The Power of Scripture

The power of scripture has the ability to meet us in our everyday needs and provide comfort during various aspects of our lives, including pregnancy! Amid the joy, excitement, and anticipation you experience during this time, pregnancy can also yield emotions of fear, worry, and angst. God’s word provides wonderful truth to combat these overwhelming feelings and restore peace and comfort! Here are some verses that I find encouraging:

“So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.” ~Isaiah 41:10

“But those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength. They will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint.” ~Isaiah 40:31

“It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed.” ~Deuteronomy 31:8

“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.” ~Proverbs 3:5-6

“Cast your burden on the Lord, and he will sustain you; he will never permit the righteous to be moved.” ~Psalm 55:22
