Please pray for me and for my little boy. I started to feel low a few weeks ago and in the past week my son's nursery have said he's not talking and they are concerned about his socialisation. it is the first time they have mentioned it and it's really hard to get clear information and answers from them. He has been there for nearly two years and I am feeling so confused and upset they haven't mentioned anything before.

I have always struggled with anxiety about him and I listened to some preaching that said that we can cause the devil to make things happen to us by being afraid of them so we have to think positively and have faith. I can't help but think it's all my fault . I'm worried I have broken my son somehow because of my anxiety. I am pregnant with my third child and I think I have done such a bad job I don't deserve to be a mother.

Please pray for my faith. I think maybe if I have more faith things will get better for my son. I know I am probably not making much sense. I just wish I could get his nursery to communicate with me properly. At the moment I am worried there is no future for him.

Sometimes stress in a household can cause these things, but I wouldn't say that there is no future for him. Maybe if the nursery isn't communicating well you can find another one? idk. Sometimes children have a hard time socializing in big groups, it may be overwhelming to him I'm not sure. Does he communicate well when you are around him with a few other kids and/or grownups? Maybe he isn't interested in the other games or activities the other kids do, just some things to look into and see if that is the cause. I do think prayers about your anxiety is very important, and reading the Bible, will help, God is our comfort and our strength, and He will give us peace. Maybe spend some time reading and praying by yourself, and then letting your kids come and read and pray with them so they know how to deal with life situations when it gets a little hard for them. I hope it gets better for you guys. Will be praying!

Just a little update. Thank you for praying. The depression over things has lifted quite a bit in the last hour. I'm still confused by what the nursery is saying and frustrated but I have been able to spend some time with my children without feeling so bad about them and I am generally feeling a lot better. Thank you.

Yes, you deserve to be a mother, God made you a mother, so be blessed and be the best mom that you can be. Heavenly Father, whatever is causing the little boy to regress his feelings, may You bring inner healing and help him to express those feelings and may he share his concerns or fears with someone that he will feel free to speak with, and be helped, In Jesus Name, Amen

God knows all. I ask that He provide you with solutions... perhaps having him evaluated somewhere else... or thinking and praying positive for a good outcome. Don't be sucked into the world's labels and dilemmas, but trust God. :prayer:

So glad you've given us a great update.
But I'll just leave this here...
Every individual kid is different. He or she will hit their milestones at a different rate, speed and way.
Being worried and asking for prayers shows how much you care for your children. God gives us only what we can handle.
Stay positive. You're a good momma. We will here though to lend you our ears and to offer support.

Hugs

:heart: Bless yer heart, and your precious son's...praying for both of you, that all that may come against you be thwarted and that God's grace, blessings and favor supersede ALL things. Father may it be so, in Jesus name, amen (((hug)))

Be sure to talk to your son...at every age...and tell him things aren't his fault, that you two are doing fine because God loves you, reassure with hugs. You'll get through this.
