The two week wait (TWW) can be the hardest 14 days a woman wanting to conceive can endure. And it’s because in the waiting, in the wondering, and in the hoping, our emotions go up and down…and up and then back down. We can turn into a one woman circus show as we believe with 100 percent certainty we are pregnant with every twitch, soreness, and feelings of nausea. But then return to doubt and fear the next as we wonder if we’ll ever carry life in our womb.
Therefore to keep your emotions in check and your mind from going completely crazy (because let’s face it, it sometimes will), I have listed 15 scriptures that I often use while waiting for that moment when I will hopefully see those two glorious pink lines to appear. I encourage you to print them out, hang them throughout your home, memorize them, and think of them often when you feel your hope is depleting and your faith is dwindling. In addition, I encourage you to read His word during this time. His words alone will bring peace to your restless mind and strength to your weary soul.
We wait in hope for the Lord, He is our help and our shield. ~ Psalm 33:20
I am counting on the Lord; yes, I am counting on him. I have put my hope in his word. ~Psalm 130:5

But as for me, I watch in hope for the Lord, I wait for God my savior, my God will hear me. ~Micah 7:7

I am not anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, I present my requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, guards my heart and my mind in Christ Jesus. ~Philippians 4:6-7
Now faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. ~Hebrews 11:1
My prayer for you as you wait–
Lord, I lift to you my sweet sister and I ask that You do the impossible in her situation. I pray that NOW be her time to have life formed in her womb….NOW would be the time for her family to grow…NOW would be the time for her waiting to end and a new beginning to take place….NOW would be her time for You to show Yourself strong in this area of her life…and NOW would be her time for the pain to end and the joy begin. Please wrap her mind in peace as she waits for her NOW moment. Give her comfort to know that You are always there and working no matter the outcome. And grant her the peace she needs to replace the fears and worries weighing her down. I thank you Lord for loving us, being merciful to us, and giving us hope to believe that through you and with you, all things are possible.
It’s in Jesus Name I pray ~Amen
