It took me a year to finally get pregnant and it was a hard long year for me watching all my friends get pregnant with their second so quickly and easily. Anyway, I've been dealing with my anger at God for something that happened last year in my marriage and I'm just not getting to the point that I can't stay angry at Him and risk losing my soul over this. I let myself get so far from Him and now I'm struggling to get back to the relationship I had with Him. Your story was a much needed reminder. Wow, thanks for sharing.

I have been going through a particularly difficult time in my life the last couple of months. I've stepped out of the choir because at church recently because I was so tired of trying to sing "on stage" with a fake smile on my face when all I want to do is cry. Thank you for reminding me with your thoughts to this wonderful song that I should be singing and praising Him no matter the storms I face because He is great! Thank you for sharing your story.

I have gone through the same situation. Even worse after praying for years I got pregnant and I lost my baby after 7 weeks. I got tired of people telling me "It is God's will and God knows best." It is difficult, but the Lord reins and the Lord loves us and probably all those well wisher are right. Keep the faith and work with your body. There are so many women who were told that they will never have babies and they did. My family has a friend who pray for years and at 46 she had a healthy baby girl. May the Lord bless you.

Mon, 14 Apr 2008 16:00:10 +0000 http://beingfrugal.net/?p=646#comment-7355 Hi Lynnae, This story touched my heart. I never had this particular struggle, but I have experienced trying to sing in church with a broken heart with a fake smile on my face. There is hardly any way to describe how the Lord can turn your brokenness into joy just by singing/praying/crying out to Him, but you described it so well. Your post reminded me of the story of Hannah in the Bible. I'm so thankful we have a merciful, heavenly Father who knows and cares about our sorrowful spirit, who can calm our anger and uproot our bitterness all in the course of one song! Blessings!

It’s always encouraging to hear when people apply The Word as in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice evermore. Pray without ceasing. In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” Continue to be encouraged in the LORD and remember if you want a third child, God is able and willing. "Delight thyself also in the LORD: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart." (Psalm 37:4). Take it to God and have faith as Jesus told us “For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith..” (Mark 11:23). "And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it." (John 14:13-14) Thank you for sharing how you worked out your anger by praising God. It’s always encouraging to hear when people apply The Word as in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 “Rejoice evermore.

It broke my heart because my whole life, all I wanted to do was be a wife and mom. I went through several months of anger and confusion and sought comfort in food and other people instead of in my savior. It took me awhile to drop to me knees and return to the foot of the cross. Now as a married woman, I have seen God provide a child to my friend who was told the same thing. We are preparing to start trying soon as my health condition requires preplanning. A lot of prayer is happening now as we prepare to try. Thanks for sharing your story. Its good to know I'm not the only who struggles in this area.

I get tears in my eyes with the congregation singing with full hearts, and I don't even need to be going through a trying time! This post reminded me of what our pastor mentioned this morning - that everything is according to God's timing, not ours. Sometimes it's very hard for me to be patient or understand the "why" of difficult times or waiting for something really special. The lesson for me is to give everything to God, have faith, know that all is working for my best, and to wait on His timing. Thanks for a great post! I absolutely love that hymn.
