Prayer for Infertility
The Prayer
Loving God,
You are the giver of life and the author of every good gift. I come before You with a heart that longs for a child and with questions that feel heavy to carry. You know the hope I hold, the tears I have shed, and the waiting that feels so uncertain.
Lord, if it is Your will, bless us with the gift of new life. Heal what is broken, restore what is weak, and guide the hands and hearts of those who care for us. If Your plan looks different than I expect, give me the grace to trust You, to remain faithful, and to believe that my life still bears deep meaning and purpose.
Wrap us in Your peace, strengthen our love, and remind us that we are never forgotten in Your sight.
Amen.
