No amount of blogged hope can protect women or couples from the painful journey of infertility or miscarriage or related losses. There will still be pain. And no amount of living mindfully with a deep and abiding faith in the Lord can secure an impenetrable bubble around women or couples. Despair is normal. Grief is normal. Unbearable loss is normal. However, pain can be productive. God does use suffering to bring about good. Let’s explore this together. Purpose in pain.

Psalm 46:1-5 (ESV) says, “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore we will not fear though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy habitation of the Most High. God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved; God will help her when morning dawns.”
