 Abraham prayed to God, and God healed Abimelech, and his wife, and his female servants, and they bore children. For God had made every woman infertile in the household of Abimelech, because of Sarah, Abraham's wife. ^{[Genesis 20:17-18 NHEB]}

The Lord God is the True Healer of the Womb.

In this chapter, it was wrong for Abraham to make his wife a shield to protect his own life by saying they're just siblings, and not as married couples. With this lie and outright deceit, the king of the land, Abimelech, took Sarah into his harem. As it was, God’s judgment had fallen over the land, affecting a lot of innocent people. For that period of time, the Lord's judgment was about infertility. The king wanted to increase his royal family, but the Lord did the opposite; He opposed it – all the women stopped getting pregnant. This was all because Abimelech took a married woman, and he was about to violate a marriage covenant sealed by God.

But God is faithful; He didn’t let Sarah be defiled, and also because Abimelech acted out in innocence and integrity of heart. The Lord also removed infertility in all of Abimelech’s rule.

We worship the God of Miracles – the First and Real God of Fertility and the Lord of Conception!  The Lord God is the True Healer of the Womb.

Father God,

We pray to You; please heal our bodies for a baby. We will also pursue a man of God to pray over us. Please help us bear a child. Please make us fertile.

If there is anything, or anyone, that is causing us to be at the receiving end of Your judgment, please help us be made aware and to make things right. We are willing to make amends. We submit to restitution.

Thank You, oh Lord, for being faithful to tell us. It’s not our ability to hear, but Your ability to speak. We will hear Your still small voice. By Your grace and mercy, please remove infertility from us and open our womb.

Thank You, Lord, for Your baby promise over us.

In Jesus' name, 

Amen.
