A Heart for Moms

I am a mom. That is what people tell me. However, I am 29 years old without any children. I am a mom desiring to be a mom on my hopeful days. I am a mom desperate to be a mom on my worst days. But I am a mom praying for all the moms out there everyday.

In the past few years, God has worked through my life (and my husband’s life) in ways I do not understand. I have felt crushed in the valley, and completely loved on the mountain top. My husband and I have been through three miscarriages, dozens of blood tests and evaluations, family losses, genetic testing, and unfavorable results.

While we have struggled and prayed during this time, God has also laid on my heart the large amount of women who are struggling out there with me. Some of them have been blessed with their first little ones, and some of them are still in the valley of it all. My heart has ached for these women as they have told me their own stories. In some ways I know the pain they feel through the waiting, but in other ways I know I could never understand their own battles.

After the fifth prayer request from a mom praying to be a mom, I realized that I could be a prayer warrior for these women. I felt that God was wanting me to lift up these prayers, and let these women know that God hears their cries. Prayer can seem insignificant to some, but I know that it is an enormous blessing to have a God that desires communication. I know our God wants us to lift up our heartaches to Him. We have a God who loves us and wants relationship with us. And so I will pray, and I know He will hear.

– 1 John 5:14

“This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us.”
