Starting a ping list to pray for the end of abortion (Vanity)

After all was said and done about the Tiller murder, I looked around what responses that I seen from people, what I still see now, and I was... disturbed how angry they were. Now anger isn't a bad thing always, but there was no point to the responses; they just blowed out steam (which again not always bad) but I felt like nothing that was happening on those threads were anyway productive to the pro-life movement; and this isn't an unusual thing: look on any abortion thread.

[Toki]

Abortion may seem like something that we can't do anything but blow steam about, however, what if, as a ping list, when we heard about an abortionist, or anyone involved in abortion (good or bad), instead of blowing steam, (which may feel good at the time, but is not very productive) we prayed for them, for the workers, providers, people who are looking to get them, or have, that Christ come into their lives. Or the people that are pro-life, that we support them with prayers. This would be a very precise prayer-ping list, due to the fact there are already encompassing prayer lists. However, I felt God put this on my heart, and so I'm starting it.

So we would be praying for Christ to come into the lives of those involved in abortion, Christ and discernment not to have an abortion for those considering it, and Christ and healing into the lives of those who have had one. We will bless, not curse.

We would also be praying for protection, strength, and guidance from God for the ones in the pro-life movement, ones on the front lines.

We would also pray for our leaders (I know I know, but Paul said pray for your leaders, when Nero was in power [I'm pretty sure about the historical correctness of this]), bills, court cases, and for the end of abortion, but also the easement of adoption laws, so that more children can be placed and adopted homes when this happens.

We will also praise God when there is a victory for even one child, because in this battle, one victory is precious; also for bills and laws passed that help the movement.

We might also build up a database of names, sorta like a prayer list as time goes by (I know I will, you could also post names of people in it here to start it)

I truly think that this can be a powerful tool in God's hands, because without prayer, God may not act.

"When two or more gather in my name to pray, I am present." And with as many people as there are on Free Republic, well that's a lot more than two :D.

You don't have to write a prayer, but if you would remember these people in your prayer life... we could help, God willing.

If you have read this far, and are considering wanting to join, would you think a traditional ping list where I and some help (if anyone would like to) would post on every article, or a weekly post where if anyone finds anything we could post, articles, prayers, etc would be better (I think the first one might be more effect, other one would allow more particpation, though the first everyone could use the ping if we posted it somewhere?)

Three, well four, people we can start with:

Physician LeRoy Carhart- A third term abortionist, who wants to take up the mantle of Tiller. He, however, does not have a place to practice. Pray for his conversion to Christ.

Rozalyn Farmer Love A Med Student at Aubrun University, she wishes to be a gynecologist/obgyn and preform abortions, including third term. However, she also wishes to help woman to give birth; I pray for her to turn to or back to Christ and that she may help women bring these wonderful lives into the world with her life.

Reverend Katherine Ragsdale- Once again in the news, to be president and dean of Cambridge's Episcopal Divinity School, said abortion is a blessing. May God show her that the baby is a blessing, and something that takes it's life away isn't.

MYAH a mother who gain attention within the Pro-life movement for he child Faith Hope, who she carried to term even when the child was diagnosed with anencephaly, where the neural nodes doesn't develop, and the child has very little brain tissues. Her child, which she was pushed to abort because the child because the doctor said that it would not live outside the womb, live 90 days before going to heaven. She is now starting a site for prayer for other mothers with Children who need prayer. Pray for her success, comfort, and her newest prayer request, Tabitha and baby Bennett, who is praying for God to do what man cannot about her child having anencephaly.

I look back at the list... wooh... I'll hit all the articles I can...Thank you,

I would like to add this:

For the township of East Norriton, PA, where Einstein hospital (an abortion providing hospital) wants to build a new hospital. Let’s pray that the people of east Norriton don’t allow this to happen.

[Toki]

Thank you, I forgot about that. (maybe there is something to this open thread...)

[FutureRocketMan]

I would also like to put this out there for community prayers:

in Philadelphia, there is an abortion clinic on 777 Appletree Lane. I once went there to give witness to Christ and the pro-life movement, handing out pamphlets for pregnancy crisis centers. There was this one women who, being guarded by the escorts, was crying visibly. I feel much remorse that she didn’t take a pamplet. I pray for that God helps here through the pain and suffering.

[Toki]

Would you be interested?

[Mr. Silverback]

Ping me!

[FutureRocketMan]

I would like to add Hilary Clinton to the list. She is likely the most powerful, highly regarded woman in the Democratic party. Whichever way she goes, many will follow. I pray that whe turns to the pro-life cause, ultimately leading many to follow.

[Toki]

Yay! Thank you.

[Toki]

All good ones :D. Nice to know I”m not the only young person on here :D.

[allmost]

If only it was possible...

[Toki]

I know, I didn’t think to put Legal, but why not pray for the illegal ones too? I know they happen in places, especially Russia, where it is Illegal (and at one of the highest rates also)

[allmost]

Ask a leftist to take their pregnant cat to get an abortion.

[wintertime]

I pray that the pro-lifers will work like crazy to assure honest elections, and to elect pro-life representatives.

[allmost]

Open up the dialog. Not sure about you.

[Toki]

huh? I’m not sure what you mean, but you can ask me anything you want..?

[allmost]

Just me being stupid. Can i apologize?

[allmost]

Please. :)

[Toki]

sure?? your forgiven either way :D. Though if you really want to know who I am, it’s fine :D. I am student at Berry College :D, graduating next semester in Communication, (you can check through my older postings)

[Toki]

and duh, the most important of all, (I think) one of the more conservative people on campus (I can’t say most, we have a Christian Leadership program that is amazing)

[allmost]

No no no. nothing. Shut up I don’t care. I’m serious. Shut up, lose the fingers here.
