Waiting in Hope Infertility Ministry, Houston, TX (2026)

May your unfailing love be with us, Lord, even as we put our hope in you. Waiting in Hope exists to encourage, support and embrace those struggling through the grief of difficulty conceiving. If you are dealing with infertility, miscarriage, adoption or prolonged “waiting,” then we desire to help you find hope in your waiting. We are a non-profit that serves as an infertility resource to walk besi

de you, your spouse and be a community through this tough season that is often filled with more negatives than hope. We believe there is hope to be found during this season of waiting. We also know that genuine, life-giving help can come from others walking this journey together. We do this by hosting local WiH Groups located throughout the country that consist of support meetings for women, group dinners for couples, day events, and an online community for all those who can't find or launch a group. Our goal is that these groups and our events would be a source of hope, strength, insight, freedom and honest heartfelt encouragement to those walking through what can feel like a very long and rocky path. Please remember that you are not alone in this journey. We would love to have you join us in a group and in this ministry along your journey. If you are interested in bringing a WiH group to your area, check out more info on our website at https://linktr.ee/waiting.in.hope

Read: Isaiah 43:1

Infertility can slowly start to shape the way you see yourself.

You may begin introducing yourself internally through the lens of what hasn’t happened yet. The friend still waiting. The woman without children. The couple trying again. Over time, it can feel like infertility takes up so much space that it becomes difficult to separate it from your identity.

But infertility is not the truest thing about you.

Before any diagnosis, timeline, or unanswered prayer, you were already fully known and deeply loved by God. Scripture says He calls you by name and claims you as His. Not because of what your body can do. Not because your life looks a certain way. Simply because you belong to Him.

That truth can be hard to hold onto in a world where so much value is tied to milestones and expectations. Especially when conversations, holidays, or social media constantly remind you of what feels missing.
But your life is not on hold in God’s eyes.

You carry purpose. You reflect His image. You are worthy of joy, connection, rest, and meaningful life right now.

Infertility may be part of your story, but it is not the whole story of who you are.

In what ways has infertility shaped the way you think about yourself?

Pray:
Lord, when infertility feels consuming, remind me who I am in You. Help me hold onto the truth that my worth is not based on outcomes or expectations, but on being loved and known by You. Amen.

Waiting in Hope is thinking of you and praying for you this Mother’s Day. No matter where you are in your journey of growing your family and navigating fertility.

We know this day can bring a mix of emotions. For some, it is hopeful. For others, it is heavy. And for many, it is both at the same time.

Please know you are not alone.

You are seen. You are remembered. You are deeply loved.

We are praying for peace in the hard places this weekend, strength when you feel weak, and comfort in every moment of grief.

May you feel God near you and the assurance that your story is not forgotten.

With you,
The Waiting In Hope Team 🤍

Infertility reveals that you can’t help yourself. You cannot change your circumstance no matter how hard you try.

I encourage you to let the struggles of infertility lead you to a deeper, not weaker, place. Only God gives us endurance, but we must ask for it and rely on him alone. Our efforts will fail every time in any hard place.

In this exhausting journey, we can trust the one who has all power, authority, and might. Our God will never grow weary. It’s in him alone that we can be strong. So when you find yourself at a brick wall, unable to keep going, you can gain all of his never-ending strength to carry on.

When we think of courage and the bible, we might think of Daniel in the lion’s den, David facing Goliath with just a slingshot, or Peter taking a step onto the stormy waters. Courage can be those big things it can also be going to work after another failed cycle, attending a baby shower, or deciding to try again next month.

Through the Holy Spirit, God has given us a spirit of courage. “For God has not given us a spirit of fearfulness, but one of power, love, and sound judgment.” 2 Timothy 1:7

Sometimes the fear of another failed cycle and the heartbreak that follows it prevents us from trying again. “They will have no fear of bad news; their hearts are steadfast, trusting in the LORD.” (Psalm 112:7) There might be times when we need to step back and take a break from trying again. Consider if you are stepping back out of fear, or to bring peace to your life. God will guide you in those choices. When we decided to step back, we didn’t do it out of fear of bad news or failure but to bring peace to our lives.

“Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.” (John 14:27) God blesses His children in ways we might not understand. His plan is greater than anything we could ever imagine.
Ephesians 6:10 says, “Finally, be strong in the Lord and in his mighty power.” When we remember the absolute power of the mighty God, the creator of everything, we can have the courage to do things we might otherwise be afraid to do.

Our hope should be in the Lord and trusting in His will and plan. When we do that, we can find the courage that comes from Him. “Be strong and courageous, all you who put your hope in the Lord.” (Psalms 31:24)

It is hard to know when a friend shares that they are going through infertility. Here are some things to avoid saying even when intentions are good. What would you add to this list?
•“Just relax- it will happen”- This minimizes the pain and implies infertility is just stress-related and fixable. We are called to enter into people’s pain, not minimize it. Romans 12:15 says, “Rejoice with those who rejoice, mourn with those who mourn.”
•“You can always adopt”- Adoption is great, but not a replacement for the grief they are struggling with. Lamentations models lament- honestly naming pain without rushing to solutions. It is important that grief is spoken and acknowledged, not redirected.
•“Have you tried” (unsolicited advice)- More than likely the answer to that question is yes. This can often be taken as blame. Proverbs 18:13 warns against speaking before listening.
•“It will happen in God’s timing”- While this is true in a broad sense it has the potential to feel dismissive in the moment. In stories like Hannah’s (1 Samuel 1), her pain is taken seriously. Hannah weeps, prays honestly to God, and is not rushed past her grief. God meets us and walks with us through the waiting.
•“At least you can . . .” (travel, sleep, have alone time)- This tries to “silver-line” something that is a deep loss to the other person. We see what was most helpful to Job in Job 2:13 “Then they sat on the ground with him for seven days and nights. No one said a word to Job, for they saw that his suffering was too great for words.”
Instead try phrases like
•“You are not in this alone.”
•“Can I pray with you or for you?”
•“I am so sorry you are having to walk through this, that sounds hard.”

Sometimes you’re ready to make decisions, and your spouse isn’t. Maybe they’re scared, unsure, or need more time. Sometimes you just aren’t on the same page at all. Infertility is hard. Decisions are tricky and there are so many factors at play. Infertility can make you feel lonely even when you’re married. Here are a few things you can do with your spouse that can help:

Pray together, even if it’s messy.
You don’t need perfect words. Just invite God into the conversation and ask Him to guide your hearts.
Read the Bible together.
Pick verses about God’s timing, trust, and hope. Let His Word remind you that He is bigger than your fears and personal plans.
Listen first.
Try to really hear your spouse. Listen to their fears, hopes, the “I don’t know yet.” Understanding them can soften the tension and help build unity.
Ask for godly guidance.
A pastor, mentor couple, or Christian counselor can help you navigate these decisions with wisdom and love. Sometimes you just need a safe place to talk it through.
Take small steps together.
Even tiny things, praying together, journaling, sharing a devotional can help you feel like a team while you figure out the bigger decisions.

Remember: you don’t have to have it all figured out today. God is faithful, and He sees both of your hearts. ❤️

“Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up!” — Ecclesiastes 4:9-10, ESV
