“The Supreme Court is the judicial institution that shattered American history with the 1973 Roe v. Wade and Doe v. Bolton decisions legalizing abortion on-demand through all nine months of pregnancy. It is long past time to restore justice to the most vulnerable among us, and a pro-life majority on the Supreme Court is crucial to that calling.
We invite all Americans to join us in daily prayer for President Trump to nominate a judge who will prioritize the preborn child most deserving of a just and prudent majority on the Supreme Court of the United States.” – Brian Fisher, President of Human Coalition
With an empty seat to fill on the Supreme Court bench, it seems our country has been given a second chance to reverse the wrongs of our past. As pro-life individuals, we cannot sit idly by and allow “fate to happen.” We must be active in the persuasion of this nomination; not just in the physical realm, but also in the spiritual.
We must be praying our President nominates someone who is undoubtedly pro-life, who will preserve each human’s unalienable, God-given right to life. Life is hanging in the balance and we must beg the ear of God to forgive our sins as a nation and allow us to repent, and a pro-life Supreme Court nomination is a step in this direction.
Praying for the next Supreme Court nominee to be specifically pro-life has a three-fold purpose:
As Fisher states, neglecting our duty to pray for this nomination would be the rejection of the power of God. How can we ask God to bless our country if we ignore our obligation to pray for our leaders (1 Tim. 2:1-2)?
The fate of future lives may be resting on this nomination, and we have a moral burden to pray God will give us a judge who regards life as precious. Just as Daniel begged God to have mercy on the children of Israel, we should come before God on behalf of our country. Will you join us in lifting your voice to God asking Him to direct President Trump in nominating a pro-life judge?
“Father, we pray that the next Supreme Court justice values human life just as You do.” – Rev. Sean Martin, Human Coalition’s National Church Outreach Director
