Infertility Encouragement from Sarah's LaughterSample

Praying for You If you could ask anyone in the world to pray for you in regard to your infertility, who would you ask? Your pastor? A respected family member? A famous evangelist? Maybe you would choose a missionary who had led thousands of people to the Lord. What if you could go back in time? Hannah wept in endless hours of prayer over her own infertility; she’d surely know how to pray over yours. Would you ask the Apostle Paul to cry out to God on your behalf? What about John or Peter? After all, they walked with Christ. They would probably know just what to say to Him to really get His attention, wouldn’t they? If you could choose anyone from any time to pray for you in regard to your ability to have children, who would you choose? Do you realize the Holy Spirit prays for you? There are times when we simply do not know the right way to pray for ourselves. Perhaps we pray with our whole heart that God allows us to conceive, yet God’s perfect plan holds an adopted child. What if God wants us to conceive naturally, yet we pray for finances to pursue treatment? We think we know how we should pray, but we are human beings and our way of thinking can be flawed. God knows that you don’t always know exactly what to pray for, so the Holy Spirit intercedes on your behalf. The Holy Spirit is never mistaken, and He prays according to God’s perfect will for our lives. Be encouraged today that the Holy Spirit cries out for you and your desire for a baby. God knows your need and the Holy Spirit intercedes on your behalf. Keep praying. Keep pouring your heart out to God yourself. Keep listening for His voice and His guidance. He can do amazing things through your infertility as the Holy Spirit Himself intercedes for you today.
