This morning as I was praying I began to pray for the unborn and for the ending of abortion. As I prayed the Lord began to speak to me about how I, and I think many people in our nation, see the issue of abortion. I pray about it when I "feel lead" to pray; I treat it almost as a side issue and view it as political leverage. I don't think I consciously realized this but when the Lord pointed this out to me I realized: this is not how the Lord sees it. The Lord's heart breaks and cries out for His children; this is no side political issue for Him. This is front and center. And our nation cannot continue in ignorance or numbness to bloodshed of His children.
So I invite you to join me. To join me in praying for the unborn. To join in me in asking the Lord to move our nation into a position to receive mercy instead of judgement. To join me in feeling the heartbreak of God and asking the Lord every day to have mercy on us and end abortion. To join me in praying, "Jesus, I plead Your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God, end abortion and send revival to America."
Janae, I remembered this post when I read the story at the link below. A mother who didn't abort her daughter finally finds her 77 years later.
