A Simple, Powerful Prayer for Pregnancy

Let this simple, yet powerful prayer for pregnancy guide you on your journey. I pray that it would soften your heart to the Lord and never become something to “just check off the list” (Hosea 6:6).

Father God, thank you for this day, your holy presence, and this new baby growing within me. Thank you for who you are – a loving, good, and trustworthy God. Oh God, thank you for being in control, and for the wonderful plan you have for our lives (Jeremiah 29:11). You are so good!

Thank you for choosing this baby to be my child, and me to be its mother. I know this is no accident (Psalm 139:13-16)!

I pray that this pregnancy would increase my faith and that my walk with you would grow even deeper. Lord, above all I want to draw closer to you and to please you (Hebrews 11:6). Help my unbelief.

God, there are so many thoughts swirling around in my mind, it’s hard to stay focused on you and what’s most important (Luke 10:41-42). However, in your word you say that if I lack wisdom and ask for it, you will give generously without thinking less of me (James 1:5).

Lord, I pray for wisdom with these new and unfamiliar circumstances I’m navigating through during this pregnancy. God please help me to choose the right people to be around me during this time. Help me to find the right advisors, and sift through all the noise (Proverbs 24:6).

I pray for courage to make hard decisions, and the ability to rest in your perfect peace knowing that, in your strength, I am doing my best (Isaiah 41:10). Thank you for being my peace in the storm (Mark 4:39) and my purpose in life. I love you, Lord.

I pray all these things in your son’s name, amen.
