Please Pray!!

PLEASE PRAY!!!!
I am asking for prayer for a friend of mine who knows a girl who is planning on having an abortion this Friday @ 9AM.
This is the email I recieved from my friend
"She found out last week that she's pregnant and she's abording it. She says it's "not the right time" to have a baby. She is just coming around to building a relationship with God and she doesn't fully grasp the entire idea of abortion. Around here, there are few who do. I may very well be the only person in her life that doesn't support abortion. Please pray with me that God will encounter her. There's only so much I can do, but it's what God can do through us that brings revelations, insight, and change. It's a holy spirit encounter that has to be done by HIM. I've been very bothered by this whole thing. She knows my views,and she's concerned that I will look at her differently and judge her, but I want to show her unconditional love. She WILL one day regret this and when she does, I want her to know that God never stopped loving her and never turned His back on her. I want God to have the glory over this situation,not the devil!
The only reasons I can think that she's doing this, is that in her mind it's the best option. In her mind, she wouldn't have the finances to raise this baby and be all the she wants to be, so it wouldn't be fair to bring it into the world and it would be a strain on her marriage. She loves children so much and gets frustrated when parents have children,then don't take care of them. In her mind she's doing what she thinks is best. She needs a true encounter from God, to reveal the truth to her! I know that she is hungry for Him. She has expressed that to me in significant ways. She and her husband are working on their marriage (they have basically done all but renew their vows) and I see her genuinely working so hard on trying to do the right thing. She has expressed to me that she wants her and her husband to hang out with Chris and I more because she likes what she sees in our marriage. I pray that God will continue to bring married couples that know the Lord into their lives and they will just begin to encounter the Lord on a regular basis.

Her abortion appointment is for 9am this Friday,the 21st. Will you please pray with me and agree with me that God will have the glory? And that He would encounter her, so that she may change her mind before it's too late? Pray that He will also give me the words to say when she does open up to me. "

THANK YOU FOR KEEPING THIS IN YOUR PRAYERS!!! I WILL POST SOMETHING AS I HEAR.
