Christian Ladies-Let's Pray for our Babies!!

[Kellen]

Hi everyone!

I'd like to join this thread. I found out a little over a week ago that I'm expecting my #1 in February. This past February I m/c at 6 weeks. This weekend I will be approaching the same timeline as my first. I could really use some prayers and encouragement. I am trying not to live in a spirit of fear because I know that isn't Biblical. Thank you all for your support!

Welcome Kellen,

You are in my prayers. I know the first few weeks are a really difficult time with emotions that range from each end of the spectrum. These are some Bible verses that have helped me endure the more fearful times in my life.

Psalm 56:3 When I am afraid, I put my trust in you.

Romans 15:13 May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.

And finally: Jeremiah 1:5 Before I formed you in the womb I knew you...
The Jeremiah verse always brings tears to my eyes. Anytime I feel a pain or have doubts about my pregnancy I remember, God knows this baby, He knows it's name and absolutely everything about it. He knew this baby even before I got pregnant with it. That's an awesome and powerful thing. Our God truly is an AWESOME God.

There is no reason why anyone should be offended by Christian prayer or scripture in this thread because it was started for and by Christian mothers. I certainly don't want to bar anyone from voicing prayer in their own way for their babies an pregnancy, but if you join this thread, be very aware that the content posted is not going to change to avoid offense of any other religious practice. In the event that someone is offended, you are more than welcome to start your own thread based on the religion you practice.
I pray that non-believers read our prayers and scripture and are touched by the Holy Spirit and are transformed into believers.

I followed this thread over from the Christian Ladies TTC thread. I really enjoyed the daily devotionals and Bible verses on that one. I understand that there are a multitude of religions and various beliefs but I think that since this thread was started as a support for Christian moms-to-be we shouldn't stop posting our Bible verses or prayer requests for each other. If any of the other women disagree with this and want to start a "prayer and support" thread for any religion to post that's great, but I enjoy that this one was started by a Christian woman for Christian women and we all share a common belief in one true God. There are many "denominations" that fall under the Christian heading: Catholic, Baptist, Protestant, Presbyterian, Episcopalian, etc (I'm not going to list them all) but we all have Christianity in common and that's what this thread is about.

That is my new favorite verse. Thanks I needed that today!

Thank you sister. God loves it when we band together and stand up for him! He will bless you for it!

Amen! I sent you a PM...I'm so glad Bree started this group as it's amazing what the power of prayer can do when we band together in a common purpose. God has given us the ability to move mountains.

I have avoided this thread because I am not Christian and I do not want to offend. I decided tonight that I'd like to post because I pray to my gods (I am Pagan).

I hope I don't offend anyone with my post here...
I pray almost every night, so tonight I will do it here.

I'd like to offer a prayer for my fellow BnB ladies, all those who are TTC, have lost or are pregnant. This community has helped me in more ways than one. Through these ladies i have grown and learned so much, I appreciate them and their stories. Without these ladies I am not sure I would have been able to be as strong as I have been.

I would also like to ask that it is good news I get on my scan on the 15th on June. I have had many ups and downs and have been holding on with such faith these last few days that I feel I might break. I know what you choose is the right path for me, I just hope you give me strength to grow through what ever may be.

I pray this little one inside of me grows, that I can properly nourish and care for him or her and continue that same care when he or she is born. There is nothing more important to me than my family and my children, please protect us and guide us through this life with love and care. Protect my little one growing inside me and the two that are still on this earth. Cradle the ones that are gone, until we meet again.

Amen

Hello!!!

Thanks for your post and many congratulations on your pregnancy I truly believe pregnancy is a blessing from God!!


Now to address the prayers and contents of this group-it is exclusively for Christian mums and believers of Christ. We are a group of women who believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and the holy scriptures.We do not turn anyone away who would like prayer in Jesus name,however this is not the right place for prayers to pagan gods or any other gods.I do know there are others threads on BnB where they believe in positive thoughts or are for agnostics or atheists and that might be something which you could look up on here!

We do not however turn away ANYONE who would like Christian prayer,and our sincere prayer is that all ladies here would be blessed.But this will remain a Christian thread xx

Many blessings to you XXxX

 

[Kellen]

I would just like to give everyone here who is sticking up for our beliefs a hearty: "Amen!" Thank you all for the awesomely encouraging words. They made me cry, but in a really, really good way. Thank you all. I am looking forward to becoming even more encouraged and helping to encourage others through this journey.

Hi Ladies,

Sorry I have not been on here to make any posts.It has been a very sad few days-on Wednesday after some cramps in my left side I went to the hospital and I they found that my pregnancy was ectopic.I was admitted for emergency surgery where they took my baby and my left tube

It has been the single most awful painful thing I have had to deal with and words cannot describe the way that my dh and I feel right now.

I am still believing God that in His time,will bless us again but right now we are mourning the loss of our dear baby.

It is my sincere hope and desire that this group will remain active and you all will continue to pray for each other daily,posting scriptures and lifting up the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ-I hope to be back very soon but I know that it will only be in the Lords timing. I will try to post encouragements however you all will know about what you all face as pregnant women and will know how to pray.

Please don't let this thread die down,keep on praying,trusting,hoping in the Lord.

Love to you all ~Bree~

Bree I am so sorry. My heart goes out to you today and I want to cry for you and your husband. Getting to know everyone in TTC was an amazing experience for me and you and Sarah and everyone else have no idea how many times your names appeared in my prayer journal. I don't and won't pretend to understand what the loss of a child feels like, but I watched my mother suffer through it many times. These are the things I want you to know right now.

"And we know that in all things God works for the good of those that love him, who have been called according to his purpose." Romans 8:28

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit" Psalm 34:18

"Yet not a sparrow will fall to the ground without your Father's knowing. And even the hairs of your head are numbered" Matthew 10:29-31

Not even a sparrow...God knows right now everything that is happening in the world that not so much as even a sparrow falling to the ground is too insignificant for Him to care about. Your baby was an angel he couldn't yet let go.

Rejoice in the Lord for He is good, His love endures forever!

And finally, one of my favorite books is The Hiding Place by Corrie Ten Boom. The one quote that never fails to make me realize just how much God cares is when Betsy said, "There is no pit so deep that God's love is not deeper still." When we reach rock bottom and feel as if nothing will ever look up again I think, "This pit I'm in has nothing on the love that my Savior has for me"

We love you Bree, you are an amazing woman and we are all blessed that you started this thread for us, and we promise to keep it alive. We also expect to see you back here soon!

This is so beautiful Lilly-Thank you so much I am so touched-You are amazing!!!I feel so much peace thank you for the scriptures it is so easy to forget when hard times come but thank you for reminding me of His word.

I will not forget your kindness nor the kindness I have been shown by the ladies here xx

 

[Mrs5707]

I think LillyLee said it all, but you are in my prayers.
I can't remember exactly what verse in Jeremiah this is, but it reads:
For I know the plans I have for you, plans to prosper you and not harm you.
I try to live by this verse and it serves as a reminder that my plan may not be God's plan at the moment but He always knows best.

Ladies,

We are keeping this thread alive. I don't have many people in my life through work etc who call themselves Christians, but the one place I have truly found a peace throughout TTC and pregnancy has been through the Christian threads on this forum. I told DH we are going tonight to try and find a book of devotionals for pregnancy that I can post on here each day because we all need the light of the Lord in our lives...and I know I won't be able to come up with enough encouragement and Bible verses every single day to do that!

John 10:10: Jesus said, "The thief comes only to kill, and steal and destroy. I have come that they may have life and have it to the full."

We won't let anything kill, steal or destroy the joy we find in testimony and support through prayer!

[SuperwomanTTC]

Hello ladies! LillyLee - thank you for directing me here! My name is Rozaria, I'm 30 years old, and I'm pregnant with my first child. I'm happy to come and join with my Christian sisters in prayer and fellowship.

1 Samuel 1:27
For this child I prayed; and the LORD hath given me my petition which I asked of him.

Never underestimated the power of prayer! It is never too early(or too late) to begin speaking blessing into your child's life. May the favor of God be with all of you! Be blessed!

 

[prayingforbby]

Bree- I will be praying for you. I know its not easy to experience a loss, but all we can remember is that God has the perfect timing for everything. Continue praying for your child to come, and God will hear your prayers and grant your request at the right time. Just always remember that God loves you, and wants nothing but the best for you.

I have purchased the book Expecting: Praying for Your Child's Development-Body and Soul. It gives a prayer and verse for each week of pregnancy. I have enjoyed it, and recommend it if you are looking for a prayer book for pregnancy.

I am so sorry that you have had to go through this - especially after all the encouragement you have given to so many of us.
Will keep you in my prayers and hope we will see you here again - as soon as you are ready. All in God's time!
Big hugs.
