Pregnancy Prayers for the First Trimester
1. 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.

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. Thank You for Your promise of giving us peace, so I don’t have to worry about something being wrong with my baby.

Dear Lord, I pray for my baby’s hearing that is developing now. Give him or her perfect hearing with the ears and inner parts of the ear working properly.

I pray that my child will love Your voice and be sensitive to it. Lord, You say in the book of John that Your people hear You and follow You, and that You give them eternal life.

Lord, I also pray that my words express love and are positive, encouraging, life-giving and Bible-based.
I pray that my baby hears only good things coming out of my mouth, and I pray that I will think about what I am going to say before I say it. Help me teach by words and action to speak praise. Show him the path in which You want him to go and help him to spread the Good News of Jesus Christ wherever he goes. Thank you, Jesus, for hearing my prayer. I ask this in Your name. Amen.
