Infertility and Your Mind

Infertility can play tricks on your mind.

It can make you entertain thoughts and feelings that reduce your confidence in God and your self-esteem to nearly nothing. Here’s a tip to help you avoid or get out of that pit of despair:

Practice—on purpose—replacing those negative thoughts with positive thoughts.

(See Philippians 4:8 and 2 Corinthians 10:3-5)

Here’s a wonderful reminder that in Christ you are deeply loved, fully accepted, highly valued, and not forgotten.
