Bible Verses for Unplanned Pregnancy

Looking at What Scripture Says About Unplanned

God's Design Before Birth

Mary's pregnancy was the most significant unplanned pregnancy in history — young, unmarried, with no human explanation available. Her response — "be it unto me according to thy word". Something I've come to believe. Is the model for receiving what wasn't planned. Psalm 139:13 uses cakak (to weave, to knit intricately) for the formation of the child in the womb — unplanned to the parent doesn't mean unplanned to the one who wove the child in secret. Jeremiah 1:5 establishes that God's knowing of the child preceded conception — the pregnancy that was a surprise to the parents was not a surprise to God. Philippians 4:19 uses plerosai (to fill completely), provision calibrated to the actual need, not to the plan.
