I am amazed at the gift of prayer.  Prayer is the power that God has given us to cope with this world.  I pray about everything.  I pray about my family, my work, my marriage, my purpose and I pray to God about my infertility.There are women noted in the Bible that could not have children but finally with prayer they did.  That is why I have faith that I too will someday have a child. Maybe not the way I have planned but the way God has planned.Prayer to me is kind of like a healthy diet.  When I'm eating healthy I feel good and I look good because I'm doing whats best for my body.  When I stop eating this healthy diet my body starts to gain weight and becomes sluggish.  I find myself wondering why I ever stopped eating my healthy diet.  I feel so much better when I'm eating healthy but it seems I always slip back into my junk food gluten ways trying to figure out how I let myself lose control.When I am praying my mind is healthy.  God grants me peace of mind when I pray to him.  When I pray to God and give my worries and problems to him I feel better and I look better. Just like when Im eating my healthy diet.  When I put junk food into my body I am essentially slowly killing myself. When I put healthy food into my body I am nurishing and strengthing my body. When I pray to God I am throwing out the junk food of my mind.  God fills my mind with nurture and strength. When I try to solve my problems without prayer I am essentially killing my spirit.  I end up wondering why I ever stopped praying.The best part of prayer is I can do it anywhere anytime and it works like a charm.  In my office in my car, in Church, or in my bedroom.  Prayer is the only on demand treatment I have been given and it's free! Unlike other fertility treatments.God always listens to my prayers.  I don't always get the answer that I am looking for but I guess if I had all the answers I wouldn't be praying in the first place.  I would like to share one short story of just one way that prayer has helped me in dealing with infertility.I was diagnosed with a balanced translocation.  I had no idea what this was.  I was looking online for weeks and weeks for another person with a translocation that causes miscarriage/infertility and I couldnt find one person for over a month.  I felt so alone. Not one person could understand what I was going through.Finally I broke down and I prayed to God.  I cried out to him that I felt alone.  The next time that I signed onto the internet I met two other women with a translocation that cause miscarriage/infertility.  Some might say I just got lucky but after searching for over a month on my own finding no one I am certain that God answered my prayer.I pray today that this book can be an answer to your prayer.  I pray you find the peace of mind that you are looking for.  I pray that you can let go of your hurt and pain and cry out to God so that he can answer your prayers.  I pray for all who live with infertility.
