We long for a child and find our hearts shaved of hope. As month after month we go childless. The love we have to give and share with a child fills us to the brim, but that love seems thwarted when our longing is not fulfilled. Look with tenderness upon us, oh God. Let the disappointment that hangs over us be lifted by the joy of your touch. Give us the patience that will re-build hope. As we wait for the fullness of our love in the high calling of parenthood. We ask this for the sake of your love.
Amen.
