I'm Holly, and I'm so happy you're tuning in today.
00:00:16.399 --> 00:00:17.920
Hey friends, and I'm Nicole.
00:00:18.079 --> 00:00:22.399

00:00:45.600 --> 00:00:48.880
Welcome to the Purpose Beyond Motherhood podcast.
00:00:52.719 --> 00:00:54.640
Hey everyone, it's Ollie.
00:00:54.799 --> 00:01:01.359
I am joining you today by myself for a quick little episode on the Purpose Beyond Motherhood.
00:01:01.520 --> 00:01:03.679
Today is going to be a little bit different.
00:01:03.840 --> 00:01:23.920
I am just hopping on to pray with you and just to be a safe space for a moment to just take a breath and sit in the presence of the Lord amidst a crazy day or a crazy week, or maybe you're listening to this before you walk into a doctor appointment.
00:01:24.719 --> 00:01:27.840
Whatever it is, we're just going to pray together.
00:01:28.159 --> 00:01:31.280
And I just want this to be a moment of encouragement to you.
00:01:31.359 --> 00:01:47.439
I'm going to open with my favorite verse, which is Hebrews 10 23, and it's the one that I clung to throughout our journey of infertility and loss and waiting and confusion and truthfully moments of doubt and anger.
00:01:48.000 --> 00:01:53.519
All of the emotions, all of the array of emotions that we feel going through infertility.
00:01:54.480 --> 00:02:02.079
So Hebrews 10 23, let us hold unswervingly to the hope we profess for he who promised is faithful.
00:02:02.879 --> 00:02:04.480
Okay, now I'm gonna pray.
00:02:05.439 --> 00:02:09.360
Lord, I thank you so much for the woman listening to me right now, God.
00:02:09.840 --> 00:02:17.360
I ask that you would just fill her car if she's sitting in that, fill the whatever room she's in, Lord, wherever she is in this moment, God.
00:02:17.439 --> 00:02:20.639
I ask that you would let her feel your presence.
00:02:20.800 --> 00:02:31.680
I ask that you would silence the voice of the enemy, God, that you would fill her heart and her mind with your peace that truly passes all understanding, God.
00:02:32.000 --> 00:02:33.360
You see her, Lord.
00:02:33.520 --> 00:02:42.639
You see the empty space, the unanswered prayers, the appointments and the tears and the questions she may not even know how to say out loud.
00:02:42.879 --> 00:02:52.800
I ask that you would remind her that her longing for a child is not a lack of faith and that her grief is not a failure to trust you.
00:02:53.280 --> 00:03:00.240
I want her to know that you are with her while she holds both her hope and her heartbreak, God.
00:03:00.800 --> 00:03:07.199
I ask that you would meet her wherever she is, whether she feels forgotten, whether she feels defeated.
00:03:07.360 --> 00:03:24.800
I ask that you would help her remember that you and you alone can shift her perspective, Lord, that you can shift the posture of her heart and the perspective of her eyes to see your goodness, even when in the natural it may not feel that way in this moment.
00:03:24.960 --> 00:03:29.120
God, I ask that you would be ever present, Lord.
00:03:29.360 --> 00:03:32.400
I ask that you would give her peace, God.
00:03:32.719 --> 00:03:39.199
Help her remember that infertility is something she is walking through, but it is not a measure of her worth, Lord.
00:03:39.439 --> 00:03:48.879
I ask that you would give her just clarity to see next steps, Lord, or clarity to pause whatever, whatever you're asking her to do, Lord.
00:03:49.039 --> 00:04:00.719
I ask that you would make it just one step at a time, one decision at a time, and that you would remind her that that is okay, and that trusting you for that one next thing is enough.
00:04:01.120 --> 00:04:02.960
I thank you for her, Lord.
00:04:03.039 --> 00:04:08.400
I thank you for how you created her, and I thank you that she's listening right now, God.
00:04:08.719 --> 00:04:17.279
I ask that you would hold her tightly and that she would cling to what is true, which is you, Lord, and your goodness and your faithfulness.
00:04:17.519 --> 00:04:27.279
I pray that her story would be one of your faithfulness and that she would be able to share it someday soon with how you answered her prayer, Lord, whatever that may be, God.
00:04:27.439 --> 00:04:32.879
I thank you for being the God who sees and the God who holds his girls, Lord.
00:04:33.199 --> 00:04:35.040
I thank you for this time together.
00:04:35.199 --> 00:04:36.319
In Jesus' name I pray.
00:04:36.560 --> 00:04:37.199
Amen.
00:04:37.600 --> 00:04:37.920
Okay.
00:04:38.560 --> 00:04:40.240
Thank you so much for listening.
00:04:40.480 --> 00:04:42.160
I hope that was a blessing.
00:04:42.480 --> 00:04:46.240
And I know that this journey is not easy.
00:04:46.560 --> 00:04:57.360
It's not convenient or comfortable, but I'm hoping that that was encourag encouragement to your heart to just keep going and keep taking the next step in whatever your journey is.
00:04:58.319 --> 00:05:01.519
We love you, and please connect with 1212 if you feel led to.
