I remember my heart pounding as I saw the blood on the toilet paper. I knew it couldn’t be good. Miscarriage is a painful time for those who experience it. Your dreams of having a baby have been dashed. You may feel like you don’t know what to say or how to pray. However, prayers for miscarriage can help you through this tough time.
Prayers from others can be comforting, but you will also want to empty out your hurt to God as well. While it’s hard, let’s talk about prayers to pray during your own miscarriage as well as prayers for someone who had a miscarriage. My hope is that these prayers provide comfort and peace during this difficult time.
Prayers for Miscarriage
As someone who has been through several miscarriages, I know it can be so hard. You get so excited about the new baby to come only to have your hopes and dreams dashed. In my own experience, it can be hard to trust in God’s plan in this devastating time, and no words that friends or family say help you feel better. Whether this is your first miscarriage or you’ve had many, the grieving process is hard.
However, I have found that you can have comfort for miscarriage in the sadness. God’s Word has many encouraging Bible verses, but prayer is also powerful as you work through the loss. You don’t need to have all the right words to say as you go through this hard time, but know that God’s loving arms are around you the whole time.
Maybe you aren’t the one who has suffered a miscarriage, but you’re wondering how to pray for a friend. Can I just tell you how comforting it is to know someone is praying for you during the pain of sorrow? Be sure to let your friend or family member know since your prayers will be such a word of comfort to them during their pain of miscarriage. Be sure to ask them how you can specifically be praying for them.
Miscarriage Prayers
When a miscarriage happens, it feels as though a part of you has died. You may feel confused, hurt, and angry as well as devastated. All these emotions are normal as you learn to cope with your miscarriage. That’s why I want to share some miscarriage prayers to give you the strength to mourn your loss and the hope that you will see your child again in heaven one day.
How do you pray after a miscarriage? Honestly, the more open the better. Pour out to God all your hurts and pain. Ask Him your questions. He wants to hear from you. He’s with you every step of the way.
These sample prayers for after miscarriage are to help you get started. I pray that they give you some comfort and speak truth to you in your time of grief. Feel free to use these as a springboard for longer prayers of your own.
"O Lord, I don't even know what to say right now, but You know my pain. You see me and are with me even now. I just don't understand why this has happened. I wanted this baby so badly, but I know that You will work for my good even in this. I don't see it, but help me to trust You in the midst of death anyway. Take my hurt and my pain, and bring me comfort and peace instead. Use this to pull me closer to You. In Jesus's name, Amen."
"O God, we come before You with heavy hearts. We have experienced the loss of a child through miscarriage and we are struggling. We know that You are a loving God and You care for us, but it's really hard to see Your plan right now. Help us to trust that Your ways are beyond ours. Help us to feel your peace and comfort during this difficult time. You are with us every step of this mourning process, and we're thankful that we will see our sweet baby in heaven someday. In the Name of Jesus I pray, amen."
“Dear God, I’m so broken right now with the loss of my child! I just don’t understand. We were so excited for a healthy baby, but now our dreams are in pieces. Help me to trust You even in the pain. Help me to see that You are good all the time, not just in the easy times. Carry me through this and help me to lean totally on You. I can’t get through this without You. Amen.”
Miscarriage prayers for a friend
Praying for someone who is going through a miscarriage can be difficult. You may feel like you don’t know what to say or how to help them. However, prayer is one of the best things you can do for their broken heart. Sometimes your friend won’t even really be in a place to pray. She may be hurt and angry at God for a while. What an amazing friend you can be to intercede on her behalf!
Here are some sample prayers to pray for a friend who is miscarrying:
"Lord God, we come to You in prayer for our friend who is experiencing a miscarriage. We pray that You will comfort her and give her strength during this difficult time. We know that You are with her, and she is not alone. We ask that You would surround her with Your love and peace. We pray for healing for both her body and her heart. We thank You that You are a God of hope, and we ask that You would give our friend hope during this time. In Jesus' Name, Amen."
"Dear Heavenly Father, we pray for our friends who are grieving the loss of a child through miscarriage. Bring them peace in the midst of their pain and sorrow. Wrap Your arms around them and let them feel Your presence and love. Draw them closer to you through this time than they ever thought possible. Amen."
