God sees my longing for a child.

A Bible affirmation for waiting to conceive, rooted in Psalm 113:9.

He settles the barren woman in her home as a joyful mother to her children. Hallelujah!

Psalm 113:9 · BSB

Reflection

Again and again Scripture shows God noticing women who longed for children: Sarah, Rachel, Hannah, Elizabeth. This psalm praises a God who lifts up the lowly. Your longing isn't invisible to Him.

A prayer

Lord, hold my longing. Keep my heart safe while I wait, hope and grieve honestly.
