40 Days of Prayer

Prayer is and always has been the foundation of Assure’s ministry. In fact, it was during 40 days of prayer years ago that God led Assure to adopt our transformational patient process, an approach that continues to change lives and futures every day.

From February 18 (Ash Wednesday) through March 29 (Palm Sunday), 2026, we will unite in daily prayer for the women and babies we serve, for God’s wisdom and guidance as we prepare to launch exciting new initiatives, and that He will make a way in the wilderness and shine His light into the darkness of the culture of death surrounding abortion.

To kick off 2026, Assure’s 40th Anniversary, we are inviting our friends and partners to join us again in 40 days of focused prayer. Sign up below to join with us in praying for women facing unplanned or unsupported pregnancies.
