Left Behind

Dear Lord,

Thank you for making promises and being consistent in keeping them. You promise that all things work together for good for those who love You and are called according to Your purpose (Romans 8:28). We trust You in that; give us faith to trust You more.

Last night was hard because we learned of another couple who is pregnant. These friends started trying to start a family when we did and could relate to our situation. We are happy for them, but I couldn't help crying. We don't know exactly why you have chosen not to give us a baby at this time, but will trust You and try to learn from the experience.

Please bless the many pregnancies around us and the new families. Help us to be joyful with our friends.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen

Blessings Are Undeserved

Dear Lord,

We know that You open and close wombs. You create each life and take it away at the right time. If You see fit, please bless us with children. We know we don't deserve a baby, but we know that every blessing comes from You and that they are ALL undeserved. Give us grace to wait and contentment in the meantime.

In Jesus' Name,

Amen

A Prayer for Guidance

Dear Lord, 

We REALLY would love to have a baby. Soon. We trust in Your timing and Your plan. Thank you for having a master plan that is better than we could dream. 

Please help the doctors identify any problems if/when we go in. We know that You ultimately open and close the womb, so will wait eagerly for that day.
In Jesus' Name,

Amen
