Answered Prayers Today

40 Days for Life


We were blessed today when two women change their minds and left the abortion mill.


The first woman was crying so hard. When I saw her leaving in her car, I thought she was crying because she was regretting the abortion. But within minutes a Pro Life friend told me, that the lady had stopped to let us know that she did not have the abortion. No one in our Pro Life group had spoken with her. The Lord moved in her heart and she changed her mind.


The second woman was a young lady of college age. She spent a long time talking with one of the Pro Life men about her life. I believe that God was present during this conversation.

He did not share their talk with anyone. Only that, She did want us to know she changed her mind.



It is not every day in the battle to save babies lives that we get to hear our prayers have been answered. They could have left and never said a word. I am so grateful to them for sharing.


Please keep praying!!

40 Days for Life


People all over the country will be gathering around abortion clinics 24 hours a day for the next 40 days praying for the closure of these places. But along with that request will be prayers for the women and the babies.


Some women who had abortions and regret them will come to pray to our Lord about that child and the life that was lost.

Some will pray for grand children that were never born.

Some will pray for the souls of the babies that have died.

And some will be there because they chose to keep their baby and want to say thank you Lord for this precious life.

Others will be there asking God to watch over a baby they gave up for adoption.


I will be there asking God to guide me into ways that can help. To show me how to open people’s eyes to the horrible death these babies endure. To help bring the truth of what happens during an abortion.


Below are two prayers that I have prayed over the years.

They are not word for word but I hope they can help you. I believed that once you start, God will talk with you and your heart will open up and the words will start pouring out. Just pray.



Prayer for hurting women

Dear Lord,

I do not know how to help the women who come here. I understand each woman is hurting deeply. And that she must feel so alone right now. I have never been good at dealing with emotions. If I can help then send me a woman who I can help. I live a life far apart from women who may come here,at least I think I do. But God, I just know I want to help the women in need. So please, show me how.

Amen






Prayer for babies

Dear Lord,

Unless you come today then I know that more babies will be kill here in this place. I know that the procedures are very painful to the babies. I know that their nervous system is working and their hearts are beating. Please dear Lord, if there is someway to protect them from the pain please do it. Please dear Lord, spare them. I hate that they are ripped apart or burned or cut apart. Please Lord, can you stop the pain they will feel. And God, I am sorry that we have let these babies down. That we let our country go in this direction.

Amen

Why do men leave?



I watch men on Saturday mornings drive into the parking lot at the

Charleston Women’s Medical Center in South Carolina.


I see man after man drop off women.

Some men do not get out of the car.

Some men will go inside for a few minutes

only to return and get into the car to drive away.

All the while knowing that he has left her in there to kill his baby.


I know I am assuming that he is the father.

But if he is not, he has still left her there alone to go through the hardest thing she will ever do.

Lay down on a table while a doctor kills her baby.


If you do not know how an abortion is done, please pause now and google the procedures.

And after you have read them,

see if you can figure out how a man could walk away

from a woman about to go through that!


It disturbs me to see these women abandon.


A man wants to have the baby killed to protect him from what?

What will this baby do to you? How will this baby change your life?


Of course as of yet, not one man has stopped to tell me why.

So I can only go on what I see.

I see men, walking away from what they have done.

I see men, who do not believe in life.

And I see cowards driving away.

I see men who abuse women.

Who hate babies.

I see men who have no problem knowing that a baby is dying

so he can have what he wants.

And I have no respect for them.


Do I believe that a man might have begged her not to have an abortion?

Of course I do. I am not naive.

I understand that some women will want an abortion

and the man will beg her not to.

In those cases I believe she might have a friend drive her

or he might refuse to drive her.


Which leaves me back to what I see each Saturday.

Men driving away.

Women left alone.

And an innocent baby dying.

Views from behind my pro-life sign

What lives in the Heart of a Woman?


I know people, will say that the circumstances of a woman's life is only what really matters when she is making the choice to have an abortion.


They will tell you that she will need to have provisions for her and her child. And if she does have the money to provide, then what about a support system? She must have a good support system, maybe a village to help raise the child. Then of course there are those who would say that a woman needs to grow personally for herself, maybe pursue a career goal, a lifetime dream or just enjoy a few more years to herself or with her partner. And I am sure there can be more "what if this ...."


And that is why I say, it all comes down to what is inside a woman's heart.

Life changes. It always will.

She has money today, she may not tomorrow.

If she has a great support system today, she may not tomorrow.

We all plan for a better tomorrow. We wash our clothes, go to work, shop for food, date, visit friends & family all in hopes of tomorrow. All in hopes of making tomorrow better for ourselves and those we love. But bad things happen everyday, we hear the stories on the news, from friends and co-workers or it happens to us. No one really knows what tomorrow will bring.


BUT the truth of the matter is this:

A woman wants an abortion NOT the way she desires a new car,

but the way an animal wants to chew off its leg to get free from a trap.


The next time you talk with a woman who is considering an abortion, please, please, remember that. And offer, to do some leg work to help her find real options that do help.
