The Best Bible Verses for Trying to Conceive (+ Free Printable)

Thank You for Sharing!

Inside: Waiting to get pregnant is hard and disappointing and faith-shaking. These 9 Bible verses for trying to conceive will sustain you and comfort you as you try to let go and trust God on your TTC journey.

Trying to conceive can be simultaneously exciting and downright devastating depending on what time of the month it is.

You start each month excited and eager to try to get pregnant, then ovulation comes and goes, and finally, the dreaded two-week-wait.

Anxiety and symptom watching.

More anxiety.

Then once again you get your period.

You see, I know this scenario well. We tried to conceive our first daughter for nearly 2 years (that was ROUGH).

And currently, we are almost 1 year out from miscarrying what was to be our second child, and we are eagerly – impatiently – waiting for what the Lord has in store for our family.

These verses have been a lifeline for me during these times of waiting on God’s timing for our family.

I know that God is faithful to do the same for you!

Why Does Trying to Conceive Have to Be So Hard?

THIS POST PROBABLY CONTAINS AFFILIATE LINKS. AS AN AMAZON ASSOCIATE, I EARN FROM QUALIFYING PURCHASES. YOU CAN READ OUR FULL DISCLOSURE POLICY HERE.

I feel like I’ve been (in one way or another) waiting to get pregnant for most of my marriage.

I have constant baby fever. Since… well, always.

I just love babies, and kids, and being motherly.

I love being pregnant and giving birth. After my first baby was born I knew I was in trouble.

My doctor even mentioned that I should have lots of children because of how much I love being pregnant and how well my natural birth went.

But it’s not easy for me to get pregnant.

How is that fair, right?

Regardless of how much I have wanted a baby over the last 4 years, God has chosen to let me wait on His timing. And, in retrospect, I am humbled by and amazed at His PERFECT timing.

God knows what He’s doing – big shock.

But, that doesn’t make the waiting any easier.

It’s like some kind of switch is turned on in a woman’s mind when she decides to try to conceive. And, it hurts.

It hurts every month when things aren’t working out.

The two-week-wait is painfully slow. And, the waiting of it all is just straight-up crappy.

I’m so thankful for God’s word – I am especially grateful in times that I’m waiting on God. He knows our every hurt, collects each tear, and sings over us.

These are the 9 Bible verses I kept coming back to over and over again while we were trying to conceive. I know that God will use these verses to comfort and uplift you, too, while you wait on Him.
