The Fertility Blessing: Prayer for a child

You know my deep desire for a child
A little one to love and to hold, to care for,
to cherish. 

Grant that my body may conceive
and give birth to a beautiful, healthy baby in
Your holy image.

Guide me in all my choices so that this
conception, my pregnancy and my baby’s birth
are in line with Your will.

Heavenly Father and Holy Mother,
hear this prayer of my heart, mind and spirit.

Amen.
