Petition of a pregnant woman to Heaven for a healthy child

A child is perhaps the most important thing in the life of most people. Children and the path of their parents illuminate, and give their lives a special, deep meaning. Without them, everything on earth loses its meaning. Any girl at least once, but in her dreams imagined herself a mother. For some, God gives the realization of this dream quickly, others wait for it for years. Sometimes you have to make incredible efforts to get such a desired result.

Even when it becomes clear that life has already begun, things don't go smoothly in the following months. Sometimes the future mother is tormented not only by the ill-fated toxicosis, but even by such unpleasant things that the question arises of the danger to the unborn child, up to the termination of pregnancy. There may be panic, a strong lack of confidence in one's abilities, excessive suspiciousness, and so on. This is where faith comes to the aid of the whole family.

Turning to Christ will help the expectant mother to easily step over all problems in order to reach her happiness. She will give faith in her abilities, that everything will be fine, and the child will be born strong and healthy.

Prayer for the preservation of the child of St. Matronushka

The request to help protect the fetus from negative influences and give birth to a healthy child can also be addressed to Matrona of Moscow. The blind saint always treated children with special warmth and kindness. For such pure love and sincere compassion, the people affectionately nicknamed her Matronushka.

Almost always, future parents have conversations about the gender of their unborn child. Preferences are different. Of course, science has reached the point where gender is almost programmed, but there is no way to be sure that the desired one will be born. In this case, they ask the Saints. With genuine sincerity, purity of intentions with which prayers will be read, there is always hope that the request will be heard. For a girl, it is recommended to contact Paraskeva Pyatnitsa. Those who want a son pray most often to Alexander Svirsky.

Prayers for threatened miscarriage

Everyone understands that bearing a child is an exhausting process, full of complexity and requiring a lot of strength. This also applies to the miracle that some couples have been waiting for years. On the other hand, there is a danger to the health of the future woman in labor. If the issue of maintaining pregnancy is very acute, then the intercession of the Blessed Virgin is mandatory.

Prayer for a daughter in position

Not only the expectant mother herself, but also everyone who sincerely worries about her, can send her prayers to the saints so that a woman in a position can easily bear a child. Especially those who themselves know perfectly well what it is like to walk for 9 months with a child. Of course, first of all, this is her mother. She worries the most about her daughters. In order to avoid all this nervousness, to get rid of exhausting excitement, the elder parent can apply with requests to both the Holy Mother and St. Matrona, and to Nicholas the Wonderworker.

It will be great if the expectant mother finds the strength to regularly visit the temple. Communion, confession and reading of prayers are recommended to her. If health does not allow this, then you can pray for painless childbirth and the safe bearing of the fetus in your home in front of the icons. Mothers ask for their daughter:

  • about the health of the daughter and future grandson;
  • about successful bearing;
  • for a quick, safe delivery.

Appeal to the "Quick Acolyte" in the maternity hospital

There are prayers that are sent even in the most active birth moments. The process will go easier and faster if you pray to the icon of the Quick Hearing before giving birth.

Conclusion

We resort to You, beloved Father, endowed with the mind of creation, because You, on Your own advice, created our race, having created our body from the earth with indescribable wisdom and breathing into it the soul from Your Spirit, so that we would be Your likeness. And although it was in Your will to create us immediately, like angels, if only You wanted, but Your Wisdom was pleased that through husband and wife, in Your established order of marriage, the human race multiplied; You wanted to bless people so that they grow and multiply and fill not only the earth, but also the angelic hosts.

    Good afternoon! Tell me, two months have passed since the birth and I would like to visit the temple. What about the permissive prayer: can I come to the service, defend it and go to the priest for this prayer? Or can I not enter the temple until this prayer is read? How to do it right?

    Reply

    1. Hello Ekaterina!
      Yes, you can come to the temple, defend the service and then go to the priest for this prayer, but do not venerate the holy icons and the cross yet. They came to the temple, stood aside, prayed, defended the service, and then approached the priest. There is a practice in many churches to confess before the service, or if there are several priests, then during the service, then you can go to confession and tell the priest, he may read these prayers to you right away and at the same time you can repent of sins and take communion.
      Peace be upon you and God's blessing!

During pregnancy, a woman's concerns about physical health intensify. But a person consists not only of the body, but also of the soul. Spiritual concerns are usually overlooked by us. And in vain. Today we will deal with an exciting question: to whom and how to pray for the preservation and bearing of a healthy child.

The Importance of Prayer During Pregnancy

Not only the body requires care, but also the soul. Her nourishment and purification takes place in the temple of God. Many pregnant women turn to God during this mysterious period. And this is natural. A woman begins to understand and realize her closeness to the Lord. And temple services, as a rule, have a calming effect on the condition of the expectant mother.

For an Orthodox Christian, prayer is of great importance in any period of life. Quite naturally for the expectant mother there will be a frequent appeal to the Creator, the Mother of God, the saints. The sincere prayer of a believing heart has colossal power and is capable of working miracles. In any course of pregnancy, it is useful to turn to God. Moreover, the Lord does not need our petitions as such, since He knows all our desires, thoughts, intentions. Communication with Higher powers is the main need of the human soul.

Prayer has only a beneficial effect on the condition of a woman. The Holy Fathers note the following actions:

  • the acquisition of peace of mind;
  • help in making the right decision;
  • finding the soul of peace, joy, silence;
  • release from various fears;
  • enlightenment of the mind;
  • deliverance from sinful vices, etc.

A calm state of mind certainly affects the bodily level. Even scientific medicine has proven that prayer reduces stress, normalizes blood pressure and the functioning of internal organs. For a pregnant woman, this is extremely important.

In front of which icons they read prayers for the preservation of pregnancy

The choice of icons for the home prayer of a pregnant woman should follow certain rules. The presence of images of Christ and the Virgin is a mandatory requirement. The choice of images of saints is made according to personal preferences, recommendations of priests or relatives.

Jesus Christ

In Christianity, the Savior of the world is Jesus Christ, the Son of God, he is the second hypostasis of the Holy Trinity. Only by his will can pregnancy occur and remain. First of all, a woman's prayers should be directed to Christ. Which icon of the Savior to choose, in fact, does not matter. It is better to take the one that is more conducive to your prayer mood. You can read on the Internet about the main images of the Lord, consult with a clergyman or believers.

This icon of the Savior belongs to the type of icons - Savior Almighty

Holy Mother of God

Virgin Mary is the mother of Christ according to the flesh. In Christianity, the Mother of God is considered the patroness of motherhood and childhood.. All believing women will certainly turn to the Mother of God if they wish to conceive, endure and give birth to a healthy baby. There are more than a thousand images of the Most Pure. The most common icons of the Blessed Virgin Mary for pregnant women are:

  • "In childbirth assistant";
  • "Healer";
  • "Quick listener";
  • "The Word became flesh";
  • "Kazanskaya", "Vladimirskaya", "Feodorovskaya", "Tikhvinskaya", etc.

You can make a choice of a specific icon according to personal preferences or the advice of a priest.

Holy Blessed Xenia of Petersburg

Pregnant women can ask Blessed Xenia for help in preserving and giving birth to a healthy child.. There are two types of images of a saint: half-length and full-length. As a rule, the blessed one is depicted in full growth wandering through the streets of St. Petersburg against the backdrop of temples. The expectant mother can choose the image she likes.

Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker

Saint Nicholas - a saint of the 3rd century, was born in Asia Minor. But in Russia this great saint of God is especially revered. Almost every church has his image.. You can ask for help from a saint about any needs, including the bearing and birth of a child. The iconography presents several types of images of the saint. For home prayer, the half-length image of the saint is more often chosen.

Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker - the most revered saint in Russia

Who else can help

A pregnant woman can choose any other saint for prayer: the patron of the family or name, the Guardian Angel, etc. The following are recognized as popular saints of God for expectant mothers:

  • Great Martyr Catherine;
  • Great Martyr Anastasia the Solver;
  • Venerable Melania the Roman;
  • righteous Zechariah and Elizabeth;
  • great martyr healer Panteleimon;
  • Saint Luke of Crimea and others.

Finding "your" saint is not an easy task. In this matter, regular prayerful communication with various saints of God is necessary. Over time, the soul of a person will definitely feel a response to petitions and “friendship” with the saint will be strengthened.

Important Rules in Prayer

The Apostle Paul encourages Christians to pray without ceasing (First Epistle to the Thessalonians, chapter 5, verse 17). It is almost impossible for unprepared people to achieve such a state. The prayer of a pregnant woman living a church life and taking her first steps in the spiritual field will be very different. But any appeal to God necessarily requires sincere faith. Regardless of the spiritual experience of a woman, prayer is performed and developed under certain conditions:

  1. Subsequence. It implies the gradual accustoming oneself to reading sacred texts. It can be 1-2 prayers in the morning and evening. Further requests are added.
  2. Regularity. Means daily feasible reading of texts, even if you don’t feel like it, there is no time, you are tired, etc.
  3. Sincerity. The presence of a minimum faith that the one Lord is able and willing to help us in difficulties. Over time, the "volume" of faith will certainly grow.

Perhaps these are the most important points. A reasonable decision for the expectant mother would be to discuss the quality and quantity of the prayer rule with the priest.

For an Orthodox Christian woman, regularity in prayer is reflected through the daily morning and evening prayer rule.

Prayers for the preservation of pregnancy and the bearing of a healthy child

As a rule, Orthodox texts of prayers were compiled by holy people or pious Christians of a high spiritual life.

Prayer to the Lord Jesus Christ

The Government of Jesus is of Christ, from the preview of the Father, the birth of the birth of a belief, and in afterwards, the fatefulness and the co -sake of the holy soul, the eagerness of the glean gave him a commandment: grow and multiply and fill the earth, have mercy on me according to the great mercy of Your servant (name), who is preparing to give birth according to Your commandment.
