"Trying Again" After Miscarriage & Pregnancy Lossਨਮੂਨਾ

Day III: Words of Encouragement & Prayer

My Partner Began to Encourage Me

My partner was shocked I felt this way. He knew what I had been through in the past, but it surprised him what I said. My partner has never heard me talk about God in that manner. He was empathetic but also reminded me of who God is in our lives and what the Word said about God. Lesson? Speak with a person of faith about your fear. This is imperative when you have thoughts or feelings in this manner. You need someone to remind you of who God is, what the Word says about God, and what God has already done in your life. They also need to pray for you in faith.

I Prayed For Myself

Even though I felt this way, I knew I had to at least try and pray about it. I asked God to help me with my fears and disbelief. To comfort me. Heal me. Help me to try again one day. Help me to have peace and total trust in Him despite all that happened. To trust that what happened had a purpose has nothing to do with what He will do in the future and that no matter how I feel about it, it worked out for my good and His glory.

Reflection: Who can you go to for encouragement during this season? Who can you trust? Who will give words of encouragement versus doubt? What can you write to speak to yourself daily for encouragement? What scriptures would help you?
