I need to make a pretty tough decision. My friend told me to seek biblical confirmation. It's been impossible for me to figure out what that is. Part of me that thinks I have this strong desire to pursue this one thing and think that God would not give me such desire if it is not aligned with his will. Another part of me thinks I've had so many roadblocks to get to this point and I have to wonder, does God want me to pursue this? How does 1 know for sure? This is not something that is sinful btw

IVF is a very serious sin. I would urge you to do more research and reconsider.

This is absolute nonsense. Please point a scriptural passage to back up your claim. The Bible is the final authority on the Word of God and has not said anything about ivf.

If you have nothing from the Bible, please stop spreading someone's interpretation as doctrine.

I'm shocked to find this on fishbowl but the website is no different from churches that preach against medical science "If God wants to heal you, he'll heal you without doctors"=="If God wants you to have a baby, he'll give you one"

Joining you in prayer, dear sister! I empathize with you as I have had seasons where it seemed like God was silent.

In moments like these I have found hope through prayer, reading the word, and good friends. One thing that I study most during these times are stories of Gods faithfulness in the midst of trials- David was called to be king but had to go through a wilderness first.

I like the “5 Cs” model Nicky Gumbel shared:
1) Commanding scripture- aligning to God’s word
2) Compelling spirit - having peace along with the desire
3) Common sense - what would you tell someone else?
4) Counsel of the saints - discuss with people who are firm and actively walking in faith and who know you well
5) Circumstantial signs - not about giving up when challenged (we do have an enemy) but not ignoring clear indications

OP, you just have to keep praying and asking God for His guidance and for Him to show you His will ❤️

can you provide more context, maybe some specifics?

Never give up dear sister. The scriptures have taught us how Jesus usually showed up when all hope seems lost. Do you remember the story of Lazarus in John 11, Jairus daughter in Luke 8, and the son of the widow of Nain in Luke 7? All these people were confirmed dead and hopeless, but Jesus brought them back to life. Please read these stories, Jesus is never tired of miracles. Go for it dear sister.
I pray for you today that we shall all celebrate with you in the next few months in Jesus name.
John 11:40 - If you believe, you shall see the glory of God.

Hey there. I’ve been down this road with IVF. I very intentionally did not tell many people, because so many Christian’s with good intentions say such hurtful, terrible things.

Pray about it. If you feel led to go through another round of IVF, do it! Feel free to message me if you want to chat.

You didn't have to wait too long. That just happened in this thread. I have decided to give it a period where I will pray and fast through the weekend. Not thinking cause I will obessess over it. Just pray about it. I'll sew what direction I might feel led by then. Thank you for your kindness.

We’ve been attending a church for about 6 months now and trying to decide if it’s our church home. The only reason I’m hesitant is because people don’t seem to engage with us as much as I expected. For example, I told the pastors wife about a serious diagnosis we recently received and she did pray for us on the spot, but no one has reached out to us at all to check in. Am I expecting too much?
