For judges to uphold the sanctity of life, No. 2

*** That judges would endeavor to restore the sanctity of life in our nation.

Psalm 139:19
Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men.

Please pray with me:

Heavenly Father,
You are the Giver of Life. We all have received the gift of life and breath from You. Thank You. You have created us to need air to breathe. We need food and water to live. Our bodies are finite and we all have immediate needs to survive. Thank You.

You are the Giver of Life. As our "science" progresses, many have determined that with our genetic understanding, we are somehow able to create a living being. On the one hand we tamper with Your creation with our limited understanding and experiment with it. On the other hand we have sanitized death. We have made it convenient to take the life of others. Father, crush our arrogance. Restore our humility.

You are the Giver of Life. We look across the tapestry of the world's political agendas and see many who eagerly take the lives of others in the name of their beliefs. We see the gruesomeness of it. Yet, when we turn to our own landscape, here in the U.S., we seem to overlook our abortion issue. We seem to pass over the "beam in our own eye."

Matthew 7:5
Thou hypocrite, first cast out the beam out of thine own eye; and then shalt thou see clearly to cast out the mote out of thy brother's eye.

At the highest level of power in our nation, our very own judges have not preserved the truth that You are the Giver of Life. Cause them to think differently. Cause us all to think differently. Bring us to our knees before You and may we each take responsibility for our part in this travesty. I have not prayed diligently for our leaders, including our judges. Forgive me and fill me with prayers before Your throne of grace.

Raise us up as prayer leaders on behalf of those who make the laws, those who have responsibility to hold us all accountable for it, and those are caught in the mix.

Father, so many people have been caught in the abortion industry. You know their hearts. The laws of our land make it convenient to be a part of the death spiral—the sensitization and convenience of taking life. It is so well hidden from others that it is easy to ignore. Help us to focus. Help us to pray.

For those who are directly involved, open their eyes, their hearts to know that You are the Giver of Life. Help us all to subject our selves to Your Truth. Lead us to find Jesus Christ, who gave His life that we might live. Raise up advocates and spokespersons before lawmakers, parents, citizens, and bring this atrocity to light, Fill us with prayers that we may be found faithful in the day of His coming.

In Jesus’ Name.
