Infertility is characterized by bad news. It’s bad news when we find out we have infertility issues. It’s bad news when treatments fail. It’s bad news when you lose a pregnancy. It’s bad news when you find out how much it all costs. So much bad news!
The longer I walk down this road, the harder it becomes to not be paralyzed by fear of more bad news. But the Psalms tell me that the key to not having fear is to trust steadfastly in the Lord.
Now, I know that is easier said than done- especially if it feels like He’s withholding good things from us. But the Bible reminds us that God gives us many reasons to trust Him. After all, He is…
- holy (Psalm 77:13)
- full of wisdom (Isaiah 28:29)
- the embodiment of Love (1 John 4:8)
- merciful (Luke 1:50-54)
- just (Psalm 99:4)
- righteous (Psalm 89:14)
When we meditate on these attributes of God, it makes it a little easier to trust Him. If we steadfastly focus on what we know to be true about Him, we will develop a supernatural ability to trust that what He has in store for us is good. This week, take some time to look up the verses listed above and focus on your reasons to trust Him.
Now on to the monthly round-up…
May 2014 turned out to be the blog’s busiest month yet. I’ve really enjoyed the conversations I’ve had with several readers, and I’m so blessed by all the encouraging comments I’ve received.
