It is very private but my daughter, who is 19, is expecting a baby and there is alot of stress in our home right now. It has affected everyone and we need prayers for strength and guidance. Thank you all.

There is a saying that God does not give you more than you can handle. Although he sometimes does push it to the limits, it is a test of faith, and I have a very good feeling your faith and sense of family is strong. Once over the initial shock and some disappointment all will work out. I also believe there is a reason for everything. Hang in there, be strong and I will say a few words in your behalf. Bless you.
Dear God:
Please shine your light on this family that is in turmoil. There is a child there having a child, heed your words to "suffer not the children" I believe that in your all knowing wisdom, there is a reason for everything, help this family to realize that this is in your devine spectrum of plans, and that with you guiding them in spirit in love , there will be a bright light at the end of the dark tunnel they are currently looking into. Amen

Hi Alexandriagal,
il pray for you, but part of u should begin to block out d negativity. Ur daughter's having a baby at age 19. And u think it's a very difficult & stressful time..But really my friend, it's ur perspective that's making it so stressful. I know Im not in ur shoe & will never understand ur predicament..but this i have to say: Once you have the baby (who will be ur grandchild) in ur hands..everything will change. Everytime there's a baby in the house, laughters will be there. Iv had friends who are in this same situation as u, but after d baby was born it seems as if nothing has happened. Babies have this certain magnet that brings the best out of people..Love, laughter,forgiveness. Wait until d baby come. ul love him/her. As for ur daughter, for now it seems as if she committed a big mistake..fastforward 20 years. Imagine she's not even 40 & already she has an 20 yr old offspring. Hey u mite even be a great grandmother..Remember friend, perspective..everything will be "JUST FINE".

Oh Lord, our Heavenly Father, please look down in mercy and kindness and bless this family as they deal with the difficult consequences of the young woman's mistake. Hold them in the palm of Your mighty hand and let Your holy love and strength surround them. Give them wisdom, that they may support one another through this tough time. Take care of the mother-to-be, Lord, guard her health, and let the little one be born into a family that loves and provides for him or her. Set Your angels to watch over them and don't let trouble or anger or impatience rise in their hearts. Call upon Your servants in their area, and let the whole family's hearts be eased and gladdened by the kindnesses of their neighbors and friends. Again and again, we've seen You take the most insurmountable problems and turn them into the greatest blessings, for Your great glory. Pour out Your peace and grace on this family, then, Lord, that this season of storms may teach them to love and appreciate each other more than ever, and show them that no obstacles are too difficult for those who love and seek You. Above all, Father, we pray, fill their hearts with Your unimaginable love, goodness, and mercy. Lord, we ask these blessings boldly in the beloved, holy name of Jesus. Thank You, Lord. Amen.

I will pray for you that you that you find peace in your lives. The birth of a child is a gift just as the birth of baby Jesus was. Jut think of the millions of couples that would give anything to be able to have a child but can't conceive. This must be in the plan.♥j

Yea sure will.l dont know what your stress is about- but a baby-will bring things back into perspective- you will all be over whelmed with love when you see baby,-and l do hope "she/he" is not part of the problem. Keep a clear head, do a list of reasons WHY you are all stressed- and prioratise them -1_10, working from the 10 up, try to sit down and talk abot each no- individually- and ways to solve it-this way you will only be left with the No 1 problem- and can work together to solve it- theres Always a way you know- you just may not be able to see it yet. God only gives you-what he feels you can handle- hope thats some help?.A Hymn-not a prayer-
Jesus loves me!this l know,for the bible tells me so,
little ones to him belong,they are weak but He is strong
Yes Jesus loves me,yes Jesus love me
Yes Jesus loves me-the Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me this l know,as he loved so long ago
taking children on His Knee
saying "let them come to Me"
Yes Jesus loves me,Yes Jesus loves me
Yes Jesus loves me-the Bible tells me so.
Jesus loves me still today,walking with me All the way
wanting as a friend to give,light and love to all who live
Yes Jesus loves me, Yes Jesus loves me
Yes Jesus loves me,the bible tells me so.
l hope you can maybe play that in your head-in stressful times? l find that helps me- There is a solution to every problem-we just have to search for it-in my thoughts and prayers- Love Jo xx

may she have an easy delivery and a great son/duagter... and may you enjoy the newborn together... try not to be tense or at least hide it for her sake and the baby's... she need to be as optimistic and happy as possible... she's 19 and it's the first experience... so try to give her comfort that everything is going to be alright and that the newborn is waiting for her as much as she's waiting for him...
my grandma had my her first delivery at 18 at times when no technology was used... so don't worry... and pray... bless you and may god answer our prayers... love you :)

God be with you and your family and God bless you and your family consider it done.and everyone goes through a hard time. and it may seem everything is always gonna be alright and fair but its life. life can be cruel but God put us here. I exactly know how you feel. exact same kind of thing when my grandma was going through her cancer treatments and i kept my faith cause i know God cares and God always listens and i know God works in mysterious ways and thank God her cancer is gone.my point is just talk it out with God and he knows whats going on.
