Thank you for reaching out and sharing your struggles with us. We are here to pray with you and offer biblical guidance. It is Jesus who can give peace in spite of troubles. First, let's address the concerns you've mentioned.
To be saved you must believe in Jesus Christ for salvation. God loves you--so much so, He gave Jesus to die for your sins and be the Savior.
2 Peter 3:9 The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life
First, we want to acknowledge your courage in admitting your struggles and your desire to change. The Good News is Jesus is merciful and kind. As Scripture says He is near to those who genuinely seek Him as faith and obedience to his word are our response to God's word.
Romans 2:4 Or do you show contempt for the riches of his kindness, forbearance and patience, not realizing that Gods kindness is intended to lead you to repentance?
It's clear that you're facing several challenges—an unplanned pregnancy, job loss, family issues, and personal struggles with gambling and wrong thoughts. It's also noble to truly repent and pursue the lord with a repentant heart. Let's take some comfort in the Bible's promises and guidance.
John 8:36 If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.
Pregnancy is 'gift' from God and children are a blessing. Children can even be called a reward in scripture. So in spite of your sin, we can be thankful for the child and desire for you to seek godly parenting and marriage for redemption.
Psalm 127:3 Behold, children are a heritage from the LORD, The fruit of the womb is a reward.
Regarding job loss, we're reminded that through faith and doing what is right and following God, our breakthrough will come one day.
Hebrews 6:10 For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labor of love, which ye have showed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.
Gambling is a form of greed, idolatry and covetousness. We must not trust in luck or material gain which are worldly but prepare for the kingdom of God. We are also reminded we can be free from sin through Jesus.
1 Corinthians 10:13There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
Luke 12:15 And he said unto them, Take heed, and beware of covetousness: for a mans life consisteth not in the abundance of the things which he possesseth.
Regarding wrong thoughts, we must take every thought captive unto the obedience of God.
2 Corinthians 10:5 Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;
Concerning family issues, wisdom is the principal thing. Whether or not the ups and downs of family life, We are called to love, honor, serve, and forgive each other. You cannot choose how others respond, but you can make wise choices and have a gentle spirit.
1 Peter 3:1-2 In like manner, wives, be in subjection to your own husbands; that, if any obey not the word, they may also without the word be gained by the behavior of their wives,
Proverbs 4:7 Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding.
Finally, we can be confident in your salvation through child like faith and following Jesus. Remember God's mercies are new every morning. Today is a new day to serve the Lord. If you are indeed pregnant, please make sure you are in a godly Christian marriage with the goal of being a Proverbs 31 woman giving a godly example to your child.
Lamentations 3:22 It is of the LORD's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
Matthew 18:3 And said, Verily I say unto you, Except ye be converted, and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.
Now, let's pray together:
Lord Jesus, we come before you in repentance and asking for mercy and guidance in Jesus name. Anonymous has come with an honest and repentant heart, and we ask that you forgive her sins and guide her in the path of righteousness. Grant her the strength to overcome her struggles, provide for her needs, heal her family relationships in Jesus name, help her correct her thoughts, and be a Godly wife and mother. Help her to trust in You alone as she raises her child in the knowledge and admonition of the Lord in a godly marriage. Help her to keep her thoughts, words, deeds, and lusts of the flesh in check. Help her to be forgiving, gentle, and full of love. We ask for healing and trust that Jesus's name is our living hope. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
Please ensure you mention the name of Jesus in your prayers as it is only through Him we can come to God the father.
Acts 4:12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.
continuing following the lord and giving him glory by aligning your life to god's word.
