I've Failed...

After what seems like pregnancy test number 1,328,342....I've failed.


Still the answer is no.


Lord, please give me the strength to continue on. Give me the determination to look forward to next month. And please Lord, remind me that You never would have placed this desire in my heart if You weren't going to fulfill it..

You have NOT failed...that implies you are in control of the situation and you are not. God IS IN CONTROL and he doesn't fail...or make mistakes.

Ps. 18
"But in my distress I cried out to the LORD; yes, I prayed to my God for help. He heard me from his sanctuary; my cry reached HIS ears. Then at your command, O LORD, at the blast of your breath, the bottom of the sea could be seen, and the foundations of the earth were laid bare. He reached down from heaven and rescued me; he drew me out of deep waters."
He led me to a place of safety; He rescued me because He delights in me. The LORD rewarded me for doing right; He compensated me because of my innocence. For I have kept the ways of the LORD; I have not turned from my God to follow evil.
As for God, His way is perfect. All the LORD's promises prove true. He is a shield for all who look to him for protection. For who is God except the LORD? Who but our God is a solid rock? God arms me with strength; He has made my way safe!
He makes me as surefooted as a deer, leading me safely along the mountain heights. He prepares me for battle; He strengthens me to draw a bow of bronze. You have given me the shield of your salvation. Your right hand supports me; Your gentleness has made me great."

You haven't failed- God has big plans for your family! Trust Him!

You can't fail in this area. To say that you failed means that you are saying your body is greater than God's ability to work in it. And that is not true! I struggle with feeling like a "failure" in this area, too, so I understand. However, this is simply Satan attacking you. You are, pure and simple, do not have the right to say you failed, just like when you succeed in this area, you cannot take the glory for it.

I am praying it is soon, and that the Lord will comfort you as you wait.

Megan said...

(((HUGS))) I'm so sorry!!! But you haven't failed even though it feels that way. The answer just hasn't been 'yes' yet. I SO wish it was your time! Lots of prayers for you right now!!!

Justinand said...

Thinking of you! I'm praying for you. We are in this journey together my friend.

Lori said...

I'm sorry...I know that feeling of failure (and 1,328,342 tests!) and it's hard not to feel as if you haven't failed. It seems so easy for so many and it's so hard to understand how we really (even with technology) are not in control of the knitting of precious life within our wombs (or not...).

Praying for you in the next cycle and for peace in all that comes with it...

First of all, you have not failed as the title of this blog post says. You are trying to become a mother, and sometimes it takes time and lots of patience. The process is so mystifying and challenging, even for people who get pregnant relatively easily. When it does happen – have absolute faith that it will! – the little person you’ll have will bring you such joy and you’ll know all the heartache and frustration were worth it.

*huge huge hugs* please don't give up hope. It's taken me 2 years to realize that God has a plan...we are all waiting for that perfect child from him. Please don't feel like a failure...*hugs*
