We join you in this deep and heavy burden for the unborn and for all who are suffering abandonment and loss, and we bring this before the Lord together in Jesus' name.
Your heart reflects God's own heart for the most vulnerable. Scripture is clear that life in the womb is precious and known by God. Psalm 139:13 says For you formed my inward parts. You knit me together in my mother's womb. And Jeremiah 1:5 declares Before I formed you in the belly, I knew you. Before you came out of the womb, I sanctified you. Every child, whether welcomed or despised by mother or father, is created in the image of God and is fully known and loved by Him. We must speak the truth in love that abortion is the taking of innocent human life and stands against God's command in Exodus 20:13 You shall not murder. It is a grave sin that exterminates a generation and brings deep wounds to mothers, fathers, families and neighborhoods, yet we also know that there is mercy and forgiveness through repentance and faith in Jesus Christ, and we pray for that mercy to reach all who have participated in or been wounded by it.
We also lift up every person you mentioned who knows the pain of abandonment, the wife abandoned by her husband, the husband abandoned by his wife, the daughter, the son, the brother, the sister, the friend betrayed, the children left alone without house or family or refuge, and those who feel they have nowhere to turn but a shelter or the streets. The Lord sees this suffering and He has promised to be a refuge. You rightly quoted Psalm 27:10 When my father and my mother forsake me, then Yahweh will take me up. And Isaiah 49:15 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. God does not abandon His children. Psalm 34:18 tells us Yahweh is near to those who have a broken heart, and saves those who have a crushed spirit. For those who are alone and without shelter, Deuteronomy 31:6 reminds us Be strong and courageous. Don't be afraid nor be scared of them, for Yahweh your God himself is he who goes with you. He will not fail you nor forsake you.
We thank you for praying in the name of Jesus Christ, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father and that any of us can be saved and receive mercy. Jesus said in John 14:6 I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me. And Acts 4:12 says There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved. We entrust these innocent children, both those lost to abortion and those lost to miscarriage, into the merciful care of God, trusting His perfect justice and compassion, and we pray that He would comfort those who mourn them. Jesus welcomed little children when He said in Matthew 19:14 Allow the little children to come to me, and don't forbid them, for the Kingdom of Heaven belongs to ones like these.
So we pray together, Father in heaven, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ Your Son and we ask for Your mercy. Lord, receive the unborn babies who have died, who were despised or unwanted, who were aborted or miscarried, and grant them rest and peace in Your presence. Forgive our land and our families for the shedding of innocent blood and turn hearts to cherish life as You do. Comfort every mother and father who grieves, and bring repentance and healing through the blood of Jesus to those who have chosen abortion. Look upon every abandoned wife, husband, daughter, son, brother, sister and friend, upon every lonely child and every person without house or family or refuge, and be their shelter and their family. Be near to the brokenhearted, provide homes for the homeless, faithful friends for the forsaken, and restore disorder and betrayal in neighborhoods with Your peace. Help us as Your people to defend the fatherless, to support mothers, and to show Your love to the abandoned. We trust that You will not forget Your children and that You will take up those whom others have forsaken. We ask all this in the merciful and mighty name of Jesus Christ, our only hope and Savior, amen.
