Freed from Phobia of Having Another Child

I had a phobia of having another baby after my second child was born. At that time, my husband was traveling a lot because of work, and I had to take care of my 3-year-old and the baby by myself. My husband hardly spent time with the newborn.

For 2 years, I was so stressed with my work, and worried about my family’s financial needs and how to best take care of my 2 children. Every day after work, I had to pick them up from the baby sitter and head home to do household chores. When my husband wanted to have more children, I was afraid. The anxiety of having another child affected my sleep and marriage.

In early 2017, I started to follow Pastor Prince’s ministry and listen to his sermons daily. My life began to change as I kept hearing and hearing God’s Word. I started to change my mind and believe that the Lord will deliver me from my fears and provide for me as long as I rest in Him. I believed that if I were to have another baby, my experience would not be the same as before. I decided to have a third baby after 6 years. One night, I told God that I was ready and I soon got pregnant.

Throughout the pregnancy, I kept listening to Pastor Prince’s sermons. I also finished reading 3 of his books. I even had time to read the Bible despite working during day and doing household chores at night. When there were challenges, I just let go and let God supply all my needs.

I was anxious when the delivery date was drawing close. Then I came across Pastor Prince’s sermon, Worship with the Psalms of David. The moment Pastor Prince ministered in song, my tears flowed and it felt like all my fears were flowing out of my heart. I received his prayer for supernatural childbirth and a healthy and quality baby. That night, I had a very good sleep.

A few days later the baby was due for delivery and when the contractions came, I kept meditating on “rest in Jesus as His yoke is easy.” That reduced the pain and the whole delivery was smooth. When I look at my baby, I’m reminded of Jesus’ faithfulness. All my fears are gone. I have been set free and I no longer blame my husband for the hard time I faced alone. Thank God for the grace message!
