God cares for the unborn! What a win today was June 24, 2022.
One month ago we were (and still are!) grieving the horrific murder in Uvalde Texas with the shooting of children & teachers at a public school…
We still grieve and mourn…
Today, let’s take a moment and bless our Lord God Almighty for finally overturning Roe v Wade.
“For he issued his laws to Jacob; he gave his instructions to Israel. He commanded our ancestors to teach them to their children, so the next generation might know them— even the children not yet born— and they in turn will teach their own children. So each generation should set its hope anew on God, not forgetting his glorious miracles and obeying his commands.”
Psalms 78:5-7 NLT
This verse always blessed me. God cares for the unborn.
In fact ALL of us should care for the unborn.
When I was in high school a girlfriend of mine- I’ll call her Suzi … became pregnant.
She seriously considered abortion but then later said “I waited too long” Back then, there was a time restriction and late term abortions were not yet in vogue.
She decided to give her child up for adoption.
I always remember how proud of her I was for choosing life.
She wanted to ensure her baby had the best possible life and chose the parents!
There are many verses that speak about life ….
I’m not sure when or how abortion became so controversial. It’s quite simple life begins at conception…
“The Lord gave me this message: “I knew you before I formed you in your mother’s womb. Before you were born I set you apart and appointed you as my prophet to the nations.””
Jeremiah 1:4-5 NLT
“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my mother’s womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvelous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed. How precious are your thoughts about me, O God. They cannot be numbered!”
Psalms 139:13-17 NLT
Without getting into the political arguments on either side we turn to Jesus- we ask God and look into the Scriptures to find out what the truth of the Word is…
God stands for life!
“Turn us again to yourself, O God. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved. O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies, how long will you be angry with our prayers? You have fed us with sorrow and made us drink tears by the bucketful. You have made us the scorn of neighboring nations. Our enemies treat us as a joke. Turn us again to yourself, O God of Heaven’s Armies. Make your face shine down upon us. Only then will we be saved.”
Psalms 80:3-7 NLT
“We will not hide them from their children, shewing to the generation to come the praises of the Lord, and his strength, and his wonderful works that he hath done.”
Psalm 78:4
“The thief’s purpose is to steal and kill and destroy. My purpose is to give them a rich and satisfying life. “I am the good shepherd. The good shepherd sacrifices his life for the sheep.”
John 10:10-11 NLT
God wants us to pass on the legacy of faith to the next generation…
I remember a few years ago I was at the Huntington library & Gardens in San Marino with my family.
I saw a cute stylishly dressed young lady maybe in her early 20s.
She was walking around the gardens all by herself. I passed by her and I noticed she had a tattoo on her forearm of a hanger.
I asked my daughter Olivia if she knew what that tattoo meant -if it had any meaning- I thought it was the tattoo-symbol of a band or musician.
Olivia said mama that means “abortion rights.”
I almost started crying. It grieved my heart so deeply that a young lady would get a tattoo of a hanger (symbolic of the way some women would use a wire hanger to kill their own baby) and she would put that tattoo on her arm…
I see the pro-choice argument about reproductive rights and women’s health care…
(Although I do not agree- I see the legal theory)
But the bottom line is Roe has gone too far …there should have never been a Roe. If a woman wants to kill her baby I don’t understand how that ever became legal to begin with? Babies were formerly celebrated not destroyed.
God must judge those who intentionally take the lives of the innocent….
Even for those who have had an abortion they struggle with things like-
-Guilt
-Remembering the date/month the child would have been born
-Dreams of the child
-cramping & pain
- blood loss
-unforgiveness
And even in some cases scar tissue and inability to have children…
Last night I attended a women’s event and the speaker discussed how things are going to get worse in our country…
People believe this is a right that was taken from them (even though abortion is no longer a federal right, it is still in our country allowed based upon the state)
May the Lord keep us prayed up ~stirred up ~and ready to share the Truth about babies with people in the world!
John (Jesus’ cousin) lept in the womb of Elizabeth at the sound of Mary’s voice…
Any and all moms know that you fall in love with that baby once you feel that child moving & growing in your womb…
But we are raising a generation of young ladies to hate the baby growing in their wombs…
Lord help us!

prayers for the unborn (from
A Momma’s view):
“God of my praise, when I think of the incredible complexity of this new life forming inside me, I can only bow in worship of my great Creator. I think of the little fingers and toes being created by you. You are creating a new life in your image. I’m excited to see what my baby will look like! I praise you that this baby is fearfully and wonderfully made. Your works are marvelous – this I know very well. Amen.”
Let’s pray -
Lord we pray women would realize the privilege it is to carry a child.
If they feel too young too scared too unworthy or angry about the baby may they please consider adoption Lord Jesus!
We know many people are angry about this decision that the Supreme Court ruled regarding Roe v. Wade.
Lord Jesus help us to love on those who are angry and to show them the Truth from scripture and be a beautiful light and example of a God-loving God-fearing person that walks in the steps of Jesus.
Father please protect those who are continuing to stand up for life. Please do not allow states like California New York and Colorado and Oregon to expand their laws to kill babies - it is horrific God. We do not stand with the law makers who want expansive laws on abortion- we’re asking for more intervention more breakthrough God !
we know you’re not done with America! In Jesus name we humbly ask …amen
