A Prayer for Trying to Conceive

God of faith,
Hear the deepest prayer of our hearts,
for a child to be ours.
Help us to believe
even when we wrestle with doubt,
even when months pass empty,
even when darkness threatens our joy
that your promise of love for us
remains faithful, good, and true.

God of hope,
Hold our dreams for a child
within your loving hands.
Fill our hearts with hope,
and lift our eyes to look to you.
When worries creep into our thoughts,
let your light cast out every fear.

God of love,
Help us to trust when times get trying,
that this journey will bring us closer to you,
no matter where our road turns or ends.
Bless our dreams for a family,
and draw us deeper in love together
as we wait in joyful hope
for a child to welcome with love.

God of faith and hope and love,
let your will be done.

Amen.

And now faith, hope, and love abide, these three;
and the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13

    In April, we lost our baby, Noah at 37.5 weeks old. We are trying again, and ask God for the ability to conceive. We are in your mercy. We miss him everyday and ask to bless us with being pregnant again. Amen.

      Praying for you and your husband. I know it is so hard to keep trying. I pray that God will lift you up and give you hope.

  5. Tammy on 21 September 2015 at 9:14 pm

    My husband and I have been trying to conceive for about 6 years. He has 2 boys, but I have no children of my own. I’m so angry with God. Why does he give such a miracle to women that don’t even take care of their babies? I don’t understand. When will it be my turn?

    • motheringspirit on 26 September 2015 at 7:44 pm

      Oh Tammy, I am so sorry to hear of your struggles. I don’t understand God’s ways, either. I don’t think any of us do – or can. But I will be praying for you – for the hopes of your heart, for your righteous anger, for peace of mind and hope even in the darkness. It is terribly hard. But you are not alone. And I am grateful that you shared your story here so that I and others can pray for you.

    Hi Laura,

    I am trying to conceive for the second time since three months. I am very confident about myself, have faith in myself. When the time of the month comes, I cry because I have to try again. I try best to keep myself calm and determined. Please someone help before I lose all my patience.

    I believe I will conceive my baby in me in happiness.

    hello there,

    It’s me, Laia. I would like to bear a child with my partner Tony. I know that mothering is a serious and difficult task and I am responsible and feel committed to our Lord. I am undergoing through a process of healing now before I get pregnant.
    Please say a prayer for us that things will turn out fine and that we may be able to achieve our goals.
    Thank you so very much for your web and advice.
    Much Love from Catalonia, Spain.

        please pray for my sister jasmin lazala. She’s been married 13 years and tried to have a baby all that time, to no avail. She’s just completed 2nd round of IUI and went for blood test this morning and i’m hoping that when they call her at 12 or 1p that they’ll have good news for her. My heart breaks for her everytime she gets a negative answer. She’s a wonderful aunt to my 4 children and would be an incredible mother. please,. please pray that today’s news is wonderful. In gods name. Jackie A
