One in Three

“Arise, shine; For your light has come! And the glory  of the Lord is risen upon you….Lift up your eyes all around, and see: They all gather together, they come to you; Your sons shall come from afar, and your daughters shall be nursed at your side.  Then you shall see and become radiant, and your heart shall swell with joy.”  Isaiah 60:1, 4-5

Father, we ask for Your glory to rise on the ministry of Deeper Still so that You may be glorified.  Lord, I pray that we would arise and shine and lift up our eyes.  We thank You that you are bringing Your sons and daughters with abortion wounded hearts from afar into Your loving arms and care to find freedom and healing in You.  May they then also become radiant and their hearts swell with joy.  In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

Statistics reveal that approximately one in three women will have an abortion.  Think of this—when you are praying these prayers along with us for freedom and healing for those with abortion wounded hearts, you are praying for every third person you will see today.

 

This statistic also includes men.  For every woman with an abortion wounded heart, there is also a man attached with a wound of his own.   This statistic is staggering when considering the gravity of one in three people being held captive by the sin of abortion.  One in three people feeling enslaved, bound up, and unable to fulfill the call of God on their lives due to wrestling with lies of unworthiness, shame and guilt.  One in three robbed of their full potential in Christ, not because of what they did, but because of misguided thoughts of forfeited destiny.  God needs His sons and daughters free.  He needs them to step out on the water in faith, to run to Him with open arms, and do the work He has called them to do. 

God is waiting for His children to be healthy, healed, and whole.  He needs them.  The world needs them.   Oh, there is so much at stake here.  Thank you for praying for the one in three today.  Your prayers are impacting the world. 

As mentioned above, for every woman with an abortion wounded hearts, there is a man with an abortion wounded heart as well.  There is a retreat coming up at the end of April, the 25th-27th in the Knoxville, TN area.  If you know of any men who need healing from a past abortion, there are still spots for men.  Please go to www.godeeperstill.org for more information.  Don't hesitate or delay!  It is only about 1 week away!
