How precious is Your steadfast love, O God! The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of Your wings. –Psalm 36:7

Put Your hope in the Lord, for with the Lord is unfailing love and with Him is full redemption. –Psalm 130:7

God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. In this way, love is made complete among us so that we will have confidence on the day of judgement, because in this world we are like him. There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear… We love because He first loved us. –1 John 4:16-19

PRAISE AND THANKSGIVING
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; His mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness. “The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in Him.” –Lamentations 3:22-24

CONFESSION
You have heard that it was said, “You shall love your neighbor and hate your enemy.” But I say to you, “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, so that you may be sons of your Father who is in heaven. For He makes His sun rise on the evil and on the good, and sends rain on the just and on the unjust. For if you love those who love you, what reward do you have?” –Matthew 5:43-46

SUPPLICATION
Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hope all things, endures all things. –1 Corinthians 13:4-7

Loving Father, grant us the grace to love as You love; to love the unlovable and even to love our enemies, by the power of Your Holy Spirit. We believe and hope all things because of the working of Your love in our hearts. Today we pray for all women who are pregnant, and for their babies in the womb. We thank You for the gift of life and ask You to give each expectant mother abounding love for the new life inside her. We pray especially for women who are alone, frightened, or discouraged, who may be contemplating abortion. Lord, please bring people around them to love and encourage them today.

We pray for a powerful awakening of love for the unborn in our land. We ask this in Your Name and pray as You taught us: Our Father…
