That HE knows why we can't have a baby
That I hate hormonal B.C. but I have no choice
That the IUD failed last time
That HE is responsible for my health
That I work very hard
That our income isn't stable
That we have done everything in our means
That HE should take charge
That I have to lose weight
That I am always stressed out
That I have no time for myself
That HE should show me a better way
That my heart sinks to see my kids issues
That I run from psychiatrist to therapist
That I'm exhausted
That I need meaning purpose and help

At the seder I read the hagada's account of a colossal geula and hoped that Hashem would redeem my humble little family from our difficulties.

May we all this Pesach gain the FREEDOM to accept with an open heart and mind the perfect life which has been constructed for us so we can we stop instrumentalising everyone and everything around us and stop telling G-d how to run His world.

We can beg Hashem to change situations in our lives....we are not telling Him how to run His world. Accepting that Hashem orchestrates our lives doesn't mean we can't daven for changes.

I was in a similar situation, in terms of I was not happy with my b.c., I didn't want to be a nidda for 6 months on the IUD, I was the last year of my degree which had taken me long enough, I was struggling in my job at the time, our finances were shaky. My eldest was getting special education services and my 2nd was entering his terrible 2s which hasnt ended several years later. It was NOT the best time for a baby, but you know what, I had an easy pregnancy, easy labor, went back to work and school after 5 weeks, graduated, got a job. She was such a good infant, good baby and she's a pleasure child. She brings me such joy that I don't know what I would do without her. I hope you find such joy from your future child.

I'm not telling God how to run HIS world
I was just telling HIM my side of things

What's your track record?
I understand you because
Not very long ago
I was in darker places
I had to have proof
Before I believed
Before I prayed
Before I spoke to God
This holiday
Is one of Emunah
So I figured I'll believe
For the sake of believing
I'll speak to God
For the sake of speaking to God
It didn't hurt me
We're good

Good for you. We are supposed to speak to Hashem, and to daven for what we want and need. And to thank Him for the good in our lives. Hashem gave us tefila for a reason.

I think this is a worthy goal. But I also think OP is on to something. I've heard that the seder is an auspicious time to daven, I.e. talk to Hashem, at different points: Before Ma Nishtana, where many hagados say, "vekan habein shoel" and at the word "vanizak."
OP, I hope this was cathartic and may Hashem be memaleh kol mishalos libchem for the obvious tova, soon! And I say this to everyone reading, too.

Aw, cmon. I'm sure it wasn't completely. I'm not going to stalk you but I bet I could dig up some insightful and meaningful posts here over the last few weeks.

To be perfectly honest I spoke to God while I was getting dressed for the Seder and then whenever I had a tiny moment.
I think you mentioned that you had a few little kids I am not sure if I would be able to articulate any prayer in your situation.
If you remember to say shema and berachos you're a hero.
