I am due to have my second child in 5 or so weeks. I had severe complications after the birth of my first, and I'm very scared. My doctor is aware of my medical history and has assured me I will be watched closely. I'm still so scared of leaving my kids without a mom. The anxiety I'm feeling has even made me question my salvation. Does the fact that I don't want to die mean I'm not really a Christian? Should I be ready to die even though it means I'm leaving a four year old and newborn behind? I feel I should be excited to meet my new baby, not thinking like this. Please pray for my peace.

You are not alone in suffering from anxiety as many others do also including myself. I have prayed that God delivers you from this and gives you a sense of peace and calm. God Bless You.

Before Christ died he faced fear. Not fear of death itself, but fear of what was about to happen. He was so scared he cried tears of blood and asked God to let him get out of this. He faced it anyways.
There is what we know in our hearts, and what our minds can understand and comprehend. Because they are different doesn't mean we are not saved. It means we are human battling flesh and spirit. In other words, you're Normal!

Fear is not from God. Trust only in him and he will guide you through this. Nobody wants to die, but they shouldn't fear death. What is beyond this world is even better than we could ever imagine.. :)

Lord, Please let the peace of God, which is beyond, understanding guard her heart. Help Tiph to have complete confidence in Your ability to save and her firm decision to trust You for Your salvation. Thank You that You love her and created her with a strong will to live so she can be a great mother to her children. We pray for a healthy delivery and quick recovery. In Christ's Name, Amen.

It's going to be ok. Don't listen to the lies of the enemy. God has delivered me from the worst anxiety. God loves you. He doesn't change His mind about His children. One day loving you, next day not.

Trust in the Lord with ALL your heart, and lean NOT on your own understanding.

Congratulations on your new baby!!!

It is natural to be scared particularly as you had complications following the bith of your first child and why you wouldn't want to leave your children without a mum. This does not mean you are not saved. Your feelings are natural. Too things that come to mind is that you could be suffering from PTSD and or antinatal depression (depression before the birth of the child) seek spiritual and medical support. It may help to work through what happened last time. God will provide what ever happens. I am praying that you would be aware of God's love and that you would have His Peace.

You can't be blamed for being concerned about your health. Do what you can to promote a healthy pregnancy and stop worrying.

I suffer from anxiety also, so I know what you deal with. Just know God knows what you're going through, and He's with you even though it may feel like sometimes it will not. I pray for peace and comfort in this time.

Father God, I rebuke fear from this your child, I command it to leave her, I bind it's power to torment her, and I ask that you release the ministrying angles to minister to her as an heir of salvation, release the tension, and allow peaceful thoughts to enter your mind, whatsoever is lovely, and of a good report, think on these things, and the peace of God will be with you.

Listen to worship music, you will be amazed at the change in atomsphere. Fear is not of God, it brings torment.

It's normal to be anxious when something like this is going on. I understand the fear of leaving your children if you die. I think most parents of young kid's has felt that fear at one time. My son was only a year old when my Daughter was born, I had to have an emergency c section with him and although I had planned the c section with her I was nervous. I felt bad leaving my baby to have another baby, but it all worked out. Now they're 9and 10 and I'm still here.

Something that helps me when I'm stressed is saying the serenity prayer.

Lord I pray for Tiph and her family , please help her find peace during this time. Please allow her to feel your presence. Please be with the Doctor's and Nurse's as they help her through child birth. Please give her the peace to be able to celebrate this new life you have blessed this Earth with. I ask this in the name of Jesus, Amen.
