Today, I want to pray over you. That “the Lord bless you and keep you; the Lord make his face shine on you and be gracious to you; the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.” (Numbers 6:24-26)
You Serve a Living God
He sees your faithfulness in standing for the unborn. He sees your dedication and your trials that have come your way for standing against abortion. He sees how you have persevered in your faith in our Lord Jesus Christ. I pray for God’s strength to keep you in the darkest of times and to encourage you to keep fighting the good fight. In His name, a prayer of blessing be over you today.
Know that our prayers are not in vain because they go to a God who is a loving Father. The same God who “bends down to listen” (Psalm 116:2) and has promised that “for where two or three are gathered together in [His] name, [He says,] there am I in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20)
His heart goes out to the innocent and the hurting.
Be reminded that no matter how hard things may get and how long the road ahead for righteousness and justice may seem, we serve a living God who is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Know that “we [will be] hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9)
Jesus said in John, “In this world you will have trouble. But take heart! I have overcome the world.”
I lift a prayer of blessing, that “the Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, [and who] lives in you” (Romans 8:11) will empower you to continue in the race to see abortion end. Put on the armor of God each day. No one goes to battle without armor and weapons. “Therefore put on the full armor of God, so that when the day of evil comes, you may be able to stand your ground, and after you have done everything, to stand.
“Stand firm then, with the belt of truth buckled around your waist, with the breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the readiness that comes from the gospel of peace. In addition to all this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming arrows of the evil one. Take the helmet of salvation and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God.” (Ephesians 6:13-17)
Lastly, I raise a prayer of blessing over your life and your family that He keeps you under the shadow of His wing and walks before you in your coming and going and be all around you.
Thank you for your commitment of prayer, fasting, and peaceful vigil, and may God be with you.
