A Prayer for a Healthy Pregnancy

Pregnancy can bring so much joy, but it can also leave you wondering and worrying about how your baby is growing. Take a quiet moment to place your pregnancy, your baby, and the months ahead into God’s hands.

A PRAYER FOR A HEALTHY PREGNANCY

Lord, Watch Over My Pregnancy and My Baby

Father,

Thank You for this little life growing inside me.

There is so much about pregnancy that I cannot see or control, and sometimes that uncertainty makes it difficult to simply enjoy this season. Today, I bring my pregnancy and my baby to You.

Please watch over my baby as they grow.

Protect this little life and guide every part of their development. Give my baby what they need to grow healthy and strong, and carry us safely through each stage of this pregnancy.

Please watch over my body too.

Give me strength for the changes, discomforts, and tired days. Help my body do the work it was created to do, and give me wisdom to care for myself and my baby well.

When I find myself worrying about symptoms, appointments, test results, or everything that could go wrong, quiet my thoughts.

Remind me that I do not have to live this pregnancy one fearful possibility at a time.

Help me take each day as it comes.

Let me be grateful for the good moments instead of rushing past them with worry. Help me notice the little milestones, the growing belly, the first movements, and all the quiet reminders that this baby is already deeply loved.

When there are things I cannot know yet, help me trust You with them.

When I have questions, give me wisdom.

When I am afraid, give me peace.

And when the waiting feels long, remind me that You are with me in it.

I place my baby, my body, and the rest of this pregnancy into Your hands.

Watch over us, guide us, and give me grace to walk through this season one day at a time.

Amen.

“For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb.”

— Psalm 139:13
