A Prayer for the Woman Longing to Become a Mother

Springtime is a beautiful reminder of new life blooming after a harsh winter. Mother’s Day may be a reminder for some women longing for new life within their wombs. Each month seems to be disappointment after disappointment when it’s another negative pregnancy test. God allows for disappointment to happen in our lives. All things come (or don’t come) to cultivate the fruit of the Spirit in us. Whether we were expecting them to happen or not, they conform us to the image of Christ. When we are disappointed, we have the opportunity to praise God no matter what. He is worthy of our praise and thanksgiving, even in the midst of our questions and sorrow. In His sovereign providence, we can trust He works all things for good for those who love Him and are called according to His purposes (Romans 8:28). Nothing is coincidence or happenstance; God is sovereign and in control of every detail, guiding our steps, and near when we are brokenhearted.  Let's pray.
