For You From The Word
I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them;
I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth.
These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them. (Isaiah 42:16, NIV)
For You To Think About
A prayer based on Isaiah 42:16

Father, You promise to lead the blind by ways that they have not known. Nearly half (45%) of Americans are pro-choice. They are blind to the value of the unborn. Lead them into the truth.
Guidance. You promise to guide them along unfamiliar paths. The truth about life is unfamiliar to them. Nudge them along that path. Urge them to move into unfamiliar territory to seek the truth: that the unborn have a right to live. Fill the blind with courage to examine the facts.
Light. You promise to turn their darkness into light. Shine the light of Your truth into the hearts of the blind. Let them see that life begins at conception. Place images, videos, and resources in front of their eyes. Give them facts they cannot ignore. Use resources to pull their heartstrings towards You.
Clarity. You promise to make the rough places smooth. I see rough, jagged holes in the hearts of the blind. They are hurt. Hearts have become calloused where life is not valued. Touch these hearts, I pray. Remove obstructions to the truth. Clear the rough places. Pour out the truth of Your amazing love for each life – Your love for each of them and Your love for each unborn child.
You promise You will not forsake the blind. You will not leave them to cast about in confusion. Rather, You desire them to see Your truth. Guide them to that truth today. Light their way and give them clarity.
In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.
For You To Pray
Heavenly Father,
You desire for Your people to reflect Your amazing love, even to those who are blind to Your ways. Place me in the path of someone who is blind to the value of the unborn. Use me as an instrument of Your love and truth.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
