Prayers & Action

Below is our Prayers & Action Guide which includes four brief prayer suggestions for each month of the year. The prayers have been written to be timely, focusing on holidays and key pro-life issues during the year.  Please consider using these in your Sunday church bulletin each week. A format like this could be followed.

A Wisconsin Right to Life Prayer Suggestion: Our Prayers & Action guide Reflects on the beautiful miracle of life. Thank and praise God for it, and ask His help in our efforts to draw all the people of Wisconsin to treasure and protect it.

The generation known as “Generation X,” (those born between 1964 and 1984) was hit especially hard by the Roe v. Wade decision. Nearly one-third of this entire generation was lost to abortion. Pray for the survivors in this age group, that they not repeat the mistakes of their parents’ generation. Pray through Psalm 102:12-22

Among us are middle, high school and college age students who are thirsty for knowledge. But they are also in need of learning about the sanctity of human life. Pray that more and more students will see our advertising for the life-affirming website www.teenbreaks.com. Pray through John 4:14

Pray for godly wisdom for Wisconsin doctors advising on end-of-life issues. Pray through Proverbs 11:2

Some churches in Wisconsin designate October as Respect Life Month. You could do something very special for the cause of life in your church by starting a spiritual adoption program.

Leaves are turning or have fallen and autumn is upon us. People turn to yard work in November in preparation for winter. You can “love your neighbor” in a tangible way by raking leaves for an older person and help them prepare their home and garden for the cold months.

The moments spent in loving service such as this kindle a sweeter, warmer understanding of the value and beauty of life. Share your love!

Another way to be pro-active in building a culture of life in Wisconsin is by making a point to get to the polls and vote. You can find out who the right-to-life candidates are.

Prayers

Those with little regard for the sanctity of life want to make euthanasia lawful in our state. Pray they do not succeed. Even when life is hard, life still has value – ask the Old Testament figure Job. Pray for those in hospitals and in hospice care. Pray for their care-givers as well. Pray through Job 42:1-2

As Christmas approaches, our thoughts naturally turn to gift-giving. Let us pray this week that the best gift – the gift of life – will come to more and more in our state! Pray that those who favor abortion have a change of heart. Pray through Luke 1:40-42

In December you can adopt a family in need of Christmas gifts and make it very special by also donating a Christmas ornament, creche or statue so that the family you are helping remembers why we celebrate Christmas.

You can be a right-to-life blessing to others!
