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

    My name is Logeish and my wife is sarani. We have been trying for a baby for a year but to no avail. We are praying hard and trying hard to conceive. Every month we struggle when realise nothing happened. It has been extremely taxing on our marriage. Please pray for us. We really want a child. Dear heavenly father, hear our desperate cry for a baby, in Jesus mighty Name I pray for You with a child of our own. Let us enjoy the reward of having a baby. In Jesus Name I pray. Amen

      Praying for you and your wife, Logeish. I know it is so hard to hope through infertility. I pray that you will feel God carrying you both as you wait and hope.

    Please pray for me and my husband to conceive. I’ve been trying for over four years. I truly believe in the promises of God. I’m showing signs of pregnancy as I’m six weeks late but I don’t want to go through the disappointment every time I find out I’m not. So please pray me strength, faith, and trust in God that I will see the promises of the Lord here on Earth.

      Praying for you, Janae. I know it is so hard to keep hope alive when you have been waiting and wanting for so long. May God’s peace surround you, now and always.

    Hi, I feel incredibly blessed and grateful that I have one beautiful daughter who is just amazing but she struggles being an only child and would love a sibling. I tried for a year to get pregnant with my first and I have had no luck for 6 years trying for a second. I believe in god’s will for us and will accept it if I am not meant to have a second child but I do have faith in the power of prayer and would be so grateful if you could pray for me to conceive. I was touched to read other strong females struggles and I pray for you all. God bless and thank you for this site to share our experiences.

      Praying for you and your family, Ami. I know it is so hard to hope when all the signs seem to point otherwise. But I pray that you will see in your daughter all the good and possibility that God can do – and that you will know God’s encouragement and comfort with you as you keep going.
