'Praying the same prayers for years and not seeing any fruit was wearying, and I often considered giving up. But during those seasons of doubt, I was blessed to have friends who stood in the gap and prayed and believed for me. ' - Amanda Mae Steele
If you’re anything like us, you love hearing stories of how God is at work in the lives of others. We love celebrating and sharing the joy of Christ. That’s why we created a series all about stories of faith! Each month we’ll share a story from a member of the Lifeway team in hopes that it will bring you hope and encouragement.
Praying the same prayers for years and not seeing any fruit was wearying, and I often considered giving up on those dreams. Actually, I probably did—several times—but during those seasons of doubt, I was blessed to have friends who stood in the gap and prayed and believed for me. But like I said, there was something about 2020 that reignited the hope that maybe it would be the year God would decide to finally answer my prayers with a resounding yes! I felt supernaturally optimistic and was certain it would be the year that my husband Nick and I would find a community group we loved and focus on figuring out our fertility issues more seriously and that God would finally reveal to me how I should use my gifts and talents professionally and at church.
And I had little energy to figure out a new career direction. Besides, the whole world was on pause anyway, and I was fortunate to even still have a job.During a season when we were forced to isolate ourselves, God introduced me to new Christ-loving friends across the country through social media—not something I would have imagined.
