Gravidez e maternidade
Gravidez e maternidade são bênçãos celebradas na Bíblia. Deus forma cada criança no ventre, cuida da mãe e da família, e abençoa a geração dos justos.

You are the one
who put me together
inside my mother’s body,
and I praise you because of
the wonderful way
you created me.
Everything you do is marvelous!
Of this I have no doubt.
Nothing about me
is hidden from you!
I was secretly woven together
out of human sight,
but with your own eyes you saw
my body being formed.
Even before I was born,
you had written in your book
everything about me.
Children are a blessing
and a gift from the Lord.
The Lord is the one
who makes birth possible.

Listen to my prayer
and hurry to save me.
Be my mighty rock
and the fortress
where I am safe.
I feel hopeless,
and I cry out to you
from a faraway land.
Lead me to the mighty rock
high above me.
The Lord cares for his nation,
just as shepherds care
for their flocks.
He carries the lambs
in his arms,
while gently leading
the mother sheep.
You survivors in Israel,
listen to me, the Lord.
Since the day you were born,
I have carried you along.
I will still be the same
when you are old and gray,
and I will take care of you.
I created you. I will carry you
and always keep you safe.

"Could a mother forget a child
who nurses at her breast?

and just as an olive tree
is rich with olives,
your home will be rich
with healthy children.
