Since September 26, more than 80 cities in 33 states
have joined together for the largest and longest
simultaneous pro-life mobilization in American history:
the groundbreaking 40 Days for Life campaign.
God has moved mightily across our land during this
unified effort:
>> Hundreds of thousands of people have been fervently
praying and fasting for an end to the tragedy of
abortion...
>> Tens of thousands of people have taken to the
streets, forming peaceful 40-day prayer vigils
outside of Planned Parenthood centers and abortion
providers...
>> Reports from around the country document that more
than 300 lives have been saved from abortion -- and
those are just the ones we know about...
>> Many women and men have been spared from making the
tragic decision of abortion that carries a lifetime
of regrets...
>> Numerous people with past abortion experiences have
stepped forward to begin post-abortion healing and
recovery...
>> Communities are reporting from dozens to over 1,000
people getting involved in their local pro-life
efforts -- many for the very first time...
>> ...And after 34 years of legalized abortion-on-
demand, people of faith and conscience are
experiencing a renewed sense of HOPE!
To build on the amazing momentum that is growing across
America -- and to learn how people in every city in our
nation will be able to join in the "grand finale" of
this historic campaign -- you are invited to attend a

40 DAYS FOR LIFE: DAY 31, OCTOBER 26
Daily Devotional by: Carmen Pate
*******************************************************
INTENTION:
Pray that the post-abortive women and men who have
experienced God's healing and restoration will seek
opportunities to serve others with the same compassion
they have been shown through Christ.
SCRIPTURE:
"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, the Father of mercies and God of all comfort,
who comforts us in all our tribulation, that we may be
able to comfort those who are in any trouble with the
comfort with which we ourselves are comforted by God."
-- 2 Corinthians 1:3-4
REFLECTION:
Can you just imagine the impact the church might have
on America if we were to apply the instruction in this
passage to our daily lives? I believe we are seeing a
surge of post-abortive women and men, healed by God's
grace, coming out of the church pews and going into the
service of Jehovah Rophe, our Healer.
Post-abortive women and men are on the front lines of
the 40 Days for Life campaign.
They are volunteering at local pregnancy care centers.
Some are hosting website blogs, while others are
contributing their stories. Some are writing articles
or books. Still others are teaching Post-Abortive Bible
studies or speaking at conferences for healing.
Some are standing in the gap for victims of abortion by
spreading the truth on college campuses and in the
halls of Congress. Some are providing a listening ear
and weeping with a friend who has "been there too".
Pastor and author Bruce Wilkerson inspired me to
service when he said, "Your Father knows your gifts,
your hindrances, and the condition you are in at every
moment. And He also knows something you can't possibly
know -- every single person who is in desperate need of
receiving His touch through you."
I have found from personal experience that when I pray
for God to bring people in my life that need His
healing hand, so I may be used to love and minister to
them, He always answers my prayer!
And I am never surprised that He brings those who are
suffering in ways that I have suffered so I might
empathize and offer the same Hope and healing that I
received in Christ Jesus.
What a mighty God we serve!
PRAYER:
Dear God of all Comfort, We praise You for Your hand of
Providence over our lives that opens doors of
opportunity for us to be healed in our time of
affliction, and then opens doors of opportunity for us
to comfort others.
May we be ever mindful of those who are in desperate
need of receiving Your touch through us, and may we be
obedient to Your calling in reaching out to them with
Your love. Thank you Lord for deeming us worthy for
Your service.
Because of Christ we pray, AMEN.
