A pregnant woman's prayer. Prayer for the birth of a healthy child for pregnant women

In ancient times, due to the lack of proper medicine, the only thing a woman could afford to maintain her pregnancy was prayer. Today, despite all the development, achievements and great opportunities in the field of obstetrics and gynecology, the task of preserving the child in the womb remains acute. About 20–25% of women lose their fetus during early stages. And at the same time, it is not always possible to identify the cause; sometimes doctors simply shrug their shoulders out of helplessness. The saddest thing is that no one is immune from this. That is why expectant mothers began to resort to prayer more often.

All roads lead to the temple

But sincere faith of the heart will always be more important than ritual. The Word of God says that God knows the heart. And if there is no faith, other actions simply lose meaning.

Turning to the Lord God will give a woman strength not only to overcome all problems on the path to great happiness, but will also give her faith that she will be able to bear and give birth to a healthy child.

“Almighty God, Creator of the visible and invisible! We resort to You, beloved Father, creatures gifted with reason, because by special advice You created our race, with ineffable wisdom creating our body from the earth and breathing the soul of Your Spirit into it, so that we could be in Your likeness.

It was in Your will to create us immediately as angels, if You wanted, but in Your wisdom it was desired that in the order You established through marriage, through a wife and a husband, the human race would multiply. You wanted to bless people, so that they multiply and grow. They filled both the earth and the hosts of angels.

O Father and God! May Your name be glorified and glorified forever for what you have done for us. I also thank You for Your mercy, that according to Your will, not only I myself came from Your wonderful creation and number of elected I replenish, but that You have deigned to bless me in marriage and sent me the fruit of the womb. This is Your gift, Your Divine mercy, O Father.

Therefore, I turn to You alone and I pray to You with a humble heart for help and mercy, so that what You do in me by Your power may be preserved and brought to a prosperous birth. For, O God, I know that choosing your path is not in human power and not in human strength. We are prone to fall and are too weak in spirit to escape those snares that the evil spirit lays for us, by Your permission.

We are weak to avoid the misfortune to which our frivolity can plunge us. Only Your wisdom is limitless. And whomever you wish, you will save from any misfortune. Therefore, I, Thy servant, O merciful Father, in my sorrow, commend myself into Thy hands and pray that Thou would look with the eye of mercy on me and save me from all suffering. Send us, my dear husband and me, joy, the joy of every Master.

So that when we see Your blessing, we worship You with all our hearts and serve You with a joyful spirit. I don’t want to be taken away from what You imposed on our entire family, commanding children to be born in illness. But I humbly ask You to help me endure suffering and send me a prosperous outcome.

And if You hear this prayer of ours, and send us a good and healthy child, we swear to bring him to You again, and dedicate him to You, so that for our seed and us You will remain a Father and a merciful God, so we, together with our child, swear as faithful servants you will always be.

Merciful God, hear the prayer of Your servants, fulfill the prayer of our hearts, for the sake of our Savior Jesus Christ, who became incarnate for us and reigns for eternity. Amen!"

In all faiths, a pregnant woman receives a special status. During the birth of a new life, a woman is cleansed of her previous sins and filled with spiritual purity, which protects her unborn child.

In addition to spiritual healing, prayer during pregnancy has the ability to calm, relieve unnecessary fears and set one in a positive mood. Besides, mother's prayer has extraordinary strength, capable of protecting the unborn baby from any adversity.

In the old days, pregnant women had to rely only on the will of God. Just before giving birth, a woman had to go to church and take communion. If the birth process began unexpectedly, and she did not have time to do this, the healers did not begin to deliver the child until Father appeared in the house. During the birth of the child, all family members prayed for his well-being.

Nowadays, many people remember the healing power of prayer only in a critical situation. But, despite the disbelief, every person secretly hopes for a miracle and it happens.
