The Bible exhorts us to pray. 1Thessalonians 5:17 tells us to “Pray without ceasing”. If there was ever a time that the people of God needed the guidance, comfort, hope, and assurance that comes through prayer, surely that time is now. 

Our daily devotion for the month of August will be a series of prayers directly from God’s Word. We trust these prayers will inspire you in your prayer time with the Lord and be an encouragement to you in your daily walk.

John tells us “This is the confidence which we have before Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us” (1 John 5:14). How can we know we are praying according to God’s will? One sure way is by praying His word.

Be gracious to me, O God, according to Your lovingkindness; According to the greatness of Your compassion blot out my transgressions. Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity And cleanse me from my sin. For I know my transgressions, And my sin is ever before me. Against You, You only, I have sinned And done what is evil in Your sight, So that You are justified when You speak And blameless when You judge.

Psalms 51:1-4

Make me know Your ways, O LORD; Teach me Your paths. Lead me in Your truth and teach me, For You are the God of my salvation; For You I wait all the day. Remember, O LORD, Your compassion and Your lovingkindnesses, For they have been from of old. Do not remember the sins of my youth or my transgressions; According to Your lovingkindness remember me, For Your goodness’ sake, O LORD.

(Psalms 25:4-7)

I received the following email from Senator Tom McClusky. Please take a moment to contact your senator and make your voice heard.

Did you see what just happened in the House of Representatives? It needs our urgent attention and immediate action. CONTACT YOUR SENATOR

This week, Democratic members of the House—following the orders of Speaker Pelosi and President Biden—have voted to exclude the popular, bipartisan Hyde Amendment from the annual Appropriations Bill. Tragically, this exclusion of Hyde allows federal taxpayer dollars to directly fund abortions. 

Enacted in 1976, the longstanding Hyde Amendment has served as the backbone for protecting taxpayers from paying for abortions. Complimented by several other pro-life protection laws like the Smith, Weldon, and Dornan Amendments, these laws also safeguard conscience protection rights for healthcare workers and all Americans. More than 60% of Americans support Hyde, which has saved more than 2.4 million lives! The Hyde Amendment has enjoyed decades of bipartisan support, including from then-Senator Joe Biden, and has been signed into law by Democrat and Republican Presidents alike.  

Today, however, Hyde and all other pro-life protection laws have been stripped from the Appropriations Bill. 

Friend, losing the Hyde Amendment and other pro-life protection laws would mean billions more of our taxpayer dollars flooding the abortion industry to pay directly for abortions. As pro-life Americans, we must not be forced to violate our consciences in this way.  

Contact your senator now! 

Thank you for using your voice to defend life.

For life,
