Dear Heavenly Father,
I praise you that I am fearfully and wonderfully made. Lord, it’s easy for me to feel entitled for you to bless me — especially with a child. Please humble me in your presence and in your Word to acknowledge you as Lord of all — including my infertility.
Lord, forgive me when I see my friends holding up their children’s drawings of turkeys or participating in a Thanksgiving play at school — and I feel that because I don’t have what they have, that you don’t love me. For I know this is a lie from the Enemy, Father, and I thank you that you desire good gifts for me, and the Enemy does not — keep my mind clear on the difference.
Father, restrain the enemy from attacking my heart of gratitude. In a season of being generous and grateful, strengthen me to keep this attitude and not fall into the rut of envy, discontentment, anger, and greed.
Lord, in a season that is so seemingly focused on family, help me not to focus on what I am lacking as far as my own family is concerned. Give me eyes and ears that will be open to appreciating the family and friends that I have right now, in this moment — and that I can rejoice being your daughter.
Father, though it’s easy to blame you for my empty womb and empty arms, keep me confident and joyful in all the blessings you have so lavishly given to me. Instill a spirit of generosity in me, that I may desire to bless others with your Word and your truths — and not focus on what I don’t have.
Lord, I bring my cares and my concerns before you, and confess that you are Lord above all things — and that you are a good, gracious, merciful, loving, forgiving Father. My infertility is no surprise to you, and it is nothing you cannot handle. I thank you that you’ve chosen me to endure this journey — and though I may no understand why — my highest song of praise is that I can glorify you and you alone through this valley.
I will praise you and give thanks in all circumstances. Amen.
Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus. — 1 Thessalonians 5:18

What a wonderful prayer! There’s no thanksgiving day in Europe, but this prayer is relevant on any given day. I’ve been following your blog for some weeks now and I always find your stories to be really inspiring. Thank you for sharing them, it helps me stay positive and close to Christ while struggling with pcos/infertility!
Nathalie! This message was such a joy to my heart — thank you! You’re absolutely correct: This prayer is applicable day in and day out. I’m so glad that you’ve found inspiration from my blog, and more importantly, that it is driving you towards a deeper relationship with Jesus. That’s the goal! Please don’t hesitate to let me know how I may pray for you, dear sister. Sending you love from the US! xo
Thank you for your kind message! As you kindly offered, I do have a prayer request, I have been feeling a little sad lately as some friends announced a few pregnancies in the last weeks and I had/am having trouble being genuinely happy for them. I already feel that they pity me and therefore avoid the subject even though I love babies and this situation makes me feel a little left out. Please let me know if you have any prayer requests, I would be very happy to pray for you and others! It keeps us all connected trough Christ! I believe you can see my email address if you’d want to share something. Sending love back from the Netherlands!
Oh friend, I completely know the feeling. It’s an ongoing struggle to balance the weight of these announcements alongside feelings of pity, etc. My prayer for you is that these feelings of sadness will be lifted, that you will look to the cross for your joy, that your strength will only increase. I pray that you will be filled with contentment and confidence and that you will truly be able to “rejoice with those who rejoice” (Romans 12:15).
I think you’ll find this post helpful, too! http://itspositiveliving.com/feeling-the-weight-of-infertility-these-scriptures-will-help/ Continue seeking the Lord and his Word through this battle, Nathalie! May it be a balm to your soul, dear sister! Much love!
Your positivity brought much needed light and perspective on what has been a really hard day. I’m also someone with PCOS and I am trying to build my family. Thank you for the reminder of not losing sight of the things that we currently have this season. Thank you!
Hi Paige! Thank you for your kind words, and I’m glad you found this post! You’re certainly not alone in this struggle and this fight. Please don’t hesitate to shoot me an email or connect on social media if you need prayer or someone to talk to. The holiday season can be tough. Much love to you! xo
You can get your ex back and cure your infertility problems with Dr. Odunga.
When I met Dr. Odunga, my husband had divorced me because I was a barren woman of 41 and I have been married for 21 years. I was devastated and confused as a woman of my age until when I went online to look for help on how to get my marriage back then I met Dr. Odunga. Within 48 hours of contacting him, my ex husband came back home and pleaded for me to forgive him and take him back after 5 months of divorce. I accepted him back and then I told Dr. Odunga of my bareness for him to help me. He did the spell for fertility and after 48 hours of completing it, I conceived. My husband got me pregnant and I gave birth to a baby girl.
Presently, I am a mother of a beautiful baby girl and I am happy in my relationship. This is all thanks to Dr. Odunga and his wonderful work. Contact Dr. Odunga Via Whats-App number +2348167159012. Email at: odungaspelltemple@gmail.com
