Encouragement when you feel frustrated

Emily

On the trying to conceive roller coaster I know we feel an array of emotions. I’m currently in my two week wait and kind of think my periods coming. It’s hard to stop thinking so much and it’s hard to not go crazy thinking you’ll jinx it if you think this or do that.

I’m really realizing this month though that God has heard my prayers and I can go about my life in peace. He knows the desires of my heart and I don’t have to worry or lose sleep. I’m not perfect and anxious thoughts will come but I can turn them to God and remember that He is so loving and so good. I can’t make myself happy but I can instead choose to dwell on the person of God and that will fill me with joy. I can turn my worry into worship and stop begging Him to do it on my terms.

Here’s two things I’ve read that could distract you and also encourage you for the two week wait.

- 1 Samuel 1

-an ebook God is Love by Oswald Chambers
