A Journey Through PregnancySample

Fear

Anxiety, if left unchecked, can snowball into fear, which is a dark place to live. It can be especially draining in a season that should be filled with wonder and excitement. 

I get it though. Sometimes when you feel a cramp, or don’t feel the baby move for a few hours, or think about how you’re going to afford childcare, fear can set in. I’ve had my own moments on this 40-week journey, and, as a parent, there’s a whole new level of concern for another that enters your life.

I would encourage you not to live in fear. You might experience small moments or glimpses of it, but don’t let the fear overwhelm you. Don’t let it steal your joy.

Remember that God is your strength and that He will uphold you. God is on your side and has the best for you in His heart. Lean into His strength and peace when worry and fear starts to creep in. That is your safe place and your refuge.
