My wife and I have been trying to have a baby for a little over 2 years now.
One of my friends just recently had a son in April and while I'm happy for him I cannot help but be jealous. His wife also had a miscarriage about a year and a half ago and I couldn't help but feel happy. I was happy but sad at the same time when I heard the news. This made me feel awful because, it was an awful thing to be happy that someone had a miscarriage. I also cannot help but be Jealous of all of the people out there that have babies and kids and I don't have any. It makes me really sad.
It's true, when I was younger I thought that I'd never get married and here I am several years later, married. So I probably will have a baby eventually. I just am getting sick of praying and begging God for a baby and getting disappointed every single month. I want a baby now. I mean, my sister was supposed to never be able to have kids and she has two daughters.
My brother, it is well with you and your marriage. But please keep hope alive! Even if five people get married on the same day, it might not be possible for all of them to have their first baby before their first year wedding anniversary at the same time. Is a fact! When I got married, it was three of us that got wedded within three months in my church. One of us have their first child before their wedding anniversary, the other family have miscarriage while I have to wait for two years before we have our first child.
During the time of my waiting, so many people told me to do so many thing which some of them are not godly. But we keep trusting God. At a point, my wife was worried, she was ready to do anything to have children. But because I did not permit her to do just anything, she could not do what she wanted to do. We keep on trying and trusting God. We did not know until the doctor confirm that she was three weeks pregnant.
However, period to this time, her doctor ask us to do medical test. She was ready to do the test but within me, I don't feel like doing the medical test. Because I know that before we got married, I did not misused myself while growing up. By the time she was to give birth to our daughter, she deliver without any problem. The nurse started calling her "HEBREW WOMAN." After she deliver, she told me, " thank you for not allowing me to do what God have not plan for us. Because if we did, those people will tell us if not because of them we would not have, have a child."
You need to have faith in God. Trust Him and He shall give You the desire of your heart. You need not to be jealous of others. This might affect your prayer request. In the book of Job, we were make to understand that it was when Job pray for his friend before God answer Jobs prayer request for restoration/blessing.
Beside, Hebrew 12 vs 2 says, looking unto Jesus the author and the finisher of our faith... You must not give up now. Keep trusting God for your children, they will come no matter how long it might take. Bible says, God make things beautiful in His time, not in our time, not when we want it but in the time that God has appointed for us. In Jeremiah, the bible says, "the thought I (God) have for you is good and to give you an expected end." Bible also say, under the sun, there are times and seasons for everyone of us.
I have a pastor, he and his wife waited for twenty five years before they have their first child. During those periods, so many woman came to him and his wife for prayers. Every year, there is always child dedication, the pastor have to pray for the child family while pastor's wife have to carry the child for child dedication forward. Both are doing this until God show forth in their family and after twenty five years of marriage, they have their first child.
God is not sleeping just because of you. He's just preparing the best for you. So that when you have them, you will know that you have not waited in-vain. Keep trusting God, they will come.
