Whether you’re praying to get pregnant, praying for a current pregnancy, praying about pregnancy complications, or praying for a pregnant friend, I’ve got you! I’ve been in each of these situations at some point during my life. These prayers for pregnancy will be sure to get you started with your own prayers.
Prayer is such an important part of the Christian life. We need to lay all of our burdens on God and not carry them ourselves. Sometimes that’s easier said than done though, right? It can be especially hard when we’re experiencing hardship or a surprise situation. Thankfully, the Holy Spirit intercedes for us, but these pregnancy prayers will be a great start!
Prayers for Pregnancy
I always loved being pregnant! However, after some losses, I realized what a miracle each new life is. Because of that, I want to guide you through some prayers for pregnancy. As I mentioned, these will cover a variety of situations, but I pray these are a blessing and comfort to you as you pursue pregnancy or rejoice in a new baby.
Miracle prayer for pregnancy
Are you praying for the miracle of pregnancy? You’ve been trying to have a baby and it just hasn’t happened yet? While I can’t speak from a place of never having been pregnant, I was open to more children after our last child. In fact, I definitely did plenty of praying for another baby. The past six years have given me a taste of infertility and that miracle prayer for pregnancy.
"Lord, You know my heart's desire to have a baby of my own. Every single month it's devastating when I realize I'm not pregnant yet again. I know that You have a plan for me. Help me to trust in You no matter what, but I also know that You want us to ask for gifts from You. I'm asking for a baby. Please balance what needs to be balanced, and help me to be able to get pregnant and carry a baby. Please give me a miracle! Amen."
Prayer for safe pregnancy
Whether you truly realize it or not, pregnancy is such a precious gift and miracle from God. Those who have lost babies or have had trouble getting pregnant realize this for sure. Each new pregnancy is something to thank God for. This prayer for safe pregnancy will do just that.
"Father God, I am so excited about this new baby! I know what a miracle this new life is.It's one of the greatest gifts! Please keep me and my baby in good health during this pregnancy.

In Jesus' Name I ask this, Amen."
Prayer for healthy pregnancy and safe delivery
Prayers for a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery are common pregnancy prayers, but that doesn’t make them any less important. As already mentioned, pregnancy is such a miracle, so it’s good to be bringing a new pregnancy to the Lord.
"Dear Heavenly Father, I know that not all pregnancies end in a healthy baby, but I'm so excited about the life that You've given me. You alone are the giver of life. I'm asking You for a healthy pregnancy and safe delivery for this baby. So many things can go wrong, but I'm trusting in You. Please protect this baby throughout this whole pregnancy and beyond.

Prayer for pregnant friend during pregnancy
Having a friend who is pregnant is a great time to celebrate! Friends also need support during pregnancy and beyond, so what better way to support your pregnant friend than to pray for her and her baby? Be sure to support her in this way throughout the whole pregnancy.

Minimize her morning sickness and other pregnancy symptoms and help her to be able to take care of herself as she carries this baby. Help me to be supportive as she needs it.
