Remember that Mr. Roger's song?? :-D

I'm going to start putting encouraging Bible verses on colored index cards for when I'm in labor. Can you all give me a few of your favs??

thanks!!!

What a good idea, Kate! My favorite verse is "Now to Him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish infinitely more than all we can ask or imagine, to Him be the glory" Ephesians 3:20-21 (first part of 21 only) emphasis is mine. :D

2 Sa 22:33 God is my strength and power: and he maketh my way perfect.

Ps 18:2 The LORD is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer; my God, my strength, in whom I will trust; my buckler, and the horn of my salvation, and my high tower.

Ps 22:19 But be not thou far from me, O LORD: O my strength, haste thee to help me.

Ge 35:17 And it came to pass, when she was in hard labour, that the midwife said unto her, Fear not; thou shalt have this son also. (just change son to daughter)

Ru 3:11a And now, my daughter, fear not; I will do to thee all that thou requirest:

Ooooo, Dh and I have soooo many, I will try and remember them next time I come to work. I picked some out, but they were SOOOOOOOOOOO long and really, who can concentrate that long while in labor? Haahaa, Dh's were way better!

Blessings,

This is the one I used as my focal point...

Psalm 127:3 "Children are a gift from the Lord, they are a reward from Him."

Come to me all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light." Matthew 11 28-30


For God is greater than our hearts, and he knows everything. 1 John 3:20


The lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He will not grow tired or weary, and his understanding no one can fathom. He gives strength to the weary and increases the power of the weak. Even youths grow tired and weary, and young men stumble and fall; 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 40:28-31


Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in. Rev 3:20


The entire 23rd Psalm :-D


Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect. 1 Peter 3:15


Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7



For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him. 2 Chron 16:9


Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. These commandments that I give you today are to be upon your hearts. Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deut 6:4-7

Thanks, Ladies!! Some that you mentioned, I had written down already, but others I will write down!!

Habakkuk 3:18- 19

Yet I will rejoice in the Lord; I will exult in the [victorious] God of my salvation!
