Prayer To Unborn Baby
Pregnancy is such an incredible gift, and David and I are so thankful that God has allowed us to bring a new life in the world! I have loved tracking Baby Hodges’ growth and progress over the last nine months, but all of the check-ups and information can at times be overwhelming! I find myself worrying about our baby’s development: Is he growing like he is supposed to? Is his heart beat as strong as it should be? Am I prepared for labor? It has really helped me to pray for these specific concerns as each trimester brings new development for our baby and new aches and pains for me!

Grace Through Pain and Discomfort
Dear God, You know the ongoing difficulties that I have had with my pregnancy – morning sickness and other ailments that seem to have shadowed this pregnancy from the moment that I conceived.
I know that there is pain and problems that are connected with the joy of having a baby, and I don’t want it to appear that all I am doing complaining of feeling ill – when my heart is rejoicing that I am carrying this precious little life within me.
I ask that You would prevent me from having any more complications and illnesses as the time passes and give me the grace and strength I pray, to carry this baby to full term – with a spirit of joy and thanksgiving.
Your joy is indeed my strength and I claim this wonderful promise today – praying that You will support and strengthen me until that wonderful day when I hold my little baby in my arms. Thank You
A Growing Family
Lord,
I thank You for this baby and I give my pregnancy to You, praying that throughout the whole time You will be there to comfort and encourage and strengthen each member of the family.
I pray that You would place Your hand of blessing on this little human being that is being formed in my womb… may he or she grow up to know You and may they become a mighty person of God.
Thank You for all my children, which have become such a blessing to me – into Your hand I commit myself, my husband, my family and this precious little addition to our home – for which I praise You
My Baby
Thank you for choosing this baby to be my child, and me to be its mother. I know this is no accident.
– Psalm 139:13-16
My Pregnancy
Thank you for this day, your holy presence, and this new baby growing within me. Thank you for who you are – a loving, good, and trustworthy God. Oh God, thank you for being in control, and for the wonderful plan you have for our lives.

Through My Pregnancy
I pray for courage to make hard decisions, and the ability to rest in your perfect peace knowing that, in your strength, I am doing my best (Isaiah 41:10). Thank you for being my peace in the storm (Mark 4:39) and my purpose in life. I love you, Lord.
On My Due Date
This week is my due date.
I thank You for helping me make it to full term in my pregnancy.
I am looking forward to welcoming my baby into our home.
Lord, please help my baby come at just the right time.
Bless my labor and delivery.
Give the medical staff wisdom to make all the right decisions.
Help me be strong during delivery. Help me trust in You.
I pray that Your sweet presence would fill the room with joy as I deliver the baby and we welcome it into this world.
I choose to put my trust in you, God.
Be with me now and every moment of the day.
Let me be aware of Your presence with me.
Reveal Yourself more to me so I can know You and love You more.
Thank you.
Prayer works and it’s powerful. God says in the Bible that He works on our behalf when we pray. Now how amazing and freeing is that? Knowing you can lift up every body part of your baby and every bit of good and bad news to Him and He is going to take care of it! Praying during my pregnancy definitely helped give me a more peace of mind and helped ease all my fears and worries but even more than that it was a way for me to intercede on my baby’s behalf and give him a head start in his walk of faith. And I l believe that is the greatest gift I can give my unborn child.
I have been loving the book Praying Through Your Pregnancy by Jennifer Polimino and Carolyn Warren. It gives examples of specific pregnancy prayers to pray with scripture references. I especially love the Third Trimester prayers that have helped me get mentally ready for labor which could happen any day now. I hope these pregnancy prayers help to give you peace and patience like they have helped me.
Pregnancy Prayers for the First Trimester
First prayer
Dear Heavenly Father, Thank you for the child You are giving me. Thank you for this awesome miracle of new life. You are the only one who knows if I am having a boy or a girl, and whichever it is, I ask You to bless my baby with good health and with love. Lord, please help me feel well physically, and take away any morning sickness or other hardships that may make it hard for me to concentrate on You and this gift You are giving me. I pray against miscarriage, Jesus. I know how common it is, but I know You want me to have a healthy baby, and so I claim a healthy pregnancy, in Jesus’ name. I know love is the most important gift I can give my baby, so help me to be the most loving mother I can be. Father God, I want to be an extension of Your love. Use me to bring Your love into my child’s life. Anoint me to teach my child how to pray. Help me teach my child Your ways and Your Word. Help me to be a good role model. And again, I praise You for this wonderful miracle of life that’s growing inside me. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Baby’s brain
Dear Lord, I pray for my baby’s brain development. I pray that my baby will develop a healthy, intelligent brain. I pray now that this baby will grow normally, just as it is supposed to, according to Your plan for pregnancy. I pray that the cells will multiply and grow and that the brain and spinal cord will develop properly. Give my baby a strong spinal cord and a strong, intelligent mind. And because Your Word says, “Whatever you ask in My name, I will do” (John 14:13), I am obeying Your Word by asking You to bless my baby’s growth and make my baby healthy and strong. I also ask that You will bless my baby with an excellent memory. Lord, help me teach my baby to memorize Scriptures, and help my baby to memorize them easily and quickly. I pray that Bible verses will come to his or her memory quickly in times of need. I thank You for Your promise of giving us peace, so I don’t have to worry about something being wrong with my baby. I declare the power of Your Word and Your Holy Spirit to come to pass. May my baby’s brain develop just as it should, and may my child be blessed with a high IQ, to be used for Your glory. And, Lord, I pray that my son or daughter will grow up to be a person of prayer – that he or she will have faith and tap into Your power through prayer. I pray in the name of the Father God, Jesus Christ, and in the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Baby’s heart
Father God, I thank You for my baby’s heartbeat, and even though I can’t hear it yet, I know You can. Bless my baby’s heart and cause it to grow strong, just as it should be. Protect my baby’s heart from any defects or problems. Your Word says that in the beginning Your creative powers were at work. I acknowledge Your power and ask You to extend it to my baby also. Create a healthy baby, week by week, as he or she grows. And, Lord, give my child a heart to love and serve You. Give my child a tender heart, open to hearing Your voice, and to be kind and compassionate toward others. Please help me to be a good role model of these attitudes as well. Help me lead my child in prayer and in opening up our hearts to You to receive Your love. In Jesus’ name I pray. Amen.
Baby’s hands, feet, fingers, and toes
Dear Lord, I pray for my baby’s hands and fingers, feet and toes, that they will grow and develop properly. I pray for the elbows and wrists that are developing as well, they they will be good and strong and flex as they should. Please bless my baby’s hands and use them for the good of Your kingdom. Bless my baby’s feet and help my child to always walk with You, God. Lord, thank You for blessing each one of us with special gifts and talents. I pray that whatever my child does with his or her hands, he or she will do it well and use it for the ministry. Bless the work of my child’s hands. Help him to be diligent in his work so he may be viewed to have godly character. And, Lord, bless my child’s feet that they might go where You want them to go, for Your ministry. I know that every good and perfect gift comes from above, and I acknowledge You as our Creator and God. I praise You for all You have done and for all You will do. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Pregnancy Prayers for the Second Trimester
Baby’s legacy
Dear Lord, I thank You for making it to the second trimester this week! I praise You for the miracle of this baby I’m carrying. Truly, You are a great and wonderful Thank you for caring for my unborn baby, as You said in so many verses.

Help me to be a role model of these. Lord, I want to live in my life in harmony with You, so that I bring Your Spirit into our home and into my child’s life. Help me be the loving mother You want me to be. And, Lord, I also pray for the physical development of my baby. Please cause everything that is happening this week to develop properly. Psalm 139:13 says, “You created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb”. I thank You for this encouraging Scripture. Please knit together – cause to develop properly – every part of my baby’s being: body, soul, and spirit. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Baby’s voice
Dear Lord, I pray for my baby’s vocal cord development -– that his voice will develop properly. Help his mouth, throat, larynx and windpipe to form as they should. And, Lord, I pray that my child will grow up to be a person who is known for speaking words of life. Help my child to speak only positive, encouraging, and uplifting words, and to avoid gossip and criticism. Help me, too, so that I can be a good role model for godly speech. Please help me when I’m having a hard day, when I’m tired or when I’m angry, because I don’t want to say things I’ll regret later. Help me to hold my tongue. Thank you, Lord, that we can call on You for help. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
Baby’s eyes
Father God, I thank You for giving us spiritual insight through Your Word. I pray that my baby will grow to have sharp spiritual vision. May he experience Your calling on his life at an early age. Open the eyes of his heart and enlighten his mind with Your Word. Fill his life with the glorious riches that are the inheritance of Your people. As his mother, I stand for him in prayer and claim the promises in the Bible for him. And, Lord, I pray for my baby’s eyes that they will open and see this week or sometime very soon, according to what is right for his development. Please give my child perfect vision. If there is anything that threatens my baby’s sight, I ask You to heal him right now and create a perfect retina, optic nerve, and perfect interpretation of the image displayed in his brain. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
