Prayers for our baby on the way...

[Hannah Smiff]

My fiancé and I have been together for over a year and have been engaged for about four months. We are not yet married. However, we have struggled with sexual sin quite a bit. I am now 6 weeks pregnant. We have 2 daughters from previous marriages. We do love each other very much and we are completely devoted to raising this child. However I do live in fear that because what we did was a sin that God may cause a miscarriage or an unhealthy baby. I fear God because our sin. I pray for forgiveness. I thank God for this baby every day. And I pray for the health of this baby. Any advice or prayers are greatly appreciated for our family.

Praying for you Hannah, God sees your heart.....perhaps you are being nudged into marriage?
That isn't advice, per se, just the thought that floated through my mind.
My He bless and keep you

Hannah,
For Christ there is no 'time'. He lives in and is the past, present, and future. Therefore, when he died on the cross he FORGAVE all sin. At that moment he forgave you of your sins; past, present, and future. So why is it that so many people believe that he is waiting to punish us for our sins when he has already forgiven them? To attribute such fears to God is to belittle what he did on the cross for you. He is not looking to punish you or your child. In fact, he is planning a future of hope for you. 1 John 4:18- "Such love has no fear, because perfect love expels all fear; If we are afraid, it is for fear of punishment, and this shows that we have not fully experienced his perfect love." Since Christ is perfect love, fear cannot have a place near him. What you are feeling is not from Christ. Your best option is to seek Christ through prayer and worship. Learn to live in his perfect love. Ask him what he wants for your life and for your Child's. When you learn to live in his perfect love, you will want to do what pleases your Heavenly Father and you will begin to see that he is not a God waiting to punish you for sin, but a God who wants to love on you because he is delighted in his child whom he LOVES. Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
God bless you and your baby. I hope you find the peace that Christ offers. Be still and rest in him.

It's okay to be worried. Baby is a gift. The same is true love. Believe in your happiness and thank God that he gave it too you. May your pregnancy be safe!
