God is SO good!
Do you find it easier to pray for someone else's miracle and believe it will happen than your own? I am so bold and confident when praying for someone else, but seem to lack that when I pray for myself. I think this might be common. One day my good friend confided in our bible study group that she and her husband had been trying for another baby for a year and had just found out they had less than a 4% chance of conceiving naturally. She had come to us requesting prayers for wisdom about whether or not to have IVF. I answered with, "I'd rather pray for you to conceive." Quite frustrated, she reminded me that that wasn't an option. I insisted. Remember, I'm really bold with other people's miracles. She explained that they still had to get a 20,000 medical loan and that they would keep trying for the next 3 months while they sorted things out. In the third month (which was last month), her ovulation kit broke so they weren't even really trying. They received their medical loan and met with the IVF doctor. She was told to come back as soon as she started her period to begin hormone injections. She went home and waited and waited. No period :) She's pregnant. Guess what else, Friends. Her husband is not a believer. She is in a spiritually mismatched marriage. She has said that even he is having a hard time denying this is nothing short of a miracle. I think God must give us friends with enough confidence to pray for our miracles when we lack the confidence for ourselves. I haven't stopped smiling since I found out. God is SO good!
