DAY 16 - CARING [Court case countdown #15]


Thanking God that He cares for us. Praying His people will cast all their cares on Him. Interceding for the lost loved one to know His care for them. Petitioning the Lord to show our care for life at the Supreme Court and that He would bless the work of those who help women considering ending the life of their baby.


Focus #1 - Thank God that He is like a Shepherd who cares

  • give thanks and praise that the Almighty God cares for us

  • use the verses below to help you focus on His care and casting yours on Him

  • For I, the LORD your God, hold your right hand; it is I who say to you, “Fear not, I am the one who helps you.” Isaiah 41:13

  • I will instruct you and teach you in the way you should go; I will counsel you with my eye upon you. Psalm 32.8

  • He will tend his flock like a shepherd; he will gather the lambs in his arms; he will carry them in his bosom, and gently lead those that are with young. Isaiah 40:11

  • Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5.6-7

  • As for me, I am poor and needy, but the Lord takes thought for me. You are my help and my deliverer; do not delay, O my God! Psalm 40.17

  • When the righteous cry for help, the LORD hears and delivers them out of all their troubles. The LORD is near to the brokenhearted and saves the crushed in spirit. Psalm 34.17-18

  • Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you. Isaiah 49.15
