In 1 Samuel 1, we meet Hannah, a woman deeply grieved by her inability to conceive. Year after year, she wept and prayed to the Lord, pouring out her soul in desperation. And the Bible says: “The Lord remembered her. So in the course of time Hannah conceived and gave birth to a son” (1 Samuel 1:19-20). That son was Samuel, one of the greatest prophets of Israel. Similarly, Sarah, Abraham’s wife, was barren into her old age. She laughed in disbelief when God promised her a son.

Yet, “Is anything too hard for the Lord?” (Genesis 18:14). In God’s appointed time, Sarah gave birth to Isaac, the child of promise. Rebekah, Rachel, Manoah’s wife, and Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, were all barren at one point—but the Lord opened their wombs. These stories were not just about producing children; they were about revealing the power, mercy, and perfect timing of God. If you are asking, “Will the Lord give me a child?”, know that you are not alone. Your cry is ancient, and it has been heard before.

 Psalm 113:9 says, “He gives the barren woman a home, making her the joyous mother of children.” This scripture is not a guarantee of how or when, but it is a promise that God sees your pain and has not forgotten you. The journey may involve waiting, surrender, or even receiving in unexpected ways. But your identity is not found in your ability to conceive—your identity is rooted in being a child of God. Whether through natural conception, healing, adoption, or spiritual motherhood, God has a plan for you. Keep praying, keep believing, and trust that His heart is tender toward yours.
