Prayer Circles

Dear momwannabe
As I read your prayer request and asked the Lord how to pray about it the scripture came to me about Hannah.
She too wanted very much to have a child. A record of her prayer is found in 1 Samuel:10-20 & 27-28 (copied from The Living Bible).
>She was in deep anguish and was crying bitterly as she prayed to the Lord.
And she made a vow: "O Lord of heaven, if you will look down upon my sorrow and answer my prayer and give me a son, then I will give him back to you, and he'll be yours for his entire lifetime, and his hair shall never be cut."
>Eli noticed her mouth moving as she was praying silently and, hearing no sound, thought she had been drinking.
>"Must you come here drunk?" he demanded. "Throw away your bottle."
>"Oh, no, sir!" she replied, "I'm not drunk! But I am very sad and I was pouring out my heart to the Lord. Please don't think that I am just some drunken bum!"
>"In that case," Eli said, "cheer up! May the Lord of Israel grant you your petition, whatever it is!"
>"Oh, thank you, sir!" she exclaimed, and went happily back, and began to take her meals again.
>The entire family was up early the next morning and went to the Tabernacle to worship the Lord once more. Then they returned home to Ramah, and when Elekanah slept with Hannah, the Lord remembered her petition; in the process of time, a baby boy was born to her. She named him Samuel (meaning "asked of God") because as she said, "I asked the Lord for him."
>I asked him to give me this child, and he has given me my request;
>and now I am giving him to the Lord for as long as he lives." So she left him there at the Tabernacle for the Lord to use.

I believe the question here is would you be sincerely willing to give your child back to the Lord?
Not to give him away physically but spiritually by dedicating him fully to the Lord. By raising him to know Jesus Christ, The Son Of The Living God, and to be an example for this child to follow Jesus whole heartedly.
I believe that if you are willing that God will answer your prayers. God has a divine purpose for this child and for you as parents.

Father God
I ask You to hear and answer the prayers of this precious couple. You know their hearts and their desires. You also know the path that You have planned for them. Lord lead and guide them into that path and help them to always put You first in their lives. To be a living example before this child that You place in their care.
In Jesus Name I Pray. Amen.

GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS

Lord I ask you to help this couple have a baby and a healthy one so that they will experience the love of a parent to a child, so they will know the love you have for us. Help them my Lord Jesus since I know the feeling of not being able to conceibe. May you grant them their big wish.
Amen

I empathize with your desire to have a child. My husband and I have also been trying for 8 years with no success. I'll pray for you and hope you'll do the same for us. God Bless you.

Thank You for your prayers. I pray for all of us childless couples who are yearning for a baby.

I too know your burden well-- Struggling with infertility is a bitter road at times. I know in my heart that you will be blessed -- open your heart to all the possibilities that your future will have. I pray that God watches over you both as you go through this next and final IVF-

Dear Momwannabe,
Tears came to my eyes as I read your request... I am in the same situation. We have tried the IVF, only twice, because the costs are too overwhelming to continue. I haven't totally given up.... we have one frozen embryo that we can transfer, at a later date. Right now, I'm too emotionally drained to try again. I WISH I had your strength!!!! Keep trying and keep praying. Please pray for me, in return. I sometimes cry just thinking about how much it costs to try again....

Thanks theewizz and talbdozie. I keep praying for all of us on this difficult quest for a child.

AS I read your prayers my heart was touched and the word came to my spirit mark 11:23 if you can believe, all things are possible, have faith in GOD and in the name of JESUS, and he will give you the desires of your heart, because GOD sees the heart of man.GOD LOVES you and have not forgotten you.I prayer are with you and your husband that the holy spirit will over shadow you and your husband and you will bring forth your son or daughter,in the name of JESUS. GOD BLESS YOU BOTH IN THE NAME OF JESUS.......SEND ME YOUR PRAISE REPORT..AMEN

My sister has been trying to concieve for some 10 years now. I am sure she is lonely like you as she sees her other siblings and in laws get baby after baby. I pray for you and my sister Sharon, that God bless you all with lovely healthy babies and give you the strength in this period of waiting. May God give you this special Grace.

If it be Thy will, Oh Lord, please grant this couple their prayer.

Lord in the name of Jesus..I pray that you bless this coouple witha child of their own...I too am sending this prayer up for myself as well as this couple and others who want so very much to have a child...I ask that you give them a healthy happy baby......this I ask in your name Jesus...AMEN

Momwannabe-
I really would like an opportunity to speak with you personally, I am one of those women who went through fertility, and praise God, I received that blessing we all are seeking. I did look to the scripture and did find solice in Hannah's Prayer. I was willing to turn my baby over to the Father and on "Father's Day" this year I honored him with our daughter by dedicating her. She is now 3 months old and worth the long wait. I remember distinctively praying on the way to the Dr.'s office for those blood tests, asking that his will be done, and if it be that we not have a child that he give me peace and a comfort so that I may except it. Less than an hour after "turning it over" completely to him, I was told I was pregnant. If you would be interested in chating with me e-mail me at TTimandori@AOL.com, I promise to pray with you and give you all the support I am spiritually capable of. God knows your heart and your desires. God be with you always-

Dear Parents wanna be, I hope by now you are either expecting a child, but in case you are not. I would like to throw another option there. ADOPTION, there are so many children that need parents, please consider it.

momwannabe-My wife and I were not blessed with biological children. While this was heart wrenching, God knew we were good people. So He said "Stop ignoring the Adoption is an Option bumper stickers!" To make a long story short after a few very disappointing IUI treatments we said "enough is enough" and we are awaiting the arrival of a wonderful little girl from Korea. We figured a child is a child. It also helped to have guidance from many people where I work. There was a small wave of international adoption at my workplace here in the Washington DC area. Also I have heard many stories like "We adopted our child and then BOOM we got pregnant!" That happens so much more. The stress in our lives has been greatly relieved by our adopted child. I pray to God that you will get pregnant, but consider adoption. Especially international adoption. A.S.I.A. located in Silver Spring, MD is a great place to begin and they will escort your child from Korea should you decide to do it. I have walked in your shoes. Don't deny yourself God's greatest gift because your body will not cooperate. What turned me around was God saying "Do you really want to reach 60 years old and regret not adopting?" Way too much for me to handle. Again, God bless you.

Thanks for all your prayers. After 9 years of trying our 5th IVF worked. We saw a beautiful baby with a heartbeat last week. But, that was all God decided to give us. Yesterday there was no heartbeat, our baby died.

I could have dealt with a negative beta but to come this far and have it snatched away is unbearable.

I prayed everyday and asked God to stay with me this entire journey and help me bring this baby home. But, He left me midway. Every time a cycle fails, I feel like a part of me dies with it. I keep asking God why he is killing me slowly like this, why not do it at once. I had invested all my emotions, ambitions, hope and love into this baby. I feel so empty and without any purpose in life. I don't know what I am going to do anymore. I don't know what I did to deserve this much pain. We have always wanted to adopt but that door is pretty much closed to us. Unless you are US citizens you cannot bring your adopted child back with you.



Manjula

Have you ever tried to be foster parents? I have two adopted daughters (husbands biological) and have been a foster parent for 4 years.

to all I pray that god will answer your prays see I to want another baby and I know my faith will bring it to me so hold on and don't give up for God loves you and he will answer you not when we want but in his own time for God love you and will always be there for you and your husband.

LORD, I PRAY FOR THIS FAMILY IN THE TIME OF NEED. OH, HEAVENLY FATHER GRANT THEM THE DESIRES OF THEIR HEARTS, AND THAT IS TO HAVE A CHILD. WE ALL KNOW THAT IT IS NEVER TOO LATE OR YOU'LL NEVER TOO OLD TO HAVE A BABY. I PRAY THAT THIS FAMILY WILL PUT THEIR TRUST IN YOU COMPLETELY.TRUST GOD AND HE WILL PROVIDE YOU WITH THE ANSWERS. IF YOU WOULD GO INTO YOUR PRAYER CLOSET AND ASK GOD TO ALLOW YOU TO BE PATIENT THROUGH IT ALL, HE WILL DO IT FOR YOU. STAY PRAYFUL AS YOU WAIT UPON THE LORD. MY TESTIMONY IS SIMULAR TO YOURS, I HAD TO BELIEVE GOD AND ONLY GOD FOR A CHILD. I WAS NEVER PUT ON ANY ARTIFICAL MEDICAION AND I THANK GOD FOR THAT.MY FAITH WAS TESTED IN SO MANY WAYS AS A CHRISTIAN. I THANK GOD THAT I DID NOT LET SATAN STILL THE JOY THAT GOD HAD FOR ME. BY TRUSTING HIM I NOW HAVE TWO BEAUTIFUL GIRLS.PLEASE, FOCUS ON GODS WILL AND WHAT HE WANTS TO DO IN YOUR LIFE. LORD, I ASK THAT YOU COVER THIS FAMILY WITH THE BLOOD OF JESUS AND MAY YOU BLESS THEM WITH A BUNDLE OF JOY.

My husband and I have been trying to have a baby for 7 years now.We have found a new doctor who has give us a ray of hope. We are beginning a new cycle of treatment. We will be undergoing our 2nd IVF in december. Please pray that we will be successful. Please pray that we will get a chance to experience parenthood. We want so much to have a child in our lives.

We and our family have been praying for so long now. we still believe in our Almighty God that he will give us a child.

We sincerely believe that your collective prayers will help us achieve our dreams.

I pray that a child comes to you, even if you have to adopt. Maybe your meant to save a child from a bad situation, but whatever comes out I pray that it's as it is meant to be.
BlessedBe

My heart goes out to you! And most of all my prayers that God will show you His plan and that you will not stray from his loving kindness and mercy. I pray that you will keep your heart and mind open to all the possibilities. I understand the yearning and desire for a biological child...and yet we must remember, that all children are God's children. Some are placed in our bodies to grow, other's are placed in our hearts.

May you find the strength to pursue your dreams and may you have the courage to ask God to reveal all that HE has planned for you and your FAMILY.

I FEEL YOUR PAIN AS I AM UNABLE TO CONCEIVE AS WELL. THE HARDEST PART ABOUT ALL THIS IS TO ACCEPT GOD'S WILL, BUT WE MUST TAKE THIS STEP IN ORDER FOR US TO SURVIVE THIS PROCESS. DOCTORS AND SCIENCE CAN ONLY DO SO MUCH. ALLOW GOD TO DO HIS WILL IN YOUR LIFE. I ADMIRE YOUR GREAT STRENGTH AND PATIENCE TO HAVE UNDERGONE THIS PROCESS. YOU ARE AN INSPIRATION TO ALL OF US! KEEP STRONG AND PRAY FOR PEACE, PATIENCE,AND ACCEPTANCE. GOD BLESS YOU ALWAYS!

Praying for the couples who are childless that this Christmas & New year bring them all the happiness they want in their lives.

Manjula,

I pray that you feel your angels' presence and do not lash out against God/Buddha/Allah/the Universe. Too often we believe that we can choose our path in life!

Spirit has created a beautiful life for you, one that you are choosing not to live. You are focusing so much on being a mother that you are ignoring your other talents and people who love you! There is so much other love and light in the world that you can not afford to turn away from it!

Spirit, I ask that Manjula feel the light and warmth of the love inside her and turn towards her path in this lifetime. I pray that she will stop condemning herself or God for her childlessness and learn to see the childlike energy in everyone, everything.

Sarah
