Kids

Adrienne I truly believe God would not have given you a desire for children if you weren't intended to have them! If your husband spoke of having kids when you got together, you can trust and believe this is the enemy speaking through your husband because he is trying to attack you and bring you down. The enemy can't read our minds - he acts in patterns attacking places that he knows we hurt and in ways that he has seen work in the past. Don't give the devil the satisfaction of your suffering. Trust in God and his promises and take these thoughts captive!

Don't worry Adrienne, God will soften your husband's heart. When my husband and I were having problems one of the things he told me was that he didn't want to have kids with me and it broke my heart, few months later he left, I was devastated and hopeless but then God spoke to me and He said, Iam the one that can change hearts and situations. God is changing my husband's heart in a way I can't explain, the work God is doing on him is unbelievable. I know God will do it for you too, you just have to hand your problems to God. Oh one more thing the same man that told me he didn't want to have kids with me, told me 2 months ago that I will be the mother of his kids, and we are trying to get pregnant now !!!. Don't give up Adrienne !! I'm gonna pray for you.

Lord, you know the number of hairs on our head, you have counted each tear that we have cried. I know that our tomorrow is a memory for you, that you know how it is all going to turn out. That you are already there. Father, touch her heart. Give her peace that your perfect will shall be done in your perfect timing. Lord my first marriage ended because I wasn't ready for children, and my current I can't wrap my head around not being in my stepdaughter's life. Lord, I know you wouldn't put the want of children in her heart and mind, unless your plan has a way to meet that. God, speak to her heart, and her mind. Reassure her that your blessings come at just the right time, in just the right way. Lord, we thank you for the blessings you have already given us, and adore you for those you will give us tomorrow. Lord may we always be ready for the blessings you bestow upon us, each and every day. Amen.

Hello my friends, months later this concern is still a huge one for me. It comes up every few weeks and I don't know how to let it go. I'm still so scared that this man will not give me children, and every time we talk about it, it's a tense subject. He persists in acting manipulative on the subject and I know that I have been holding onto a ball of anger about his dishonesty on it: saying he wanted kids when we were dating, then now saying the exact opposite.

I know in my head I just need to let go and leave this in God's hands. It's not even the time right now while I'm still in school! But it's so hard for me to push past this huge fear of my future and also the anger. I know the enemy wants to use it as a tool against me.

I'd really appreciate your prayers just for peace, for continued forgiveness, and for increased trust in God in this area and every other.

The enemy is definitely trying to get you to hold on to your fear. I understand this cause I can get like that on the subject of kids too. But it's not even time for that anyways, so try not to stress about something it just yet. I know it's easier said than done but when the time is right in sure the Lord will give you a child. Trust me, if the Lord wants you to have a child, you'll have one. My friends mom had 3 different types of protection and still ended up pregnant with her son. He'll make a way in His perfect timing. I hope you find peace with this right now Adrienne.

I read or heard recently a saying, Don't borrow trouble. I want to go home so bad some days I can taste it. This bitterness at the back of my tongue. To the point that I can look out the window and see the house and just crawl into a depression and funk. But, I have learned that only happens, when I CHOOSE to focus on that one aspect, on the one thing I want and don't have now. When I allow God to guide me, to my church community, to helping someone else, to not focus on what is missing but rather what is there, I can feel this lightness and peace, and purpose. I fully believe God will bring my family back together, in his timing.

I also believe, that if he plans for you and G to have children, then you will, regardless of what you or your husband say, or plan. It may not happen the way you plan or see it today, but I promise God's plans are always best.

Father, thank you for the blessings and gifts you have bestowed upon all of us. The things we may sometimes overlook, and glance past. Father as the song says, Open the eyes of my heart, Lord. Open the eyes of my heart. I want to see you. We want to see you, in everything around us. Lord, shield us from the distractions and misdirection of the devil. Father, when he tries to whisper in our ears about the things we are missing, about the future we can't see coming together how we want. Lord, reassure us, that the future you have planned out for us, is more wonderful than anything we could ever think or dream. Give us the peace and reassurance to trust in your Word, and take it as statement of fact and prophecy! Father, we thank you and worship you for the things you have already blessed and granted us. Father, in your son's holy name. Amen.
