Neighbor’s unborn dies babies / all dies ancient generation extermination

[Chrysostom]

Your prayer for those who suffer abandonment and for the unborn has been heard, and we join our hearts with yours before the Lord in the name of Jesus Christ.

We bring before God all who feel forsaken, the wife abandoned by her husband, the husband abandoned by his wife, the daughter and son left alone, the children without shelter, the brother and sister betrayed by friends, and every neighbor who has no house or refuge to turn to. We ask the Father to show Himself as their shelter and defender, to provide for their daily needs, to give them a safe place to dwell, and to surround them with faithful people who will care for them in love. We pray especially for those who are homeless and for those whose minds and hearts are troubled, that God would grant them peace, protection, and healing.

We also lift up every unborn child who is despised or rejected, every child lost through abortion or miscarriage or death. We entrust these little ones to the mercy and care of God, asking Him in His compassion to receive them. We pray for mothers and fathers who are burdened or hardened, that God would grant repentance, healing, and a love for life, and that He would comfort all who mourn these losses. We ask for mercy for families and generations torn apart, that God would bring restoration where there has been destruction and that He would let His life and hope be seen in the next generation.

We cling to the promises you recalled, that though father and mother may forsake us, the Lord will receive us, and that even if a mother could forget her nursing child, the Lord will not forget His own. He does not abandon those who belong to Him, and salvation and mercy are found in Jesus Christ alone.

May the Lord grant comfort to the grieving, shelter to the homeless, family to the lonely, and rest in His presence to those who have died. May He turn hearts toward Himself, strengthen marriages as the lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and teach us to walk in purity and faithfulness before Him. We ask all this trusting in the mercy of God through Jesus Christ our Lord, who alone saves and who alone gives eternal peace. Amen.

 

[Silas]

Your heart for those who feel abandoned and for the little ones who have no voice is precious to the Lord, and He hears this kind of prayer. The grief you describe is real, the loss of family, the loneliness of children without a home, the pain of a neighborhood in disorder, and the sorrow over unborn lives who were despised or rejected. Scripture speaks directly to that abandonment. Though my father and my mother forsake me, the Lord will receive me, and though a mother might forget the child at her breast, the Lord says He will not forget. Even when earthly love fails, His compassion does not fail.

Jesus showed how deep that compassion is. When He restored a little girl to life, He did it out of mercy for her grieving parents, for her own sake He could have left her in the peace of His kingdom. That tells us how tenderly He regards both children and those who mourn them. We can entrust every innocent child, every miscarried and aborted little one, to His care and ask for His mercy to receive them into heaven. It is not our goodness but His mercy through Jesus Christ alone that gives rest and peace in His presence.

The Bible also tells us that He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. Matthew applies the prophecy of Isaiah to the healing ministry of Jesus, that He took our infirmities and sicknesses. That suffering of Christ covers both spiritual and physical healing. He went about teaching and preaching and healing every sickness among the people, showing His authority in the physical realm and in the spiritual realm over evil powers. He still heals today, and all true healing is from Him, whether it comes in a moment as you can feel it happen, or gradually through the natural processes He has built into our bodies, or as a healing of the mind and heart from deep wounds and scars. We do not always understand why some are healed in one way and others are not, and we cannot presume that God wills a particular healing in every case as we expect. Paul prayed three times concerning his thorn and learned to trust God's will and grace. What we can know is that God is able, that He is not confined to one pattern, and that He does not work through showmanship or frenzy, but with genuine love and power.

Pain and grief are heavy, and they often become the tools God uses to shape character and to form His image in us, not because He delights in suffering, but because He redeems it. For those who have no house, no family, no friend for refuge, the Lord Himself is a refuge, and He has given the family of God, the body of Christ, so that wherever believers meet there can be warmth and shelter and a sense of being at home.

We join you in praying for mercy. We ask the Lord to comfort every wife and husband, son and daughter, brother and sister and friend who has been abandoned or betrayed, and every child who feels alone. We ask Him to provide shelter and faithful support for those without a home, to bring order where there is disorder, and to heal the spirit of abandonment. We ask Him to give mothers and fathers a heart of compassion for their children, and to uphold His design for family and for marriage as a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, where life is cherished and protected. We ask Him to bring His healing to bodies and to broken hearts, to guide and to give wisdom, and to let His love prevail even in adversity, so that responses may be marked by kindness. And we entrust all of those little lives into the hands of Jesus, asking that by His mercy they may be with Him, and that those who grieve may know His nearness and hope.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer for all those who are suffering from abandonment and for the abortive spirit in lives and families, for the unborn babies who are despised and rejected, and for the families and generations affected by this loss.

We have continued to bring before the Lord all those you lifted up, the wives and husbands and daughters and sons who feel abandoned and alone, the children left without shelter, the brothers and sisters and friends who have been betrayed and have no house or refuge to support them, and every unborn child who was aborted or miscarried. We pray that God in His mercy will receive these innocent children into His care in heaven and grant them rest in peace, and that He will comfort those who grieve them. We cling to the promises you shared that though father and mother forsake us the Lord will receive us as in Psalm 27:10 and that a mother may forget but the Lord will not forget His own as in Isa 49:15.

We pray in Jesus Name that God will show His mercy and compassion to the abandoned and to the murdered unborn, that He will bring healing to neighborhoods in disorder, provide shelter and refuge for those without family or friends, and let those who feel forsaken know they are not forgotten by Him.

If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know so we may rejoice with you. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek Him through His Son, Jesus Christ. We pray this in Jesus Name, Amen.
