To You, beloved Father, we resort, gifted with the mind of creation, because You, on special advice, created our race, having created our body from the earth with inexpressible 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 at once, like the Angels, if only you wanted, but Your wisdom was pleased that through the husband and wife, in the order of marriage established by You, the human race multiplied; You wanted to bless people so that they would grow and multiply and fill not only the earth, but also the angelic hosts.

O God and Father, may Your name be forever glorified and glorified for all that You have done for us! I also thank You for Your mercy, that not only I, according to Your will, came from Your wonderful creation and replenish the number of the elect, but that You honored me to bless in marriage and sent me the fruit of the womb. This is Your gift, Your Divine mercy, O Lord and Father of spirit and body! Therefore, I turn to You alone and pray to You with a humble heart for mercy and help, so that what You do in me by Your power will be preserved and brought to a prosperous birth.

For I know, O God, that it is not in the power and power of man to choose our own path: we are too weak and prone to fall to bypass all those networks that I set up for us at Your will, evil spirit, and avoid those misfortunes, into which our frivolity plunges us. Your wisdom is limitless. Whom You wish, You will save unscathed through Your Angel from every misfortune. Therefore, I, merciful Father, commit myself in my sorrow into Your hands and pray that You look at me with an eye of mercy and save me from all suffering.

Send me and my dear husband joy, O God, Lord of all joy, so that we, at the sight of Your blessing, worship You with all our hearts and serve with a joyful spirit. I do not want to be excluded from what You imposed on our entire race, commanding to give birth to children in illnesses. But I humbly ask You to help me endure suffering and send a prosperous outcome. And if You hear this prayer of ours and send us a healthy good child, then we swear to bring him back to You and consecrate him to You so that You remain for us and our seed a merciful God and Father, as we swear to always be Your faithful servants together with our child .

Hear, Merciful God, the prayer of Your last servant, fulfill the prayer of our heart for the sake of Jesus Christ, our Savior, who became incarnate for us, now abides with You and the Holy Spirit and rules in eternity. Amen".

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

Grant me strength and strength for my birth, bless him 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 that You spoke: You took me out of the womb; I am devoted to You from birth; from my mother's womb You are my God; You gave me rest at my mother's breast. You are the God who knows and sees the needs of all people; You said: A woman, when she gives birth, suffers grief, because her hour has come.

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

Savior! Thus I bring to Thee also this fruit of my womb; lay your graceful hand upon him. Bless him with the finger of Your Holy Spirit and bless him when he comes into this world with holy, blessed baptism; sanctify and renew him to eternal life through rebirth, make him also a member of your holy body and your holy Christian church, so that praise to you is pronounced from his lips, and he is and remains forever a child and heir of eternal life, through the holy, Your bitter suffering and Your death and Your holy name, Jesus Christ.

“To you, Mother of God, we praise; We confess thee, Mary, the Virgin Mary; Thee, the eternal Father, the Daughter, the whole earth magnifies. All the Angels and Archangels and all the Beginnings humbly serve you; All the Powers, Thrones, Dominations and all the exceeding Powers of heaven obey you.

The Holy Church glorifies you throughout the universe, honoring the Mother of God; He exalts thee the true King of heaven, the Maiden. You are the Lady Angel, You are the door of Paradise, You are the ladder of the Kingdom of Heaven, You are the King's chamber of glory, You are the ark of piety and grace, You are the abyss of bounty, You are the refuge of sinners.

You are the Mother of the Savior, You are the liberation for the sake of a captive person, you perceived God in the womb. You have trampled on the enemy; You opened the doors of the Kingdom of Heaven to the faithful. You stand at the right hand of God; You pray to God for us, Virgin Mary, who will judge the living and the dead. We ask you, Intercessor before Your Son and God, Who redeem us with Your blood, so that we receive retribution in eternal glory. Save Thy people, Mother of God, and bless Thy inheritance, as if we were partakers of Thy inheritance; forbid and keep us even to the age.

Every day, O Most Holy One, we wish to praise and please Thee with our hearts and lips. Grant, Most Merciful Mother, now and always from sin, save us; have mercy on us, Intercessor, have mercy on us. Be Thy mercy on us, as if we trust in Thee forever. Amen".

It is necessary to accept what is happening with humility and gratitude. They pray to the Lord and the holy Matrona to bless the pregnancy and the upcoming birth.

Hear me unworthy, calling you with faith and bringing prayer to you singing; I offer you an intercessor for supplication to Christ. O notorious in miracles, high saint! as if you have boldness, soon stand before the Lord, and reverence your hands in prayer to Him, stretch out for me a sinner, and from Him give bounties of goodness, and accept me as your intercession, and deliver me from all troubles and evils, from the invasion of enemies visible and invisible freeing, and destroying all those slanders and malice, and reflecting those who fight me in my whole life; ask for forgiveness by my sin, and present me to Christ and save the Kingdom of Heaven for the multitude of that philanthropy, He deserves all glory, honor and worship, with His Father without beginning, and with the Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever and forever centuries. Amen".

On the eve of the operation, you need to pray for all the doctors and medical staff who will take part in the birth. May the Lord bless their hands and help in the birth of a healthy baby. If it becomes necessary to remove the cross before the operation, you can wind it around your arm or hair.

Before the introduction of anesthesia, short prayers are read: “Lord, have mercy on me a sinner! Lord, help!”, “St. Nicholas, pray to God for us!”.

In Orthodoxy, motherhood is a voluntary martyrdom and the holy destiny of a woman, which brings her closer to the Kingdom of Heaven. This is the cross that a woman bears for the benefit of a new life. The Lord is merciful to such a feat and will surely give mothers strength and opportunities for raising offspring.

In order for the outcome to be prosperous and joyful, women turn to the Saints for help. In this article, we will present a few mother prayers during pregnancy and childbirth.

Prayers for a healthy baby. The Importance of Prayer During Pregnancy

Pregnancy is the state in which any Orthodox woman must be completely spiritually cleansed. In order to achieve this, it is necessary to pray daily and hourly for the health of the child and the preservation of his life, to take communion more often, confess, attend church services, and lead a righteous life. After all, sometimes this is what heals, miraculously affects pregnancy, even in cases where it seems that there is no way out and death is inevitable.

In addition, prayer not only protects the baby, but also has a calming effect on the expectant mother, brings peace and harmony to her soul. Also, the spiritual cleansing of the mother establishes her emotional contact with the child. After all, an appeal to the Lord does not have to be spoken aloud, like any other words and thoughts. All we think about is the inner voice that only the baby in you hears. After all, the life of the crumbs in the womb depends on your mood, thoughts and plans.

In this article, we have presented for you a few prayers that you need to say when addressing different Saints. In this matter, the most important thing is to sincerely believe, to focus on every word of prayer. After all, if your heart, head and soul are occupied with topical everyday worries, then it is unlikely that your true desires and requests will be heard and fulfilled. By the way, it is not at all necessary to be in the temple during prayer. You can ask for help and think near the icon of the Saint. Indeed, often pregnant women, especially in the later stages, no longer feel very well and do not risk leaving the house once again.

It is very good if, apart from you, your close relatives pray for your health and the health of the baby. This will only strengthen the protection of the child. The mother of a pregnant woman, who needs to read akathists about the health of children, and her husband should make their important contribution in this matter. He should read daily prayers to Nicholas the Wonderworker and the Most Holy Theotokos.

Prayers for a healthy baby. Prayer texts during pregnancy

Below you will find several options for prayer texts for pregnant women that you need to study.

Prayer for the Preservation of a Child

With the threat of a miscarriage or a difficult course of pregnancy, the Most Holy Theotokos should be called for help, who had to experience the real bitterness of motherhood. Read a prayer for bearing a child, turning to Xenia of Petersburg, Nicholas the Wonderworker and St. Luke of Crimea, who during his lifetime was an excellent doctor.

Prayer for the preservation and birth of a healthy child

Righteous Joachim and Anna, the parents of the Most Holy Theotokos, who was born at a time when the parents were already over 70 years old, should be asked for the preservation and birth of a healthy child. Joakm and Anna prayed all their lives for the opportunity to have a child, and for many years they were treated for infertility. At the end of their lives, God gave them a daughter, Mary, who became the mother of God's Son. Read the prayer for the preservation of pregnancy in the following text version:

Prayer to the Matrona for pregnancy

With a request to bear a child, women turn to the blessed Matrona, to whom people turn with any everyday problems. During her lifetime, she healed from any ailments and could predict the future. Therefore, all pregnant women who are at risk, in order to bear a child, must daily read the Matrona prayer for pregnancy:

Prayers for a healthy baby. Basic rules for saying a prayer

Before starting to read the prayer, every woman who is expecting the birth of a baby should:

Get rid of bad thoughts and stay in a good mood.
Be sure to confess and take communion in the temple, in which the pregnant woman is a parishioner.
It is necessary to read the prayer twice a day - after waking up and just before going to bed.
When reading a prayer, you need to be concentrated on the text so as not to be distracted by anything.
Prayer must be said with lit candles in front of the icons of the saints to whom you are addressing. If this is not possible, then the main thing is to pray sincerely, with all your heart.
Every morning drink holy water and eat prosphora.
Do not interrupt the course of treatment prescribed by the doctor with whom you are registered. Prayer is a way to strengthen your connection with God and your child, not a cure. The baby should not be deprived of food, vitamins and the good mood of his mother.

Immediately before the birth itself (after all, you will know the estimated date by ultrasound), do the following:

Visit the Temple to order a church prayer there for the birth of your baby.
Get there a blessing for childbirth from a clergyman or priest with whom you are accustomed to communicate.
Confess to him and be sure to take communion. This is especially true for women who had pregnancies that were intentionally interrupted (we are talking about abortions). After all, this is a great sin, for which the future mother must definitely repent and bring penance - a special punishment in the form of alms or the obligatory reading of a certain series of prayers.
Learn a prayer to your guardian angel (this is the Saint who is the patron of the name under which you were baptized), which will protect your life and health in the throes that you will experience during childbirth.

Video "Prayer of the Mother of God"

In this video you will hear the text of a prayer for pregnant women addressed to the Mother of God. This prayer is the most common today. The icon of this Saint is in every delivery room in all maternity hospitals.

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 childbirth should always have such prayers at hand and read twice a day - in the morning and in the evening every day.

Miracles exist only for those who believe in them. Whoever has faith in God in his soul will multiply, and whoever does not have faith, the last thing will be taken from him.

Pregnancy is always a test, and childbirth is the peak, the culmination of the torment of every woman, doomed because of the original sin of Eve to suffering at the birth of children.

Not all women have a smooth and safe pregnancy. And then it is important to know which patron saints you should turn to for help with the help of an official or your own prayer.

Even if the pregnancy of the future mother proceeds safely, this does not at all guarantee a quick, easy, painless and hassle-free delivery of a healthy, intelligent, kind, beautiful, happy baby, blessed by the Lord God.

This must be asked of the Lord and the Mother of God the Blessed Virgin Mary, the patron saints of pregnant women and women in labor 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 bear children, as in an incubator, up to 60 years. But the Lord does not grant such joy to all ladies - to safely endure the hardships of a pregnant life and quickly, easily give birth to healthy babies.

Many young mothers who have gone through the hellish torments of a difficult pregnancy and childbirth with complications (when the baby is located with the pelvis to the exit from the mother, when his neck is wrapped around the umbilical cord and the day before the birth you can’t even sit down at all - it means strangling the baby itself) come to faith in God, seek protection from the patron saints, from the Mother of God, find and read prayers for the health of their children, buy in Orthodox churches the icon-patron of pregnant and already born children.

It is never too late to turn to the Lord for help. But it is better, of course, to remember the 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 to alleviate their suffering and overcome doubts, I print just below the patron saints of expectant mothers and their children, and I also publish those icons that a pregnant woman should pray.

All materials are taken from official website of the Orthodox Church Pravoslavie.ru , as well as from a booklet bought in the Ukrainian Orthodox Church, called "Prayers for Children", which was published by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church of the Poltava diocese in the Transfiguration Mgarsky Monastery in 2001 in the amount of 40,000 copies.

ORTHODOX PRAYER OF A PREGNANT WOMAN TO THE MOTHER OF GOD

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

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

The unexpressed joy that filled Your virgin heart when looking at Your newborn Son and Lord, may it alleviate the sorrow that is coming to me amid the illnesses of birth.

Hear, Most Holy Queen of Heaven, my humble prayer and look down on me, a poor sinner, with Your eye of grace; do not shame my hope in Your great mercy and fall on me.

Helper of Christians, Healer of diseases, may I also be able 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 during sorrow and illness. Amen.

Almighty, miraculous, 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 again: this is the inheritance from the Lord: children, the fruit of the womb, a reward from Him.

I thank Thee that You have made me a partaker of this blessing and Thy gift in my marital state, and I pray Thee: deign to bless the fruit of the womb, bestowed upon me by Thee, bless and delight it with Thy Holy Spirit, accept Thy beloved children among the number of Thy beloved ones and make them partakers of the holy sacraments of the Church Thy beloved Son, my Lord Jesus Christ, so that 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 become whiter than snow.

Strengthen and keep him in the womb until the hour when he should be born into the world.

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

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

Remember the word that You spoke: You took me out of the womb; I am devoted to You from birth; from my mother's womb You are my God; You gave me rest at my mother's breast.

You are the God who knows and sees the needs of all people; You said: A woman, when she gives birth, suffers grief, because her hour has come.

God!

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

I entrust him to you, into your almighty, fatherly hands, in your mercy and mercy, and I place him, Lord Jesus Christ, in your holy arms, bless this fruit of my womb, as you blessed the children brought to you when you spoke : let the children go and do not prevent them from coming to me, because such is the Kingdom of Heaven.

Savior!

Thus I bring to Thee also this fruit of my womb; lay your graceful hand upon him.

Bless him with the finger of Your Holy Spirit and bless him when he comes into this world with holy, blessed baptism; sanctify and renew him to eternal life through rebirth, make him also a member of your holy body and your holy Christian church, so that praise to you is pronounced from his lips, and he is and remains forever a child and heir of eternal life, through the holy, Your bitter suffering and Your death and Your holy name, Jesus Christ. Amen.

And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father. And the packs of the future with glory to judge 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 with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who spoke the prophets.

Into one Holy, Catholic and Apostolic Church.

I confess one baptism for the remission of sins.

I look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the age to come. Amen.

Psalm 90

Alive in the help of the Most High, in the blood of the God of Heaven will settle. The Lord says: Thou art my intercessor and my refuge, my God, and I trust in Him.

Yako He will deliver you from the net of the hunter, and from the word of the rebellious, the splash of His will overshadow thee, and under His wings you hope: His truth will be your weapon.

Do not be afraid of the fear of the night, from the arrow flying in the days, from the thing in the darkness of the transient, from the scum, and the demon of the noonday. A thousand will fall from your country, and darkness at your right hand, but it will not come close to you, both look with your eyes, and see the reward of sinners.

As you, O Lord, are my hope, the Most High have laid down your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and the wound will not approach your body, as if by His Angel a commandment about you, save you in all your ways.

They will take you in their hands, but not when you stumble your foot on a stone, step on the asp and the basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent.

For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and I will cover, and, as I know My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him: I am with him in sorrow, I will crush him, and I will glorify him, I will fulfill him with long life, and I will show him My salvation.

Holy patrons and patronesses of pregnant women and women in childbirth

During difficult childbirth and difficult pregnancy, one must pray first of all to the Mother of GodVirgin Mary and her icon "Feodorovskaya" and "Assistant in childbirth",

Venerable Melania the Romans,

Great Martyr Anastasia the Destroyer,

Righteous Zechariah and Elizabeth,

Great Martyr Catherine.

For happiness in the family and marriage, one must pray to the Most Holy Theotokos, 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 your hands and 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 great illnesses, pains and sufferings 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 feel yourself).

The birth of a child is the most joyful event in a woman's life. This is not just a miracle, but also a sacrament. Much depends on the will of God. Therefore, many pregnant women resort to prayers to ask the Higher Powers for a successful birth and the birth of a healthy baby.

What prayers to read to a pregnant woman every day

Prayer for the safe bearing of a healthy fetus

During pregnancy, many women pray for the safe bearing of a healthy fetus. Mothers of pregnant daughters can also offer such prayers to the Higher powers.

The following prayer is very strong:

“Almighty Lord the Most High, the Creator of everything visible and invisible in the world around us! To You, the All-Merciful Father, we who live resort, because it was You who created the human race, having created our body with the wisdom deep from the earth and breathing into us the soul from Your Spirit. It was your wisdom that through a wife and a husband the human race should multiply. You desired to bless people so that they multiply and grow. Oh, Father Almighty! I glorify and glorify Your name for mercy and for everything done for us. I also thank you for the fact that by your will I myself was created and for the fact that in marriage you blessed me and sent me a fetus. This is your gift, your grace. Therefore, to you alone, Lord, I turn with a prayer and a humble heart, so that the fruit is preserved and my child comes safely into the world. Oh, God, I understand that you appoint a human path, and we have no right to choose it on our own. Therefore, I, the Servant of God (proper name), give myself into your hands and pray for your mercy. Send my husband and I joy and joy. A child born, we vow to bring him to you. And together with him we will all faithfully serve you and glorify you. Amen".

Prayer for the preservation of pregnancy (with the threat of miscarriage)

Of course, it should be understood that pregnancy must necessarily take place under the supervision of a doctor. But at the same time, prayers always calm and are very effective if it is necessary to maintain a pregnancy in case of a threatened miscarriage.

A strong prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos is as follows:

“Oh, Blessed Mother of God, have mercy on me, the Servant of God (proper name), save me from all dangers and illnesses. Remember, O Blessed One in women, the joy that you experienced when you carried the baby Jesus under your heart. So grant your help to me and help me successfully bear my long-awaited child, and then it will be safely resolved from the burden. Let me experience all the joy of having a baby and forget about the pain associated with it as soon as possible. Save my fetus from possible death and me from death at the hour of resolution. Hear, Holy Mother of God, my humble prayer and grant me your grace. Do not be ashamed of my hope in your great mercy. I will be able to know that you are the true Mother of Mercy. I will praise you all the time. Amen".

Prayer for a healthy child

Prayers for a healthy baby are very popular among pregnant women. There are a huge number of them. In the temple, it is recommended to ask for the birth of a healthy child using a short prayer to the Matrona of Moscow.

To do this, you should put a candle near the icon of the Saint and say in a whisper:

“Blessed Staritsa, Matrona of Moscow, I, the Servant of God (proper name) with a heartfelt request. Send me a safe discharge from the burden and send me a healthy child. Just do not transfer my sins to him, let me repent of them myself before the Lord God. Do not punish my baby for my sinful life, because all the sins were committed by me out of ignorance. Amen".

Prayer for release from the burden (in childbirth)

Of course, during pregnancy, every woman wants the birth to go smoothly, and there will be no problems. A strong prayer that will set up a woman spiritually and ensure easy childbirth is an appeal to the Most Holy Theotokos.

It sounds like this:

“Oh, the Most Holy Theotokos, who loves people and does not leave us in earthly life. I offer you a prayer of consolation. With spiritual fear and faithful love, Most Holy Theotokos, ask our Lord, your son, to give us salvation so that we can give birth to children of the Lord in pleasing. Ask us to forgive us all our sins, committed through foolishness, and keep us in the purity of humility, so that we live in the hope of Christ's salvation. May the Almighty give us consolation on earth. Holy Mother of God, keep us under the shadow of Your mercy. I pray to you, Servant of God (proper name) for help in childbirth. Save me from any misfortune and turn away from premature death. Give me grace-filled insight, give me the strength not to commit sins, let me gain spiritual purity. I believe in you with all my heart, hear me and give me your goodness. I will glorify the Holy Trinity in the hope of becoming worthy of the Kingdom of Heaven. Amen".

Prayer for pregnant women from the evil eye

During pregnancy, a woman becomes very vulnerable. Her natural energy protection is violated and unkind people can easily jinx her. Therefore, it is imperative to read prayers from the evil eye every day.

If you feel someone's unkind look, then you need to step aside as soon as possible and whisper these words:

“Lord God, I ask You and I repent of all my sins that were previously committed. I pray and honestly try to live endlessly. Do not allow someone to jinx my pregnancy and harm my child. Your will and your prohibition. Amen".

Prayer for protection during pregnancy

For constant protection, you need to write the following prayer on a piece of paper and always carry it with you as a talisman. It also needs to be spoken out periodically, especially before when you need to be among a large number of people.

Her text is:

“Lord, the Most High, the All-Powerful and the All-Merciful, bless me, the Servant of God (proper name), who bears the future life in her womb. Support me at every moment and at every hour. The cross is my baptist, save my soul from evil. Save my womb from evil looks. Amen!"

Prayer of the Feodorovskaya Mother of God for pregnant women

You can turn to various saints for support during pregnancy. The main thing is to sincerely believe that the prayer appeal will be heard.

Most often, pregnant women pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary. Especially strong is the prayer that is offered before the icon of the Theodore Mother of God. This icon was painted by St. Luke and today is in one of the monasteries of Kostroma. But it is still unknown how it got into ancient Russia.

“I appeal with prayer to you, Heavenly Lady, Most Holy Theotokos. Only you are the comforter in my sorrows. Only to you can I bring my tears and sighs, only you will beg forgiveness from the Lord for my sins, only you can protect me from iniquity. Hear my spiritual groaning, console me and have mercy in my sorrows, protect me in troubles and misfortunes, deliver me from anger at people, as well as all kinds of ailments, from enemies visible and invisible, humble the enmity around me, give deliverance from human slander. Also free me from all bad habits. Shelter me under the shadow of Your mercy, Blessed Mother of God, grant me peace and joy, help me to receive cleansing from sins. Be my intercessor, Holy Mother of God, I entrust my life to you, be my life hope, shelter and help. May your intercession bring me joy and comfort. O Great Lady of the Kingdom of Heaven! Anyone who resorts to you for help is not left without it. I believe and hope that I will be able to glorify you and pray unceasingly for the salvation of my soul. Amen".

Prayer of a pregnant woman Matrona of Moscow

Prayer to the Matrona of a Moscow pregnant woman has great power. The relics of this Saint are buried on the territory of the Moscow Danilovsky Monastery in Moscow. Desperate women come here from all over who cannot get pregnant or bear a child. And any sincere prayer appeal does not go unnoticed. A woman should read the prayer of the Holy Matrona of Moscow throughout her pregnancy. This will help to bear the child and safely give birth to a healthy baby.

The prayer appeal is as follows:

“Oh, blessed Holy Mother Matrona, hear me and accept all of us, sinners, praying and calling to you. You are used to listening to all the suffering and grieving who resort to your help and to help them in their earthly affairs. May your mercy never fail for us unworthy, restless in this vain world. Grant us Mother Matrona consolation and compassion in our spiritual grief and bodily pain. Heal all our diseases and deliver us from sinful devilish temptations. Help me proudly carry my worldly Cross, help me endure all the hardships of life that have fallen to my lot. Give me strength in difficult times to keep the image of God in my soul and keep the Orthodox faith until the end of my days. Help at the end of life to reach the Kingdom of Heaven together with those who during their lives pleased God and glorified him. Amen".

Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker during pregnancy

Real support during pregnancy can be obtained if you pray to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. The prayer to this Saint is very short, so you need to use it every day.

The prayer appeal sounds like this:

“Oh, Saint and Great Nicholas the Wonderworker, you supported all the suffering during your lifetime and continue to do so, being in the Kingdom of Heaven. I, the Servant of God (proper name), turn to you for help, hear me and give me a sign of your mercy. Beg the Lord to forgive me all my sins, committed out of my own ignorance. Help me bear my child and find the happiness of motherhood. Amen".
