Waiting, waiting waiting…. It seems like that’s all we’ve been doing these last 1.5 years. First waiting to get pregnant, then waiting to find out why it wasn’t happening, now waiting to figure out if IVF will work. Although our outlook has remained positive, I’d be lying to you if I didn’t admit to days of hopelessness and frustration!
On days when I find my prayers repetitive, frustrating and exhausting I’m reminded of the story of Isaac.
“Isaac was sixty years old when Rebekah gave birth to them.”- Genesis 25: 26b
Isaac was a patient man, who waited 40 years for the perfect wife, and 20 years for Rebekah to bear him children. He remained hopeful that the Lord would deliver and make the impossible, possible.
So on this day as I grow weary of searching for understanding of God’s plan, tired of praying the same prayers, tired of the wait- I am reminded that Isaac grew tired as well, but trusted in God’s plan and surely did God deliver in His perfect timing. I take comfort in Isaac’s unwavering faith and in knowing that God is just waiting for the perfect time to answer.
