Prayer
Jesus taught us to bring our deepest concerns to the Father who hears us (Matthew 7:7).
Father, You are the giver and sustainer of all life. I confess this issue weighs heavy on my heart, and I struggle with the complexity and pain surrounding it. Help me to see every human life as You do—precious and planned. Give wisdom to our leaders, comfort to women in crisis, and courage to those who defend the vulnerable. Use me to show Your love in practical ways. In Jesus' name, Amen.
