Nature has placed the greatest responsibility on a woman - the responsibility for bearing and giving birth to a child. But, unfortunately, not every representative of the fairer sex is able to experience the happiness of motherhood, for one reason or another. Sometimes even the most professional doctors cannot cure forced childlessness. In such desperate situations, Orthodox prayer helps childless couples to get pregnant and give birth to a healthy child - it can create a real miracle even when there is no hope left for it.

The power of Orthodox prayer for pregnancy and the birth of a healthy child

Of course, in our age of high technology, quite a few people do not believe in the power of prayers and are skeptical about them. However, prayer to get pregnant and give birth to a healthy child actually works. Proof of this is the example of many married couples who, thanks to her, managed to become happy parents.

A true believer will never think about whether turning to the saints will help in his trouble. He simply prays and hopes for a positive result, and God and God’s holy helpers listen to his requests. Daily appeal to higher powers has helped many families give birth to a small heir or heiress. Each such case is a real miracle given by the Lord.

Any Orthodox prayer is designed to express the believer’s humility and submission before God. The first thing a woman who wants to become pregnant with the help of prayer, carry and give birth to a healthy baby must do is be ready to accept God's will.

Sometimes it may happen that prayer to the saints does not bring the desired result. This fact does not mean that a married couple should abandon all hopes of having a child. Often in this way, higher powers give a signal that the spouses need to adopt a child from an orphanage and give the little person the opportunity to grow up in a loving family. As a rule, it is after the adoption of a baby that many families have their own children.

The most effective prayers to help you get pregnant and give birth to a healthy baby

There are quite a lot of Orthodox prayers designed to help a woman conceive, maintain, bear and give birth to a healthy child. Most often, requests for pregnancy are addressed to:

Lord God.
Holy Mother of God.
Holy Spirit.
Blessed Matrona of Moscow.
Blessed Xenia of Petersburg.
Righteous Joachim and Anna.

Prayer to the Lord to help conceive a child is the first

With this prayer, a woman can turn to God asking for a blessed conception. It is recommended to do this in front of the icon of the Savior in the light of a lit church candle. Text of the prayer:

In order for prayer to quickly bring the desired result, you should appeal to the Almighty with it every day. A quick effect will be achieved if the petition is pronounced at dawn.

The health of the unborn child is also influenced by the process of delivery. Childbirth is an unpredictable phenomenon; the risk of developing any complications is always present. The thought of childbirth drives fear into any woman carrying a baby in her womb.

An Orthodox prayer to the Almighty can help the expectant mother, calm her down and mentally prepare her for the upcoming meeting with a new person. An ancient prayer text for help in childbirth can be said in the late stages of pregnancy, closer to the “X” hour, as well as during contractions:

An ancient prayer to the Lord for a successful pregnancy and preservation of the child

A strong prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary to help you get pregnant

The Most Holy Theotokos, as a mother, understands better than all the saints the aspirations and hopes of a woman dreaming of pregnancy. Therefore, many representatives of the fairer sex turn to her with a prayer to grant the joy of motherhood. There are several prayers for pregnancy, appealing to the mercy of the Mother of God. One of them, for example, sounds like this and is pronounced in front of any icon of the Virgin Mary:

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary for pregnancy and healing from female diseases

It often happens that infertility is a consequence of diseases of the female reproductive system. To be healed of an illness that does not make it possible to conceive a baby, a woman can turn to the Mother of God with the following prayer:

How to pray for pregnancy and the birth of a child

In order for prayer for pregnancy to have the best effect, it is recommended that a number of certain conditions be met:

the words of the prayer request must be sincere. You cannot keep negativity in your soul or think about your child with anger. The intentions of a praying woman must be pure and good;
Before turning to higher powers with a request to help with the conception and birth of a baby, it is advisable for a woman to go to church, confess and receive communion. Her husband can do the same;

Prayers to become pregnant and give birth to a healthy child should be said in cycles. One cycle must last at least 3 weeks, and before it, preparation is required in the form of a week of fasting and confession. Also, at least once before the start of the cycle, it is necessary to pray within the walls of the temple in front of the image of the saint to whom the future prayer will be directed;
Asking the Creator and His saints for pregnancy and the birth of a healthy child is permitted not only using the above-mentioned Orthodox prayers. The prayer can be written in your own words. The main thing in this matter is sincere, deep faith in the help of higher powers, regularity of pronunciation and life without sin, because since ancient times the birth of children was considered a blessing from God, and the absence of children was a punishment for mistakes and sins.

Prayers for a pregnant woman and a woman in labor. Orthodox patron saints of pregnant women and their icons

Every believing Orthodox pregnant woman needs to know what prayers to the Lord God and the Mother of God will reduce her suffering. Pregnant women and women in labor should always have such prayers at hand and read them twice a day - morning and evening every day.

Miracles exist only for those who believe in them. Whoever has faith in God in his soul will have more, but whoever does not have faith will have his last things taken away from him.

Pregnancy is always a test, and childbirth is the peak, the culmination of the torment of every woman, doomed due to the original sin of Eve to suffer during the birth of children.

Not all women have a calm and prosperous pregnancy. And then it is important to know which patron saints you should turn to for help through official or your own prayer.

Even if the expectant mother’s pregnancy proceeds successfully, this does not at all guarantee a quick, easy, painless and problem-free birth of a healthy, smart, kind, beautiful, happy baby, blessed by the Lord God.

We must ask the Lord and the Mother of God, the Blessed Virgin Mary, the patron saints of pregnant women and women in labor, about this every day, every free moment. And they will definitely hear your spiritual prayer, prayer - you just need to sincerely and wholeheartedly believe that the Lord is merciful and omnipotent.

Some women give birth to children very easily, like from a machine gun - one after another. Some carry babies, as if in an incubator, up to 60 years old. But the Lord does not grant all ladies such joy - to safely endure the hardships of pregnant life and quickly and easily give birth to healthy babies.

Many young mothers who have gone through the hellish agony of a difficult pregnancy and childbirth with complications (when the baby is positioned with his pelvis towards the exit of the mother, when his neck is wrapped in an umbilical cord and the day before giving birth you cannot even sit down even once - because this means strangling the baby itself) come to faith in God, they seek protection from the patron saints, from the Mother of God, they find and read prayers for the health of their children, they buy in Orthodox churches an icon-patron of pregnant and already born children.

It's never too late to turn to the Lord for help. But it is better, of course, to remember about Divine help and protection sooner rather than later.

Therefore, in this article I publish Orthodox prayers that will help pregnant women and women in labor alleviate their suffering and overcome doubts, I publish just below the patron saints of expectant mothers and their children, and also publish those icons that a pregnant woman should pray to.

All materials are taken from official website of the Orthodox Church Pravoslavie.ru , as well as from a booklet purchased from the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, entitled “Prayers for Children,” which was published by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church by the Poltava Diocese in the Transfiguration of the Mgar Monastery in 2001 in the amount of 40,000 copies.

ORTHODOX PRAYER OF A PREGNANT WOMAN TO THE MOTHER OF GOD

Oh, Most Glorious Mother of God, have mercy on me, Your servant, and come to my aid during my illnesses and dangers, with which all the poor daughters of Eve give birth to children.

Remember, O Blessed One among women, with what joy and love You went hastily to the mountainous country to visit Your relative Elizabeth during her pregnancy, and what a wonderful effect Your gracious visit had on both mother and baby.

And according to Your inexhaustible mercy, grant me, Your most humble servant, to be safely relieved of my burden; Grant me this grace, so that the child who now rests under my heart, having come to his senses, with a joyful leap, like the holy baby John, will worship the Divine Lord Savior, Who, out of love for us sinners, did not disdain to become a baby Himself.

May the unspeakable joy with which Your virgin heart was filled when looking at Your newborn Son and Lord, sweeten the sorrow that awaits me amid the pains of birth.

May the life of the world, my Savior, born of You, save me from death, which cuts off the lives of many mothers at the hour of resolution, and may the fruit of my womb be numbered among the elect of God.

Hear, O Most Holy Queen of Heaven, my humble prayer and look upon me, a poor sinner, with the eye of Your grace; do not shame my trust in Your great mercy and overshadow me.

Helper of Christians, Healer of illnesses, may I also be honored to experience for myself that You are the Mother of mercy, and may I always glorify Your grace, which has never rejected the prayers of the poor and delivers all those who call on You in times of sorrow and illness. Amen.

Prayer of a pregnant woman and woman in labor to the Lord

Almighty, miracle-working, merciful God, Creator and Preserver of heaven and earth and all creatures, Who Himself pronounced a blessing on all Christian spouses: grow and multiply!

And one more thing: this is the inheritance from the Lord: children, the fruit of the womb, a reward from Him.

I thank You that You have made me a participant in this blessing and Your gift in my married state, and I pray to You: deign to bless the fruit of the womb that You have given me, to bless and bless it with Your Holy Spirit, to accept it as one of Your beloved children and to make it a participant in the holy sacraments of the Church. Thy beloved Son, my Lord Jesus Christ, so that through this he may be sanctified and cleansed from the poisonous infection of hereditary sin in which he was conceived.

Lord God!

I and the fruit of my womb are children of wrath by nature, but You, beloved Father, have mercy on us, and sprinkle the fruit of my womb with hyssop, so that it will be clean, wash it, and it will be whiter than snow.

Strengthen and preserve him in the womb until the hour when he must be born.

This fruit of my womb was not hidden from You, when it was formed in the womb, Your hands formed it, You gave it life and breath, and let Your supervision preserve them.

Keep me from fear and fright and from evil spirits who would like to damage and destroy the work of Your hands.

Grant him a rational soul, and cause his body to grow healthy and undefiled, with whole, healthy members, and when the time and hour comes, allow me by Your mercy.

Grant me strength and strength for birth, speed him up with Your almighty help and ease my suffering, because this is Your work, the miraculous power of Your omnipotence, the work of Your mercy and mercy.

Remember the word You spoke: You brought me out of the womb; I am committed to You from birth; from my mother's womb You are my God; You laid me to rest at my mother's breast.

You are God, knowing and seeing the needs of all people; You said: when a woman gives birth, she suffers sorrow, because her hour has come.

God!

For the sake of this heartfelt compassion of Yours and for the sake of Your heart filled with pity, I pray to You, deign to ease my sorrow, which You foresaw, and bring into the world the fruit of my womb, with a healthy, living body and intact, well-formed members.

I entrust it to You, in Your almighty, fatherly hands, in Your mercy and mercy, and I place it, Lord Jesus Christ, in Your holy embrace, may you bless this fruit of my womb, as You blessed the children brought to You when you spoke : Let the children in and do not prevent them from coming to me, because of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Savior!

So I bring to You this fruit of my womb; lay Your gracious hand on him.

Bless him with the finger of Your Holy Spirit and grace him, when he comes into this world, with holy, blessed baptism; sanctify and renew him to eternal life through regeneration, make him a member of Thy holy body and Thy holy Christian church, so that Thy praise may be uttered from his lips, and he will be and forever remain a child and heir of eternal life, through the holy, Your bitter suffering and Your death and Your holy name, Jesus Christ. Amen.

(Prayer of priest G. Dyachenko)

Prayer with a request to give birth to healthy children in front of the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos, called “Healer”

Accept, O All-Blessed and All-Powerful Lady Theotokos the Virgin, these prayers, now brought to You with tears from us unworthy Thy servants to Your whole-bearing Image, sending up the singing with tenderness, as if You yourself are here and hear our prayer.

For every request you fulfill, you alleviate sorrows, you grant health to the weak, you heal the paralytic and the sick, you drive away demons from demons, you deliver the offended from insults, you cleanse lepers and have mercy on little children; also to the Lady and Lady Theotokos, who free you from bonds and prisons and heal all kinds of varied passions; For all things are possible through Thy intercession to Thy Son, Christ our God.

O Ripe Mother, Most Holy Theotokos!

Do not cease to pray for us, Your unworthy servants, who glorify You and honor You, and who worship Your Most Pure Image with tenderness, and who have irrevocable hope and undoubted faith in You, the Ever-Virgin, Most Glorious and Immaculate, now and ever and unto the ages of ages. Amen.

Orthodox prayer during physical illness and mental pain to the holy great martyr and healer Panteleimon

Oh, great saint of Christ, passion-bearer and merciful physician Panteleimon! Have mercy on me, a sinful slave, hear my groaning and cry, propitiate the heavenly, supreme Physician of our souls and bodies, Christ our God, may He grant me healing from the illness that oppresses me.
Accept the unworthy prayer of the most sinful man above all. Visit me with a gracious visit. Do not disdain my sinful sores, anoint them with the oil of your mercy and heal me; May I, healthy in soul and body, be able to spend the rest of my days, by the grace of God, in repentance and pleasing God and be worthy of receiving a good end to my life.

Hey, servant of God! Pray to Christ God, that through your intercession he may grant health to my body and salvation to my soul. Amen.

________________________________________

Also, during illnesses and pains, it is useful for physical and mental health to read the 90th psalm “Alive in the help of the Most High” and the prayer “May God rise again,” as well as the strong prayer “Creed.”

When reading these prayers, you can constantly baptize a sick person entirely or those parts of his body that hurt (neck, stomach, back).

If a pregnant woman is not feeling well, it is advisable to submit a note about her health to the church, order a magpie about her health, or even order a private service about her health.

Prayer Creed

I believe in one God the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the only begotten, who was born of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, true God from true God, born, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father, to Whom all things were.

For our sake, man and our salvation came down from heaven and became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became human. Crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered, and was buried. And rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures.

And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father. And again the coming one will be judged with glory by the living and the dead, His Kingdom will have no end.

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the Life-Giving One, who proceeds from the Father, who is worshiped and glorified with the Father and the Son, who spoke the prophets.

Into one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

I confess one baptism for the remission of sins.

I hope for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the next century. Amen.

Psalm 90

Living in the help of the Most High, he will settle in the shelter of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my Protector and my Refuge, my God, and I trust in Him.

For He will deliver you from the snare of the trap, and from rebellious words, He will overshadow you with His splashes, and under His wing you hope: His truth will surround you with weapons.

Do not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies during the day, from the thing that passes in the darkness, from the cloak, and from the demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will fall at your right hand, but it will not come close to you, otherwise you will look with your eyes, and you will see the reward of sinners.

For You, O Lord, are my hope, You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and wound will not approach your body, as His Angel commanded you to keep you in all your ways.

They will lift you up in their arms, but not when you dash your foot on a stone, step on an asp and a basilisk, and cross a lion and a serpent.

For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and because I have known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will destroy him, and I will glorify him, I will fill him with long days, and I will show him My salvation.

Orthodox prayer “May God rise again”

May God rise again, and may His enemies be scattered, and may those who hate Him flee from His presence.

As smoke disappears, let them disappear; as wax melts in the face of fire, so let the weight perish from the face of those who love God and signify themselves with the sign of the cross, and who say in joy: Rejoice, Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, drive away the demons by force on you of our Lord Jesus Christ, who descended into hell and straightened the power the devil, and who gave us His Honest Cross to drive away every adversary.

O Most Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord! Help me with the Holy Virgin Mary and with all the saints forever. Amen.

______________________________________________

Also, do not forget to pray to your Guardian Angel and the saint whose name you bear.

Prayer to the Guardian Angel

Holy Angel, standing before my accursed soul and my passionate life, do not leave me, a sinner, nor depart from me for my intemperance.

Do not give room to the evil demon to possess me through the violence of this mortal body; strengthen my poor and thin hand and guide me on the path of salvation.

To her, holy Angel of God, guardian and patron of my accursed soul and body, forgive me everything, I have offended you so greatly all the days of my life, and if I sinned this past night, cover me on this day, and save me from every opposite temptation May I not anger God in any sin, and pray for me to the Lord, that He may strengthen me in His passion, and show me worthy as a servant of His goodness. Amen.

Patron saints and patronesses of pregnant women and women in labor

During difficult births and difficult pregnancies, we must first pray to the Mother of GodThe Virgin Mary and her icon “Feodorovskaya” and “Helper in Childbirth”,

Venerable Melania the Roman,

Great Martyr Anastasia the Pattern Maker,

Righteous Zechariah and Elizabeth,

Great Martyr Catherine.

We must pray to the Most Holy Theotokos for happiness in family and marriage., to his Guardian Angel, blessed Peter and Fevronia of Murom, martyr Paraskeva Pyatnitsa.

It is also worth knowing that prayers to these saints can be found in prayer books in your local Orthodox church (do not buy religious literature and icons from hand or in stores!)

But it’s even better to buy a large collection of akathists to God, the Mother of God and the saints and not limit yourself in case of major illnesses, pain and suffering only to prayers, but also read these akathists (they can be read not only standing, but also sitting, and lying down, if it’s bad, it doesn’t matter you feel).

Pregnancy is a period incomparable in the depth of emotions in a woman’s life. And a long-awaited and desired pregnancy turns a woman into the happiest person on the planet. Unfortunately, it happens that already at the first appointment, at the same time as the doctor, informs the patient about the threat of miscarriage. The possibility of losing a long-awaited child causes a real emotional shock in a woman. This further aggravates the situation, because even with a normal pregnancy, any negative emotions can cause complications, including miscarriage. A pregnant woman, even after learning about the threat of miscarriage, should remain calm. Firstly, forbidding yourself to shed tears and be hysterical - this will not only not help, but can also seriously aggravate an already difficult situation. Secondly, completely trust your doctor and follow all his instructions. And thirdly, every day, every free minute, ask in church prayer to continue the pregnancy.

Orthodox prayer to the Lord to preserve pregnancy

Even if the doctors’ forecasts are far from encouraging, a miraculous prayer to the Lord to preserve the pregnancy can work miracles. During pregnancy, prayer should be especially diligent, because we pray for two lives - ours and the child's, we feed his unborn soul with the word of prayer. Prayer also strengthens our faith, helping us endure difficult periods in life. Faith in God, in His mercy, hope in His help, helps to find peace. And calmness is exactly the state and the medicine that a woman needs to maintain pregnancy - any doctor can confirm this.

Strong prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary to preserve pregnancy

Believing Christian women turn to the Mother of God in prayers to preserve pregnancy. Who else can understand the feelings of a future mother better than another mother? Prayer to the Mother of God has extraordinary power. Orthodox prayers for preserving pregnancy are read in front of the icons of the Quick Hearer, Fedorovskaya, and the Leaping of the Baby, or the icons of the Healer, Kazan, and Helper in Childbirth. The Holy Fathers teach that it doesn’t matter what icon you pray in front of, and it doesn’t matter whether you read a ready-made prayer or pray in your own words, the main thing is only your sincere faith in God’s help.

The text of a Christian prayer for the preservation of pregnancy to the Blessed Virgin Mary

Oh, Most Glorious Mother of God, have mercy on me, Your servant, come to my aid during my illnesses and dangers, with which all poor daughters of Eve give birth to children. Remember, O Blessed One among women, with what joy and love You went hastily to the mountainous country to visit Your relative Elizabeth during her pregnancy, and what a wonderful effect Your gracious visit had on the mother and the baby. And according to Your inexhaustible mercy, grant me, Your most humble servant, to be safely relieved of my burden; Grant me this grace, so that the child who now rests under my heart, having come to his senses, with a joyful leap, like the holy baby John, will worship the Divine Lord Savior, Who, out of love for us sinners, did not disdain to become a baby Himself. May the unspeakable joy with which Your virgin heart was filled when looking at Your newborn Son and Lord, sweeten the sorrow that awaits me amid the pains of birth. May the life of the world, my Savior, born of You, save me from death, which cuts off the lives of many mothers at the hour of resolution, and may the fruit of my womb be counted among the elect of God. Hear, O Most Holy Queen of Heaven, my humble prayer and look upon me, a poor sinner, with the eye of Your grace; do not be ashamed of my trust in Your great mercy and overshadow me, Helper of Christians, Healer of diseases, may I also be honored to experience for myself that You are the Mother of mercy, and may I always glorify Your grace, which never rejects the prayers of the poor and delivers all who call on You during times of grief and illness. Amen. Amen. Amen.

Pregnancy and the birth of a child are not only the most significant and joyful days in the life of every family, but it is also the great sacrament of “the entry of the soul into this world,” and this is also the time when God is closest to young parents.

PREGNANCY IS SPRING IN THE LIFE OF EVERY FAMILY

Pregnancy is a great miracle of change, I would compare it to spring, when everything changes right before our eyes, and every new day brings new colors and light of life to this world. During pregnancy, everything changes for the expectant mother - her body, tastes, character change, and her spiritual needs also change.

The little “angel” is already living his life in his mother’s tummy, and it is at this time that the future baby is tightly connected – in body with his mother, and in soul with God. This higher connection through the fetus is spiritually visible: both to others from the outside and to the mother herself. That is why many women, even those far from religion, come to church during pregnancy, realizing the importance of spiritual life and the fact that everything in this world depends on the Will and Grace of God. It also happens that it is during pregnancy that the expectant mother says the first prayer in her life.

THE IMPORTANCE OF PRAYERS DURING PREGNANCY

Prayer is communication with God. During prayer, we spiritually come into contact with the Creator, and He always hears us. A lot depends on this “communication”, including how the pregnancy and the future life of the child will go. We must not forget that many prayers result in miracles.

It is imperative to pray for a successful pregnancy and successful birth, and it is better to do this more often. You can pray at home and in church, but it is especially good if future parents order a prayer service for a successful pregnancy and successful birth.

In this case, in addition to the power of home prayer, the powerful power of the Holy Church is also activated.

You can order a prayer service in a church or in a church shop, but you can make it simpler - order prayer services for pregnancy and safe childbirth on the Internet, through a special online service. By the way, recently, you can also light candles there for good health.

PREPARATION FOR CHILDREN

The birth of a child is the main event in the life of every seven. During all nine months of pregnancy, the child and mother are a single organism, but after childbirth, the baby becomes a completely independent member of the family and society. How the birth will proceed largely depends on the actions of the future parents.

Before this important event, parents are actively preparing: they come for consultations with doctors, buy clothes for the baby and hygiene products, and clean the home. This is good, but it is still not enough. You need to prepare for childbirth and spiritually - prayers and prayer services for a successful birth will help you with the power of God's grace.

I also read this prayer, but I found it by chance, before giving birth. And from the first day of conception until the birth itself, I read another prayer, also very strong, thanks to which I carried and gave birth normally.
Elena, Vidnoye

PRAYERS FOR A SAFE PREGNANCY AND SUCCESSFUL BIRTH

There are many images of the Mother of God, in front of which it is customary to pray for a successful birth: “Feodorovskaya”, “Tikhvinskaya”, “Kazan”, “Helper in Childbirth”.

Prayer to the Feodorovskaya Icon of the Mother of God

The miraculous icon is revered as the patroness of brides, family well-being, the birth of children in childless couples, and helps in difficult childbirths.

It would be very correct to order a prayer service for a safe birth, and also to touch the holy icons. The prayer service can be ordered either one-time or for a certain period, and in this case, at each service, according to the schedule of services, prayers will be read for the young mother

Before giving birth (I’m a week away), after the end of the service (it would be good if it was a Sunday liturgy, you should confess before it and receive communion at it - this is the best blessing from the Lord), and then order a prayer service (it’s like a short service, a prayer for you, your family with the priest as required) of the Fedorov Mother of God (assistant in childbirth) - or tell the priest so for a successful delivery. After it, the priest will bless you and go give birth with God.
Anna, young mother

All these preparations will undoubtedly not go unnoticed by God, and you and your entire family will receive the Highest blessing, including a successful birth.

Prayer to preserve pregnancy is a strong protection for the baby

Which saints should you turn to during pregnancy?

Many pregnant women have a great desire to accept the help and protection of the saints, but do not know who to ask. Jesus Christ is our Savior and ambulance; the expectant mother calls on Him first of all when reading a prayer to preserve the pregnancy.

Prayer to the Lord to preserve pregnancy
Almighty God, Creator of the visible and invisible! We resort to You, beloved Father, creatures gifted with reason, because by special advice You created our race, with ineffable wisdom creating our body from the earth and breathing the soul of Your Spirit into it, so that we could be in Your likeness.
It was in Your will to create us immediately as angels, if You wanted, but in Your wisdom it was desired that in the order You established through marriage, through a wife and a husband, the human race would multiply. You wanted to bless people, so that they multiply and grow. They filled both the earth and the hosts of angels.
O Father and God! May Your name be glorified and glorified forever for what you have done for us. I also thank You for Your mercy, that by Your will not only did I myself come from Your wonderful creation and I am replenishing the number of the elect, but that You deigned to bless me in marriage and sent me the fruit of my womb. This is Your gift, Your Divine mercy, O Father.
Therefore, I turn to You alone and I pray to You with a humble heart for help and mercy, so that what You do in me by Your power may be preserved and brought to a prosperous birth. For, O God, I know that choosing your path is not in human power and not in human strength. We are prone to fall and are too weak in spirit to escape those snares that the evil spirit lays for us, by Your permission.
We are weak to avoid the misfortune to which our frivolity can plunge us. Only Your wisdom is limitless. And whomever you wish, you will save from any misfortune. Therefore, I, Thy servant, O merciful Father, in my sorrow, commend myself into Thy hands and pray that Thou would look with the eye of mercy on me and save me from all suffering. Send us, my dear husband and me, joy, the joy of every Master.
So that when we see Your blessing, we worship You with all our hearts and serve You with a joyful spirit. I don’t want to be taken away from what You imposed on our entire family, commanding children to be born in illness. But I humbly ask You to help me endure suffering and send me a prosperous outcome.
And if You hear this prayer of ours, and send us a good and healthy child, we swear to bring him to You again, and dedicate him to You, so that for our seed and us You will remain a Father and a merciful God, so we, together with our child, swear as faithful servants you will always be.
Merciful God, hear the prayer of Your servants, fulfill the prayer of our hearts, for the sake of our Savior Jesus Christ, who became incarnate for us and reigns for eternity. Amen!
