Prayer for Comfort in Pregnancy

O loving God and Father! How shall I sufficiently acknowledge, thank, and praise the Fatherly faithfulness which has placed me in my present condition. Lord, Thou hast remembered me in mercy, and granted me this blessing of wedlock. And though this condition involves hardships, I vet know that I enjoy Thy favor, and that my state is one which Thou has ordained and with which Thou art well pleased. Thou knowest, Lord, that I have not entered upon marriage frivolously; that I have been chaste, and have shunned the company of the impure and the wanton; and that I have entered into wedlock in Thy fear, in chastity, and to Thy glory. And now that Thou hast remembered me in mercy, and bestowed a blessing upon me, I receive it as a gift from Thy hands.

O Lord, let me experience Thy grace. Be merciful unto me, hear my prayers and sighs, and let my supplications find acceptance at Thy throne of grace. Defend and guide and guard me. Comfort me when I am sad, and let Thy Spirit always bear witness with my spirit that I am Thy child. Be my Refuge to whom I may ever flee, and before whom I may pour out my heart. Cheer me when I am despondent; strengthen me when I am faint. Be my Helper, and assure me that Thou art with me in trouble, and wilt deliver me. Be my Support when I suffer pain and discomfort. Be my Deliverer, and in due time loose my bonds and grant me gladness, heavenly Father, be my Strength. O, support, strengthen and sustain me. Jesus, be my Intercessor to plead for me with the Father, and to bring my weak and pain-laden prayer before Him. Holy Ghost, be my Comforter, and assure me, that I enjoy God’s favor, that I am His child; that I shall have a happy delivery, and receive help from above. Yea, Thou Triune God, be with me in my present state. Then shall I be comforted, protected, guarded, and delivered. Amen.
