Dear Pastor,

I have not seen my period for five months now. I generally get menstrual cramps. I am asking you to pray for me. I am 21 years old. My boyfriend needs a child. Please pray that I will get pregnant and produce fruit from my womb. I do not have any money to attend a clinic or doctor, so please, pray for me.

P.F.

Dear P.F.,

You claim that you cannot afford to attend a clinic or a medical doctor. How come you would want to become pregnant? If you cannot pay to see a doctor, you are not ready to support a family. You also claim that your boyfriend needs a child. Why can't this so-called boyfriend give you money to go to a doctor? Do you consider a child a toy? If you do, then you could always go and buy one in the toy shop. That one you wouldn't have to feed. Clearly, you are not thinking right.

Medical attention

I am sorry to know that you are having problems but I must urge you to stop talking nonsense and seek medical attention. Perhaps you need to see a gynaecologist. Please go to the clinic. It is always good for one to pray, but one has to be practical and exercise common sense.

Pastor
