“40 Days for Life”
Your community is full of people who want to steer you in the right direction.
Take 40 Days for Life, for example. Twice a year, there is a peaceful vigil outside Planned Parenthood and other abortion facilities. Volunteers sign-up to silently pray outside during a 40-day span.
I made new friends of other faiths at my first 40 Days for Life vigil. What a wonderful group of people!
Some things volunteers might pray for while on the sidewalk:
Mothers facing unexpected pregnancies to have courage to cancel their appointments
For mothers and fathers to understand what the act of abortion does to the preborn
Fathers to have the courage to support a family
Parents to feel joy of having a child
Mothers and babies to find a safe place to stay
Friends and families of expectant mothers
That every child may reach his or her purpose
Abortion doctors and nurses to change their hearts and support life
Faith that God will work miracles
Grace to respond with kindness to those who persecute
For every woman suffering from the grief and guilt of having an abortion to find help and peace
Parents facing difficult pregnancies
Volunteers steer women toward their local pregnancy help centers, where ultrasounds are at no cost and confidential.
