" Well done, my good and faithful servant...." (Matthew 25:23)
Dear 40 Days for Life Prayer Volunteers,
The final day of our prayer campaign has arrived! It has been one with incidents of persecution but also one filled with blessings and prayers answered. God Is Good! We are thankful for His grace to overcome the temptation to say no when asked to sacrifice as well as the grace to stand in witness at a place where we are not welcome. Thank you, Lord, for the laborers and for the fruits of their labors! It was not easy but, to quote 40 Days for Life leader David Bereit, "you did it anyway!"
"But I say to you, love your enemies, and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your heavenly Father, for he makes his sun rise on the bad and the good, and causes rain to fall on the just and the unjust." (Matthew 5: 44-45)
You did a fantastic job! Thank YOU for making this another successful 40 Days for Life!
As we continue with our next phase, our 365 for Life prayer vigil, let us ask Him to watch over and protect us, to guide us as we strive to change hearts, and to give us the grace to do His holy will.
