It’s 4 weeks until I give birth, and we’re still jobless.

I’ve prayed. I’ve begged. I’ve trusted.
And yet—silence.

Maybe you’ve been there too. Or maybe you’re there right now.
When the bills are stacking up and your heart is worn thin… when your husband is trying but no doors are opening… when you whisper a dozen prayers a day, but Heaven feels closed off and quiet.
That’s where I am. And sister, if that’s you too—I want you to know: you are not alone.

When You’re Doing Your Best to Trust God… and It Still Hurts
I’ve been trying to hold onto Philippians 4:6- “Do not be anxious about anything…”
But let’s be real. That verse is hard when you’re walking through the unknown.

God sees my swollen feet and racing mind. He knows I’m trying to rest in His Word. But I won’t pretend it’s easy. Not when I feel like I’m hanging on by a thread.
Not when I’ve prayed every prayer I know, and the answer hasn’t come.

What Do You Pray When You Feel Unheard?
Honestly? Sometimes I don’t have words.

So I just say:

“God… please. Please don’t forget us.”

And I believe He hears—even the groans, even the silence. Because His Word says He does.

If that’s you right now too, here’s a prayer to borrow:

“Lord, I feel forgotten. I keep praying and waiting, and it feels like You’re not listening. I’m scared. I’m weary. I need You to show me that You’re still with us. You know I’m about to bring this baby into the world. Please provide what we need, and help me trust You even now.”

A Long List of Scriptures for the Mama Who Feels Forgotten

You’re Not Failing. You’re Fighting in Faith.
If you’re just showing up today—feeding kids, praying weak prayers, crying in the laundry room—you’re doing holy work. God sees you. He hasn’t left. The silence isn’t rejection; it’s a setup for something good you can’t see yet.

I’m still in the waiting room. Still pregnant. Still hoping. Still praying.
And if you’re sitting in that same space—I’m sitting beside you.
Let’s believe together that God is still writing our story.
