Oh Lord, come quickly…

By inthearena

      This morning I read Psalm 70 and I thought it was such a perfect prayer for ”Jane’s” baby.

                                   Hasten, O God, to save me; 
                                   O LORD, come quickly to help me.

                                 2 May those who seek my life
                                    be put to shame and confusion;
                                    may all who desire my ruin
                                    be turned back in disgrace.

                                3 May those who say to me, “Aha! Aha!”
                                   turn back because of their shame.

                                 4 But may all who seek you
                                    rejoice and be glad in you;
                                    may those who love your salvation always say,
                                   “Let God be exalted!”

                                  5 Yet I am poor and needy; 
                                     come quickly to me, O God. 
                                     You are my help and my deliverer; 
                                    O LORD, do not delay.

      ”Jane” is going to the doctor today for her ultrasound. My friend has had some long conversations with “Jane” and has asked some tough questions. “Jane” is conflicted but is still planning to have the abortion. Yesterday my friend said, “At this point I feel like I’ve said everything I can and I/we need to simply ask God for a miracle, ask Him to change her heart.” 

        Our God is THE God of salvation. May both “Jane” and her baby be saved! I will let you know when I hear about how “Jane” responded to her ultrasound.
