Waiting with Hope – Christian Pregnancy Loss & Infertility Journal (KJV) | Printable PDF
A gentle place to bring your heart to God after losing a baby, or in the long wait for one.
Maybe you lost a baby. Maybe you have been waiting a long time. Maybe both. This journal will not try to fix you, and it will not give you easy answers. It is a quiet, honest place to cry, remember, pray and breathe.
The Bible is full of people who cried out to God. Hannah wept and poured out her soul. David asked, "How long?" Jesus wept. Your tears are allowed here.
Go slowly. There is no schedule. Start in the part that fits your heart today, and skip anything you are not ready for.
