A wise woman builds her own life and calls you to embrace independence and self-reliance.
God’s love lifts us from despair and sin into eternal life and joy.
God often places the relief we need right beside us if we would only open our eyes to see it.
We are so thankful you reached out and shared your heart with us as you walk through this precious and challenging season of pregnancy. We rejoice that you desire to trust the Lord and His will, and we are standing with you in prayer for you and your child. We hear your longing for health, love and prosperity, and we love that you cling to the truth that His faithful love endures forever, as it is written Give thanks to Yahweh, for he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever Psalm 136:1.
We want to gently and lovingly speak to a couple of important things you shared. You mentioned trusting the lord, but you did not mention the name of Jesus Christ. We want to lovingly remind you that it is only through Jesus that we have access to the Father and it is only by His name that we are saved, for Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father, except through me John 14:6 and There is salvation in none other, for neither is there any other name under heaven, that is given among men, by which we must be saved Acts 4:12. If you have not already, we encourage you to place your full trust in Jesus Christ, believing that He died for your sins and rose again, confessing Him as Lord, for If we confess our sins, he is faithful and righteous to forgive us the sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness 1 John 1:9. This is the foundation for knowing God's will and experiencing His enduring love.
We also want to lovingly address that you shared you are pregnant and single. We know this can feel overwhelming and we want to surround you with grace and truth. The Bible teaches that sexual intimacy is a gift designed by God for marriage between a man and a woman, and that sex outside of marriage is fornication which calls us to repentance. It is written Flee sexual immorality. Every sin that a man does is outside the body, but he who commits sexual immorality sins against his own body 1 Corinthians 6:18. We say this not to condemn you, for there is forgiveness and newness of life in Christ, but to encourage you to walk in purity from this day forward and to experience the freedom and blessing of His forgiveness. Your child is not defined by the circumstances of conception, but is a beautiful gift from God, for Behold, children are a heritage of Yahweh. The fruit of the womb is his reward Psalm 127:3 and For you formed my inmost being. You knit me together in my mother's womb Psalm 139:13. God already knows and loves this little one.
We also want to encourage you in what you seek. Health, love and true prosperity are found in seeking God first and trusting His provision rather than our own understanding. We pray God will align your life with His perfect will, which is always for your good. Trust in Yahweh with all your heart, and don't lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight Proverbs 3:5-6. His promise to you is Don't you be afraid, for I am with you. Don't be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you. Yes, I will help you. Yes, I will uphold you with the right hand of my righteousness Isaiah 41:10 and I will in no way leave you, neither will I in any way forsake you Hebrews 13:5. True prosperity is not a guarantee of wealth, but the assurance that My God will supply every need of yours according to his riches in glory in Christ Jesus Philippians 4:19. If in the future you desire a relationship, we encourage you to pursue courtship with the goal of marriage to a fellow believer in Christ, as marriage is a lifelong commitment between a man and a woman that honors God, rather than simply seeking a partner or boyfriend.
We are praying together for you now.
Father, in the name of Jesus Christ we lift up this dear mother and her unborn child to You. We thank You for this precious life You are knitting together and for this mother's desire to trust You. We ask for Your forgiveness, grace and cleansing where there has been sin, and we thank You that Your loving kindness indeed endures forever. We pray for health and protection over her body and the baby's body throughout this pregnancy and delivery. We pray for Your perfect love to surround them both, for Your peace to guard her heart from fear and anxiety, and for Your faithful provision for every physical, emotional and financial need. Align their lives with Your will, draw her close to Jesus, and help her to seek You first in all things. Surround her with a strong community of believers in a local church who can support, encourage and walk with her. Give her wisdom for the days ahead and joy in the gift You have entrusted to her. We ask all this in the mighty name of Jesus, our only hope and Savior. Amen.
We encourage you to stay rooted in Scripture, to pray daily in Jesus name, to seek prenatal care and to connect with a Bible believing church family who can come alongside you practically and spiritually. Keep casting your cares on Him, for He cares for you, and keep trusting that He who has begun this good work will be faithful to complete it.

We were so glad you reached out. Being pregnant and facing this season on your own takes real strength, and we hear your heart to trust the Lord with both your lives. It makes sense that health and a stable, loving future are at the top of your mind right now.
You do not have to carry all of this quietly by yourself. In our experience having a few steady people around makes a big difference in these months, whether that is family, a trusted friend, or a local church family who can check in and offer practical help. If you have a prenatal care team, we encourage you to stay close to them for your health and the baby's health as the weeks continue, and to let one safe person know how you are really doing so support does not stay at a distance. We are also praying for wisdom for the decisions ahead and for peace as you take one day at a time.
Father, we lift this mom and her child to You in Jesus name. Cover them with Your care, grant health and safety in these weeks, provide for their needs, and surround them with faithful, caring people. Give her rest, wisdom and confidence in Your enduring love as she trusts You step by step. Amen.

Spurgeon
Beloved of All
Your request has been heard with care and with prayer before the throne of grace, and we thank you for your honest desire to trust the Lord and His will in this season.
The faithful love of the Lord does indeed endure forever, and it is a precious thing that you would look to Him now. The Scriptures teach us that to trust God is to take Him at His word as a little child takes his mother at her word. A child who is told by his mother that she is near does not reason or doubt, but believes her because she has said it and because she never tells lies. So deal with God as you would have your children deal with you. Believe Him when He speaks in His Word, and believe that what He promises in Christ He will surely perform. True humility is not to question whether God will keep His word, but to rest upon it.
We rejoice that you seek health and love and provision from His hand, and we will pray for you and for your child that the Lord in His mercy would grant you bodily health and strength, daily provision, and a heart kept in His peace. Yet we would also lovingly set before you the whole counsel of God, for His faithful love is not separate from His holy will. Salvation is found through Jesus Christ alone, by trusting in His shed blood, and there a sinner finds pardon and a new heart. And the Lord in His wisdom has ordained marriage to be a lifelong covenant of one man and one woman, and that the gift of children and the union of bodies belongs within that covenant. This order is for our good and for His glory, and when we have walked outside it we are called not to presume upon His blessing of our way, but to come humbly to Christ for forgiveness and for grace to walk anew in His statutes.
Do not think that this leaves you without hope. Those that have trusted in God find Him to be as real as if they could see Him, and He is the God of the hills and the God of the valleys, present in every place and able to help the lowly as well as the great. He does not despise a broken and contrite heart. Afflictions and straits are not signs that He has forgotten you, but often the very place where He teaches us to declare our ways to Him and to hear His answer, Teach me Your statutes.
We pray for you in this way, that you would know the mercy of God not as a vague hope but as it is found in Christ alone, that you would receive by faith the forgiveness that comes only through His blood, that you would know present peace and the hope of future perfection in Him, that the Lord would watch over you and the child within you and bring you safely through, that He would surround you with the care of His people in the church, and that He would lead you to love and serve Him and to walk in purity and trust before Him all your days. We pray that you would not limit God by unbelief, but would give Him honor by trusting His promises and laboring to follow Him.
Cast yourself wholly upon the Lord Jesus, and prove His faithfulness day by day. He who has borne our sins in His own body will not leave those who trust in Him to tread the winepress alone.

Beloved of All
We thank you for sharing your honest request and for your desire to trust the Lord in this season. We hear both your hope and your vulnerability as you carry new life as a single mother, and we want to pray for you and your child with both truth and compassion.
God's faithful love does indeed endure forever, and that love is most clearly shown in Jesus Christ, through whom alone we have forgiveness and salvation. Whatever has happened in the past, the good news is that God is able to change our weak and unsettled wills, as Christ once changed water into wine, and to make us new. He does not leave us as we are, but calls us to receive mercy, to turn from what is outside His will, and to walk in new life with Him. There is no condemnation for those who come to Him in humble repentance and faith, and His grace gives power to live differently going forward.
Scripture teaches that salvation is through Jesus alone and that marriage is a lifelong covenant between one man and one woman, and that sexual union and living together belong within that covenant. This design is not to burden you but to protect you and to show the faithful love of Christ for His people. We will not ask God to bless what is outside that design, but we do ask Him to bless you with repentance where needed, with healing, with strength to pursue purity and holiness from this day forward, and with wise counsel and faithful community around you. Your child is known and loved by God, and your life and the life of your child have dignity and purpose in His eyes.
You asked for health, love and prosperity. We pray for your health and the health of your child, and we ask God to give you a plain and sound life, caring for your body for health and not for excess, and to guard you from anxiety about wealth. True riches are not found in having many possessions but in needing little and being content in Christ, trusting Him rather than gold or outward show. True prosperity is to know Christ, to be rooted in His love, and to have what you need for daily life as you seek first His kingdom. God promises to provide for His children, often through the care of His church family, and we encourage you to stay close to a faithful local church where you can receive practical help, accountability and love.
We pray for you now.
Father in heaven, we thank You that Your faithful love endures forever and that You are merciful to sinners through Jesus Christ alone. We lift up this mother and her child to You. Grant them health and protection in these weeks of pregnancy and in birth. Provide for their needs according to Your wisdom. Comfort her heart, calm her fears, and deepen her trust in Your will. Grant her repentance and faith where she needs it, wash her in the forgiveness of Christ, and change her heart to love what You love. Help her to walk in purity and in hope, and surround her with faithful believers who will support her and her child with love and truth. Teach her to find her joy and security not in fleeting things but in You. Shape her life and the life of her child for Your glory. In the name of Jesus we ask this, amen.
We encourage you to keep seeking the Lord daily in prayer and in His Word, to meet regularly with a pastor for counsel and care, and to let other believers help you in practical ways. God is able to keep what you entrust to Him and to lead you step by step.
