Morning Prayer during Pregnancy

Lord God the Father, what Thou hast created, Lord God the Son, what Thou hast redeemed, Lord God the Holy Ghost, what Thou hast sanctified, I commit into Thy hands. To Thy name be praise, honor, glory and thanksgiving in this morning hour and to all eternity. Amen.

O gracious, kind and merciful God, who art the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning! I thank Thee from my inmost soul that Thou hast so graciously guarded me during the past night, and hast permitted me to behold once more the glad light of day. O Thou Light of my soul! grant me this morning a bright light in my heart, that I may be strengthened in love toward Thee, and in trust and hope. Sanctify my soul, and let me walk with Thee today. Let me meditate upon Thee, find my delight in Thee, and comfort myself with the thought of Thy mercy. Grant that I may not willfully sin against Thee today, but walk before Thee in holiness and righteousness, and obey Thee as Thy child. Let me remember that Thou art always with and about me, and hearest all that I say, and seest all that I do; so that I may be encouraged and admonished to continue faithful to Thee, and not to offend Thee.

I commit my life into Thy hands. I commend my body to Thy care. Do Thou watch over my steps. O God of all goodness and mercy, Thou hast placed me in a condition in which I have special need of Thy protection and grace. Therefore, Thou Defense of Thy children, I humbly beseech Thee to watch over my going out and my coming in. Let Thy grace guide me, and Thy angel lead me by the hand, that I may not slip, nor fall, nor injure myself or the fruit of my body. Preserve me, strengthen me, support me. Ward off everything that would be hurtful to me. Let Thy good Spirit guide me in safety. Enable me to reach the evening unharmed. Then will I thank Thee for all the benefits which Thou hast graciously bestowed upon me in body and soul.

And now, O Lord, bless me and keep me: Lord, let Thy face shine upon me, and be gracious unto me: Lord, lift up Thy countenance upon me, and give me peace. The grace of the Father defend me; the love of Jesus shelter me; the succor of the Holy Spirit sustain me now and evermore. O bless me when I sleep and when I wake. Bless me in all my ways, and take not Thy blessing from me. Amen.
