Today the U.S. Supreme Court heard oral arguments in the case of Dobbs v. Jackson Women’s Health. The ruling in this case has the potential to overturn Roe v. Wade, which has resulted in the killing of over 60 million unborn children since it became law in 1973.

Today, The Gospel Coalition (TGC) published an excellent overview of the case, and why Roe must be overturned. You can read it here.

We Need You to Pray for Roe v. Wade to be Overturned

Please join with me in praying for the Supreme Court justices to make a God-pleasing decision in this case.

The list of specific ways to pray for the Dobbs case, as recommended by TGC in the reference post, is below.

1. Pray for the Supreme Court justices: Clarence Thomas, Stephen Breyer, John Roberts, Samuel Alito, Sonia Sotomayor, Elena Kagan, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. Pray that they would have wisdom as they hear the oral arguments, deliberate, and write a decision.

2. Pray for the law clerks who will research the case and assist the justices.

3. Pray that Mississippi’s lawyers would have wisdom, winsomeness, and courage as they argue on behalf of the Gestational Age Act.

4. Pray that the public discourse and media coverage on the case would be accurate and truthful.

5. Pray that women facing unplanned or challenging pregnancies would receive the counsel, resources, encouragement, and support they need to choose life.

6. Pray that men would choose life for their unborn children and take responsibility for them. Pray that men would support their children’s mothers.

7. Pray that pregnancy care centers throughout the nation would have wisdom, compassion, and empathy when interacting with women considering abortion or women who have had an abortion. Pray that these centers would continue to have the means to lend medical, material, and emotional support to these women.

8. Pray that churches and communities would support mothers who choose to parent their children in difficult circumstances. Pray for adoption agencies as they find loving homes for children whose mothers cannot parent them.

9. Pray that abortion would end not only in America but also in every nation around the world.

10. Pray that local, state, and federal lawmakers would stress legislation that protects unborn children and that our nation’s courts would uphold these laws.
