12. Feeling Anxious About Adding to Your Family or Going Through Pregnancy? 3 Biblical Reminders to Root You In Truth

Have you ever felt a wave of fear or anxiety hit you after seeing those two pink lines? The reality of living in a changing body, the possibility of sickness, the timing of adding to your family wasn't what you had planned... Maybe you’re further along in your pregnancy, and doubt is creeping in about how you’ll manage another little one or even just handle one baby if this will be your first... Hey. I see you, friend. And so does our gracious, Heavenly Father -- and today, I want to bring you three truth-filled reminders to anchor your heart back where it belongs—on the Lord, His Word & the steady hope we have in Him through His perfect love & unwavering care for us.  In this episode, you'll hear me talk about: ✨ The first and most powerful thing to do when fear arises—pray! (Yes, it’s simple, but it's also easy to lay aside if we're not intentional) ✨ A reminder that God is not surprised by your pregnancy—His plans are always good and we can trust Him in His timing, always. ✨ The Biblical truth that children are a blessing, not a burden (even if raising them IS hard and requires sacrifice), no matter what culture tries to say.   📖 Scriptures Referenced: 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 – “Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.” 1 Peter 5:7 – “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.” Romans 8:28 – “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” Isaiah 40:11 – “He tends his flock like a shepherd: He gathers the lambs in his arms and carries them close to his heart; he gently leads those that have young.” Psalm 103:14 – “For he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.” Psalm 127:3 – “Behold, children are a heritage from the Lord, the fruit of the womb a reward.” Exodus 1:7 – “But the Israelites were exceedingly fruitful; they multiplied greatly, increased in numbers and became so numerous that the land was filled with them.” Mama, you are not alone in this. Your Father sees you, knows you, and will provide for you.
