Prayers for a Friend

Hey, friends! Sorry it has been so long since I've written, but with the holidays and traveling, I haven't had time to sit down and actually write.  I was hoping I could ask you to please pray for one of my friends and her husband.  

They have been struggling with infertility for the past two years and have been going through infertility treatments for awhile now.  They struggle with the why, they get upset that things aren't going in the right directions, and they lose hope that things will ever work out for them.  As I watch them go through this, I can't help but hurt right alongside them because I remember being in their shoes. I remember the countless medications. I remember the countless negative tests. I remember the hurt, the pain, and the hours of crying.  It sucks, but I remember... I know they are going to be wonderful parents because of their passion for life and love of each other, and I wish I could take away their pain, but I can't.  All I can do is pray, offer up words of encouragement when they need them, listen, and empathize with what they are going through.  It is so hard to understand God's plan and why things happen the way they do, but I firmly believe He has an ultimate plan for all of us, and even though we don't understand the plan, it is there and it will all work out. 

If you wouldn't mind, could you please say a prayer and ask God to fill their hearts with peace?  There are so many unknowns in the infertility world, but once we have peace in our hearts, things start to feel a little better. I also ask that you pray for prayers of strength for them.  It is hard not to get discouraged and give up, but because they are stubborn and strong-willed, I know they will continue the fight and be blessed with a child one way or another.  Thank you for your prayers and listening ears because they really do help.  You are all so great and I am thankful to have you in my life.  

Until next time... God bless!
