God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)
Certainly every Christian ought to be praying and working to nullify the abominable abortion law. But as we work and pray, we should have in mind not only this important issue as though it stood alone. Rather, we should be struggling and praying that this whole other total entity “(this godless) worldview” can be rolled back with all its results across all of life.
[Faith] is trust in God's character and obedience to His living voice expressed in His Word. Consequently the object of faith in the Old Testament is the promise of God which awaits its fulfillment in the coming of Christ. Faith looked forward then, just as now it looks backward to its object in Christ. It is interesting to notice how this is expressed in the teaching of Hebrews that “faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see (Heb. 11:1).” In fact this perspective runs through the whole of Hebrews 11-Noah...Abel...Enoch...and Abraham “did not receive the things promised; they only saw them and welcomed them from a distance (vs. 13).” Even the martyrs who were commended for their faith did not receive what had been promised (vs. 39). Faith for them was hearing the testimony of God, trusting His promise, and living in the light of God's faithfulness to it.
Here are the recipes for my menu: (All Courtesie of Frugal Gourmet Cooks

In a 3-quart kettle, saute the onion and the celery in the butter until
limp. Stir in the flour. Remove from the heat. Stir in the milk and chicken
broth using a whisk to mix well. Return to the heat and simmmer, stirring
constantly, until the soup thickens. Add the cheese (please, don't remove
the wonderful rind!) and stir until melted. Run all of this through a food
processor or blender until very smoth. Correct seasoning with salt and
pepper. Serve very hot with chive garnish.
Serves 6
