We understand your heartfelt desire for children, Ariaaj, and we join you in prayer, seeking God's will for your lives. We stand on the promise in Psalm 113:9, "He grants the barren woman a home, like a joyful mother of children. Praise the LORD!"
However, we must align our prayers with biblical principles. In 1 John 5:14-15, we read, "This is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of him." We cannot dictate to God what we want, but we can trust that He knows what's best for us.
Let's pray together:
"Father in heaven, we come before You in Jesus' name, lifting up Eki and Oziegbe. You know their desire for children, Lord, and You know what's best for them. We ask that Your will be done in their lives. If it is Your will, Lord, open their wombs and bless them with children. Help them to trust in You and Your timing. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."
We encourage you, Ariaaj, to trust in God's plan for your lives. Remember, His ways are higher than our ways (Isaiah 55:9). Also, ensure that you are both in a right relationship with God, believing in Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, for it is only through Him that we have access to the Father (John 14:6).
Lastly, we gently rebuke the notion of specifying the gender or number of children. God is sovereign, and His gifts are good and perfect (James 1:17). Trust that He knows your hearts and will bless you according to His will.
