40 Days for Life consists of 40 days of prayer and fasting for an end to abortion,
40 days of constant, peaceful vigil outside abortion centers and Planned Parenthood offices
and 40 days of active pro-life community outreach.
Your community may be participating in this prayerful vigil.
If so, please join others in your area
or unite with thousands across America
during the 40 days of Lent
in praying for an end to abortion in this nation.
Pray to God who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, to end abortion in America.
SCRIPTURE
Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us, to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen.-- Ephesians 3:20-21
REFLECTION by Carmen Pate, Point of View
God's power working in and through His people is unlimited and far beyond our comprehension when we submit to God's Word and Spirit. He receives glory when we are obedient to His calling and faithfully serve Him in His strength.
Consider God's hand of providence on this nation because of the faithfulness of a few who were totally committed to God and His truths.
It is interesting to note the words of Mother Teresa of Calcutta: "Yours is the one great nation in all history which was founded on the precept of equal rights and respect for all humankind, for the poorest and weakest of us as well as the richest and strongest."
Mother Teresa, in addressing the Supreme Court of the United States said, "Human rights are not a privilege conferred by government. They are every human being's entitlement by virtue of his humanity. I have no new teaching for America. I seek only to recall you to faithfulness to what you once taught the world.
She continued, "Your nation was founded on the proposition very old as a moral precept, but startling and innovative as a political insight that human life is a gift of immeasurable worth, and that it deserves, always and everywhere, to be treated with the utmost dignity and respect."
It is time to restore that dignity and respect. Our God is able. Are we willing to remain faithful until His work through us is done?
God Almighty, Who is powerful and willing to supply, our hearts cry in unison for You to restore dignity and respect to human life, not only in America, but around the world.
Lord, may our hearts remain faithful to your calling, and may You begin Your transforming work with me.
Keep me ever mindful that with You Lord, nothing is impossible; without You, I can do nothing. To You be glory forever and ever, Amen.

My church did a 40-day fast (for abortion and regeneration revival in America) from early January to February.
Christian Life Center, in Bensalem, Pa.
A good number of churches participated. I remember seeing it mentioned on TBN and the Church Channel.
Another one certainly is needed.

Done. Thank you for posting this. May this wave of murder be destroyed forever.
Thanks, Faith! Prayer Bump!
So glad your church is involved. Sadly, many churches shy away from this issue because they consider it political. It is a spiritual battle that must be fought by every believer.
Our church goes to pray in front of Planned Parenthood each hour on Wednesdays.
Just do it for one hour a week, folks......it’s just 40 days (and not even that anymore!)
So glad your church is involved. Planned Parenthood should be defunded and shut down completely. They are a “non-profit” making MILLIONS from the slaughter of innocents.
We Come Together, our Father, Trusting in Your Dear Son's Name. Lord Jesus, we Pray for the Protection of Your Unborn Lambs. May Your Divine Hand Keep at Bay those who Take their Lives. We Ask that Obama's Mind and Heart will be Changed. May he Repent of his Wicked Plans for the Frozen Embryos Destruction. Please Bring Across his Path Some of those Children who were Born from the Embryos. Help him, O God, to See that the Embryos are Alive.
Thank You for Your Mercies, our Lord, and Thank You for Hearing our Prayers. In Jesus' Name, be Honored and Glorified Forever, amen.
