Starting a family is something most couples desperately want, but it is not always easy. Many complications can arise for those who are trying to conceive and sometimes it just doesn’t seem fair. However, one way to pursue having a child is to ask for God’s blessing and His support while trying to conceive.
By letting God know how much you want a baby God will be able to see how committed you are to loving and raising your child. Since having a child is one of the most rewarding parts of life, it is a choice that should never be taken lightly. Despite the obstacles you might face when trying to conceive, asking for God’s guidance and support is the best way to start your own family. Here are some prayers to help you understand the magnitude of having a child and ask for God’s blessing for you to take on this wonderful responsibility.
Genesis 25: 21 Isaac prayed to the LORD on behalf of his wife, because she was childless. The LORD answered his prayer, and his wife Rebekah became pregnant.
Prayer
Heavenly Father, I come to you today and always your loving servant to ask of You a request to be able to conceive a baby. This is a reward that I will cherish with my life. I thank you for the blessings I have and for the blessing I am about to receive. I believe in Jesus’s name and do not take him for granted. I love you Lord with my whole heart and I know I am not forsaken or forgotten. Amen
Prayer For Grace Through A Difficult Pregnancy
Oh Father God, You know the ongoing difficulties that I have had with my pregnancy, not only the morning sickness but the other ailments that seem to have shadowed this pregnancy from the moment that I conceived.
Lord, I know that there are lots of pains and problems that are connected with the joy of having a baby, and I don’t want it to appear that all I am doing is to complain of feeling ill, when my heart is rejoicing that I am carrying this precious little life within me.
I ask that Father, that You would prevent me from having any more complications and illnesses as the time passes, and give me the grace and strength I pray, to carry this baby to full term, with a spirit of joy and thanksgiving.
Oh Father God, the joy of my Lord is indeed my strength and I claim this wonderful promise today, praying that You will support and strengthen me until that wonderful day when I hold my little baby in my arms. Thank You Father, Amen.
Prayer of Older Woman for Grace In Pregnancy
Loving Lord, I hardly know whether to laugh with joy like Sarah or cry in disbelief like Elizabeth’s husband Zacharias, when they discovered that they were to have a baby. Here I am thinking that my parenting days were long gone and I discover that I am pregnant once more!
Lord, I come humbly before You. I am not even sure that I am strong enough to bring up another child, but Lord my life is in Your hands and I pray that You would give me the wisdom and grace to go through this unexpected pregnancy, and the strength Lord, to start once again with sleepless nights and child-training.
A Fruitful Womb And The Blessing Of A Baby
Loving Father, I am fearfully and wonderfully made and I thank and praise You that You knew me before I was conceived by my mother. You formed and knitted me together and breathed life into me.
Father, You told Your children to be fruitful and multiply and I long to carry my own child in my womb and hold my own precious babe in my arms, but I have not yet conceived and this grieves me deeply.
Loving Lord, I know that You have scheduled every day of my life, and I pray that in Your goodness and grace You will enable me to conceive and bring into the world a little one that I may give back to You, just as Hannah gave her Samuel back into Your care.
Look down in love and pity me my barren womb and breath into me the breath of life, which was breathed into man at creation. Fill me to the fullness of Your joy so that I may bring forth a little baby.
I ask this in Jesus’ name, Amen.
Prayer After A Miscarriage
Dear God, I feel so sad as I have had a number of miscarriages. Each time I have been pregnant, I have lost the little baby that I was carrying. I hurt inside.
I feel so sad and pray that You will heal the hurt and enable me to conceive in my womb and carry a baby to full term.
Give me the strength and courage to try again for a baby, for Lord this is what I desire so much. Thank You that You are a God that hears and answers prayer, Amen.
