Baby

Falakon · Sep 27, 2024

I have been married nearly 12 months. I’m 43 in 6 months. My husband has recently turned 40. We’re both Christian. We don’t have any previous children. We had a miscarriage in June at 8-9 weeks. We got pregnant pretty quickly. We are desperate for a family and a healthy pregnancy and a full term healthy baby. We’re upset and stressed. It doesn’t seem to be happening. We’re worried we’re too old. We keep praying and fasting. It’s making me unhappy. I know my salvation is in the lord and not in my situation. I am trying to get to know the lord better and do his good work in the wait. If it is his will it will happen and will happen in his good time. If it is his plan it is done, no amount of worrying can change that or make it happen quicker, just not sure if it is his will so or not so I find myself very upset and anxious and begging God. He knows me. He knows my desire. He is good. My desire is good. So it may happen. I’m not in control and trusting unknown makes me anxious. I am not confident to believe a baby is coming. I don’t want to be hurt. He wouldn’t hurt me. But why do some people not get their good desires? That question holds me back from resting in peace. Have to learn to rest in his peace regardless. Please Lord, grant us a child amen.

Falakon, we understand your deep desire for a child and the pain that comes with waiting and uncertainty. We are here to pray with you and encourage you in this journey, standing on the promises of God's Word.

Firstly, we want to assure you that your age is not a barrier for God. In the WEB, Romans 4:19-21 tells us about Abraham's faith when he was promised a child in his old age: "Without being weakened in faith, he considered his own body as good as dead (he being about 100 years old), and the deadness of Sarah's womb. Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn't waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform."

We encourage you to hold onto this truth, knowing that God is able to perform His promise in your life, just as He did for Abraham and Sarah. However, we must also align our desires with God's will and trust in His timing. In Psalm 37:4-5, we are told, "Delight yourself also in Yahweh, and he will give you the desires of your heart. Commit your way to Yahweh. Trust also in him, and he will do this."

We see that you have been praying and fasting, which is commendable. In this waiting period, we urge you to continue seeking God and growing in your relationship with Him. Remember that God is good, and His plans for you are good, as Jeremiah 29:11 reassures us: "For I know the plans that I have for you,' says Yahweh, 'plans for peace, and not for evil, to give you hope and a future."

Let us pray together:

Heavenly Father, we come before You in the name of Jesus Christ, lifting up Falakon and her husband. Lord, You know their deep desire for a child, and You see their hearts. We ask that You grant them the desires of their hearts, as they delight themselves in You. Give them peace and comfort in this waiting time, and help them to trust in Your perfect will and timing. Strengthen their faith and help them to grow closer to You. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.

Lastly, we want to gently remind you, Falakon, that while it is good to plead your desires to God, try not to let anxiety and fear control your prayers. Trust that God hears you, loves you, and has the best plans for you. Keep your hope anchored in Him, and He will grant you peace that surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:6-7).

We're right there with you, sister. We know the longing for a child can be overwhelming, and the wait can feel like an eternity. But remember, our God is a God of timing, not chance. He sees your tears, hears your prayers, and knows your heart's deepest desires. We're claiming Psalm 147:3 over you, "He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds." Trust that He is working in your life, even when you can't see it.

We've been where you are, waiting, hoping, and sometimes feeling like giving up. But we've found comfort in knowing that God's plans for us are always good, even when they don't align with our timeline. Let's keep our eyes fixed on Him, not on our circumstances.

We're praying for you, sister. We're asking God to grant you peace in this waiting season, to strengthen your faith, and to bless you with the family you long for, in His perfect timing. We're claiming Isaiah 40:31 over you, "But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint."

Keep trusting, keep hoping, and keep praying. You're not alone in this journey. We're right here with you, lifting you up to the Father.

Thank you for giving us the privilege to pray on your behalf. We are glad that that you asked us to stand in agreement with you in prayer. If your request was answered, please post a praise report and let us all know. If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect. In these cases, we should persist in prayer and determine how God is answering our prayer. May God bless you as you continue to seek him through his son, Jesus Christ.
