I've leaned on God since birth, and I lean on Him now.

A Bible affirmation for pregnancy, rooted in Psalm 71:6.

I have leaned on You since birth; You pulled me from my mother’s womb. My praise is always for You.

Psalm 71:6 · BSB

Reflection

The writer of this psalm, now old, looks back and says he has leaned on God since birth. Pregnancy can make you feel how much is out of your control. You can keep leaning on the One who has held you all along.

A prayer

God, I'm leaning on You through this pregnancy. Carry me and my baby.
