30 Days for Life—A Prayer Devotional
A Newly Published Non-Denominational Prayer Guide

By Ernest L. Ohlhoff

Prayer is one of the most powerful tools available to each of us.  The Bible repeatedly refers to prayer as a way to not only praise and worship God, but also to petition God for help and to thank God for His many blessings.

The National Pro-Life Religious Council, which represents a wide variety of different Christian denominations, has recently completed a prayer outline to help pro-life people conduct 30 days of personal prayer, based on a solid Biblical foundation.

30 Days for Life—A Prayer Devotional begins each day’s devotional with a scriptural quote followed by several thought-provoking and inspiring paragraphs, which offer reflections on that day’s scripture. Each day’s devotional is then closed with a brief pro-life prayer.

In all, there are 15 contributors to the book, representing 14 different denominations or organizations with outreach programs to religious groups. Some of the contributors include pro-life clergy who have worked steadfastly for 20 or more years to change their denominations’ position from pro-abortion to pro-life. And through their work and prayer, some of these denominations are beginning to move, ever so slowly, toward a pro-life position.

Through prayer, we honor God, ask for His assistance in our struggle to protect all innocent human life, and thank Him for the help He has already given us. I believe this book will provide everyone with an opportunity to spend a few minutes a day, for 30 consecutive days, to pray and to reflect on various aspects of the pro-life movement. I hope this book will fill your hearts with a sense of peace and purpose that only prayer—personal communication with God—can bring.

30 Days for Life—A Prayer Devotional may be purchased for $3.50 plus $1.00 postage. Please send your order to National Right to Life, 512 Tenth Street, N.W., Washington, DC 20004. You can also call (202) 626-8811.
