    I am doing the only thing I know to do right now. I am sending this prayer to any and all that I know are facing this decision.

    Prayer For Those Contemplating Abortion

    Dear Lord, I pray that although I am scared and uncertain about the future life of this fetus I carry, that I can come to You and seek wisdom and solace. I could really use Your help.

    I know that abortion is societies easy way out of an unplanned or unwelcome pregnancy. I find myself placed in the position of taking the easy way out.

    I know that this decision I have to make will affect me the rest of my life. My eyes are opened but my heart is so closed off against this life that I carry. I prefer to call it just a fetus, but I do know life is a gift from You.

    I don't possibly know how I could love a child or support its needs at this time in my life. My head is swimming with all the reasons why it is not feasible to carry this baby to term.

    I do know right from wrong and that is why this is almost a last ditch effort to come before You in prayer and talk about this subject. I do recall something in the Bible saying that You invite us to come before You and reason together.

    That is why I am here. This decision not only affects me but others. I so much want to think of only myself at this time. I do not want to consider the father, or the grandparents or even the possibility of this potential child's life. Yet I am old enough to know there are consequences for all decisions we make.

    Would it be so wrong, Lord to terminate this life? I know You are strict about, "Thou shall not kill." Is this honestly what I would be doing? When Jesus wept, was He weeping for someone like me? When the Egyptians terminated the pregnant Hebrew women's babies, would I be as detested to You as they were?

    I know there are other options like adoption, but that takes a selfless person to do that and I know I am not up to that.

    I just don't know what to do, but I do know that I must decide quickly what action or course I will take. All I can think of right now while talking to You is that I must do the right thing.

    How will I get through this? Will You help me to decide? Will You send me others that will guide my decision? Is there someone who can actually talk to me about this that I can trust?

    I know I have a soul. I believe that and I believe there is a place designated for me in eternity when I die. What about this fetus? Do they have a soul? Where will it go? Will I have to face it on judgment day and answer for taking its life?

    Please help me, God. I have never needed You more than I do right now. Please help me to decide what is best to do. I am at Your mercy. I will be open to advice from others and I will consider if it is from You or if it is from the devil. Help me to decide soon and to be at peace with my decision. May You not forget that I know You and want to do what You would have me to do. If I choose life, I fully expect support and help from You. If I choose death, will You leave me? Give up on me? Will You still support me?

    I am putting this into Your hands and I absolve, through Jesus Christ, to do what is right. Remember me, Jesus. Amen
