10 Encouraging Verses for Labor and Delivery

by 18 Comments

  As I come to the final weeks of this pregnancy I’m attempting to prepare myself physically, mentally and spiritually for labor. One of the things that I feel will help me is using scripture as a means of comfort and strength. I have no idea when or how things will play out, but I do know that God is in control and I have to trust in His promises. 

 

  I put together this set of verses to review and meditate on as the time for labor draws near. I thought I would share them here just in case anyone else is looking for some encouragement in this area as well.

though it’s waters roar and foam,

though the mountains tremble at it’s swelling.”

  11. Thank you, Missy for this post. I am still in my 2nd trimester but fear has been a constant irritant in the back of my mind for delivery and labor. I literally teared up reading this out of a thankful heart. I'm going to write these out and keep them with me. Thanks again.
