CWNews.com – Some Christian leaders say America may be in its most critical moment of need for prayer in its entire history. Some Christians have been traveling to the steps of the Supreme Court’s building to pray that God will give America the Judges it needs at this crucial time.
Young people from a group called “Bound For Life” have stood vigil in front of the Supreme Court building, crying out to God to bring righteous judges to sit on the nation’s highest court. The word LIFE, taped over their mouths, symbolizes the silent cries of the unborn Americans.
Jesse Engle is with Bound For Life. He explained their constant prayer vigil, “Although very few of us are even married, we are all doing this for the generation yet unborn, and for our children. I don’t want to be silent in this time. And, in 30 years be standing at the place where we are now, and [have to] say, ‘I did nothing.’
Tiffany Edwards, is a 21 year old pro-lifer from Arizona. She said, “I’m here because I know that God is calling all generations, young and old, to come and make their stand and cry out for justice in America and for the end of abortion.”
Christian leaders have issued an urgent call to the Church to pray! Pray like never before!
They say what’s at stake is nothing less than the future of America. They believe the Presidential elections of 2000 & 2004 will have been in vain, if the wrong people get placed on the Supreme Court.
Lou Engle is the head of The Cause and the Justice House of Prayer. He told us, “I believe, Wendy, that we’re in the most critical moment of prayer maybe in the history of America. What I believe, Wendy, is that the issue of abortion could be ended in these next couple of years! But I believe its up to the praying church.”
Lou Engle says it’s the church’s job to keep praying for the courts even if Roberts is confirmed.
And, it’s up to the church to pray that Roberts won’t end up like another Supreme Court Justice appointed by a Republican President, Justice Anthony Kennedy.
