I know it's selfish, but please pray for me and my husband to have a little one

[God'sdaughter]

My husband and I got married in 2015 (but we didn't have our wedding ceremony until January 2017). We have been trying to conceive (actively) since 2015. Meaning, no protection whatsoever. All my friends who are about the same age (36ish) have already given birth.

Even my single (divorced) friend gave birth last year. I remember her telling me "it's okay that I got pregnant even if I don't have a partner [the guy is her ex-boyfriend but is married to someone else], at least I was able to experience the 'essence' of being a woman." I kept it to myself, but that comment hurt me so bad since my husband and I have already been TTC when she blurted that line. In return, I told her that we will try to conceive after the wedding in January is over. I didn't want to tell her that we are trying since she already said hurtful things.

All my life I know that I really wanted a kid, but God hasn't answered our prayers. I had relationships in the past and I struggled many times to saying 'no' to doing it, because I wanted to chance it and have a kid. That didn't work out either. Even with my husband, we did not wait until we god married. I regret that we didn't, not only because I think God is punishing us for being disobedient, but also because I hate the fact that I know it hurts God.

I still want to have a baby, but I am losing hope. I'm not sure anymore if God will still answer this prayer. I want to blame my past. I wonder if it would have made any difference if I had stayed pure until I married my husband. I am so down!!!

Please pray with and for us. :-(

I know a couple in the same situation.. They finally conceived a few months ago.. Prayer works understanding Gods timing is tough. Don't loose hope..

Will pray.

Prayers that things turn out how they are suppose to. Please try not to have others make you feel like you aren't deserving of being a parent.
Keep that hope on tight.
My best wishes for both!

Nothing selfish about praying to get pregnant. If anything its normal to want a baby!

Children are a Blessing, unless you are Teacher in Public Schools.

Try Adaption, often one has their own child after an Adoption.

Yeah, really tough, but I'm trying my best to hold on to His promises.

It's challenging. Thank you for the prayers!

I agree. Nothing is impossible with God.

My husband and I are public school teachers. It makes it more challenging to see little people everyday, my desire to have kids intensifies. :-(

I'm not sure if we can, since we are in a foreign country. :-(

Praying for you.

I have been in your shoes and I understand how you feel. My husband and I waited (sometimes impatiently) for 8 years before God blessed us with our first child. It took another 7 years before he blessed us with our second. During that time it wasn't easy to rejoice when friends and family members became pregnant.

Hindsight is 20/20 so they say. It has been almost 20 years since my last pregnancy and I can honestly say "Thank you Lord" that my husband and I didn't have children right away. We would have missed the blessings God was pouring out on us, although at the time we didn't recognize them.

During those years my husband and I were able to really focus on each other and our marriage. We have now been married 30+ years and are best friends and partners. There is a strong bond we share because together we have walked through good and bad times and have found the Lord faithful. Another incredible blessing is that we were able to immerse ourselves in undistracted ministry. We would not have been able to do that if children were in the picture.

I pray you will learn to trust God's will for your life (and His perfect timing) and that you will be fully aware of the blessings that you have right now in the waiting.

God bless you,
