10 Encouraging Verses for Labor and Delivery
10 Encouraging Bible Verses for Labor and Delivery
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.
You can read the verses below and then download these free printable scripture memory cards for you to use during pregnancy, labor and delivery.
