kristen you gave me a chuckle in the midst of all the sadness of abortion. I’m so glad the Lord protected you to make you think the “L” stood for Love…too cute!

Praying in front of the clinic in Eugene, Oregon, I noticed a Hispanic couple drive past and pull in the next drive way. We started to pray and the door opened and the couple walked in from the alley way.
I decided to go around the clinic area, praying. I saw the man standing in the clinic drive way and ask the LORD to give me an open door to talk to him. I greeted him and asked if he spoke Spanish, which he did. I gently asked him about the women inside and he said she was just a friend. I spoke of the value of EACH life and asked him if he would consider going in and telling his friend that we CARE and had resources for her right now. He replied that though he agreed that life beings at conception, it wasn’t his decision. I asked again if he wouldn’t go in and talk to his friend. He replied that the clinic told him he couldn’t be inside. My heart broke that this man who was apparently a father himself ( 2 carseats in his auto) that he couldn’t be the protector of the innocent. I later gave him my name and ph. # in case his friend needed to talk to someone. How my heart grieves for the pain she will experience. Please pray for Isabel

It’s hard to believe that the first time I heard about 40 Days for Life in 2008
I sat on the side lines and prayed from home, never imagining myself-though gregarious as I am-standing out holding a sign and praying in thepublic square – fast forward to 2009 I accepted the invitation of the 2008 coordinator to come to a meeting for 40 Days for Life 2009 fall campaign. That year I was the MC for the opening rally and then the group asked me to lead after we had a very successful Ladies for Life Tea Fundraiser. Now I have led 5 campaigns and I love standing out on the sidewalk praying and holding a sign. I even like being out there alone – with God as my army- and praying and greeting the people walking and driving by. Granted we are not standing outside an abortion “mill”, but a giant hospital that does
abortions for “theraputic” reasons. I have been at Planned Parenthoods through out the country though – you can feel the evil and cut is with a knife
outside many of them – even when they are closed. I pray in solidarity with
all you prayer warriors and sidewalk counselors to hold you up and give you courage stand on the front lines everyday and batter evil face to face. May God bless you abundantly here and in heaven – where a choir of angels and souls of the unborn will be assisting us at our judgement.

Usually I have to resist a rotten mood, low energy or laziness that try to keep me from praying outside Planned Parenthood, but I always am happy I went. And I enjoy the fellowship of fellow pray-ers, fresh air and God’s presence.Thank you, wonderful Memphis prayers warriors who have welcomed this California transplant. By the way, I haven’t always believed pro-life, but am grateful God protected me and changed my mind and heart.

Like others, I have participated in pro-life activities from the sidelines. I read everything that I could, raised money for pregnancy centers, prayed and fasted but didn’t feel comfortable standing in public. Two years ago, I decided that I needed to step out of my comfort zone and be a public witness. I remember my first time driving to the 40dfl vigil. I have a husband and four small children, and quite frankly, I was scared of being shot, but I told myself…if I died praying to end abortion…at least I might have a strong case to get to heaven! I pushed through my hesitation and stood (alone) across from PP. Nearing the end of my shift, a guy drove by, slammed on his brakes and made a “L” sign on his forehead. Because I had said about 9 or 10 rosaries by then, I was pretty mellow. I smiled a huge smile and waved enthusiastically. He looked at me strangely and drove away. It was only on my way home that I realized that that “L” stood for “loser” and not “Love!” Talk about the Holy Spirit protecting you! I have gone several times since.

Oops! I should have said that the young man was in Glendale. The Lord still knew who I was praying for. :>}

The tears that young man in Austin prayed were the Lord’s tears; the pain he felt in his heart was the Lord’s pain. I’m assuming his child’s life was ended. But this young man can have hope–hope for healing in this life, and hope that he will see his child again one day.

Lord, I pray for this young father that so desperately wanted his child to live. Thank you that his heart is in the right place–loving his child the way YOU love that little child. Heal the hurt in his heart. If he hasn’t already done so, may he repent of his sins and receive you as savior; I pray the same for his girlfriend and the other young lady. May all three of these young people find healing in you. Surround them with people who will love and care for them. Give them HOPE and LIFE in you. I pray this in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, who loves each of us SO much!!

Thank you, 40 Days team, for all that you do to save lives and to bring healing. Blessings to all of you. God is GOOD!!
