Delayed Fertility
We get it. You've prayed for months, or years for those two little lines on a pregnancy test and they've all come back negative. Where is God in this pain? Is God ever going to answer the prayers you pray to grow your family? Join the community that clings to this verse:

“He’s Found in the Wait”
So, I did what I hadn’t done this whole time. I pushed in, I stepped out and prayed boldly, I worshiped, even when it was too painful, I fought to climb this mountain in the desert, and I was determined to find purpose in this season. And the beauty of all of this is God met me right here in my wilderness.

"Streams in the Wasteland"
