10 Scripture Promises for Pregnancy Anxiety

I think most people will know that generally, I can be a very anxious person! When I fell pregnant, it's like the anxiety was just turned up a notch...OR FIVE! Along with the emotional stress of going through my pregnancy practically on my own, I had so many worries about my little honey and googled every single thing I came into contact with, from food items to general environments and habits...just to be safe! I longed to feel peace and it was only until my perspective was challenged, that I discovered an amazing strategy to transform the mind and reduce anxiety.

It just requires training your brain + repetition and the result = Transformation!

I've actually experienced amazing decreased levels of anxiety when practicing positive habits, such as forgiveness, gratitude and meta-cognitive thinking processes. In a nutshell, this is simply shifting my thought idea - dead in its tracks, before it leads to a trail of negative thinking...and most importantly letting God's word take root in my heart to guide the shift in my default thinking.

So here's a few promises that I like to call the "Thought-Track Shifters:
