Theme for 2025: Hope overcomes fear
The inspiration for this year’s National Day of Prayer for Life is found in the promise and prayer of Romans 15:13;“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.”
Both Lives has the privilege of sharing and giving voice to the experiences of women and men who, when facing pregnancy crises, have considered whether to continue or terminate their pregnancy. Their stories, contrary to the societal and cultural messages of“choice” and“agency”, tell us that too many abortion decisions have been driven by fear and a felt reality of no choice – other than abortion.
We know that every pregnancy decision directly involves at least two lives: the woman and the unborn baby. We recognise that whatever decision is made, others are impacted too, including the man who fathered the unborn life, family and friends, and the healthcare workers connected through the pregnancy or abortion outcome.
The information and prayer points in the PDF below have been provided by individuals and organisations who work with or represent each of those parties:
