Prayers for Pregnant Women
Prayer for a Pregnant Woman
O Father,
I carry within me,
New promise.
I cherish the very breath of creation within me.
Stirring within my womb, growing and changing each day,
I am amazed by this tiny miracle,
By the wonder of this little life.
I wrap us both in your love.
We cuddle up to your promises,
We snuggle beside your hope.
We are covered by truth,
And protected by your almighty hand.
We sleep with peace,
We sing with the angels,
And rest in you always.
Amen.

Prayer for safe delivery
(for a pregnant woman in labor)
Father God, who placed the stars in the sky,
Who created seas of blue and causes each flower to bloom.
I know you love me and have watched this new little life I carry.
Come lay your gentle hand upon us as we draw near to the birth.
Fill our hearts with excitement,
Cover our lives with hope.
Guide us through labor,
Into a new season.
I give you both my joys and fears,
And choose to put my trust in you.
I trust in you to shelter us both,
Mother and child, within your safe arms.
Amen.
