Intercede - NOW!

Every so often, a passage of Scripture hits you in a way that feels painfully relevant. Psalm 139 has been that passage for me lately:
Those words remind us that every human life carries immeasurable worth. God’s involvement in our creation isn’t distant or mechanical; it’s intimate. Personal. Intentional.
And because of that, the loss of any life is tragic. Alex Pretti, Rene Good, Ashli Babbitt, Jeffrey Smith, these are people who should still be here. Their loss is real and plaguing the core of America's conscience. Their lost lives are the result of a culture that has allowed politics, ideology, pride, fear, hate, and declining faculties to overshadow the simple truth that God-breathed human beings are precious.
This isn’t about taking sides or parroting whatever the performative news networks like CNN, FOX, MSNow are selling. In fact, we don’t need them to tell us what’s right or wrong. God already placed that compass inside us.
Paul talks about this in Romans 2:14–15, explaining that even those without the written Law still carry its moral imprint in their hearts. Conscience isn’t a political tool; it’s a divine gift. And when that conscience is functioning the way God intended, it recognizes a basic truth:
Romans 2:14-15 Amplified
When Gentiles, who do not have the Law [since it was given only to Jews], do instinctively the things the Law requires [guided only by their conscience], they are a law to themselves, though they do not have the Law. They show that the essential requirements of the Law are written in their hearts; and their conscience [their sense of right and wrong, their moral choices] bearing witness and their thoughts alternately accusing or perhaps defending them.
The “Law” refers to the first five books of the Bible, Genesis, Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy, which contain God’s commandments given through Moses.
It includes:
The Ten Commandments
Civil laws for Israel
When Jesus or Paul says “the Law,” this is usually what they mean.
Taking a life—especially when there is no immediate threat—is wrong.
Scripture doesn’t mince words about this:
- “Thou shall not kill.” (Exodus 20:13)
- God detests “hands that shed innocent blood.” Proverbs 6:16–17, There are six or sevenkinds of people the LORD doesn't like: Those who are too proud or tell lies or murder.
And Revelation gives voice to those who have suffered unjustly, crying out for God’s justice and restoration.
Revelations 6:10
They shouted, “Master, you are holy and faithful! How long will it be before you judge and punish the people of this earth who killed us?”
But Scripture doesn’t leave us in despair. It calls us to act, not through rage or retaliation, but through intercession. Nehemiah’s prayer is a powerful example of what it looks like to stand in the gap:
Nehemiah 1:10-11
Our Lord, I am praying for your servants—those you rescued by your great strength and mighty power. Please answer my prayer and the prayer of your other servants who gladly honor your name. When I serve the king his wine today, make him pleased with me and let him do what I ask.
That’s where I’m choosing to stand. And I’m asking you to stand with me.
Not in anger.
Not in bitterness.
But in prayerful solidarity.
Let’s ask God to intervene in our nation’s heart.
Let’s pray for leaders, communities, and institutions to value life again.
Let’s intercede for justice, mercy, and protection over the vulnerable.
And let’s do it together, trusting that God hears, God sees, and God acts.
Hallelujah! Sing a New Song to GOD. Sing HIS praise in the assembly of godly people. Psalm 149:1.
