WHY PRAY DURING 40 DAYS FOR LIFE?


Doesn’t God already know what we are thinking, even before we pray? So you say, why waste our time telling Him something that He already knows? In prayer we are communicating with God and getting closer to Him. Through Prayer we offer our praise and worship to the one true God who deserves all praise and glory. Prayer is a two way street. We talk to God and God talks to us. We must humble ourselves, pray, seek His face and turn from our wicked ways, if we expect God to hear from heaven, forgive our sins, and heal our land from this horrific travesty of killing His unborn children.


We are all human and come to God in brokenness and repentance over our sins. We cry out for God’s mercy and ask for the scourge of abortion to be removed from our land. When we pray together for a culture of life it creates unity, encourages one another to be more out spoken, to love one another and brings about a change of heart to help those in need and not be critical or judgmental. Dozens of babies have been spared since we have been praying at Planned Parenthood: please know our prayers are already being answered.


So, if your prayer life isn’t what it ought to be, don’t be upset, just join us! Maybe you hadn’t grasped how important prayer really is? Now that you know, ask for God’s help for us all, for this realm more than any, apart from Him we can do nothing. There is no chance we can end abortion without God’s divine intervention, which requires prayer and fasting on our part.


Dear Lord, as you lead us into this spiritual battle of life over death may we be reminded the battle is truly Yours and bigger then anyone of us can solve on our own. "We know that all things work for the good for those who love God" (Romans 8:28).
