I have been very open about our struggle to become pregnant and while I realize there are people that have struggled for much longer and/or have more difficult situations; I like to share my story because of the impact that it had on my spiritual life.
After long months of struggle and discouragement, God showed me through his word and many people around me that He wanted me to surrender my “perceived control” with true sincerity.
He opened my eyes and showed me that all my attempts to "plan a pregnancy" and “get pregnant” were really my efforts to fight back God's will, instead of letting him work in my life. He alone is the giver of life and we humans cannot change that.
After this realization, I had a peace that I had not experienced in many months. I rested in the fact that God the creator of the universe was taking care of "my case" personally, I knew He loved me and trusted him on this matter for the first time. I huge weight was lifted off my shoulder and things started looking up!
Here are two verses that encouraged me during this time:
Psalm 77:13-14
Your ways, O God, are holy; What God is so great as our God? You are the God who performs miracles. You display your power among the peoples […] my times are in your hands.
Psalm 121:1 - 2
I lift up my eyes to the hills where does my help come from? My help comes from the LORD, the Maker of heaven and earth.
