Together, we start our seven day journey of prayer and fasting for the unborn.
Every morning for the next week, you will receive a prayer guide like the one below.
Want to share this journey with others in your church or prayer group? Encourage them to go to

Today is Sanctity of Life Sunday and we will be focusing our prayer efforts on the unborn life.
Jeremiah 1:5 (NKJV)
Before I formed you in the womb I knew you; Before you were born I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.
Central to the argument around the abortion issue is the question, “When does life begin?”
The question is not to be answered by doctors, lawyers, judges, political leaders, or presidents. Even
Christians are not qualified to answer from their personal opinions.
Life is a gift from God, and He alone makes that determination.
According to scripture, God’s creation of Jeremiah began even before he was conceived in the womb. Before Jeremiah had a heartbeat, there was a God ordained destiny for him.
Every week in America, 3500 babies lose their lives to abortion. Those children are no different than our children in the eyes of God. They deserve our protection.
Let’s join in prayer, believing that every life created by God will be protected.
Father,
You
spoke life into existence at creation and continue to create life day
after day. We recognize the miracle of conception and how Your power is
at work forming the unborn. We ask that Your hand of protection would
be outstretched over these precious ones, that they might reach their
full potential and fulfill their destiny for Your glory.
We
ask for a time to come soon when the sanctity of life will be honored,
when babies in the womb will receive the protection they deserve, and
when the atrocity of abortion will no longer be allowed.
Show mercy to this nation and teach us to once again respect Your gift of life.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
