Praying Through Infertility: You Are Not AloneSample

[IMAGE CONTENT] # He Knows You Infertility can leave us feeling unseen and unknown. Few around us have faced its griefs, fewer still seem able to empathize, and sometimes we lack the words for all we’re experiencing, leaving us unknown even to ourselves. But the objective fact beyond all feelings to the contrary, the truth as true as the sun’s existence at nighttime, is that God knows you. He knows your pain and your longing. There is no part of what you are going through that He does not see or understand. He knows every detail and nanosecond of your existence—every atom, molecule, skin cell, and ligament; every hope, dream, sadness, and achievement. He knows you intimately, through and through. He knows every movement you will make today (Psalm 139:2–3)—every action, step, and pause for rest; every blink, glance, and breath. He knows each thought you will have—every joy, question, and concern—and every word you will speak before you speak them (v. 4). He knows your complete personality—your emotional triggers, behavioral patterns, bad habits, and comfort zones. He knows what you’re good at, bad at, tempted by, and victorious over. He can unravel the intricate workings of your heart when you remain confused. The next time you are feeling abandoned, alone, and unknowable on this difficult journey of infertility, remember that the One who made you knows you - including everything you’re going through today. Reflect: What have you found to be the most difficult aspect of infertility so far? In addition to turning to the God who is with you, is there someone trustworthy in your life you can share the burden with today? Pray: Dear God, fill me with the comfort of Your presence. Remind me that I am loved and seen by You. No one understands my life more perfectly. Grant me the peace of that knowledge. Amen.
