For You From The Word
You give life to everything, and the multitudes of heaven worship you. (Nehemiah 9:6)
For You To Think About
Today, 8,189 women in the U.S. will discover that they are pregnant, though they did not plan to be. Some will choose to parent. Some will place their children for adoption. And sadly, some may decide to terminate their pregnancies.
“But I’m so confused. There’s no way I feel joyful or hopeful. I didn’t plan on getting pregnant!” When a woman discovers she faces an unplanned pregnancy, it can be hard for her to give thanks.
You can stand in the praise gap!
No matter what these women choose, there is one indisputable fact: God gave life to each of those 8,189 precious babies.
You can join “the multitudes of heaven” and give praise to God on behalf of a pregnant woman who feels she cannot do so right now. You can worship the One who gives life. You can give Him praise for these new persons He has created. You can ask for His perfect will to be manifest in a mother and her baby – whether you know her or not.
For You To Pray
Heavenly Father,
I’m willing to stand in the praise gap on behalf of these women. I praise You for Your mighty power as the One who has given their babies life.
In Jesus’ name, Amen.
