ABORTION Prayer for
Forgiveness
Heavenly Father, I ask for Your forgiveness for
aborting my child. I am so truly sorry. I was very ignorant of what I was doing
– yet I take full responsibility for my actions. Lord, I can never express the
depths of sorrow and pain that I feel in my heart. I have done the unthinkable
and I am heartbroken.
Even
though I ask forgiveness, all these good words don’t seem to stop the shameful
pain in my heart. Help me Father, to let
go and be free. Help me to forgive myself and truly believe that You have
forgiven me. I know that your Word tells me that Jesus paid the price on the
Cross for all of my sins – even this sin which seems unforgivable yet can be
completely forgiven and washed in the Blood of Jesus.
I
realize that I cannot “atone” for the abortion. There is nothing I can do to
make up for what I have done: Not 1000 prayers or speaking out publicly, works
of mercy or working in ministry or doing hundreds of things. They are not
required for forgiveness or salvation. There is only one thing that atones for
the sin of abortion (or for any sin): the suffering, death and resurrection of
Jesus Christ. The healing I receive is
through Jesus’ free and generous gift of mercy, not through anything that I can
do, apart from confessing and repenting from my sin.
Therefore,
I now come before You, Father, in the name of Your Son, Jesus and ask for
complete forgiveness and I fully repent for the abortion(s) which I have
committed. I ask that the precious Blood of Jesus would completely wash away
all my wrong doing and my wrong thinking. You said in your Word that even
though my sins are red as scarlet You will wash them white as snow. May You now
cover me, my mind, my body, my past, my present and my future under the
beautiful healing Blood of Jesus. Heavenly Father, may I feel the purity of
your Love, filling me and surrounding me in Your presence. Thank You,
Father.
Each time Satan reminds me of my past, I need only
speak the words “The Blood of Jesus has set me free” This will remind him and
me that I am forgiven and I will refuse to come under any shame, guilt or
condemnation. Holy Spirit give me the power to live each day for Jesus Christ.
Make my life a shining example of God’s love and goodness. Help me to be the
woman that God has called me to be.
I now give my
baby the name of……………….
Lord,
I now believe that You have my baby…..name….. waiting for me in heaven. I now ask that You give
me peace in my heart and a joy in my mind that I will one day be united with my
child, as I continue to live for You. Thank You for your Love, your Forgiveness
and your Grace. In Jesus’ wonderful
name! Amen![1]
