This, from the 40 Day for Life Blog:
Today, of course, is Saturday — the busiest day for abortions at many of the facilities where 40 Days for Life vigils are being conducted. If that’s the case in your city, and you have an opportunity to join the prayer vigil, please do so.
Your prayers are needed — urgently!
We’re all human and we want to know if our prayers are being heard. I’d like to tell you a couple of stories that I hope will offer you proof that our merciful God is listening to every word.
It had been a long day for Eileen at the 40 Days for Life vigil in Beaumont, Texas. As she was about ready to go home, she looked up over the roof of the abortion center and noticed a rainbow beginning to form. “There was no rain anywhere,” she said.
Eileen and the other volunteers had been praying for the conversion of the abortion facility staff. “As we stood there in awe looking and beholding a sign from God that He would protect us,” she said, “another rainbow formed on top of that one.”
The rainbows remained for about five minutes, “and the color seemed to get darker instead of lighter.”
Here’s a photo of the rainbows:
40 Days for Life participants in Chandler, Arizona received a sign as well.
One of the local coordinators has a van with a “pray to end abortion” sign on the side. The owner watched from a distance as a woman drove up to the van, got out, scribbled a note, and stuck it on the windshield.
They wondered if the sign on the van had prompted a “nastygram,” but that was not the case at all. The message simply said, “Thank You! Never grow weary! May God be glorified in the excellence of your work.”
“That message was not just for us,” said Anita in Chandler. “That message is for everyone who is out there praying right now. It’s for every person who has taken the time to stand in the rain, the snow, the heat or on a very beautiful day, simply to peacefully pray for an end to abortion.”
