Alan Parker has watched many women find healing from the effects of abortion.

So many of the women who've gone through the abortion recovery programs

become freed, they're out of the darkness, they don't have the shame,

keeping it locked up, hidden from everybody, afraid somebody may find out,

and that doesn't mean you go around telling everybody all the time.

But it means you don't have any shame. And if it's appropriate to share it with somebody,

then you can minister with the comfort that God has given you to those who need the comfort of Jesus Christ.

This is Revive Our Hearts with Nancy Lee DeMoss for Tuesday, January 20th. Thanks for joining us on Revive Our Hearts.

As you know, today our nation marks the inauguration of a new president.

Two passages have been on my heart, one in 1 Peter chapter 2,

where we're told, honor everyone, love the brotherhood, fear God, and honor the king.

So we are to respect and honor those that God has placed in positions of authority over us, certainly including the president of this country.

And then Paul's words to Timothy in 1 Timothy chapter 2, where he says, I urge that supplications,

prayers, intercessions, and thanksgivings be made for all people,

for kings and for all who are in high positions, that we may lead a peaceful and quiet life,

godly and dignified in every way. And those are important reminders at this important juncture

in our nation's history. And I want to encourage

you to please be praying for our new president that God will give him great wisdom at this time

when our nation is facing so many difficult and important challenges. Now, this week has historical

significance for another reason as well. We mark the fateful court decision, Roe v. Wade,

that was made on January 22, 1973. Yesterday, we heard about the companion case to Roe. It was called

Doe v. Bolton, and we heard from the Doe in that case. Her real name is Sandra Cano.
