10 Bible Verses for New Mothers // August

August is here! Our baby girl's due date is at the end of the month, so we still have a little more time to prepare and reflect before she is expected to make her arrival.

At this point in my pregnancy, I feel ready for motherhood. I have always wanted to be a mom, so when my husband and I found out we were expecting, there was some understandable anxiety and worry, but mostly there was joyful anticipation.

Nevertheless, I have had my moments of worry during these last eight months - Will everything be ready? Am I ready to be a mother? Am I going to be good at this? Are we actually ready? The list goes on.

Here are 10 bible verses that I have come across over the months that I would like to share with you that have helped me emotionally and spiritually prepare for becoming a mom. Many of them can be applied to all aspects in life, yet they have helped me find peace and contentment as we wait in anticipation these last four weeks.
