Perfect Timing from God and a Prayer

We all face rough times.  We all want more than God has already given us. Why is it so hard to be content with our life?  We have to trust God will give us all we desire in his time.  God has perfect timing.  He always shows up when you need him. I have had a pretty tough couple weeks. I just had another miscarriage. This makes the second one in a year. However, my Faith it strong. I have had a rough couple of days and have not felt like blogging. BUT.....I want to blog and spread the word of Jesus. I want to share my story to maybe help or touch someone else's life. So, I have sat here for the past hour thinking what to write about and I found this letter, tucked in my Bible, from my brother in law. He wrote it to us over a year ago.

A Prayer for The Conception of a Child:

Lord, help me to know that You are enough. 

Take my eyes off of myself.

Take my eyes off of the child I desire.

Help me to delight myself in You.

Mold the desires of my heart to be in line with Your will.

I don't want to need to be a mother or father more than I need to be your humble, obedient child. 

I don't want wanting to have a baby to be a stumbling block between You and me. 

Lord, I want to give this desire, this drive, this ache up to YOU.

Help me not to snatch it back as I so often do with the burdens I place in Your hands.

Help me to be truly content with Your will and Your timing. 

Lord, You know that I still desire a baby-someone to mold, teach, train, shape, guide, and help to grow in You. But until the day You give me that joyous blessing, help me to grow in You. 

Let me reach out to those around me. 

Let me witness and minister to the children You place in my path. 

Lord, if adoption is the path You would have us take, prepare our hearts, and prepare the child who will share our home. If adoption if not Your will for our lives, keep me from pushing ahead of Your plan. 

Help me to stay submitted to my husband's will, and to Your will. 

If we are headed in the wrong direction, change our hearts. 

Thank you for lifting my burden. Help me to keep You first !! Let me seek Your face daily, and let me know that You are enough. 

God is always in control and we must not forget that. He can give and he can take away. I think the heartache we go through is to remind us he is in control and we have to rely on him. We should not push away from his plan. He always has a plan. AMEN !!
