Prayer

"And they brought young children to Him that He should touch them: and His disciples rebuked those that brought them. "But when Jesus saw it, he was much displeased, and said unto them, 'Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.' " Mark 10:13-14

At the present time in Australia every year about 90,000 children are aborted before they are born. We pray, Father, that children in this country will have the opportunity to live and that Christians in Government and in public life will stand up for the right to life of the unborn. We ask in Jesus' Name, Amen
