Shouldn’t every infertile woman address the spiritual aspect of infertility?
If you are struggling with infertility, you know what a hopeless situation it can become, if you let it. When I dealt with it, I found the best source of hope was the Bible. It contains numerous scriptures that pertain directly to infertility. It also gives many accounts of women who were once barren/infertile/childless but became a mother, all because they trusted God to be true to His Word.
I’ve said it before, Infertility Sucks! But I know firsthand that it can be overcome. Here are five verses that I meditated on and repeatedly used as verbal affirmations, putting my name in each scripture. I think you’ll find them to be great sources of HOPE.
Deuteronomy 7:14 [NKJV] ~ “You shall be blessed above all people; there shall not be male or female barren among you.”
Isaiah 50:7 [NKJV] ~ “For the Lord God will help me; Therefore I will not be disgraced; Therefore I have set My face like a flint, And I know that I will not be ashamed.”
Leviticus 26:9 [Amplified Bible] ~ “For I will be leaning toward you with favor and regard for you, rendering you fruitful, multiplying you and establishing and ratifying my covenant with you.”
Hebrews 11:11 [NLT] ~ “It was by faith that even Sarah was able to have a child, though she was barren and was too old. She believed that God would keep his promise.”
Luke 1:37 ~ “For with God NOTHING shall be impossible.”
Are there other scriptures in which you find hope? Please share them below so that others can be encouraged.
Christ was cursed with childlessness at the cross (Gal 3:13), He died without descendants (Isa 53:8). Therefore thru the Great Exchange at the cross, i am now made fruitful in my womb and i see my children’s children.
Faith, I never thought of it that way. I agree that through Jesus’ finished work on the cross, He created the Great Exchange, through which we are blessed with abundance in every area of life. Thank you for such a powerful insight!
Evangeline, have you thought about writing a Bible plan for Youversion? I think that would be a wonderful way to share your message and highlight supporting Bible passages.
No, I haven’t thought about it but I’ll look into it. Thanks for the suggestion! How do YOU personally use Youversion and what have you seen as your benefits as a user?
I’m glad to hear you say that you will look into youversion. I subscribe to 2 reading plans for Joyce Meyers and Joseph Prince, both reading plans are one year long and a new personal message is available also with supporting Bible passage. There are many other reading plans available with all durations and focused topics. It is a great vehicle to share inspiration and encouragement not to mention God’s word. I think that many women facing infertility would love to see a reading plan devoted to the subject!
I enjoy the insights of Joseph Prince as well. His books have drastically changed my views of God’s love and GRACE. Your input has gotten me excited about what could happen through Youversion. Thanks so much!
