Overcome Fear of Pain During Childbirth


We often hear that childbirth is extremely painfulâsome even call it "level-10 pain." Many hospitals provides epidural anesthesia to ease the pain. But apart from medical help, is there another way to experience a painless, supernatural delivery?
We believe that when we focus our eyes on God and his Word throughout the process of childbirth, we may experience his help and supernatural power. With God, nothing is impossible.
Let us practice speaking truth to ourselves and boldly declare: âGod is my help, I will not fear.â The fear of pain must bow down in the name of Jesus.
This is a time to trust God, experience him, and stretch our faith. Let us treasure this sacred moment and partner with God! We encourage you to meditate on and memorize some scriptures throughout pregnancy until delivery, as the Word of God is the sword of the Spirit. It will help renew our minds and lead us to walk in the way of faith! When faith arises in our heart, all fear must go and joy will come!
Stand firm in faith, knowing that God is with us during childbirth

We have this desire to experience supernatural childbirth. May your power rest upon us, and may you remove all pain and grant us divine peace during the process.
All fear is a lie. The spirit who dwells in us is not a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind. We boldly declare that through Christ we are more than overcomers, and the Lord is our helpâwe will not fear! Not by might, not by power, but by your spirit!
Father God, may you prepare our body, soul, and spirit to be ready to deliver the baby. May this childbirth process glorify your name!
In the name of Jesus we pray. Amen!
