Day 17 Bonus Prayer: 100 day prayer challenge for President Barack Obama

Abortion, Prayer & Thanksgiving.

Our Father in heaven, we thank You for answered prayers. We have prayed that President Barack Obama would speak to young people about, "the sacredness of human life," and that he would lead public prayers. We are thankful to You because yesterday President Obama took a small step in that direction when at a prayer breakfast he reaffirmed his claim to be Christian and said, "There is no God who condones taking the life of an innocent human being. This much we know."

Dear Lord, we pray that President Obama appreciates fully the wisdom of the words he spoke, and if he doesn't, that he learns to appreciate them. 


Today, Lord, we also pray a special prayer for Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg who is having a cancerous tumor removed from her pancreas. Father, we pray that her surgery will be a success, that you will heal her of her infirmities, and that you will bless the hands that minister to her.


Father, if it be Your will that any of the existing Justices should step down or need to be replaced for any reason, we pray that President Obama does not appoint a Justice to the bench that values a woman's right to choose an abortion over a baby's right to live.
