For the Lord will comfort Zion
He will comfort all her waste places
He will make her wilderness like Eden,
And her desert like the garden of the Lord
Joy and gladness will be found in it,
Thanksgiving and the voice of melody
Isaiah 51:3
He will comfort all her waste places
He will make her wilderness like Eden,
And her desert like the garden of the Lord
Joy and gladness will be found in it,
Thanksgiving and the voice of melody
Isaiah 51:3
I just finished writing up an interview I had with Lesli Westfall, a woman who has an online Christian ministry for women struggling with infertility. Dancing Upon Barren Land--Spiritual Nourishment for the Infertility Road has the mission to "inspire belief through Jesus Christ that there is an expected end to the road of barrenness. The monthly disappointments can be turned into God appointments, bringing joy and peace along the journey, as well as offering tools to family members, friends and ministry leaders to support the fertility-challenged, the women traveling to the destination of motherhood".
The site has some great scriptural prayers that address some of the same issues that can crop up when in a desert experience of any kind. Fear, anger, jealousy/envy, disappointment, needing direction, feeling anxious, feeling like God has forgotten you...Though the prayers specifically use the word "fertility" you can easily exchange for words that address your own personal issue.
The site is beautiful, so stop by and take a look. And if you know someone who could benefit from what is offered, please pass the info along.

So many these days have trouble with infertility. My brother and his wife did too.
