40 Days for Life is rooted in prayer. To help us keep focused on the Lord and in tune with His guidance, we have prepared a series of daily devotionals for each of the 40 days of the campaign.
We fervently believe that prayer and fasting will end abortion, and your prayers are very much needed and appreciated. Please follow the link below to read and meditate upon these brief reflections.

Answer the call to FAST; work in union with God to uproot evil. Bible states “some evils are rooted so deeply it takes, both, Prayer and Fast to uproot them”. Matt 17:19-21 Evil is accepted killing in our society.
FASTING is a voluntary act of deprivation, sacrifice, and commitment to God for his intercession. We plead for Him to shower His Divine Intercession on our request – End Abortion
GOAL of FASTING. To separate ourselves from what keeps us from an active relationship with God. FAST not only from food. Sometimes, our greatest source of separation is from activities and habits. Examples: TV, computer, happy hour, movie, hour of excess sleep, recreational activity. And yes, food; “our” favorite indulgence, or ice cream, Latte, popcorn, candy, restaurants, fast food. Consider using time to Pray at the Prayer Vigil Site on Inwood Drive, or use entertainment money as a donation to the campaign efforts.
Fasting – an act of voluntary sacrifice, and deprivation showing God our sincerity, our passion, our commitment to protect His gifts of Life and Love.
Fast – bringing ourselves closer to God. Fast from cursing, anger, sloth, gossip, criticisms, unrealistic expectations, false pride for these 40 Days. Offer all efforts and sacrifices for the end of abortion.
