Last night, I went to a pregnancy loss support group. I'd be remiss if I didn't say that I was quite nervous to go. It was heartbreaking to hear other women share their losses, but it was intensely comforting to know that I'm not alone. Maybe I'll share more of my experiences in the future, but for now, I just want to share two quotes that the group leader shared and that have been lodged in my soul.
The Lord will fight for you; you have only to keep still. -Exodus 14:14
"For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. - Jeremiah 29:11
I had not heard the first one but that's powerful! So glad you went.
ReplyDeletei love jeremiah 29:11 -- i actually like the first 14 verses of the chapter because they are so applicable to me as a pastor's wife.
ReplyDeleteAh, that Exodus verse is one of my favorites! Definitely comforted me in my time after loss.
ReplyDeleteThose are beautiful quotes that I also use pretty often!!!! I'm glad you found some comfort in the support group and the scriptures!
ReplyDeleteSorry for your loss! Beautiful Scriptural quotes!
ReplyDeleteThese are beautiful verses Mandi. I'm so glad you are able to find comfort and peace through His Word and the support group as you carry your heavy crosses along your faith journey. May God continue to bless you with His love and may He continue to use your experiences to help others.
