40 Days For Life: DAY 29: You're the difference

Every abortion appointment is booked out of hopelessness and despair.
Which means your prayer presence on the day of that appointment represents that which is most needed--hope. Every life saved at a 40 Days for Life vigil is the result of someone like YOU daring to trust in God's mercy and love in that crucial moment.
In 40 Days for Life's FREE DAY 41 magazine, we take a deeper look at the most beautiful stories of God's love and mercy in action.
From Iowa to Australia, we go behind the scenes with the local heroes who are saving babies, changing hearts, and ending abortion right where they live.

In recent issues, we've:
  • attended the tearful reunion of a mother, a daughter, and a 90-year-old retired Navy sailor, who saved the little girl from abortion seven years ago
  • gotten the inside scoop on the making of Unplanned with filmmakers Chuck Konzelman and Cary Solomon

  • met the mom and daughter who are leading a 40 Days for Life campaign together--20 years after three different doctors told the mother she needed to abort that same daughter to save her own life

El Puerto de Santa Maria, Spain

The abortion facility in Santa Maria usually performs abortions on Mondays and Fridays. But the local campaign team reported that on one recent abortion day, no lives were lost.
"There are no nurses, no abortionists, no girls...only children playing in the courtyard," wrote the campaign team. "There were no abortions today; it's a miracle!!!"

Wilmington, North Carolina

Teri in Wilmington reported an increase in first-time volunteers praying at her vigil.
"Men standing on the corner...fervently praying for life," she said. "What a sight to see!"
She also praised a group of teenagers for standing vigil. Their presence received mostly positive feedback. But negative reactions from a few passersby "led to a deeper conversation about abortion and what we can do to stop it."

Meridian, Idaho

"What do a Catholic, a Quaker, and a Messianic Jew all have in common?" asked Meridian leader, Emily.
"They were all out on the sidewalk outside of Planned Parenthood praying for an end to abortion together!"
It's no joke.
"The Spirit is moving," Emily said. "We are seeing more new prayer warriors this campaign than ever before!"

Who is a God like You, pardoning iniquity and passing over the transgressions of the remnant of His heritage? He does not retain His anger forever, because He delights in mercy. He will again have compassion on us; and will subdue our iniquities.
Micah 7:18-19
Hear our prayer of repentance, Lord, and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. We praise you for your tender mercies and your compassion that never fails. Lord, it is only by Your grace that we can live lives that are just, and merciful.
May Your Holy Spirit enable us to walk humbly in Your presence and may You be pleased to restore our nation so that a generation not yet born may praise you.
