Prayer Requests

You sent me:

"I need prayers. I'm 17 and I'm pregnate. The baby daddy wants nothing to do with us and is moving to Colorado. I'm scared I won't be able to give this baby the life it deserves"

I'm sorry to hear about this. I wish I could make the father take responsibility for the child, since it's his. As a guy who grew up without a father myself, I feel that running away like that is so cowardly, but I'm not going to talk further about him, I don't think he's worth it. Anyway, I'll be happy to pray over you.

Dear Lord, right now I lift up Lifeless_In_Seattle to you. She's still young, and already tasked with being a mother, while the father refuses to be responsible. Lord, I pray that you will guide this new mother as she begins to raise another of your children. I ask that you will be there for them and that you will give this baby a father figure, even if that isn't the baby's real father. Lord, I ask that you will help them as they struggle with things like money, food, and such. Lord, you are a provider, you've provided my family with so much when we struggled, and I pray that you will do the same with this family. Lord, I pray that anything that is not of you will be forced to leave this new mother and her baby alone. I also pray for the father Lord, that you will come to him and bring him to realize the mistake he's making, that he will feel he has to come back and raise this child. I pray all this in your Holy name, Amen.

I really hope and pray for the best for you guys. Like I said, I grew up without a father, so I know it can be a bit rough. Just make sure to hold up your faith, and the Lord will provide.
