A Pregnancy Thanksgiving prayer
Father Lord,
I thank You for giving me the opportunity to conceive this baby. Thank You for seeing me worthy of this beautiful miracle and for entrusting me with the gift of new life.I am in awe of Your power and grace, and I give You all the glory. Whether this journey came easily or after a long wait, I acknowledge that it is only by Your hand that this life has come to be.
I pray for strength and good health throughout this pregnancy. Carry me through each trimester with Your peace, and let my body be strong to nurture the child within me. Let Your hand be upon this baby growing inside me, guide and protect this precious life from all harm, known and unknown.
I speak life, joy, and blessings into this pregnancy. I come against every form of attack – physical, spiritual, or emotional – against me or my child. No weapon formed against us shall prosper.
Lord, may this baby be a blessing to my life and to the lives of many. Let him or her grow in wisdom, strength, and purpose, and let this journey draw me closer to You.
In Jesus’ name,
Amen.
Scriptures to Meditate On During Your Pregnancy Journey
Here are a few verses to encourage you and remind you of God’s promises as you carry this new life within you:
Psalm 139:13-14
“For You formed my inward parts;
You covered me in my mother’s womb.
I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made;
Marvelous are Your works,
And that my soul knows very well.”
This verse reminds us that God has formed and known your baby before the foundation of the world. The life growing inside you is a miraculous work of God’s hands.
Isaiah 66:9
“Shall I bring to the time of birth, and not cause delivery?” says the Lord.
“Shall I who cause delivery shut up the womb?” says your God.”
God promises to bring your pregnancy to full term, and He will be with you every step of the way. Trust in His faithfulness.
Jeremiah 29:11
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, says the Lord, thoughts of peace and not of evil, to give you a future and a hope.”
As you wait for the birth of your child, know that God’s plans for you and your baby are full of hope and a bright future.
Exodus 23:25
“So you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you.”
Trust God to protect you from sickness and harm during this time, and to bless both you and your baby with health and strength.
Pregnancy is a beautiful journey that brings with it many emotions, but through it all, we must hold onto faith in God’s goodness and His perfect timing. No matter the challenges or uncertainties you may face, know that God is with you and your child every step of the way. He has entrusted you with this new life, and He will give you the strength, wisdom, and peace you need to bring your baby into this world.
Remember to lean on God’s promises, seek His protection, and continue to offer up prayers of thanksgiving throughout your pregnancy. As you prepare for this incredible new chapter, trust that the Creator of life is also the One who will guide you through every moment of this journey.
May your pregnancy be filled with joy, peace, and abundant blessings.
