Dear Father in Heaven,

I thank you today for Abraham Lincoln, born on February 12^th.  I praise you for this humble pioneer who was defeated over and over again but continued to persevere.  I thank you for His faithfulness to stand against the horrors of slavery in America.  God, please give us the courage to stand against the injustices of our day:  human trafficking,  the blood of 50,000 million aborted babies crying out from the land in our Nation,  and abortion clinics being built in primarily minority neighborhoods. God strengthen us to stand against unrighteous laws that try to silence the gospel.  We lift up the authority of Jesus Christ over each of these issues.  Heal women in our midst who have had abortions.  Help us to be a voice of hope to unwed mothers. Give us your heart for the oppressed.  Open our eyes to see what is happening in our own neighborhoods.  Get us off of our holy hills and into the battle with you, Lord of Hosts, Lord of Armies. God, we arise with you to rule the nations as you extend your scepter of justice in the earth.  We choose to be found standing with you in truth!  I love you.  In Jesus Name, Amen
