Calming My Anxious Heart
Some dear friends have been sending me bible verses of encouragement to calm my anxious heart as I prepare for the birth of our Josiah. It means so much to me and I try to spend time each day reading and reflecting on them.
“But you, be strong and do not lose courage, for there is reward for your work.” 2 Chron. 15:7
“I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; from whence shall my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth.” Ps. 121:1-2
“In God I have put my trust, I shall not be afraid.” Ps. 56:11a
“Whenever a woman is in labor she has pain, because her hour has come; but when she gives birth to the child, she no longer remembers the anguish because of the joy that a child has been born into the world.” John 16:21
Any verses you'd like to add? I'd love the encouragement! I'm ready to have and meet this baby.

Love the verses you have here...I'll get back to you with one later.
I like that last tummy photo.
I can just imagine how excited you're getting!!!
What a wonderful time for your family.
Happy Wednesday. =)
the verse that comes to mind right off is...Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God Phil 4:6
But I am poor and needy; yet the Lord thinketh upon me: thou art my help and my deliverer; make no tarrying, O my God. Ps. 40:17-I found this one as I was looking for the one below and thought is applied to you as well
God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof Ps 46:1-3
i love tummy pictures! yours is great.
hoping that your little person arrives soon...
and that these last few seconds/minutes/days
go smoothly and quickly.
a couple of favs that i'm thinking of at the moment...
Exodus 33:14
"The Lord replied,"My presence will go with you, and I will give you rest."
Numbers 6:24:26
"THe Lord bless you and keep you;
the Lord make His face to shine upon you
and be gracious unto you;
The Lord turn His face toward you
and give you peace."
Zephaniah 3:17
"The Lord your God is with you
He is mighty to save.
He will take great delight in you,
He will quiet you with His love,
He will rejoice over you with singing."
I, too, love the pic! Soon! There is a verse that He leads those with young gently. I can't remember where it's at, but it meant the world to me when I was pregnant with my last child.
pretty basic but still true .... 'i can do all things through Christ who gives me strength'
and cindy's verse from zephaniah is beautiful too!!
i will be blog stalking waiting to hear - so don't go too long without updates : )
Philippians 4:6
Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.
Thinking and praying for you and new baby Josiah!! Love Ya!!
