Alveda King Reflects on the Start of 2023: ‘We Need More Than Ever the Powerful Love of God’
By Movieguide® Staff
March 31 marked the last day of the year’s first quarter and Alveda King, pro-life advocate and niece to Martin Luther King Jr., took the opportunity to prayer for the rest of 2023.
In a recent press release, King reflected on the pro-life victories of 2023 so far, and prayed for God to continue to work.
“I am always excited about the first quarter of every new year. Yet annually, while as human beings we begin each year with new hopes and dreams, it is often hard to move ahead with unfinished business yapping at our heels,” she wrote. “In my 2023 ‘multiverse’ I continue to pray for victory, faith over fear, love and forgiveness in every aspect of life; from the womb to the tomb and beyond. Today is March 31, 2023; the last day of the year’s first quarter. So much has happened already.”
“January gave us the first March for Life following the overturning of Roe V Wade. Grateful. We also honored the MLK National Holiday; looking forward to the 50th Jubilee Anniversary of the MLK I HAVE A DREAM speech,” she said.
King recognized the hardships of the year, but thanked God for the Gospel and revival around the country.
“February was a time of mixed blessings. Although there have been victories, for many of us, loved ones have passed away in the aftermath of Covid and senseless acts resulting from fear and violence. Yet, all is not lost,” she said. “February also ushered in a new revival of the Gospel of Jesus Christ in America. Led by youth and young people of all ethnicities, prayer and repentance began to sweep the nation. The truth of Acts 16:26, that there is one blood/one human race has come alive in this sweeping awakening.”
“This post is intentionally a-political and non-political,” King concluded. “Politics can’t solve our problems. What we really need more than ever is the powerful love of God to overtake us in these troubled times. In the meantime, until next time – stay safe and keep looking up.”
