Provide I don't know of a good devotional, but when I was ttc I kind of did my own if you want to put it that way. I actually started journaling to my child. It was very therapeutic in that I was able to recall all the blessings God had given us in this time, but it is something that I will also be able to share with him when he is older. I still journal to him sharing all the big moments and blessings. And it really helped and still does help get me through rough times as I'm able to reflect on all of God's goodness!

Ok....my "not true" was #3. My parents own a hobby farm, not myself. LOL I speak 4 languages, french, English, Gaelic, and ASL. I was a plus size pin up model for 4 years. And I was a hairstylist for 7 years before my wrist gave out.

Hey ladies, wanna do me a favor and keep me in your thoughts? I am having one of those horrible doubting and fearful days again today. It's like the devil gets into my thoughts and taunts me saying things like "You will never keep this baby", and "If it happened to her, it will happen to you." I find myself so full of fear and worry that I can hardly stand it. It's the worst feeling imaginable.

 

[No Doubt]

Give, one phrase....The devil is a liar! Don't allow him to steal your joy and make you doubt a blessing that God has given you. Lord protect our sister's heart and mind against any thoughts and emotions that are not of You. Allow her to tap into her faith and seek You first when these thoughts and feelings arise. Amen.

I'm subscribed to Sarah's Laughter, in which I post those devotionals Mon-Fri.

I also read one called "Jesus Calling" By Sarah Young.

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. 2 Timothy 1:7

Praying for you sis!

“Yet those who wait for the LORD will gain new strength;”
Isaiah 40:31

Wow! You knew waiting was hard work, but I bet you didn’t know what all was involved, did you?

Over the past week, we’ve looked at how to wait as God instructs us. We’ve learned that waiting is not passive at all. It involves straining your mind toward God with an expectant attitude. Directing your thoughts toward God and expecting that He hears you and is working on your behalf is all a part of the wait. Today we’ll look at one more aspect of waiting: looking ahead.

“A straining of the mind in a certain direction with an expectant
attitude…a forward look with assurance.”

…a forward look with assurance. Look forward. Don’t look behind at failed cycles, or beat yourself up because you aren’t handling things as well as you once did. The next pregnancy will be a brand new pregnancy—not the same pregnancy that ended in loss. Look forward with assurance.

Philippians 3:13 “Forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.”

Don’t worry about the past. You cannot change it. Look forward to what lies ahead and press on.

You never knew there was so much work involved in waiting, did you? I’ll bet you thought you were a pro at waiting. God promises renewed strength, endurance and courage to keep on going when you wait.

I encourage you to wait on the Lord and find this new strength He promises. He is faithful to His Word and faithful to you.

-Beth Forbus
