How do I help my wife deal with an unwanted pregnancy?

Brother I am going to share my experience with you and pray that it helps.

My wife and I now have 4 kids. When my wife told me she was pregnant she followed it up with she was going to get an abortion. She also sobbed in secret, and in front of me. I told her I cant support her position as I believe abortion is murder. She begged me to give her my ok. I told her if she did it it would end our relationship.

I told her God would not give us more than we can handle. I assured her God would stand by us and with us and see to it we were provided for so we could provide for the new addition to our family. Needless to say she didnt believe me. My wife doesnt share the same walk I do even tho she has seen at least 1 miraculous healing and knows of the others I have had. She has witnessed such a miracle that it left medical science without answers and speechless. I wait for God to soften her heart to the truth as He has mine.

I stuck close to God on this and trusted Him to help me, I reached out to the prayer squad and had everyone pray for the child growing in my wifes womb. I asked for prayer for her to realize the truth of the blessing that this child would be, I asked for prayer for joy to enter my wife. One Sunday I woke up and satnext to her on the couch, she asked me again about the abortion. I told her I cant and wont support it, that I love her and and I hoped she understood my feelings. I then got off the couch and went to bed again.

Thats when God stepped in and does only what God can do. My wife went to the bathroom and then came to the bedroom and told me while she was doing her business she cried and made an agreement with God that she wont kill this baby but asked this be the last one. She came and told me this and I just praised God for His goodness and for helping my family thru this. Then a few months later I got a raise at work during a pandemic that made it possible for me to take care of the whole family with just my check as my wife lost her stay at home job she was doing. I looked at my wife and said "see I told you God would take care of us and would provide means for us to take care of or new kiddo coming".

I say all this to say that if you stay close to God on this, reach out for payer, stay true to your Abba Father and trust in Him that all will be ok. For as the flowers of the field and the birds of the air are taken care of how much more so will He do for us? I will pray for you brother, for you and your family.

God bless you and yours and may the grace of our God be with you always!
