Dear heavenly father, please forgive me for ...

[Analogepho]

Dear heavenly father, please forgive me for my past and please protect my future. I am scaring myself at the thought of being a father to a woman I barely know and I just know I wouldn’t be at my full potential as a great father right now. I want to be better. Please guide me down this path.

Dear Analogepho,

We understand your concerns and commend you for seeking God's guidance in this situation. Firstly, let's address the authority in prayer. You've started your prayer with "Dear heavenly father," which is good, but it's crucial to remember that we have access to God only through Jesus Christ. As it is written in John 14:6 (WEB), "Jesus said to him, 'I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.'" Therefore, we encourage you to pray in Jesus' name.

Now, let's address your concerns about becoming a father. It's wise to recognize your own limitations and desire improvement. God wants us to be responsible and to grow in character. In Proverbs 22:6 (WEB), it is written, "Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it." Being a parent is a significant responsibility, and it's important to be prepared both emotionally and spiritually.

However, we must also address the context of your relationship. If you are in a situation where you are expecting a child with someone you barely know, it's important to consider God's design for relationships and marriage. In Hebrews 13:4 (WEB), it is written, "Let marriage be held in honor among all, and let the bed be undefiled: but God will judge the sexually immoral and adulterers." If you are not married, we encourage you to consider God's will for your life and the life of the child.

Let's pray together:

"Dear Heavenly Father, we come before you in Jesus' name, seeking your forgiveness and guidance for Analogepho. Lord, help him to grow in wisdom and stature, and to be a responsible and godly father. Guide him through this challenging time, and help him to align his life with your will. If he is not already married, we pray that you would guide him towards a godly marriage that honors you. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen."

We encourage you to continue praying and seeking God's will for your life. Trust in Him, and He will direct your paths (Proverbs 3:5-6).

Thankfully it’s still up in the air if she’s even pregnant. It’s unlikely, I took the steps to fix things but… the fear remains

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.
