Praying for life

Last week there were several request for prayer concerning those who were considering or talking about ending their lives. We also were saddened by the news of Andrew Koenig and Michael Blosil (Marie Osmond's son). I pray for their families and all families and friends of those who have taken their own lives.
We have become so desensitized to death in this nation that people are beginning to believe that ending their life is a solution to life's problems? Why is depression seem so prevalent in our nation? Ten years ago I never heard of someone being bi-polar and now it seems that so many are diagnosed as bi-polar.


This article from Lifenews cites that young women are more likely to commit suicide and that abortion is one reason for the increase. The study showed that women who had abortions were more likely to commit suicided than women who delivered their babies. The article also said that other studies showed that women who have had abortions have higher rates of depression and mental illness than women who gave birth.

Please continue to pray that we would turn to the Lord Jesus and receive His Love, Mercy, Compassion, Forgiveness, Salvation and the abundant life the He offers to all who will call upon HIs name. Pray for those who are suffering from depression, pray for their families and friends.
The enemy of our souls comes to steal, destroy and murder. Jesus comes to give life and that more abundantly. JOHN 10:10

Praying for the Persecuted Church

My heart is not only for the pre -born but also for those who are persecuted for their faith in Jesus Christ. In many countries in the world it is dangerous to be a Christian. In some countries being a Christian could mean being shunned by your family and community, loss of income and property, imprisonment, beatings, torture and sometimes even execution. Please join me in praying for those who are persecuted.

Attacks against Iraqi Christians appear to be increasing, according to AsiaNews. On Dec. 30, a Christian deacon, Zhaki Homo Bashir, was shot by a group of unknown men as he entered his shop in the district of al Jadida, in Mosul. He was seriously injured and was taken to a hospital. AsiaNews also received a report that a Christian was killed on Christmas Eve; Basil Isho Youhanna was shot in front of his house in northern Mosul.
Mosul has been the target of several church bombings in recent months. In two separate incidents, two churches were bombed in Mosul on Dec. 23, killing one Christian and two Muslims and leaving several injured. On Dec. 15, two churches and a school were targeted in bomb attacks, killing one and wounding 40. Two other churches were bombed on Nov. 26. Continue Reading @ Be A Voice

Pro Life Action League New Website

New Pro Life Website Launched

Today the Pro-Life Action League launched a newly designed website. The most striking feature of the new site is an exciting new design, but the most significant change is the incorporation of a new blog.

The new “Pro-Life Hotline Blog”—named with a nod to my father Joe Scheidler’s call-in newsline—will allow the League staff to offer pro-life news and commentary more quickly and effectively than ever before. It will also allow visitors to the site to comment on pro-life issues.

Another great post from Changing One Heart for Many

"It all DOES boil down to "fetal personhood" doesn't it? The pro-choice camp is obviously very well-versed in what is important to the pro-life camp, doing everything they can to combat the truth of life at conception. We would be wise to be as well-educated on their viewpoint as we are on our own, and well-versed in the truth of the Word. We simply can't effectively fight for the cause of the unborn otherwise."

Prayer for 2010

Prayer:
Heavenly Father it is the beginning of a New Year for us and I pray that we will seek your guidance as to how we are to stand for life. I pray that you will guide and direct our steps. I ask you to raise up voices for the pre born. That this will be the generation that brings an end to abortion. I ask that our hearts and minds will be set upon you and we will stand for life from cradle to grave. I ask that your Holy Spirit will stir the heart of our nation to repentance for the way we have disregarded life. Father raise up those who will stand in the gap for this nation. In Jesus Name I Pray!
