Selfish or not?

Question

Is it selfish to pray for a girl? I have two boys and I have always wanted a mini me. I have been praying for a year before I just took my iud out a couple weeks ago and still praying for a girl. Is that bad? I know God knows whether or not I pray for her.

Answer

No my husband and I have 4 girls and we are expecting in Jan. We have always prayed God's will on all things. However the bible says you have not because u ask not. So we have changed our prayers to: Lord we desire a little boy and if it be ur will please allow us to have one this time. This will be our last child. We have a 17, 16, 11year, and 11month old. God wants us to have the desires of our heart. And yes He is still so good even when our desires don't match up with His grand plan. Paradise still awaits. God bless you and I will be praying for your journey.

Answer

Hi!
I don’t think it’s bad at all! One of the promises God makes in His word is that if we delight ourselves in Him He will give us the desires of our heart. Psalm 37:4
I believe He placed that desire for a daughter in your heart for a reason; not to dangle it in front of you and withhold it, but to fulfill it and show Himself as the faithful God He is🙌🏼I too am praying for a daughter and I keep standing on God’s word and promises. I believe and am praying that one day we will both be able to say “Blessed is she who believed the Lord would fulfill His promise to her!” Luke 1:45 ;as we are holding our daughter in our arms❤️
