Becoming a parent is… as simple as it sounds… life changing. These bible verses for new new parents will help you focus on Jesus. It is a roller coaster ride of indescribable ups and downs with unpredictable turns and jolts. It is also full of sweet moments of calm between the dips and turns. The ride can get a little crazy. Sometimes it will feel like the baby is at the wheel… but remember to surrender to Jesus and let Him drive.

I wanted to share some verses that have helped us as we became new parents this year.

10 Bible Verses for New Parents

1. “I prayed for this child, and the Lord has granted me what I asked of him.  So now I give him to the Lord. For his whole life he will be given over to the Lord.” And he worshiped the Lord there. (1 Samuel 1:27–28)
