40 Days For Life Day 12

--------------------------------------------------
DAY 12 INTENTION
--------------------------------------------------

Pray to God who is able to do immeasurably more
than all we ask or imagine, to end abortion in
America.

--------------------------------------------------
SCRIPTURE
--------------------------------------------------

Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly
abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works in us, to Him be
glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all
generations, forever and ever. Amen.

-- Ephesians 3:20-21

--------------------------------------------------
REFLECTION
--------------------------------------------------

God's power working in and through His people is
unlimited and far beyond our comprehension when we
submit to God's Word and Spirit. He receives glory
when we are obedient to His calling and faithfully
serve Him in His strength.

Consider God's hand of providence on this nation
because of the faithfulness of a few who were
totally committed to God and His truths.

It is interesting to note the words of Mother
Teresa of Calcutta: "Yours is the one great nation
in all history which was founded on the precept of
equal rights and respect for all humankind, for
the poorest and weakest of us as well as the
richest and strongest."

Mother Teresa, in addressing the Supreme Court of
the United States said, "Human rights are not a
privilege conferred by government. They are every
human being's entitlement by virtue of his
humanity. I have no new teaching for America. I
seek only to recall you to faithfulness to what
you once taught the world.

She continued, "Your nation was founded on the
proposition very old as a moral precept, but
startling and innovative as a political insight
that human life is a gift of immeasurable worth,
and that it deserves, always and everywhere, to be
treated with the utmost dignity and respect."

It is time to restore that dignity and respect.
Our God is able. Are we willing to remain faithful
until His work through us is done?

--------------------------------------------------
PRAYER
--------------------------------------------------

God Almighty, Who is powerful and willing to
supply, our hearts cry in unison for You to
restore dignity and respect to human life, not
only in America, but around the world.

Lord, may our hearts remain faithful to your
calling, and may You begin Your transforming work
with me.

Keep me ever mindful that with You Lord, nothing
is impossible; without You, I can do nothing. To
You be glory forever and ever. In Jesus name, Amen.

--------------------------------------------------

This is the day that the Lord has made, let us
rejoice and be glad in it!

Yours for Life,
