For Grace and Peace for Mothers Troubled by Abortion

Lord of Life,
The privilege of pregnancy and the elation of embracing the child you just gave birth to are special experiences unique to mothers. Sadly, Lord, for reasons that range from deep trauma to mere inconvenience, many mothers have ended their child’s life by choosing to have an abortion. While we mourn the loss of the unborn, we pray also for mothers who have made this burdensome decision. Where mothers have hardly given the slightest thought to the life they ended, nor shown any remorse for their actions, work godly repentance in them that ultimately elevates their regard for your gift of life and eventually brings them to you. For all mothers who have had an abortion and are still carrying guilt, shame, and regret because of it, overwhelm them with your gracious gift of forgiveness and tender love for them. Protect them from the judgment and condemnation of others. Grant them complete healing and wholeness in you, and let them find welcome and support in the arms of the church. 

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

For Pregnant Mothers

Loving Father,
Thank you for the gift of children and the mothers who bear them. Be with all expecting mothers during their pregnancies. Guard and keep both mother and child until delivery. Oversee the healthy development of the little ones you knit and form in the womb. Establish a strong and loving bond between mother and child while she carries to term. Guide the delivery, assuring a smooth and safe birth, and keep your protective watch over newborns as they await the blessed joy of being adopted into your family through baptism.

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.

To Protect the Unborn

Loving Father,
The subject of abortion serves as a tragic reminder that this dying world is a far cry from the deathless creation you first brought into existence by the breath of your life. No matter the rationale behind it, anytime an abortion takes place, a child never receives the opportunity to take that first breath, and because of that, we grieve. We plead for your protection on behalf of babies in the womb who are unable to defend themselves. Surround those considering abortion with caring and compassionate counsel from others who want what is best for mother and child according to your Word. Lead expecting mothers to treasure your gift of life and grant them the fortitude to make sacrifices for the benefit of their unborn child. Compel fathers to be present and responsible, and use them to speak as a voice in favor of life. Spare those in the womb, Lord, and thwart the plans of all who promote the option of putting the unborn to death.  

In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
