Pray and ACT Prayer Targets: Raise Up Christians, Hold Back Satan, And Keep The Ungodly Out of Office
I have been covering the various election-oriented prayer efforts that are currently being carried out by Religious Right groups, including Pray and ACT which consists of not only 40 days of prayer, but also 40 days of fasting.
And to make this grueling process somewhat easier, Pray and ACT and the Southern Baptist Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission have produced a day-by-day prayer guide [PDF] for participants. For instance, on October 17 they are to pray for the “Sanctity of Human Life”:
Ask God to…
• Convict public officials to protect and serve every member of our society including the most marginalized, voiceless, and vulnerable
• Raise up leaders to end our nation’s culture of death and recognize the equal value of all people
• Give our nation the compassion it needs to assist women struggling with problem pregnancies
• Raise up leaders to protect the weak and the vulnerable from violent attack with no favoritism, partiality, or discrimination
• Help our world leaders develop a consistent ethic of love and life for all people and all circumstances
• Convict the scientific community to end the barbaric practice of embryo destructive stem-cell research
• Help you put an end to our nation’s abortion-on-demand policies
