ADORATION

“Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens. Through the praise of children and infants you have established a stronghold against your enemies, to silence the foe and the avenger. When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them?” – Psalm 8:1-4

Why start with praise and adoration during this prayer vigil? It is the most appropriate way to enter into His presence; acknowledge that his presence is deeply needed in this place. Pray, praising Jesus for who he is.

CONFESSION

“Have mercy on me, O God, according to your unfailing love; according to your great compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash away all my iniquity and cleanse me from my sin.” – Psalm 51:1-2

Pray, acknowledging and confessing the sin of our nation, as well as anything personally you need to confess. Pray a personal prayer of repentance for past failure to oppose abortion and for not aiding pregnant moms.

THANKSGIVING

“Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.” – Romans 8:1

Offer a silent prayer of thanks for forgiveness, as well as for the Lord’s blessings, for the Lord loving us, and for those who are suffering from past abortions.
