12 Encouraging Bible Verses For New Moms
I have six children. Count them…six. I am blessed beyond measure. I am so excited to share with you 12 Encouraging Bible Verses For New Moms! These verses are close to my heart and still bring me comfort and peace.
I have always wanted a large family, it is a dream that God has fulfilled so sweetly. Now my youngest is 18 and I can hardly believe where the time went. You know how everyone always tells you to treasure every moment because it goes by fast, well it does. That fact doesn’t take away the crazy challenges of being a new mom. Some women I know have absolutely no problem at all making the transition into motherhood. As, much as I wanted to be one of those serene, confident, women, I wasn’t.
Every one of my children’s birth had complications and included bed-rest. I struggled and sloshed through postpartum depression with two of my pregnancies. My deliveries included tearing and hemorrhaging. I was so far removed from the strong women who were able to pop out a child single-handedly. As with any other time in my life when I have faced difficult trials, I turned to the truth of God’s Word. Jesus’s comforting words renewed and soothed my tired mind, body, and spirit like nothing else in this world can.
I share with you a few of my favorite scripture verses that truly encouraged me in the early days of motherhood. I pray they will be the same for you.
