a little scared....need some direction

[KatrinaC]

Hello all....My name is Katrina, you can call me Kat.

I have been a Christian most of my life and tried to live a good life and do as I should, but sometimes you know you get tired of waiting on God's time and start to try and speed things up yourself right? I know, you have all been there probably. Well, for 6 years we tried to get pregnant with the help of infertility drugs and what not and it never worked. Finally about 6 months ago I prayed one night and said "Lord, if it's your will for me to live without a child, then I accept it."

About 2 weeks ago I found out I am pregnant! I was so excited and I still am, but now there are new fears surfacing and I don't quite know how to handle them. Like I used to be a surgical assistant and I got splashed in the eye one time with blood and while all my testing turned out ok, I never finished it. Now that I am pregnant I have to have all the pregnancy screening done including Hepatitis and AIDS testing, and I am freaking out that my stupidity back then will affect my child now.

I have prayed to the Lord to protect this child and raise him to be healthy so he could go on to serve him, but I am just scared that something bad is going to come back. I don't know how many of you are healthcare workers in here, and that's not what I am seeking.

I just need comfort I guess......I work with alot of strong faithful women and they have all prayed with me and told me I would be fine that everything is going to be fine, but still....I am scared. This child was such a God-send, it's a miracle actually, sent from God, and i don't want any harm to come to it or me.

Anyone have any suggestions as to how to give this all to God so I don't feel so weighed down? I am just terrified right now, my insides are all in knots and I don't know what to do. I am sure I will be fine, but still, the fear is there.

i don't know quite how to respond. I will certainly pray for you and your baby.

As to how you can give it all to God - i would suggest that you read and study the Word of God whenever you get the opportunity and pray in earnest.

Although i pray every day, when something is really troubling me I will just fall to my knees and ask the Lord to take on my burden. Obviously i show him due reverance, i don't just fall to my knees in the local supermarket or something - but there is no rule of prayer other than that you open your heart. The Lord already knows what it is that you want to say, but he does so appreciate your taking the time to say it.


Perhaps reading particular scriptural verses might help ? :

"Cast all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you" 1Peter 5:7

"Is anyone among you suffering, let him pray" James 5:13

"God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble" Psalm 46 v1

hope this helps you somewhat.

Dear Lord, I thank you for having granted the prayer of Katrina and enabled her to become pregnant. Yet, she is worried about some fears etc.
Though she is sustained by the prayers of many prayer warriors, yet she is worried. Lord, remove all such fears and worries from her mind. Fill her mind with thoughts of hope and peace. Protect the expected child and the mother from harm and grant her a safe delivery of a healthy baby. Help her to draw closer to you. In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

(Psa 91:14) Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.
(Psa 91:15) He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honour him.
(Psa 91:16) With long life will I satisfy him, and shew him my salvation.

Read psalm 91 and know how powerful God really is. Best thing about it is that he is in your corner! I have prayed for you.

 

[JeffreyLloyd]

For those who suffer,
and those who cry this night,
give them repose, Lord;
a pause in their burdens.
Let there be minutes
where they experience peace,
not of man
but of angels.
Love them, Lord,
when others cannot.
Hold them, Lord,
when we fail with human arms.
Hear their prayers
and give them the ability to hear You back
in whatever language they best understand.

Thank you all so very much for your prayers. I have been in Bible since I found out I was pregnant, and it has helped me alot over the last few weeks, and this morning, while I am still a little tied up inside, I also feel this sense of peace, as if there is something near to me, guarding over me.

I am trying to believe all will be alright, and I find myself very lucky to have stumbled into this forum. Thank you all once again. May God bless your lives as you have taken the time to touch mine.

I have to agree, what a lovely prayer JeffreyLloyd!

I will lift you also in prayer Kat. Last year my co-worker was pregnant. She wanted so badly to be able to be a stay at home mom. So we prayed that God would work out a way that she could. Even though we were praying, she was still anxious. She told me that she just kept praying for God to give her his peace in the situation. And finally one day, He did. Or it was more than likely there all along, she just finally accepted it. And I think the same will happen for you. The more you talk to God, the more you open yourself up to him. The same with reading his word. And than one day, you will just be filled with his peace. And it will be such a wonderful feeling, you will wonder why you did all of this worrying!

Oh, and yes, my co-worker was able to quit work and be a stay at home mom. Not quite the way she imagined it, but God worked things out in his way.
