Is it wrong to pray for a miscarriage?

Well in my opinion that is nearly worse than just going ahead and getting an abortion.

I don't really believe this tripe, but if your that desperate go get blind drunk and throw yourself down the stairs.

Idiot.

Yes it is. If you're wishing that your baby dies, how different is that from having an abortion?

Why don't you try adoption? You won't be hurting your baby or wishing that he dies, you won't have to spend a penny on diapers or baby food, and a nice couple who can't have children will be blessed with your unwanted joy.

I know it's hard to have an unexpected pregnancy. I've had three in my lifetime. I have faced the temptation to pray for a miscarriage, and I failed to withstand it for two of those pregnancies. So please know, I speak not only from experience, but with the fullest measure of compassion because I know *exactly* how you are feeling.

Yes, it's wrong to pray for a miscarriage.

It's NOT wrong to be afraid. It's NOT wrong to be nervous about how you are going to pay your bills. It's NOT wrong to prefer getting a full night's sleep.

What's wrong is the "kill him now" attitude. You, as this child's parent, have an obligation not only to teach him right from wrong, but to demonstrate God's unfailing love so that he can see the truth of Christ and be united with the Lord forever. By praying, "kill him now" you're effectively abdicating your responsibility to this child. And that's a sin.

If you've already prayed for a miscarriage, of course you can seek forgiveness and receive it. The Lord knows what you are going through, too.

If you think, however, that you can pray that prayer intentionally, knowing that its sinful, and then just repent afterwards and get it taken care of, you don't understand the meaning of repentance and grace.

But let's get back to your situation.

You're nervous about many things. You're worried about money. You're worried about getting enough sleep. You are probably worried about other things -- how the other parent is reacting, maybe, or your job or your education. Deep down inside, you might even be wondering if you can love this child at all, since he is so "completely unwanted."

These are the things you need to pray about. Pray about the bills. Pray about coming up with the cash for diapers and all that other stuff. Pray that you'll get enough rest. Pray that you will be humble enough to ask for and receive help if it comes to that. Pray that your spouse will be positive about this. Pray about your job or school or whatever it is. Pray that God will help change your heart so that you can love this baby as much as He already does.

I will tell you what happened with me. When I got pregnant the last time, it really had to be miraculous, because I wasn't even close to ovulating, and yet, there I was, pregnant. My husband thought it was hilarious. I thought it was a terrible situation. We still had a baby at home (she was 10 months old). We were living paycheck to paycheck. I was exhausted as it was, and I get very, very sick during pregnancy (8 months of morning sickness -- I get the 7th month off, but then it comes back with a vengence). I had a very long list of reasons why having another baby at that time was not a good idea.

I did pray for a miscarriage, much to my shame and regret. We waited for a while before telling anybody, just in case. When I did tell my mom, she urged me to have an abortion because I was "too old" and the baby would be "deformed." That got my dander up. My protective mama instincts jumped to full speed ahead.

And then our first ultrasound showed that our daughter had a soft marker for Down Syndrome. And all of the sudden, my heart was filled with SUCH love for this baby. Maybe it was the pressure to abort, even though it was only one marker and all the tests weren't done yet. Maybe it was the idea that this kid would need me more than any other.

However, the marker went away and my daughter was born without Down Syndrome. In fact, she's almost 5 now and she scores very high on IQ tests. She's not only brilliant, she funny, charismatic, compassionate, energetic. She's not perfect -- she gets into her share of scrapes -- but life is SO much better with her in it.

We're still living from paycheck to paycheck. Who cares? We came up with the money for diapers. I nursed her so that was free for a long time, but she pretty much skipped over baby food and went straight to eating our stuff, mashed up soft. I didn't get a full night's sleep for a long while, but I do now, and it's okay.

This isn't as bad as you think it's going to be. This child was conceived IN LOVE. This child will bring MORE LOVE into your home and into your life. Everything is going to be more than fine -- it's going to be amazing.

I'm praying for you.

If I was a christian i would say that yes, it is wrong! you are praying for a baby to be killed! how can you think that that is right and abortion is wrong?

you are better off getting an abortion. then you are 100% sure you are not having a baby.

Celestial abortion is definitely better than human-induced abortion. Less guilt involved.

Most abortions are performed by God, by the way. Interesting thought that he might disagree with abortion, don't you think?

Yes. Children are a blessing from God.

Psalm 127:3 "Lo, children are an heritage of the Lord: and the fruit of the womb is His reward."

Deu 7:13 And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee: he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

With Today's world-wide overpopulation, not at all.

Whatever works. You know what they say:

"God helps those who help themselves."

yes.....dont do that....adoption is possible

Please consider adoption.
