadfast love, O LORD, held me up.
[19] When the cares of my heart are many,
thy consolations cheer my soul.
[20] Can wicked rulers be allied with thee,
who frame mischief by statute?
[21] They band together against the life of the righteous,
and condemn the innocent to death.
[22] But the LORD has become my stronghold,
and my God the rock of my refuge.
[23] He will bring back on them their iniquity
and wipe them out for their wickedness;
the LORD our God will wipe them out.

[Albion Wilde]

Blessings, dear intercessors and FRiends,
for particpating in yesterday's Vigil thread, 12/27/18.
May God grant you peace and pilgrim's progress
in the New Year!
