Devotion for “Voice for the Voiceless” (Track 2)

Title: Advocating for Life: The Sanctity of the Unborn

Opening Scripture: Psalm 139:13-14 – “For You created my inmost being; You knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise You because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Your works are wonderful, I know that full well.”

Reflection:

“Voice for the Voiceless” calls us to a profound recognition of the value of every life, especially the unborn. The psalmist’s acknowledgment of God’s hand in our creation from the womb is a testament to the sanctity of life at every stage.

Deeper Insight:

Understanding the depth of Psalm 139:13-14 can transform our perspective on the unborn. Each person, from conception, is a unique creation of God, carrying the imprint of His image. As intercessors, we are called to not only recognize this truth but also to stand as advocates for those who cannot speak for themselves.

In Jeremiah 1:5, God says, “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart.” This verse speaks of God’s intimate knowledge and purpose for each life, even before birth. It’s a powerful reminder of the intrinsic value and potential placed within each individual by God.

Application:

As mature intercessors, our role extends beyond personal petitions; we are called to be voices in societal issues where life is undervalued. Advocating for the unborn is a spiritual responsibility, requiring us to speak, pray, and act in alignment with the value God places on every life.

Prayer:

Lord, thank You for the precious gift of life. Help me to see every person, born and unborn, through Your eyes, as a unique and beloved creation. Strengthen me to be a voice for the voiceless, advocating for the sanctity of life at every stage. Guide me in Your wisdom and compassion as I stand in prayer and action for the unborn. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Closing Scripture:

Proverbs 31:8-9 – “Speak up for those who cannot speak for themselves, for the rights of all who are destitute. Speak up and judge fairly; defend the rights of the poor and needy.”

This devotion is crafted to deepen the understanding of the sanctity of life from a biblical perspective, encouraging mature intercessors to be advocates and voices for the unborn, aligning with God’s heart for every life.

Lyrics

Voice for the Voiceless

Verse 1

Whispers of life, yet unheard,
In the secret place, Your creation is stirred.
In Your image, each life You weave,
A masterpiece unseen, in You, we believe.

Chorus

We are a voice for the voiceless,
In Your love, we take our stand.
Every life, a precious gift,
Safely held in Your hand.

Verse 2

For every heart yet to beat,
We stand in the gap, where earth and heaven meet.
Declaring Your truth, in love we speak,
For the innocent and weak, Your justice we seek.

Chorus

We are a voice for the voiceless,
In Your love, we take our stand.
Every life, a precious gift,
Safely held in Your hand.

Bridge

In the shadow of Your wings,
We call forth life, Your promise brings.
Breaking the silence with Your truth,
For every unborn, we rise and move.

Chorus

We are a voice for the voiceless,
In Your love, we take our stand.
Every life, a precious gift,
Safely held in Your hand.

Outro

In Your image, each life You frame,
We honor them, in Jesus’ name.
