A prayer for the medical staff working with infertile couples

This post filled me with goosebumps and awe of how much God cares about the details. I pray this gives clarity, courage, and strength to others today. (The author of this post wished to remain anonymous.)

I want to take some dedicated time to truly thank each infertile couples’ family and friends. Anyone that is connected to someone dealing with infertility can tell that it isn’t an easy trial to go through. But those family and friends that walk through it with the couple, they feel it and grieve it in their own way too.

To those who have adopted or are considering adoption, I think it is fascinating to realize that you were adopted as well. If you are a child of God, then you were adopted the moment you said yes to a relationship with Jesus. You are a chosen child of God. Wow! What a thought.

A praise to the Lord for our own adoption. Life has purpose and we have much to be grateful for.

Have you ever had the passion of saving a life? Has abortion been a heavy burden on your heart? This may be the opportunity God desires for you. Perhaps He’s been planting this seed all along. There’s always a reason for the things you are passionate about. This fertility option is one that allows you to not only hopefully make a life but to save one or more as well.

Over the past few months, the Lord has been nudging at me to be more vulnerable and more open about what He has been teaching me, especially through our journey with infertility. My prayer through writing this is that the Lord uses what He has laid on my heart to connect with you; to show you that you are not alone in your thoughts and that your feelings are known and understood.

We discovered Zechariah, from the tribe of the Levites of Israel last week. Now let’s explore his wife Elizabeth. Both of their stories are important and knit together.

What we cannot see in the present can leave room for doubt and questioning of God’s purpose for us. However, when we can set all of that aside, we can be assured that God is building our character for something great.

It’s time to pause in our quest for children and thank the Lord for our own lives.
