Praying for Life
Christians are called to stand for life and seek justice for the most vulnerable among us—and one of the ways we can do that is by praying for life. In prayer, we can unite for the sanctity of life, focusing on:
- the preborn,
- their families, and
- the many individuals involved in tirelessly promoting a culture of life in our world today.
Let us pray with hope, faith, and love, trusting in God’s sovereignty and reflecting his heart for our neighbors.
