Dear Zion,
Jesus loves you, He really really does. You are not alone, although sometimes when we change our walk and focus on our Savior and eternal things, we can feel lonely as the things of this world fall away. You have come to the right place, and so, I would suggest that God does answer prayer! You have come to a site where there are women who love Your Lord, our Lord. You have come to a site where some of those women have had abortions...
I found myself in your situation 22 years ago. I made the wrong choice. I chose to have an abortion and with the loss of that dear life, came loss of peace, joy and the knowledge of who I am in Jesus. It took many years... many... to reconcile with my Lord, my family and myself. The grief, nightmares, and emotional pain have been a constant struggle. Yet, Christ IS victorious! He has brought me through. I say this not to suggest you that you go ahead and have an abortion, but to remind those reading this, that God IS faithful and He is ABLE to redeem all things. This promise of His love and restoration did not spare me the consequence and pain of my choice though, and so I implore you to not consider abortion as an option for your life or the life of your child.
If you choose life, if you choose to see this pregnancy through, God WILL bless you through it. He WILL be faithful to care for you as you obey Him and seek to allow Him to give you beauty for ashes, strength for fear, gladness for mourning and peace for despair. There are other options dear Sis that will bless your baby with life and give the Lord room to do a glorious good work in you and your child, and even your boyfriend. Yours will become a testimony of trust and faith that will bring others to know Jesus as their Savior and Lord. Trust in Him, and He will provide a way for you! He will also use the decision for life to bless your boyfriend, whether you stay together or separate, whether you choose to raise your child or allow someone else to adopt such a blessing.
Please contact me via private mail here on the site. We would love to pray with you, encourage you, and do what we can to help you find the support you need. There is a way, hang on, and listen to the Lover of your soul Who is already speaking to your heart and causing you to question what seems like an easy way out. Abortion is not the easy way out, it has been the greatest regret of my life, and I wait for the day when God will take me home and I will be able to hold my child in my arms and say, "I love you. I am sorry, please forgive me." Don't let this grief be yours as well, there is so much more that your Jesus has for you.
All my love and hope,
Jen

Lovely Zion,

I don't know where you are physically but I do know you have choices other than the one your boyfriend wants you to make. When my daughter became pregnant at 17 her father send her information and funds to have an abortion. She couldn't do that but was unsure if she could be a mother or raise a child. We contacted the local Catholic charities. They have a program that councils young expecting mothers and their families, offers healthcare and adoption services. They are very caring and loving and it was a true blessing. My grandson is now 14 and he has a little sister that will be 4 in a few weeks. She is a wonderful and protective mom. Open your heart fully to God, He will help you along your journey. May God bless and keep you always.

I'm so glad you came here. A few months ago, I found this site and cried out for prayer. The journey I have been on for healing since then is amazing, but its not over. I struggle. Today was one of those days but I remember the power of prayer. " Let us then approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need" Hebrews 4:16. If I have learned anything it is the power of prayer. It's not a quick fix or an instant problem solver, well it can be but God usually lets us go through the process, step by step, relying on him to lead and guide us through. It is through this process that we grow in ways we never could otherwise. Don't give up. Keep coming to God, day after day, hour after hour, minute by minute...whatever is needed. Know that your sister in Christ are praying for you.
