Good Mother-Abortion 6
Almighty Eternal God,
The curly Blonde baby angel mentioned that the babies are safe in heaven
God wants to give us women chance/choice to save ourselves
I always believed in a woman’s right to choose
Didn’t think I would ever need to have an abortion
I was married
Had a good job
Already had a one-year-old child
Our first child was a huge challenge
We both agreed to wait to have any more children
Unfortunately
We had a birth control failure
I ended up pregnant
We talked about how having a second child would affect our family
We knew it would most likely end up financially ruining us
Since I didn’t have enough time saved up at work for a paid maternity leave
We were already low on funds
We were also going through a low point in our marriage
Were concerned that adding a child to the mix would result in our marriage ending
It was one of the hardest decisions I have ever made but to this day
We both agree it was the best for us
Our family.
Please give us knowledge to know what’s best for my family
Wisdom or deep understanding to comprehend our daily activities
Perseverance to strive hard to make a change for the family
About four years after my abortion
We planned and were able to add another child to our family
He is a blessing
I am thankful I had the right to choose when I would have children
So that I could be a good mother to them in Father Christ name.
I thank You for Your forgiveness
Amen
