CompassCare

UPDATE: Thank you for praying for "Corrie" and her twins. She returned for her 4th appointment and is still undecided. She is extremely nauseated, physically weak, and depressed. “I don’t want to regret my decision,” she sobbed to her nurse, “but I can’t do this!” Corrie wanted to see her ultrasound again and told her nurse that seeing her babies makes her decision harder each time, but that she has an abortion scheduled at Planned Parenthood. Her nurse then asked if she would come back for another appointment beforehand and Corrie said she definitely will. Corrie confessed that she doesn't think God will help her because she is living in "a sinful situation." Her nurse once again shared the reality of God's love and care for her. Pray that Corrie will cry out to God for strength and grace. Pray that He will rescue her from a decision that will damage her and destroy her two little ones.

Praying for the salvation of Tony, that his eyes are opened, that the Lord would bring about situations and circumstances that would lead him to the truth. Pray the Lord to break any chains, stronghold or barriers that bind Tony, and that His kindness lead Tony to full repentance and help him to turn away from his sin. Pray for laborers from a variety of sources cross Tony’s path and that he see God wherever he goes, so much so that he cannot escape Him!

From David Jeremiah (Turning Point Ministries): Today is the National Day of Prayer. As we focus our prayers on those among us who are sick and hurting, our brave frontline healthcare workers in this coronavirus battle, and our nation’s leaders, I ask you to join me in this prayer for America:

In all history, there has been only one nation like America— founded by pilgrims seeking freedom to worship, dedicated to the proposition that we are created equal and endowed by our Creator with certain unalienable rights.

You have delivered us in war, prospered us in peace, and raised up generations willing to offer the last full measure of their devotion for the preservation of liberty at home and abroad. We have been a light for the world.

But now, America has fallen into darkness, disobedience, and indifference. We have sinned; and we, Your people, Lord, humble ourselves, and pray and seek Your face, and turn from our wicked ways. Please forgive our sin and heal our land.

May the torch of liberty continue to burn brightly, inflamed by the goodness of Your people. Amen, and Amen!

From CompassCare: "Marlee" came into CompassCare with her boyfriend. She thinks she may be pregnant and wants confirmation. During her appointment, Marlee confided in her nurse that she is conflicted about what to do. She is about to graduate and is planning on traveling for work. She is scared and doesn’t really want kids of her own, but abortion seems scary to her too. Marlee told the nurse that her boyfriend is really excited to be a dad and would like her to continue. She also said she has been praying a lot about what to do. Marlee is too early to confirm her pregnancy and so she scheduled for a follow-up appointment for next week. Please pray for Marlee as she considers her options. Pray she will be encouraged by the support from her boyfriend and will determine to continue her pregnancy. -------- Coming to America as a refugee, "Moriah" has worked hard to support herself and her family. She is married with two children, and is currently spread thin over work and school. She was not surprised when her pregnancy test came back positive but wants to pursue her career, not have another child. She knows that her family will support her carrying the pregnancy but she wants to keep the news between her and her husband. During her appointment, Moriah saw her healthy seven-week-old baby on the ultrasound. “It’s so sad,” Moriah whispered, though she is still pursuing an abortion. She declined a return appointment as she is set on her decision. Please pray for Moriah and her family. Pray that she will not pursue an abortion. Pray that she will have the courage to sacrifice her desires for a career on behalf of her child, and pray that God will reveal Himself to Moriah and her family. -------- UPDATE: "Corrie" returned to CompassCare for her follow-up appointment. As soon as she sat down, she told the nurse, “I can’t have these babies.” The drama with her ex-boyfriend is causing her a tremendous amount of stress, and she feels that she can’t bring twins into such a toxic situation. Corrie and her nurse discussed how she might make a decision not based on what others think or how they push her, but on what is true and good. This encouraged Corrie, as did connecting with a previous CompassCare patient who had gone on to carry her twins. Although she has made an appointment for an abortion, she agreed to return next week for a third appointment. She also expressed interest in adoption and said she will strongly consider it over the next week. Please continue to pray for Corrie. Pray that God will give her the courage to stand up for the lives of these two babies, and that the discouragement that is continually weighing her down will be replaced with the peace that only He can bring.
