What Does the Bible Say About Miscarriage?

Scripture reveals that God holds the life He gives, grieves with us in sorrow, and sustains us through devastation with a comfort that points beyond this world.

Scripture on Miscarriage

Job 1:21 Old Testament
"The Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; may the name of the Lord be praised."
Psalm 139:13-14 Old Testament
"For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well."
2 Corinthians 1:3-4 New Testament

If you haven't already, tell one person you trust about what you've lost. Miscarriage thrives in silence; naming it aloud—even once—is an act of honesty before God.

Prayer

Jesus wept at the tomb of Lazarus (John 11:35), and He invites you to bring your broken heart directly to Him.

Father, I don't have words for this loss. My baby was known by You before I knew they existed, and I'm devastated they're gone. I'm angry, confused, and some days I can barely breathe. Would You sit with me in this darkness? Show me that You grieve with me—that my baby mattered, that this isn't meaningless, and that You haven't abandoned me. Help me trust that You hold my child and hold me. Amen.
