Welcome to 40 Days for Life! This fall, thousands of people in 173 cities and 45 states across America will come together to pray, fast, and witness for the end to abortion.
Why 40 Days?
God has used the period of 40 days throughout history to bring about major transformation...
- Noah experienced transformation during 40 days of rain
- Moses was transformed by 40 days on Mount Sinai
- David was transformed by Goliath's 40 day challenge
- Elijah was transformed when God gave him 40 days of strength from one meal
- Nineveh was transformed when God gave the city 40 days to remain faithful
- Jesus was transformed and empowered by 40 days in the desert
- The disciples were transformed after spending 40 days with Jesus following His resurrection
Just think of the transformation God could accomplish if individuals and communities across America unite together this fall for 40 days of prayer, fasting, and vigil.
Prayer to End Abortion
Lord God, I thank you today
for the gift of my life,
And for the lives of all my brothers
and sisters.
I know there is nothing
that destroys more life than abortion,
Yet I rejoice that you have
conquered death
by the Resurrection of Your Son.
I am ready to do my part
in ending abortion.
Today I commit myself Never to be silent,
Never to be passive,
Never to be forgetful of the unborn.
I commit myself to be active
in the pro-life movement,
And never to stop defending life
Until all my brothers and sisters
are protected,
And our nation once again becomes
A nation with liberty and justice
Not just for some, but for all.
Through Christ our Lord.
Amen!
If You will Join with Us...
- Our prayer and fasting will reach the merciful heart of God
- Our community will become aware of the presence of the abortion facility
- For 40 Days, not one woman will enter the facility without a sign of hope
- We may be able to save a life! (Or many lives!)
What You Can Do
- Pray. Pray at church. Pray at an abortion facility. Pray at work. Pray in the car. Pray at home with your family. Pray for the fruitfulness of this campaign. Pray especially at 3:00, the hour Jesus died.
- Fast. Christ said there are demons that can only be driven out by prayer and fasting. A fast is not a Christian diet; it is a powerful means of drawing closer to God by blocking out distractions. Fast from food. Fast from television. Fast from apathy and indifference. Fast from whatever it is that separates you from God.
- Witness. The visible, public centerpiece of 40 Days for Life is a 40-day prayer vigil outside an abortion facility. In Akron, we will hold our vigil from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. Please join us for one hour and invite your church or organization to adopt one of the 40 days.
Location
- At your home
- At your church
- At the abortion facility at 839 E. Market St. Akron, OH (Akron Women's Medical Group) (in union with other cities across America)
