Capital Prayer Alert


Saturday, May 14, 2022

From Carol Bauer

Please ask our Heavenly Father to protect the lives of the justices and their families, and to keep their homes and neighborhoods safe from these angry crowds. Give Your peace that passeth all understanding to the spouses and families of the justices who could not have imagined themselves in this situation simply because their loved one is performing their constitutional duties. 
 
Dear Lord, we ask that You work Your will in the hearts of angry protestors so they would pause and educate themselves with the facts, and then make their views known in a more civil fashion. 
 
God, we ask you to prompt those in the executive and legislative branches of government to provide protection for the judiciary, and to be more measured in their choice of words.  
 
Lord, prompt members of the news media to be more precise and accurate in their descriptions of the potential legal ramifications and changes that may occur. In many cases they are setting the parameters for the public debate, but doing so in ways that inflame rather than illuminate. 
 
May those in the pro-life community present their views with grace, love, accuracy and a dedication to continue to help women facing an unplanned pregnancy just as Jesus would do.
 
Finally, Heavenly Father, prompt all of us to recognize what a truly momentous time this in our nation's history. May it be a turning point away from selfish desires and callous attitudes toward a renewed respect for the sanctity of life and the value, dignity and worth of each and every life. 
May we humble ourselves. May we seek Your face. May we turn from our wicked ways. And, Lord, please heal our land.
