Yes, No, Not Yet

I've been told that God has 3 answers to all requests,  "Yes, no and not yet". If you prayed and were blessed with a child,  then it's safe to say that your answer was the first one. But if you are reading this, then you most likely haven't and then His answer is one of the other two. "Not yet" is not so bad, it just requires lots of patience and lots of faith. But "no" is the one we don't ever want to hear. No one wants to ask for something, especially a child, and hear "no" for an answer.  However, I have good news. Even if His answer is "no", God's plan for you is better  than anything you can come up with for yourself. So His answer is not "no", its really "no, because I have something better". Have faith that whichever answer you get it is the best plan He has for you. Jesus said "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you: (Matthew 7:7 KJVA)". Boy have I asked! I've been asking everyday for the past 2 years. Recently, I began to wonder if this daily request would increase my chances of getting pregnant. Would I be able to persuade God's decision if I prayed and asked daily? Is it really necessary to ask everyday? Or is God up there thinking "Alright already...you sound like a broken record!" So, I decided I was no longer going to pray for a baby, I was instead going to pray for other things and other people. I'm ashamed to say that I got tired of praying and had temporarily lost my faith. Two days later after Sunday mass, we said hi to the priest and he asked my husband about our children. My husband quickly corrected him, like we do anytime anyone asks if we have kids, and told him that we have been trying. Having said that, the priest said a prayer for us to conceive. I was surprised by this because we haven't really had any other interaction with him and he doesn't know how long we had been trying for or even that it's a concern for us. So why would he immediately assume we needed a prayer? Well, I quickly realized that this was God's way of telling me to not stop praying, and that if I do, He will get other people to do it for me. So needless to say, I went back to asking Him for a baby daily. Before this happened, I wasn't confident that my prayers were being effective or heard, but He clearly showed me that they are.  I don't know why He needs us to keep asking but He showed me that He does. So continue to ask daily and do not doubt that you are being heard. 

Do you think God is listening to your prayers? Please share in the comments below, I would love to know that there are people trying to conceive reading my blog.

God bless!

  1. I know exactly what you mean!!!
    I don't think He is listening... I know. I have been TTC for almost 3 years. I'm finally in a good place, emotionally. My marriage has been strengthened beyond belief. I truly think that was God's plan all along. Now we are finally as Close as we've ever been to conceiving... with the help of a lot of prayer (and quite a bit of science too)

  2. I know He hears me each and every time. I know He comforts me each time the answer is no, and I know He has a better plan in mind for someday! It is super hard, though!

    1. Oh no! I'm sorry. Please don't think that. He does listen and He hurts with you. I pray you find your faith again and that you get peace while you wait. Don't give up! Your baby is coming. Look at this website you might find more encouragement www.IAMFRUITFUL.org

  4. Please note that God never fails. I waited 25 years for my miracle baby. I would not have it any other way. During the waiting, I grew to know the Lord and to love him. When the time came for my visitation, it was perfect all round maritally, financially. Socially. I was in a beautiful place in my life. God's blessings add riches and no sorrow. It's worth waiting for God's blessings. Count your blessings everyday. Look around you and see his beauty in people, things and even yourself How fearfully and wonderfully made they all are.
    Ask God for help and guidance and he will show you the way. May the Lord hear all your prayers and attend to you. Amen
    Read and meditate on Isaiah 42:26 and Numbers 6: 24-26

  10. my partner and I have been trying for a baby for over two years now, We were going to a fertility clinic for about 5 months before somebody at baby center told us to contact this spell caster who is so powerful, We contacted him at this email; babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka , for him to help us, then we told him our problem, he told us that we will conceive once we follow his instructions ,but after two years of trying we were at a point where we were willing to try anything. And I'm glad we came to Priest Babaka, Because his pregnancy spell cast and herbal remedy help us, and I honestly believe him, and his gods really helped us as well, I am thankful for all he has done. contact him via email: babaka.wolf@gmail.com or Facebook at priest.babaka if you are trying to have a baby or want your lover back. he has powers to do it, he has done mine
