Good morning, Father. We have started another cycle of the baby stuff. Regardless of the outcome, this will be our last attempt at this. We can't keep going through this with an ever-decreasing chance of success. I still believe You mean us to be parents, so I very much hope that You bless this attempt and bring us a baby. We know that we are just going through the motions with the doctors, the tests, the pills, and the injections. In the end, it all comes down to You and Your will. I hope Your will is for this to be the time.
I know we could endure more obstacles down the road, but I also know that You can and will get us through them all. We are ready to enjoy Your blessings. We are ready to give our love to a little baby. To see You in everything and be in awe at what You've given us. We are ready. We've made the nest, and now we wait for You to fill it. Please give us a baby. And please remove all of the complications that could arise in the process. Keep my wife safe, because I don't want to do this without her, and I don't want her to miss the harvest.
We have waited so long; sometimes with patience, sometimes without. We have endured sorrow and pain; loss. We have seen our faith in the fullness, and we have seen it waver down to almost nothing. We have walked; we have crawled; we have laid in a heap crying. But here we sit; still praying to You, still trusting You, still believing in You. Please reward our faith. Please give us a baby, not sometime, but now.
"Now the Lord was gracious to Sarah as he had said, and the Lord did for Sarah what he had promised. Sarah became pregnant and bore a son to Abraham in his old age, at the very time God had promised him." Genesis 21:1-2 NIV
