Today we will be focusing our prayer efforts on the Supreme Court of the United States.
Now therefore, be wise, O Kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
There
is no group of individuals who have more earthly influence over the
plight of the unborn in America than the Justices of the U.S. Supreme
Court. They opened the door for legal abortion in 1973, and
they hold the key to stopping the holocaust of innocent, unborn babies
by overturning Roe V. Wade.
In order for this to happen, the Justices need to choose to hear and rule on relevant cases.
Overturning a precedent is rare, but it is not unheard of. We cannot
give up on the chance that God would soften their hearts to the plight
of the unborn. In the book of Daniel, God broke into Nebuchadnezzar’s
dream life when there seemed to be no other way to get the king’s
attention. What dreams might God give the Justices that could turn this
depraved situation around?
Today, let’s join in prayer for each of the current Justices of the Supreme Court: Chief
Justice John Roberts, Antonin Scalia, Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas,
Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Stephen Breyer, Samuel Alito, Sonya Sotomayer, and
Elena Kagan.
Also, pray for President Obama, who would nominate any of their replacements should they retire during his presidency.
Father,
We give thanks that You put kings in place and You remove them according to Your good will. We thank You for the leaders You have given us and ask that You would give them the wisdom of Solomon in regards to the unborn.
We ask You
to visit our Supreme Court Justices in a way that touches their hearts
and moves them to action. Speak through dreams, through their
grandchildren, through their natural conscience, or through a word
spoken from a stranger. Interrupt their day with Your truth that every life has value, even the unborn life.
We also ask that You give great wisdom and discernment to the President. By Your power, move him to appoint pro-life judges at every level of the federal court system, in order that the pool of nominees will be full of godly men who understand that they answer to You.
We ask that you would guide them and bless them for their years of service.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen
