40 Days For Life Day 9

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

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. In Jesus name
we pray, Amen.

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

If you know someone who has experienced the pain
of an abortion, pray for them, and let them know
that they can find hope and healing.
