This show us how far we have fallen as a nation. This "prayer," which thanks God for abortion, took place in a public forum in Iowa last week, and included two gubernatorial candidates.
Text from the "prayer" includes the following:
“We give thanks, oh Lord, for the doctors, both current and future, who provide quality abortion care.”
“We pray for increased financial support for low-income women to access contraception, abortion and childcare.”
“Today, we pray for women in developing nations, that they may know the power of self-determination. May they have access to employment, education, birth control and abortion.”
“We pray for women who have been made afraid of their own power by their materialistic religion. May they learn to reject fear and live bravely.”
“Today we pray for the families who have chosen. May they know the blessing of choice.”
Beginning with Genesis 1:26-27, the Bible clearly teaches that we are created in the image of God:
"Then God said, 'Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.'
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them."
Psalm 139:13-16 teaches us that, from conception, we are created, molded by God:
"For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well. My substance was not hid from thee, when I was made in secret, and curiously wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Thine eyes did see my substance, yet being unperfect; and in thy book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there was none of them."
This is not a prayer that is even heard by the God of the Bible, even though I am certain that it absolutely fills the god of this world (Satan) with absolute glee.
It is time for the Church to rise up, to hold up the Standard given to us by God HImself. It is time for the Church to confess its sins in enabling this horrific crime to continue, in sending people like this to our government in the first place.
