HEALTH CARE
There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a person who stirs up conflict in the community.
—Proverbs 6:16-19 (NIV)
The Affordable Care Act, popularly known as Obamacare, has stirred a divisive, heated debate that continues to be fought in the courtrooms of our nation. For Christians, the moral dilemma is huge, as we could be legally forced to partake in a system that financially supports the killing of babies.
With astronomical health care prices, it’s obvious this is not an easy fix. We need government leaders who will implement a just health care plan rather than simply trying to please everyone. We must also pray that a solution will arise that does not force Christians to fund abortion.
- Pray for wisdom for lawmakers to create just legislation for the U.S. population.
- Pray for wisdom and discipline to care for the body God has given you.
DAILY PRAYER
In Jesus’ name, renounce the spirit of abortion that is affecting legislators as they reform our nation’s health care system.
