Infertility Bible Study!

Infertility Bible Study


It’s almost here! The last minute details are being ironed out! The final preparations are being made!

I’m not talking about Christmas! I’m talking about the Sarah’s Laughter Infertility Bible Study!

We are so very excited about this amazing adventure God is leading us on! It has been a long time in the making, and the study is almost ready. For quite some time, people have asked if we know of a quality, in-depth Bible study that focuses on infertility. The fact is there just aren’t that many out there. We feel God has led us to compile one and we are humbled and excited about it. The Word of God has much to say about the struggle a couple faces when consumed with infertility. There are helps in Scripture for the battle we face when we are consumed with jealousy when another woman gets pregnant, yet we remain childless. Anger can consume us, yet the Bible tells us what we should do to put it away from us. If your heart is heavy and sad, God understands the hurt and His Word has the balm to soothe your wounds. All of these issues and more are addressed in this Bible Study, and each lesson is directly related to infertility.

We would love to present this study to 100 people for a critique before it is offered to the general public. If you would be interested in completing the study and offering your opinion, contact us immediately. There are very few spots left on our list of 100 volunteers! Send us your name and mailing address and we will send you a hard copy the week of January 5-9, 2009.

The following is a sample of a “homework assignment” found in the Bible Study. It is only a tiny example of the practical helps you’ll find in this work.

A Little Lagniappe
Jealousy
Day 3—Practice, Practice, Practice!

List the five most difficult situations you face in regard to infertility induced jealousy:
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
Go back to Philippians 4:13 and fill in the blanks:

“I _________________________ do _________________________________________ through _______________________________ who _____________________________ me.”
Now, re-write this verse, replacing the words “do all things” with the five situations you’ve listed:
Here are a couple of examples for you:

“I can face another birthday without a baby through Christ who strengthens me.”

“I can maintain a relationship with my very fertile family members through Christ who strengthens me.”

I can______________________________________________________________ through Christ who strengthens me.

I can______________________________________________________________ through Christ who strengthens me.

I can______________________________________________________________ through Christ who strengthens me.

I can______________________________________________________________ through Christ who strengthens me.

I can______________________________________________________________ through Christ who strengthens me.


Now let’s put these two blessed truths together! When you face jealousy-invoking situations along your journey through infertility, practice plugging your situation into this verse and make it a habit! Instead of ruminating on your rage and jealousy toward people at work who gripe about being pregnant, practice saying “I can face pregnant co-workers at my job today through Christ who strengthens me.” Instead of allowing infertility to destroy relationships with people you love, practice saying “I can maintain a strong, healthy, relationships with those I love through Christ who strengthens me.” Combat these negative, hurtful, jealous thoughts with the powerful, efficacious Word of God until it becomes a habit!
