Pro-Abortion Motion Defeated!

Praise Report: Just 3 days ago, I posted the prayer request to pray about the Canadian Liberal Pro-Abortion Motion.  Today, we thank God for His intervention while this motion was being voted on for Canada’s G8 summit agenda.  According to 4myCanada.ca‘s email newsletter, the motion was defeated 144 to 138, partially in thanks to everyone’s prayers, fasting and emails they sent to the members of parliament. Praise God!

Canadian Liberal Pro-Abortion Motion

Key Scripture: Amos 5:24 (NIV)

²⁴ But let justice roll on like a river,
       righteousness like a never-failing stream! 

General Prayer Focus: LIFE

Specific Prayer Focus: Canadian Liberal Pro-Abortion Motion

Tidbit of Information: Faytene Kryskow, with 4myCanada.ca and Bound4Life.ca, is calling a 3 day period of fasting and prayer from March 21-23, 2010 in response to the Canadian Liberal party’s expected motion to include the topic of abortion in Canada’s agenda at the G8 summit.  This motion is expected to be brought forward for a vote on Tuesday, March 23rd, at 5:30pm.  While Prime Minister Stephan Harper’s plan has been to bring up the issue of global infant and maternal mortality at the G8, the Liberal leader Michael Ignatieff has been pushing to include providing access to abortion in this platform, claiming botched abortions as an issue that threatens women.  For more information about this motion and how you can both pray and take action, read the recent email newsletter here.

Prayer: Father, today we intercede and stand in the gap on behalf of unborn babies across the world and we pray that Your justice would roll on like a river, Your righteousness like a never-failing stream.  Father, we repent for the great bloodshed that has already occurred in Canada with our complete lack of regulations or laws against abortion.  Jesus, we bleed Your blood over our sins and the sins of our nation and we ask for both Your mercy and Your justice.  Would You spare our nation from Your judgment by sending Your Spirit for a great revival that would cause justice to flow abundantly on behalf of the unborn babies.  Father, we pray that You would cause the political leaders in our country to take a stand for righteousness and truth and justice and that You would cause a great uprising of men and women who are willing to be a strong and relentless voice for life!  Let Canada be known as a nation that seeks to promote life not only in our land, but in the nations of the earth.  We ask that You would fulfill the prophetic promises You have spoken over Canada, that she would be like the tree whose leaves bring healing to the nations.  We ask that Canada would not promote abortion as a solution to the problems of women and children across the earth, but that Canada would promote justice and life-giving aid.  Would You turn the hearts of the leaders of our land toward You and Your ways.  God end abortion and send revival to Canada, in Jesus’ Name. Amen!
