Prayer for Life
Loving God, in Your goodness, You have given us the gift of life. I ask Your pardon and forgiveness for my own failure and the failure of all people in this world to protect and respect this gift you have given us. I pray that, with Your grace, I and all people will respect, reverence, and protect all life and that I will be especially sensitive to the life of the unborn, the abused, the neglected, the disabled, and the elderly. Guide all who make decisions about life, that they will do so with wisdom, love, and courage. In Your name - Father, Source of all life, Son, Savior of our lives, and Spirit, Sanctifier of our lives - We pray. Amen
PRAYER FOR THE HELPLESS UNBORN CHILD:
Heavenly Father, in Your love for us, protect against the wickedness of the devil, those helpless little ones to whom You have given the gift of life.
Touch with pity the hearts of those women pregnant in our world today who are not thinking of motherhood.
Help them to see that the child they carry is made in Your image - as well as theirs - made for eternal life.
Dispel their fear and selfishness and give them true womanly hearts to love their babies and give them birth and all the needed care that a mother alone can give.
We ask this through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord, Who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever, Amen.
