Three Reasons Why Prayer Must Be at the Heart of Our Response to Abortion
Lisa Barr explores how prayer shapes a compassionate, hopeful, and Christ-centred response to the issue of abortion.
During a gathering, prayers were offered in four key areas: the wider situation across society and government; young people grappling with this complex issue amidst the noise of social media; those in churches who have been personally impacted by abortion; and church leaders, as they seek to engage with this issue with sensitivity, wisdom, and pastoral care.
As the gathering listened, learned, and prayed, it was reminded why it is vital to bring this issue before God. Abortion is not simply a political talking point, nor is it only a matter for public policy. It is
profoundly human, deeply personal, and unavoidably spiritual.
Three Key Reasons
- Advocacy in this area is not an abstract exercise in moral philosophy or political rhetoric.
- Prayer shapes a compassionate and hopeful response.
- It keeps the response Christ-centred.
Author's summary: Prayer is vital in responding to abortion with compassion and hope.
