I just finished reading the book "Hannah's Hope" last night and came across a really encouraging paragraph. The author titled this paragraph "Praise Amidst Brokenness." This was her prayer when feeling lost and broken with infertility.
She writes:
Lord, help me to know that You are enough. Take my eyes off myself. Take my eyes off the child I desire. Help me to delight myself in You. Mold the desires of my heart to be in line with Your will. I don't want to need to be a mother more than I need to be your humble, obedient child.
Lord, I want to give this desire, this drive, this ache up to You. Help me to not snatch it back as I so often do with burdens I place in Your hands. Help me to be truly content with Your will and Your timing.
Lord, help me to grow in You. Let me reach out to those around me. Let me witness and minister to the children You place in my path.
Lord, if adoption is the path You would have us take, prepare our hearts, and prepare the child that will share our home. If adoption is not Your will for our lives, keep me from pushing ahead of Your plan. Help me to stay submitted to my husband's will, and to Your will. If we are headed in the wrong direction, change our hearts.
Thank you for lifting my burden. Help me to keep You first. Let me seek Your face daily.
Something I found to be SO encouraging yesterday.
