THE VISION
We are calling all High School and Junior High students to fast lunch on Fridays and pray to end abortion. Here’s what you do:
- Skip lunch on Friday. Use that small time frame to get together with your Shadrach-Meshach buddies , and pray. It doesn’t take a large group. Jesus promised to be wherever two or three are gathered in His name (Mt 18:20), so gather in the hallway, foyer or lawn. It’s easy, and the time will go quickly. Focus your prayers on the ending of abortion in the nation, sexual purity for your school, friends you know that have had abortions or are at high risk. Pray in faith and believe that God can intervene in each situation with redeeming love. Do it every Friday consistently. Your fasting will intensify your prayer life and draw you closer to God’s heart on the issue. Besides, you can survive one afternoon without salisbury steak and cream corn .
Students used to pray daily in public schools all over the nation. A simple 22-word prayer was recited, “Almighty God, we acknowledge our dependence upon Thee, and we beg Thy blessings upon us, our parents, our teachers and our country.†In 1962, the pivotal United States Supreme Court case Engel v Vitale removed that prayer from school and with it the covering that it brought. The 22-word Bound4LIFE band prayer was written specifically to replace the one taken out of schools. Since 2004, tens of thousands of people have cried out to God in unison with this prayer.
“Jesus, I plead your blood over my sins and the sins of my nation. God, end abortion and send revival to America.†It has become a powerful point of unity for those wanting to see the holocaust of abortion end and revival come to our nation.
Let’s take the next step and actually put this prayer back in YOUR SCHOOL !We’re not looking for it to be sanctioned by the government, but you can be the one to bring it in. So get a life band for you and your friends and finish your prayer time every Friday by praying the band prayer together out loud.
