A Prayer to Stop the Extreme Abortion Ballot Initiatives
Lord God, You are the Father of Life. Your Son Jesus Christ has abolished death Through his own death and resurrection.
You make us the People of Life And the People of Hope, As we encourage others to choose life for their children And to choose the eternal life that comes from Faith in you.
Lord, in every age you have set your people free From oppression, slavery and death. You once chose a people And delivered them from oppression in Egypt.
After mighty signs and wonders, you led them to the Red Sea, But then Pharaoh and his army, with hardened hearts, Pursued your people to lead them back to slavery.
Lord, we are in a similar moment. We have been delivered from the oppression of Roe v. Wade. But now, in their hardness of heart, Our adversaries are advancing With destructive ballot measures for unlimited abortion.
Lord, as your people faced the army on one side and the sea on the other, You commanded Moses, “Tell the Israelites to go forward!”
At this moment, you tell us to go forward as well.
You command us to speak the word of truth To defeat the lies behind these ballot measures.
You command us to speak the word of hope To strengthen all who fight for life.
You command us to speak the word of love To all those we seek to save from the destructive force of abortion.
Lord, part the waters and lead your people to victory. Give success to the work of our hands. Give wisdom to the voters to see through pro-abortion lies. Stop in their tracks the efforts of those who promote late-term abortion, And who try to eliminate parental involvement, informed consent, Clinic safety laws, and every other regulation on abortion.
May we, the People of Life, see your Victory over this evil. May we stop at no sacrifice and spare no effort To protect the unborn and their families And to preserve the many pro-life policies threatened by these ballot measures.
Preserve our nation, preserve our states and their Constitutions, And preserve your people Under the shadow of your wings and the grace of your salvation.
We pray through Christ our Lord. Amen.
