How to Pray for Your Unborn Baby

How Do I Pray for My Baby?

There is no right or wrong way to pray. The Lord simply wants to hear what’s on your heart! However, if you need some help coming up with the words to say, I always suggest following the applicable guidelines of the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13.

  • Praise God for your baby
  • Surrender your baby to His will
  • Ask the Lord to give your baby everything he/she needs (health, resources, protection, etc.)
  • Ask God to protect your baby from all temptation and evil

Lastly, always end your prayers “in Jesus’ name!”

Why? Because John 14 tells us that “whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.

What Does God Say About Babies in the Womb?

Here are three encouraging Bible verses about babies inside the womb! (I’ve bolded some of the most significant points to note!)

  • Jeremiah 1:5 — “Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart; I appointed you as a prophet to the nations.”
  • Psalm 139:13-16 — “For you created my inmost being; you knit me together in my mother’s womb. I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.“
  • Galatians 1:15 — “But when God, who set me apart from my mother’s womb and called me by his grace, was pleased…”

Is My Baby a Gift From God?

Yes, your baby is absolutely a gift to you from God, no matter the circumstance. James 1:7 tells us that “every good and perfect gift is from above,” and that’s exactly what your baby is.

Even if you don’t feel like your baby is a blessing right now, once you get to know the baby and experience the innate love God put inside of you for him or her, you will see that he or she truly is a good and perfect gift.

Side note: I was entirely freaking out when I found out I was pregnant. You can read all about how I got through it in my first trimester recap.
