Gen 16:1-2 Sarai, Abram's wife, hadn't yet produced a child. She had an Egyptian maid named Hagar. 2 Sarai said to Abram, "GOD has not seen fit to let me have a child. Sleep with my maid. Maybe I can get a family from her." The mistake that Sarai made was that God (who controls the womb) hadn’t yet given her a child and many of us make the same mistake by taking things into our own hands
