40 Days For Life: DAY 13: Couldn't wait to leave

It's Monday...and that means it's time to update the number of babies saved from abortion through your prayers. Today, we know of 93 babies spared from abortion since September 25!

A woman who had accompanied an abortion customer to Planned Parenthood in Wilmington, Delaware approached 40 Days for Life volunteer Elizabeth with the exciting news: "She is not going to do it. She is going to come out!" Minutes later, the young mom exited the abortion facility, looking relieved. "You did the right thing and you will be prayed for," Elizabeth promised while her prayer partner ran over with information on crisis pregnancy resources.

The expectant mother and her companions thanked the 40 Days for Life volunteers before quickly scurrying away. "The three women were in a great hurry to get away from Planned Parenthood," Elizabeth said. "Can you imagine what that must feel like? I would run as fast as I could away from there, too!"

Tacoma, Washington Shortly after noon on Monday, an abortion client left Tacoma's abortion facility and told a sidewalk volunteer that she couldn't go through with it! "They left happy, and we were all rejoicing!" said Anne, who leads the campaign.

Cleveland, Ohio The young couple ignored 40 Days for Life vigil participants who called out to offer help. But just 20 minutes later, they came back out, accepted information on abortion alternatives, and announced that they changed their minds and are choosing life! "They thanked us and left with big smiles," wrote John, the local leader.

A father of the fatherless, a defender of widows, is God in His holy habitation. —Psalm 68:5 Heavenly Father, we thank you for caring about each of us so deeply. Help us to see and know you as our Father in heaven each and every day of our lives. Your loving hand also rests on every child today carried in its mother’s womb. May they be born into this world and come to know fully and personally your endless love. See today's full devotional
