The Process, The Promise :: 31 Days of Infertility Prayers

31 Days of Infertility Prayers ????

A few weeks ago The Lord gave me a vision to write a series of infertility prayers. I share them on Twitter and Facebook and have prayed about compiling them in a real talk devotional. I’m not a minister or preacher. I am a woman and lover of God. I am a daughter, sister, friend, aunt, wife, stepmother, godmother….mother. I’m an encourager. I lived infertility. I explored her complexities, engaged in heated debates and heart to hearts. I stood toe to toe with her in the ring of fire called birth. We have history.

This month I stepped into a leadership position with the (in)courage community group THRIVE. It’s rekindled my passion for the hearts of women facing the faith-shattering battle of infertility. The women inspire me. Although I’ve done my time in the trenches I feel compelled to stand with them at the front line. I’ll write, whisper and shout words of encouragement. I will pray.

During the month of October I’ll “write the vision and make it plain” as I join The Nester for 31 days of journaling, processing, and praying. I started my blog with this topic and have since, explored other areas that touch my heart as a modern Christian woman. Honestly, I struggle sometimes with whether or not I can sustain a blog about infertility. It’s a specific topic with a small pool of viewers. But I know you’re out there. I saw you. I see you. My heart holds a place for you and for you, I write. I scribble notes of hope on tear-stained walls. Inscribe His message of love on the palm of your hand. Because you have to know. You’ve got to know. You. Are. Loved. You have not been forgotten.

This is the first post in the series The Process, The Promise :: 31 Days of Infertility Prayers. It is inspired by and written as encouragement for women facing infertility – but the essence of these reflections can be applied to other areas of life. They are universal truths. Use them. Share them. I’ll add a new post everyday.
