Inside: Have you recently experienced the devastation that is miscarriage or late pregnancy loss? These Bible verses for miscarriage can free you to grieve your loss (because it IS a loss) and restore hope for the future.
I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss.
Lamentations 3:20
Miscarriage is hard. What makes it even more difficult is the silent nature of this grief…and the fact that so few understand what you’re going through.
Having experienced miscarriage myself, I know your pain. I’ve felt it – that deep, gut-wrenching grief where you aren’t sure if you’ll ever feel whole again.
The grief that separates you from friends and family and even your husband because you just don’t know how to let them in, how to communicate the pain you’re going through.
But you know who you can let in? Who knows your pain even better than you know it yourself?
God. He knows.
The Bible is filled with verses designed to speak to grieving people, to voice the things you’re thinking and feeling.
I believe that God wanted to give you words to express your pain, even when you don’t have the words. He also offers hope in these Bible verses because that’s who He is: hope.
He is the giver of hope, the restorer of the broken. He brings beauty from the ashes, and He wants to meet you in your pain today.

1. Lamentations 3:17-24, NLT
Peace has been stripped away and I have forgotten what prosperity is. I cry out, “My splendor is gone! Everything I had hoped for from the Lord is lost!”
The thought of my suffering and homelessness is bitter beyond words. I will never forget this awful time, as I grieve over my loss.
Yet I still dare to hope when I remember this: The faithful love of the Lord never ends! His mercies never cease.
Great is his faithfulness; his mercies begin afresh each morning. I say to myself, “The Lord is my inheritance; therefore, I will hope in him!”
Jesus, I am hurting. In one hand, I hold my hurt for my pregnancy loss and in the other, I hold the hope of Your faithfulness. Help me to hope in You! Amen.
2. Psalm 23:1-4, NLT
The Lord is my shepherd; I have all that I need. He lets me rest in green meadows; he leads me beside peaceful streams.
He renews my strength. He guides me along right path, bringing honor to his name.
Even when I walk through the darkest valley, I will not be afraid for you are close beside me.
Your rod and your staff protect and comfort me.
God, I trust you that you are making a place for me to rest and to grieve, that you are with me in my darkest valley, even if it doesn’t feel like it. I receive the comfort you are offering me. Amen
3. Lamentations 3:32-33, NIV
Though he brings grief, he will show compassion, so great is his unfailing love. For he does not willingly bring affliction or grief to anyone.
God, thank you that you will show me compassion in my time of sorrow. Great is your unfailing love to me! Amen.
4. 2 Corinthians 4:17-18, NLT
For our present troubles are small and won’t last very long. Yet they produce for us a glory that vastly outweighs them and will last forever!
So we don’t look at the troubles we can see now; rather, we fix our gaze on things that cannot be seen. For the things we see now will soon be gone, but the things we cannot see will last forever.
Lord, reading this scripture stings. This loss is HUGE to me and I can’t see past this pain. But, God I will trust in your plan for my life. Help me to cling to your promise that this pain will be small in comparison to the glory that is to come. Amen.
When looking at the sheer weight of unseen glories to come, my troubles seem light in comparison; and when looking at the staggering length of eternity, my troubles seem fleeting by comparison.
