Bible Verses for Pregnancy
Encouraging KJV scriptures for expectant mothers — for joy, comfort through morning sickness, peace through anxiety, and prayers for the baby growing in the womb.
Pregnancy is a sacred season — nine months in which God knits a brand-new life together in the secret place. Whether this is your first or fifth pregnancy, whether you are celebrating, anxious, or recovering from previous loss, the Bible has words for you. These King James scriptures speak of God's intimate involvement in forming your baby, His protection over both mother and child, and the deep joy that pregnancy brings. Pray them daily, write them in your pregnancy journal, or share them at a baby shower.
