1 | Lost- backsliding; can't have kids | John 3:16 | GodStudent | 219754 | ||
Thank you for your love. Yes I DO believe in God's word which is partly the reason I kept praying for kids. I prayed, tried to live right, and believed. Satan can get in our ears and heads and trick into thinking the wrong things. I feel this has happened to me but he caught me during a very bad time in my personal life, so I was already weak and vulnerable. You're right I could end up miserable with child. Something tells me God wouldn't do this to me though knowing how much this means to me. He created me, and He created me with a desire to be a mother to either my, or someone elses kids. I believe he put this in me for a reason, but reasons only He knows at this time. I think you're right when I realize God's purpose for my life which I have yet to learn, everything else will fall into place. In the mean time I will make more of an effort to have a good relationship with the Lord. I'll be at peace then I think. May God bless you and have happy holidays!!! | ||||||
2 | Lost- backsliding; can't have kids | John 3:16 | GodStudent | 219753 | ||
Thank you and bless you! So far, our adoption efforts haven't worked out but I haven't given up. I've never cared about physically having kids. I don't even care about their race I just want to have my own family. Doesn't have to be biological. One common theme in the answers so far is my life is the Lord's not mine. I may need to just let this dream go, and consentrate on doing the Lord's work and getting closer to Him. The only thing I disagree with is using this forum for things like this. You mentioned this wasn't an ideal place but if not for this forum, I wouldn't have received your blessing, or the blessings of others. I didn't want to go to my Pastor about this for other reasons, but I still needed help, prayers and uplifting. I come here because I can get that from my brothers and sisters in Christ, without being judged so I feel this forum is a blessing and a God-send. Thank you for being here! | ||||||
3 | Lost- backsliding; can't have kids | John 3:16 | GodStudent | 219752 | ||
Thank you! And may the Lord continue to use you to help others, as you've helped me. We Christians are supposed to gain the desires of our hearts such as children, when we believe and confess, etc. But I do sometimes forget this life isn't about me, but my life IS the Lord's life. Thank you for reminding me to be happy with what I have because if I look, I HAVE been so very blessed. I have to admit I'd rather be a mother that has lost or have problems with her kids, than to have never been anyones mother at all, but I do get your point about that, yes my life could be worse. I will accept my life the way it is, and with God's help, find a way to gain peace about not having kids. Only He can take away the pain I feel almost daily. Maybe if He's not going to grant "that" prayer, He might have mercy on me and take away my heartache over being barren, if I spend even MORE time with Him and getting to know Him. Thank you so much again! I really needed this uplifting. | ||||||
4 | Lost- backsliding; can't have kids | Not Specified | GodStudent | 219733 | ||
I am not new to the Lord, or to this forum but I have been away for a very long time due to backsliding. Since I was 25, I began praying and trying to have babies. Now I'm 41 and still no children and it kills me every-single-month. It's gotten to the point I stopped going to baby showers no matter how close the person is to me, because I can't be there without crying. I can't shop for baby things without crying. I see a pregnant woman and I cry, and I'm starting to not like even being around kids. Yes my husband I have been tested, he's fine but I have a bent tube. But no one ever said I wouldn't be able to conceive, and if God were to just THINK it, I'd be pregnant, I truly believe this. I wish I could just hear from the Lord that it will happen one day because I'm running out of time physically. If He would just TELL me it will happen one day, I could patiently wait but I'm not hearing one way or the other. I desperately want to surrender the things I feel displease Jesus, but it's also my crutch. Today I found out once again I will be no one's mother, and I just broke down at work. I have no sisters or brothers so I'll never be a sibling, or aunt. And now it seems I'll never be a mother. I became clinically depressed, I take medication now to help. I feel I have no purpose what so ever in this miserable life, I truly I wish I wasn't even here anymore. I can't help my family with anything or anyone else for that matter. The only talent God gave me was singing, but things keep getting in the way of that so I'm not even doing that. It's like God doesn't WANT me to be anything more than a tax payer, but I have so much more I wish I could share. For years I tried to live a better life walking with Jesus, hoping and praying the entire time for kids, never happened. I became discouraged and went back to marijuana. Just marijuana nothing else not that makes much difference. I feel it helps take the pain of never getting pregnant away. It helps me not cry all the time when I see pregnant women or babies on tv. I'm asking for prayers, and scriptures that will help me because I know I need to be back in church like I used to be. I used to so love worshiping and praising, but now I feel so painfully abandoned by Jesus, like I'm the one person on this earth that has no purpose for being alive what so ever. I'm the one person God forgot about. Ok, in my mind I know this is not true, but this is how I feel in my heart. God gives kids to people that are trying to NOT get pregnant, my ex-sister in law had her tubes tied and STILL, got pregnant. He gives them to people that prostitute them out, abuse them, don't love them, never wanted them, and kill them. My husband and I have so much love, and would raise our kids to know the Lord, but for reasons only Jesus knows, that is the ONE thing I've asked for, that was never answered. It's not too late but I'm getting older and my body is changing. Yes we've been through fertility treatments, obviously they didn't work, and we went into debt trying. I feel maybe, just maybe God will grant my one wish if I could let go of the things that displease Him, but because I've tried that before and it still didn't happen I'm very discouraged and weak. The lying part of me says "why should you stop? You don't have anything else worthwhile going on may as well make yourself not feel the pain for a while". I KNOW this is a lie but I still can't help myself due to the pain. Please pray and send me scriptures before it's too late. I've cried out to God so many times, including today. I just feel God is not hearing me or listening, and hasn't for a very long time now. Please help! | ||||||
