Parents' Prayers Always Accompany Their Children's Life

People generally forget God when their life conditions are happy and happy. It is rare for words of gratitude to come out of his mouth when life is in a state of joy. Some of them tend to spend happy moments without even remembering God.

People remember God when they are grieving. When sadness and despair strike, when misfortunes approach, even when an event takes their joy away, then people are shocked and realize that they are far from God. Then, they just ran to God to moan, cry, and complain.

Is life really like that?

This story takes place in someone's life. Call him by the name Arlo. From a young age, Arlo was known as a person who diligently prayed. The word gratitude seemed to have stuck to his lips. Every morning, Arlo always remembers to give thanks for the new life that God has given him. When it's rainy or dry, Arlo is always grateful for it.

After getting married and having a son, Arlo takes care of and cares for the baby with great affection. Until his son turns 5 years old, Arlo plans to have more children. He said the plan to add children to his wife. Apparently, his wish also became the wish of his wife.

The husband and wife pair then began to make some preparations. Starting from maintaining a diet, exercising, to doing medical examinations. Day after day passed. Tasks and work and dynamics really take a lot of time from Arlo and his wife. Until a year has passed. Their desire to have more children reminded them of when they celebrated their son's sixth birthday.

Once they woke up, the two of them went back to doing the same series of preparations as the previous year. Maintain diet, exercise, to medical examinations. However, the result was still nil. Their desires seem far from God's plan. Without reducing their devotion to God, they continued to pray diligently. Requests and requests are always conveyed through prayer every night.

Again, work and busyness both become a big barrier to being close to God. In addition to stopping praying for a second child, Arlo and his wife have taught their son to accept the fact that he will be an only child without a sister. That belief has begun to be given to the boy so that he is not disappointed with his life condition as an only child.

Arlo and his wife need to convey it because the son still has the desire to have a sister. On several occasions, the son always asked about his younger brother. Even when asked by his grandmother and aunt, the child always said that he really wanted a sister.

Year after year passed. Arlo and his wife have given up their desire to carry their second child. Without realizing it, Arlo was far from God. He seemed to have forgotten God and abandoned all hope of believing in God's miracles. Arlo immersed himself in the routine with his work.

The eighth year of his son's age. Arlo had dreams for two days in a row. In his dream, Arlo saw himself holding two twin baby girls. Then, slowly, the two of them turned into 7 year olds. They called Arlo, "Papa."

Arlo woke up from his sleep and wondered, "What did my dream mean?" He himself did not understand God's plan. Because he thought it was just a dream, Arlo didn't think about it anymore. He went back to his routine without remembering his dreams. Until one day, Arlo's wife woke him up while showing him the results of a pregnancy test. "Which, two lines!" said the wife, smiling.

Arlo just replied to his wife's joy with an ordinary smile. He is worried that he will disappoint his wife if it turns out that the results of the pregnancy test were just a factory error and instead disappoint her like the results of the previous year's test. Arlo then told his wife to register at the hospital where the first son was born.

After undergoing two examinations, the doctor said that the embryo of the prospective child was not in the fetal pouch. The wife's uterus is healthy, the fetal pouch is also good and looks strong, but the embryo is not visible. The doctor said that it was possible that the embryo failed to grow or the medical term was "Grape Pregnancy".

Arlo and wife gasped! Especially when the doctor said that the results of the growth of the embryo and its exact condition would be clear 7 days later. If on the seventh day, the embryo is not visible and the heartbeat is not heard, then the wife must undergo medical treatment. Upon hearing the doctor's statement, Arlo and his wife were devastated. They refuse to believe that the pregnancy they have been waiting for for 8 years will just run aground.

In sadness at hearing this statement, Arlo remembered God. Arriving at home, Arlo invited his son to pray together in the prayer room. They pray for the safety of the fetus in the wife's womb so that it grows healthily. They also prayed that God would keep his wife safe. So does the wife. He did not stop getting closer to God and praying for the prospective child to be born into the world.

Every night, for 7 days, Arlo and his wife really remember God. They seem to be sitting by God's side to beg for the safety of their prospective baby. Even though they were sad and wept for their condition at that time, the husband and wife still believed that God's will would be the best for them.

On the second day since the doctor's decision, Arlo thought of his brother who is also a doctor. Arlo then contacted him for advice and opinions. In his discussion via a short message application, his brother advised Arlo to do a re-examination at the hospital where he worked. He happened to know a gynecologist.

Arlo agreed to get a second opinion from another doctor. Arlo then comforted his grieving wife. In the midst of desperation and resignation, Arlo and his wife registered themselves with a doctor who was partnered with Arlo's brother for an obstetric checkup.

Examination day came. The two of them departed accompanied by Arlo's parents and son. The four of them visited the doctor to find out the condition of his wife's womb. The doctor immediately performed an ultrasound. Without further ado, the doctor immediately said that the baby's condition was healthy! He really grew up healthy in his wife's womb. His heartbeat was also strong like a racing car engine roaring as it raced against time to the finish line.

Praise the Lord! God really hears the prayers of Arlo and his family!

Arlo was grateful for this condition by giving thanks in prayer. Arlo is increasingly convinced that God really exists and listens to every hope of his servant. Arlo is also increasingly convinced that God will be present in the lives of believers and then grants requests according to the best time for his servant. Arlo and his wife and family are grateful for this condition and are always grateful that God really loves their family

The story above is a true incident. Arlo's life really proves that every prayer that is said by everyone is always heard by God. There is no such thing as "deaf" God because he doesn't answer everyone's requests and hopes. God hears and God will surely grant everyone's request according to the best time for them. Like parents who love their children, surely they will try to provide all their children's needs by adjusting the best time for them.

Nothing is impossible for God. That's right. When people are sad, go to the prayer room. Tell all your sorrows before God. Cry to Him, beg Him, and hope in Him. Hang your hope only in God, not in others. By praying and accepting reality, everyone's life will be happier.

The story above also teaches that everyone is a prayer from their parents. Everyone is the hope of their parents. Therefore, it is better for everyone not to curse themselves when they fail. Remember, parents always pray for their children in any condition. Do not underestimate yourself, because in everyone's blood is the prayer of their parents. Love the life that parents have given and respect them because they have given the child the opportunity to live in the world.
