Labor and Delivery Verses



Here is a list of bookmarked passages I made the last few months of my pregnancy. These are the verses that spoke to me at the time. I encourage you to search the word yourself and bookmark the ones that stir your heart. I really like my Bible app because you can label your bookmarks and store them together which was perfect for looking through during labor. I specifically spoke out the first one during labor and it really gave me such a peace picturing Jesus holding me close to his heart.
I hope this list gives you a head start or shows you some you may have not seen before.


"He will feed His flock like a shepherd;
He will gather the lambs with His arm,
And carry them in His bosom,
And gently lead those who are with young" Isaiah 40:11

"By You I have been upheld from birth;
You are He who took me out of my mother’s womb.
My praise shall be continually of You." Psalm 71:6

"And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him." 1 john 5:15

"The Lord is my strength and my shield;
My heart trusted in Him, and I am helped;
Therefore my heart greatly rejoices,
And with my song I will praise Him." Psalm 28:7

"The Lord will give strength to His people;
The Lord will bless His people with peace." Psalm 29:11

"You are my hiding place;
You shall preserve me from trouble;
You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah" Psalm 32:7

"The angel[a] of the Lord encamps all around those who fear Him,
And delivers them." Psalm 34:7

"How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!
Therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of Your wings." Psalm 36:7

" Be happy in the Lord. And He will give you the desires of your heart." Psalm 37:4

"Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us.  And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him." 1 John 5:14-15

"In the day when I cried out, You answered me,
And made me bold with strength in my soul." Psalm 138:3

"For you created my inmost being;
    you knit me together in my mother’s womb.
14 I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
    your works are wonderful,
    I know that full well.
15 My frame was not hidden from you
    when I was made in the secret place,
    when I was woven together in the depths of the earth.
16 Your eyes saw my unformed body;
    all the days ordained for me were written in your book
    before one of them came to be." Psalm 139:13-16

"So he said to me, “This is the word of the Lord to Zerubbabel: ‘Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the Lord Almighty." Zechariah 4:6

"He gives strength to the weary
    and increases the power of the weak.
30 Even youths grow tired and weary,
    and young men stumble and fall;
31 but those who hope in the Lord
    will renew their strength.
They will soar on wings like eagles;
    they will run and not grow weary,
    they will walk and not be faint." Isaiah 40:29-31

" Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God; and the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus." Philippians 4:6-7

"Surely he took up our pain
    and bore our suffering,
yet we considered him punished by God,
    stricken by him, and afflicted.
But he was pierced for our transgressions,
    he was crushed for our iniquities;
the punishment that brought us peace was on him,
    and by his wounds we are healed." Isaiah 53:4-5

"The Lord will fight for you; you need only to be still." Exodus 14:14

"Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours." Mark 11:24


I don't know if it was being so pregnant and due around christmas but I had such a deep respect for Mary during my last stretch of pregnancy and all that she went through. It really drove it home.

Mary’s Song

46 And Mary said:
“My soul glorifies the Lord
47     and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior,
48 for he has been mindful
    of the humble state of his servant.
From now on all generations will call me blessed,
49     for the Mighty One has done great things for me—
    holy is his name.
50 His mercy extends to those who fear him,
    from generation to generation.
51 He has performed mighty deeds with his arm;
    he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts.
52 He has brought down rulers from their thrones
    but has lifted up the humble.
53 He has filled the hungry with good things
    but has sent the rich away empty.”    Luke 1:46-53

Labor/Delivery Christian Playlist

The Prince is Here!
I have not talked about it much on here but my baby doll is here!
7 lbs 3 ounces 20 1/2 long
He's 2 weeks today
WOW

I haven't talked about it much on here only because I never got around to it not because 
I lacked anything to say :)
I was busy blabbing my mouth on instagram

Barrett was a successful VBAC.
For all you other VBAC or wannabe VBAC mommies I
know you know how big of deal that is.
How much research, time, tears, anxiety, and prayer you
poured over that upcoming birth.

I was so very prepared this time around for delivery so 
I thought I would make sure to share some of my resources I used for 
Labor/Delivery.
Eventually I'll write Baby Bear's Birth Story but for now I'm going to do 
the quicker thing and just share with you the "Peaceful" Christian playlist I 
used for Labor and delivery.  I put quite a bit of time and thought into this playlist wanting just 
the right words and mood to be set in the room. 
I think I won the Labor/Delivery playlist with this one...if there is such a thing as beating everyone else :)
I cannot tell you how much I know I will cherish these songs now
I think they bring me closer to the Lord after all of this then they helped me through labor...

Here are some lyrics that really stuck out to me from each song:

1) Love knows No End
"I know my help is in your name
In everything Held by hands
Of mercy I will run and not grow weary
I will rise in God my strength"

2) Oceans
"You call me out upon the waters
The great unknown, where feet may fail...
Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders
Let me walk upon the waters
Wherever You would call me
Take me deeper than my feet could ever wander
And my faith will be made strongerIn the presence of my Savior 

3) Still
"When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with you above the storm
Father you are king over the floodI will be still and know you are God"

4) My Hope Is In You 
"A peace that passes, understanding is my song and I sing
My hope is in You aloneI wait for You and my soul finds rest"

5) While Im Waiting 
"While I'm waiting I will worship
While I'm waiting I will not faint
I'll be running the race even while I wait
I'm waiting, I'm waiting on You Lord
And I am peaceful, I'm waiting on You Lord"


6) What A Savior
"Jesus, You are stronger More than any other
Hallelujah, what a SaviorJesus, You are higher
My souls deepest desire"

7) Safe and Sound
"Couldn't wait to meet you...
I get the funny feelingLife will never be the same
Safe & sound
You're here with me now
Like I hoped you'd be"

8) Yearn
"Holy design
This place in timeThat I might seek and find my God My God"

9) Forever Reign
You are good, You are good When there's nothing good in me
You are love, You are love On display for all to see
You are light, You are light When the darkness closes in
You are hope, You are hope"

10) You're Here (just in case he was born on christmas)
"You're here, I'm holding You so near 
I'm staring into the face of my Savior, King and Creator 
You could've left us on our own, but You're here"

11) How Deep the Fathers Love For Us
"How deep the Father's love for us,
How vast beyond all measure" 

12) Hope Now
"When my life is like a storm
Rising waters all I want is the shoreYou say I'll be ok and
Make it through the rainYou are my shelter from the storm"

13) Grace For Me
"This jar of clay and all its weakness;
Somehow inside dwells Your fullness.
Even though I’m not yet flawless,You are forming me"

14) Beautiful Things
"You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of the dust
You make beautiful things
You make beautiful things out of us"

15) In Your Arms
"When the waves dash against the boulders 
and my ships tossed on an angry sea i feel your 
hand rest gently on my shoulder you guide me home and seal the storm in me "

16) Carry Me Through
"There's a mountain
Here before me And I'm going to climb it
With strength not my ow nHe's gonna lead me
Or the mountain beats me Carry me through"

17) Mine to Love
 "Theres a weight off my shoulder
Theres laughter in the air
You are the answer to every midnight prayer
Youre mine to love
We have all been waitin on you"



18) You are for Me
"I know that You are for meI know that You are for meI know that 
You will never
Forsake me in my weakness"

19) God I Look to You
"God I look to You, I won’t be overwhelmed 
Give me vision to see things like You do 
God I look to You, You’re where my help comes from"

20) How He Loves
"I am unaware of these afflictions eclipsed by glory,
And I realise just how beautiful You are,
And how great Your affections are for me."

21) Only You
"Take my fret, take my fear
All I have, I'm leaving here"

22) On Fire
"And you're on fire when he's near you
You're on fire when he speaks
You're on fire burning at these mysteries"

And I'll leave you with some pictures...
