All my life I've believed in God although the world's temptations and distractions have gotten the best of me. I've put myself through what I view as "spiritual whiplash", focusing my attention completely on God for a certain amount of time then to completely shifting my focus to men, partying, shopping etc. I've usually always been able to bounce back to God through my mother redirecting my attention to God when I get lost in my own selfish desires, however this time I have messed up extensively. My father committed suicide when I was 12 and my sisters and I have lived with that and formed it into an excuse almost as to why we lash out and do bad things from time to time. However, now my older sister (18) and myself (17) both are pregnant and keeping our babies. My sister is in an abusive relationship with the father of her child who doesn't seem to care much about the child but is more concerned about doing whatever it takes to keep my sister around, although he treats her very poorly. FE; hits her, stopped the car on a dime on the highway, calls her the C word. Yet, he is in favor of her keeping her child, mainly to keep her around. In my situation, my ex boyfriend wants nothing to do with me or the child. At first he seemed in shock and nervous but open to keeping it or abortion up until he shared the news with his family. His main influence is his older brother who recently just got out of prison after being there for 10 years. His brother is in his ear telling him to act like he hates me and make my life hell so that I miss him and do whatever it takes to be with him...(abort the child). His brother offers him alcohol everyday to help him get over the stress and not think about me or the baby. I see this baby as a life. I refuse to get up on that table and terminate my own flesh and blood. It is against everything I believe in and he tells me everyday I'm being selfish for ruining his life and bringing a baby into a bad world (one where I can't give it everything it needs and one where it will be without it's father.) I ask for prayer that the voice of Satan coming out of his brother would be silenced and driven back to hell and stay there and that the father of my baby will open his eyes and take responsibility. I also ask for prayer that God will help me get through this with a positive outlook to then make me a stronger individual. I feel so alone and confused and need God to really give me clarity and understanding. I'm trying to not live by my own understanding but trust God everyday that his will will be done. I ask for prayer for my sister to get out of the abusive relationship she's in. Any form of prayer would be extremely beneficial and proactive. With God, I know all things are possible and I want to prove to all of those doubting me that I can take even the hardest situation and turn it into something beautiful with God as my rock. Thank you in advance if you took the time to reach out and pray for my family and current situation. God bless.

What your father did was selfish, and I'm sorry you and your family had to go through such a trial.
He must have been weak.

But you my dear sound strong! Do you have a church family for support and direction?
You should not give yourself away so easy, that is why you should wait till marriage.
Marriage is how you know the guy shows commitment and value to the relationship.
If they love and value you, they will wait until the wedding night.
God put these rules in place for a reason...we serve a wise and awesome God.

I will pray for you and your sister and your circumstances.
God be with you all...in His Love, Shekaniah

Thank you all for your feedback and prayers. Although the situation hasn't changed much thus far my mind set has been a lot more positive and peaceful. Your compassion and time really goes a long way.

you are not alone, we are all family here. Also know this. God, doesn't always answer prayers as we want them to be answered. He see's the big picture. You having a much more positive outlook and peace of mind IS a big change and I thank God for it. Day after day, keep God your first thought of the day, and last thought at night. Strive to keep Him in your thoughts all throughout the day, especially when you get any alone time, stop, smile and say thank you. Dwell in that love. We are all praying for you. God has you in His hands, that's why you're here. He brought you to your family. :)
