Rescue those who are being led away to death! Indeed, hold back those who are staggering to the slaughter!

Proverbs 24:11 World English Bible

Reflection

Vulnerable individuals and young people facing emotional distress or severe mental anguish need compassionate care, hope, and meaningful support. Decision makers hold a solemn responsibility when evaluating policies surrounding medical assistance in dying. Ask God to give parliamentary leaders wisdom to prioritize comprehensive psychiatric services, strengthen community supports, and uphold the inherent value of every human life. Pray that deep compassion guides legislative decisions, offering genuine help to those in despair.

Prayer

Pray that the Lord would stir the hearts of our leaders to resist expanding MAiD and instead champion mental health care, support for minors, and the sanctity of life.
