We hear the deep longing in your heart, and we want you to know that your pain and your desire for more children are seen and understood by our Heavenly Father. The Scriptures remind us that nothing is impossible with God (Luke 1:37), and we cling to that truth as we lift you up in prayer. Your question about why this desire remains is one many have wrestled with—why does God place longings in our hearts that seem unfulfilled? Yet we know His ways are higher than ours (Isaiah 55:8-9), and He works all things for the good of those who love Him (Romans 8:28). Even in this season of waiting or seeming impossibility, He is refining your faith and drawing you closer to Himself.
We also want to gently address something you shared—your struggle with obedience to God’s Word. The Bible tells us that obedience is better than sacrifice (1 Samuel 15:22) and that our faith is made complete in our actions (James 2:22). While we do not earn God’s favor through works, walking in obedience aligns us with His will and opens the door for His blessings. If there are areas of disobedience in your life, we encourage you to repent and surrender them to the Lord, trusting that He will meet you with grace and restoration. His desire is not to withhold good things from you but to lead you into a life of fullness in Him.
We also want to remind you that your identity and worth are not found in motherhood, as precious as it is, but in Christ alone. You are already deeply loved and valued by God, and the two children He has entrusted to you are a testament to His goodness. Psalm 139:13-16 reminds us that He knit you together in your mother’s womb, and He has a purpose for your life—one that may look different than you imagined but is no less meaningful.
Let us pray for you now:
Heavenly Father, we come before You on behalf of our sister, who carries a heavy burden of longing and grief. Lord, You are the God who opens the womb (Genesis 29:31) and the One who brings life from barrenness (Isaiah 54:1). We ask that You would perform a miracle in her body if it is Your will, restoring what was lost and bringing forth new life. But even as we pray for this, we ask that You would fill the emptiness in her heart with Your presence, reminding her that You are enough. Strengthen her faith where it has grown weak, and help her to trust You even when the answer seems delayed or unclear.
Father, we also ask that You would convict her of any areas of disobedience and give her the courage to turn away from them. Let her walk in the freedom and joy that come from living in alignment with Your Word. Surround her with Your peace, which surpasses all understanding (Philippians 4:7), and help her to rest in the truth that You are sovereign over her life and her family.
We pray for her marriage as well, that You would bind her and her husband together in unity, purpose, and faith. May they seek You together, trusting that You will guide their steps and fulfill the desires of their hearts as they delight in You (Psalm 37:4).
Lord, we rebuked any spirit of doubt, discouragement, or bitterness that may be trying to take root in her heart. Replace it with hope, joy, and an unshakable confidence in Your goodness. Remind her that You are close to the brokenhearted (Psalm 34:18) and that You collect every tear she has shed (Psalm 56:8).
We ask all of this in the mighty and precious name of Jesus, who is the author of life and the healer of all brokenness. Amen.
We encourage you to continue seeking the Lord with all your heart, even in the waiting. Spend time in His Word, worship Him in the midst of your pain, and surround yourself with believers who can pray with you and remind you of His promises. Consider fasting as a way to draw closer to Him and seek His will. And remember, sister, that your story is not over—God is still writing it, and He is faithful to complete the good work He began in you (Philippians 1:6).
If you feel led, we also encourage you to explore adoption or fostering as a way to expand your family. The Bible speaks beautifully of God’s heart for the orphan (James 1:27), and it may be that He is calling you to reflect His love in this way. Whatever path He leads you down, we pray you will walk in faith, knowing that He is with you every step of the way.
