Praying Through Your Pregnancy

Give your growing baby the greatest gift of all: your prayers.

 

Pregnancy is a time of great preparation. We prepare the nursery for the baby, we prepare our families to welcome a new member, we prepare our bodies to bring a sweet new life into the outside world. Even as we prepare these physical things, we can prepare our hearts. Praying Through Your Pregnancy shows how.

 

This week-by-week guide is the perfect prayer handbook for this special time in your life. Each chapter reveals what is happening with your baby's development that week, starting with the very first moment of conception. You'll discover how to reduce stress and anxiety by placing your confidence in God for the healthy development of your precious growing baby. Journaling space helps you remember in years to come how God was at work at every stage. And each chapter contains a special list of Scripture verses to guide further prayer and meditation on God's Word.
