Pregnancy prayer/meditation recommendations

I am almost 37 weeks pregnant. Just for context-I am a SAHM with an almost 4 year old and a 2.5 year old. We also kind of “homestead” and have sheep, pigs, chickens, a barn cat and a livestock guardian dog to take care of on top of my husband’s full-time job and my husband building a home while we are currently in a mobile home.

This is the most burden I have ever had during a pregnancy in addition to all the normal pregnancy symptoms. I hardly had a break during second trimester because I was sick (viruses) multiple times.

I am so exhausted, and have such limited capacity mentally and physically. In some ways I have finally come to accept it and have done everything I can to make things easier, but almost every day is hard just with the kids and normal chores around the house.

I have had a healthy pregnancy, we have so many good things going for us right now and I have friends that would love to have a third baby but have not been able to so I hardly feel like I can complain, but I have such a hard time feeling physically bad and limited for this extent of time. It has been a stress on our marriage. It is mentally wearing, and I am sure I am not the only one who has ever felt this way, so I am wondering what specific prayers and devotionals I could focus on to continue enduring this season?
