Need help with a verse!!

[Aida]

I a friend of mind has been having a rough time. She finally became pregnant through vitro (with triplets). She lost one about three months ago, then a month ago her water broke..and she is not due until Oct. At first they thought that one of the babies would for sure pass away (if not both). They put her on bed rest for the remainder of the pregnancy with her feet in the air at all times (except to go to bathroom). I want to send her a card with an encouraging verse..or one that will help her. She just found out the other day that one of the babies is a boy!! They do not know the sex of the other yet..but amazingly enough..they are doing "okay" at this point. Any suggestions on verse?

Thank you

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.

therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea.

though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. <>Psalm 46; 1-3

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom will I trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

<>Psalm 138;7

Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. <>Psalm 55; 22

Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait I say, on the Lord. <>Psalm 27;14

Psalms is a wonderful place to find comfort...check them out there are lots and lots of inspiring verses to use...

Love and Blessings,

Thank you for the verse! I understand I maybe should not have posted this in this forum..seeing as this is more for doctrinal posts. Thank you again and God Bless!

Aida,

I am moved for your friend. I will definitely be in prayer for her. God has blessed me with 5 children so far and I know the joy they are and the pain that forever stays in your heart for them.

First, I would caution your friend to wait on the LORD. It is He who opens the womb, who gives life, who sends children. But that should not cause her to fear. God is a faithful and loving God. No trial He may send her (as in the one that has passed) will be beyond what she can bare. He will make a way for her to stand or escape.

Perhaps she will find comfort in the fact that God is in control. Let her trust in God and say with Job:

"I know that thou canst do every [thing]..."

After this Job was blessed with twice as much as he had before. Perhaps it may be that your friend will be blessed yet with two children whereas she has lost one that in learning by trial to fear and honor God her reward may be great.

I will pray that her faith remains and that she is tried and found pleasing to God.

In Christ,

Eric
