Last December, before I had Gwen, I spent one afternoon looking up verses that I thought would be encouraging to me for when I was in labor. I had seen a post on Faith's blog on her verses for labor, and I thought it was a great idea to focus on God's word during labor and delivery, so I got out my Bible and concordance and went to work.
I wrote my verses on little 4x6 inch notecards, and I even used colored pens to make them all fancy. Little did I know that things would move so fast that I wouldn't even have time to use them!
I do plan on keeping them and using them for my labor with my next baby (assuming we don't have another ambulance incident), but in the meantime I thought I'd share them here! The first two are from Faith's list, and the rest I picked out for myself.
Feel free to steal these and use them for your own labor (or just anytime you need some encouragement). I found that some of my favorite verses for life in general were also ones that I would want to focus on in labor, so I also suggest just grabbing your own Bible and going through all the verses you've highlighted in the past - you'll be surprised how many can be appropriate for labor!
If you want to use the images I made here, I sized them so they will fit on 4x6 cards. Just click on the images you want and save to your computer!
Thanks for this Callie! I've passed the link to this post onto a few of my Jesus lovin' preggo friends! :)
These are great, Callie! I look forward to using Scripture during my next labor (someday!).
Great scriptures!!
Thank you for making these Callie! I will be printing them off for sure!
I wonder if your next one WILL be that fast! They're supposed to get faster, right??
