Lord, I am not sure if this is selfish ...

[askingforhelp]

Lord, I am not sure if this is selfish prayer, however, I need you to hear me out. There is a possibility I am the father to an unborn child. The girl who is carrying this unborn child is a friend of mine. Nothing more, nothing less. She and her ex-boyfriend broke up and her and I ended up having sex. She discovered she was pregnant, 5 months along, last Wednesday (Feb. 4th). She notified me that there was a small chance I could be the father. I understand we must all take responsibility for our actions, but I pray that this child is not mine. My father is dying of cancer and the news of a child out of wedlock would devastate my family. I am not ready nor suitable to be a father...yet. Her and I are not in love nor will ever be anything more than friends. I want this child to grow up in a loving, two-parent home.

This is something her and I (if I am indeed the father, will never be able to provide for this child). I know it sounds selfish for me to not want this child in my life, but with my life just beginning to shape up the way I want it. I feel so selfish even typing that, but please spare me lord. Please spare my family this news. Please allow me to have children when I am fully ready and capable. Also, please bless my friend, Sarah, with the guidance needed to give this child the gift of the best shot at life. As a recovering drug-addict and girl with no job and no schooling, I know within my heart she is not prepared to undertake this child. Lord, please find her a family that would welcome this child with open arms and give him/her a fair shot, a good life and a happy life. Please help us. Please help me. Forgive me for all the sins I have committed and allow me to continue my path to righteousness in your son Jesus' name, Amen.

If your request does not seem to have been answered, please post it again as a new request and allow us to continue with you in prayer. We all hope that our prayers are answered in the way that we want. Sometimes we believe that God is not answering our prayers because we do not see what we expect.
