Mary: The Expecting MommaSample

Mary was a woman of praise! She sang when she met Elizabeth. 

Praise shifts the atmosphere, and it heightens our awareness of God's presence. 

I have not been depressed or anxious in a long time. Usually, my depression or anxiety stems from my impatience and fixation on my inadequacies and challenges. When I praise God, my mind is on God's grace, greatness, and goodness. Thus, my soul magnifies the Lord, and anxiety or depression loses its grip on me. Praising God is how I break depression and anxiety. Praising God can help you rise above perinatal depression and anxiety.

Praise God, the creator of the child in your womb. Praise God, the one who gives strength to the weak. Like Mary, praise God for the privilege to mother your child.

Please take a moment and sing Mary's song of praise (Luke 1:46-55) in your little one’s nursery or sleeping space.
