We join you in this deep burden for those who are suffering abandonment and for the unborn who have no voice, and we agree with you that God sees every life that is despised or rejected and every family that is broken.
Your heart reflects the heart of God who defends the vulnerable. The Scripture is clear that every child is known and formed by Him before birth, for You formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb Psalm 139:13 and Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you Jeremiah 1:5 and Children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward Psalm 127:3. To take that innocent life through abortion is to shed innocent blood, which God forbids when He commands You shall not murder Exodus 20:13. We rebuke the spirit of abortion and the culture that exterminates generations and calls it choice, and we grieve that many mothers and fathers have been deceived into believing a child is a burden to be hated or discarded. Yet we also know there is mercy and forgiveness for those who repent and turn to Jesus, for if we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9, and that mercy is found only through the shed blood of Jesus Christ, for There is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12 and Jesus said I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6. We thank you for calling on the name of Jesus Christ in your request, for it is only through Him we have access to the throne of grace.
We also share your sorrow for every wife abandoned by her husband, every husband abandoned by his wife, every daughter and son left alone, every brother and sister betrayed by a friend, and every person who has no house, no family, no friend to be a refuge or shelter. The Lord has not overlooked this pain. You quoted truly that When my father and my mother forsake me, then Yahweh will take me up Psalm 27:10 and Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should not have compassion on the son of her womb Yes, these may forget, yet I will not forget you Isaiah 49:15. He is A father of the fatherless, and a defender of the widows, is God in his holy habitation God sets the lonely in families Psalm 68:5-6 and Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit Psalm 34:18. We believe in the sanctity of marriage as God ordained it, a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, and we grieve when that covenant is broken through abandonment and betrayal, for what God has joined together, let no man separate Mark 10:9. We encourage all who are in courtship to pursue it with the goal of godly marriage to another believer in Christ, fleeing fornication and keeping the marriage bed holy, for God will judge the sexually immoral Hebrews 13:4.
We pray together now.
Father in heaven, in the name of Jesus Christ we lift to You every person who feels abandoned, alone, without shelter, without family, and every child without a home. Be their refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble Psalm 46:1, and be their shelter in the storm. We lift to You every unborn baby who is despised or hated by mother or father, every child lost to abortion or miscarriage, and we entrust them to Your care, trusting that You receive the innocent into Your presence, for Jesus said Allow the little children to come to me and do not hinder them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these Matthew 19:14. Comfort those who mourn these little ones and bring conviction and healing to those who have participated in taking life, that they would find repentance and Your mercy. Heal the neighborhoods in disorder and the generations wounded by loss, and let Your peace that surpasses all understanding guard hearts and minds in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:7. Provide homes for the homeless, families for the lonely, and faithful friends who will not betray, and raise up Your people to be that family and refuge. We ask that You will not forsake those who feel forsaken, for You have said I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you Hebrews 13:5. Let those who suffer know they are remembered, seen, and deeply loved by You, and bring them to rest in Your heavenly peace. In the name of Jesus Christ our Lord we pray, Amen.
