10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy. I came that they may have life and have it abundantly. ~ John 10:10
Today is National Sanctity of Life Day. This day was first proclaimed by President Ronald Reagan in 1984 to honor the sanctity of human life and to mark the anniversary of the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Roe v. Wade on January 22nd, 1973, which legalized abortion in the United States at a Federal level. Today, even though Roe v. Wade was overturned on June 24th, 2022, the life of the unborn is still not counted as a life worth saving or even as a life, period.
If you walk around any secular college today and ask them their view on abortion, they will tell you they’re not only for it, but it is a human right because the fetus inside of the woman is a literal parasite. Imagine, the living baby inside of its mother’s womb is a parasite to this up-and-coming generation.
According to the American Heritage Dictionary, a parasite is:
(Biology) An organism that lives and feeds on or in an organism of a different species and causes harm to its host.
Does that sound like the journey of pregnancy that each and every one of us experienced to get here? No. No, it does not. But this is what is being indoctrinated into our young people today. But why? Why is abortion being pushed on our society so aggressively? I believe it is because there is a darker, more sinister evil behind the scenes guiding those in power.
10 The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy.
John 10:10a
According to God, we are fearfully and wonderfully made (Psalms 139:14). We are knitted together and formed by Him in our mother’s womb (Jeremiah 1:5). No unborn child in their mother’s womb is a parasite. This lie is pushed by the enemy in order to demean and lower the value of human life, so that he can more easily convince us to help him destroy humanity as a whole.
Therefore, today, let us spend a little extra time in prayer for all the unborn children that are at risk of being aborted. Let us pray for repentance of all of the millions of unborn children that have already been needlessly aborted. And let us pray for an awakening and change in our society, so that we, as a nation, might see that all life starts at conception.
Dear LORD, I pray for forgiveness for our people and all of the innocent blood that has been shed on our land. I pray that You would have mercy on America and forgive us for allowing this unnecessary bloodshed to continue for so long. I ask that You would heal this land and send conviction over the land, that we might turn away from the altars of self-indulgence, and instead, turn our eyes back to You. Please help me to stand for righteousness regardless of where I am or who I am around. Help me to never cave to evil, but to always stand for good. In Jesus’ name, I pray, amen.
