and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting
Father, Prince of Peace.”   Isaiah 9:

after abortion, we try to find some kind of peace in our lives again. We may

becoming immersed in activities so we do not have to think.

Peace
often evades us no matter what we try, as we realize that these methods do not
ease the pain of our abortions.

shame we felt…do you think of Jesus as the source of peace or do you still become
afraid when thinking of him? (be honest!)

the peace of Christ in your life? Do you experience His presence?
