Day 31 - words

Sometimes the words of another allow us to pray the burden that's on our hearts.  This is a prayer that we often pray at our 40 Days for Life organizational meetings:

Lord God, I thank you today for the gift of my life,

And for the lives of all my brothers and sisters.

I know there is nothing that destroys more life than abortion,

Yet I rejoice that you have conquered death

by the resurrection of Your Son.

I am ready to do my part in ending abortion.

Today I commit myself

Never to be silent,

Never to be passive,

Never to be forgetful of the unborn.

I commit myself to be active in the prolife movement,

And never to stop defending life

Until all my brothers and sisters are protected,

And our nation once again becomes

A nation with liberty and justice

not just for some, but for all,

Through Christ our Lord. Amen!
