On this, the 42nd anniversary of Roe vs. Wade I
pray for the March for Life in Washington D.C. and for the Unborn Child Pain
Protection Act which would outlaw late term abortions in America (one of only
seven remaining countries in the world to do so). I think about the politicians and how corrupt
so many are and I pray for our President who promises to veto any such bill. I pray for those who are coming to march and
the 49 late term abortion babies who will die every day this year - most if not
all, able to live viably outside the womb.
I pray for the doctors and the abortion clinic workers who are still so
blind to the truth. I pray they will
quit and find life giving work elsewhere.
Whenever I think about abortion I think about being called
by God to the country of Germany where another unspeakable holocaust occurred
less than a century ago. It was a
holocaust against the Jewish people, the disabled, the less than Hitler’s
perfect standard and I pray for continued restoration and healing for the
German people. I pray that with the
influx of refugees that Germany doesn’t return to a country that doesn’t
welcome anyone other than its own. I
think also of Israel and I pray for those that are suffering - for strength for
the families, for the constant threat that they face and for their deep desire
to live in peace with their Middle Eastern neighbors. I pray as well for the flood of Jews
returning to Israel in fulfillment of biblical prophesies.
I pray for the state of our world today and the pure evil
that is seen in the news reports from the killings in Nigeria to the
persecutions in Iraq and Syria to the murder of innocent school children in
Pakistan. I pray for those that don’t
have the freedoms we have to live in comfort and peace – physically or
spiritually. I pray for the refugees
that have come to seek a better home here in Germany and for the thousands that
literally surround our area. I pray for
tolerance and better laws, for peace and for justice. I pray for those who are struggling to
assimilate into the German culture, to learn the language and to find
work. The great majority don’t know
Christ nor his gospel and I pray to the Lord of the harvest that He will send more
laborers into His harvest field because the workers are few. I pray for opportunities in our German class to
speak about God and how He has changed our lives.
I look and see the world around me and I pray for peace within
myself. That in the midst of so much
work to be done I would always remember that Jesus is in fact returning and
that truth and order will finally reign instead of chaos and lies. We start to study the book of Revelation in
our Monday night bible study next week and in the wake of world events it’s
both frightening and awesome what lies ahead.
I pray for my non-Christian friends and family that the Holy Spirit
would truly open their eyes so they could see truth before their time on earth
is done. Finally I pray for our marriage
that is under constant spiritual attack and for the safety and protection of
our little girl. We pray together for
wisdom to continue to raise her to love God and others.
Thank you for praying for and with us. Thank you for standing with us with your
support and for coming to our need regarding our recent deficit. God saw fit to eliminate it by the end of
2014 which was such a miracle. Thank
you for being used by God to make that happen.
We focus now on the work to be done and continue to give God glory for
all He has done and has yet to do. We
are so grateful for you!
