I am sorry to hear of your trauma, I hope you are getting support, being raped is a terrible crime against you and then to find yourself pregnant. So very hard. But, the good news is yes, of course you can forgive your rapist, just as God forgave you. But you will only do this through the power of the Holy Spirit, given to you when you were born again, accepting Christ Jesus as your saviour. As for naming your precious child after your rapist? I am not sure you are called to do this...unless you have been raped by your husband? This descion is a difficult one and the repercussions need to be prayerfully thought through. I hope you are able to access loving support at this time, you and your child are so very loved by your heavenly Father. God Bless you. <><
Yes sister, it is possible to forgive, but it won't be easy. Your desire to forgive and your attempts to forgive will not go unnoticed by God. Pray for His help and He will help you with forgiving this person. I don't think that naming the child after the rapist is a good idea, but that is up to you.
Here is a verse which might be helpful to you:
"Hear me, LORD, and have mercy on me. Help me, O LORD." - (Psalm 30:10)
God bless.

I agree, we are called to forgive. Though I have had to forgive tough things I haven't walked in your shoes. Still, forgive since you asked. Kinda unusual to name the child after the rapist....don't you think? A rape is being a unwilling participant in a violation of your body. Normally very violent event that is said to traumatize the victim.
The naming of one's child is the first significant identity that they receive from you. If you do some research, it's vital in how they grow up and how the world perceives them. You should select Wisely. God Bless

Dear taasha,
You live in Kenya right? I went to your bio because my heart was aching about what you said and I wanted to see what country your from. I also noticed your bio says your not married and you joined 6 days ago. I am confused as to what is going on. I will pray for you because something very bad must be going on.
Dear Father God,
We ask that taasha know Christ. That in order for her to be saved she must believe and understand what Jesus did for us. That he was God in the flesh who was born of the virgin Mary who God sent to die a sinners death on the cross. He took her sin and ours and allowed himself to be crucified so that we, the world, for all who believe would be righteous again in front of God. Nothing she has done or will ever do will be sufficient for God. Nothing but repenting of her own sins to God and asking Jesus to come into her heart and live there. She needs love and we would ask that you give her peace that passes all understanding to her. That you give her strength to do what she couldn't do before to ensure her safety and safety of any children. Father we ask all these things and more in Jesus name. Amen

Jeremiah 6:23
They are armed with bow and spear; they are cruel and show no mercy. They sound like the roaring sea as they ride on their horses; they come like men in battle formation to attack you, Daughter Zion.”
Jeremiah 8:16
The snorting of the enemy’s horses is heard from Dan; at the neighing of their stallions the whole land trembles. They have come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who live there.
Jeremiah 12:5
[ God’s Answer ] “If you have raced with men on foot and they have worn you out, how can you compete with horses? If you stumble in safe country, how will you manage in the thickets by the Jordan?
