PRAYER TO PROTECT LIFE



Loving God,
I thank you for the gift you
gave and continue to give
to me and to all of us.

Merciful God,
I ask your pardon and
forgiveness for my own
failure and the failure
of all people to respect
and foster all forms
of life in our universe.

Gracious God,
I pray that with your
grace, I and all people
will reverence, protect,
and promote all life and
that we will be especially
sensitive to the life of
the unborn, the abused,
neglected, disabled, and
the elderly.  I pray, too,
that all who make decisions
about life in any form
will do so with wisdom,
love, and courage.

Living God,
I praise and glorify you as
Father, Source of all life,
as Son, Savior of our lives,
and as Spirit, Sanctifier
of our lives.

Amen.
