15 Fertility Prayers If You’re Struggling to Get Pregnant

Published August 25, 2023

Infertility is a very common problem, not just in the US but in the world too. According to data, fertility rates around the world have halved over the past decades. In the US, the CDC estimates that 1 in 4 women have difficulty getting pregnant or carrying a pregnancy to term.

Even in Jesus’ time, infertility had been a common concern, especially for women. In the Bible, there are plenty of stories about women and couples struggling with infertility. From Sarah and Abraham in the Old Testament to Elizabeth and Zechariah in the New Testament, these couples went through a tough time because of their inability to conceive a child.

But if you read their stories through the end, you’ll see how God rewarded them for their faith and patience. Sarah and Abraham had billions of descendants through their son Isaac. Abraham is now even known as the “Father of All Nations”. While Elizabeth and Zechariah gave birth to John the Baptist, who went on to become one of the greatest preachers in the New Testament.

So if you’re having a hard time getting pregnant right now, know that God did not forget you. Nor will he ever do. He has great plans for you, and someday, you’ll see that everything will fall into place in His perfect time. Just keep the faith, and don’t forget to pray. He hears all our prayers and knows all the desires of our hearts.

Here are some fertility prayers if you or someone you know is having a hard time conceiving:

Prayer for Conception

You are the God of my fertility. I pray and hold faith in your word. I beg that You plant a seed into my womb Lord. Not just any seed, but a holy and healthy seed of God.

You said to go forth and be fruitful. So God, I ask this day that You open my womb so that I can bring forth a child and even children.

Just as You opened the womb of Sarah after so many years, I believe that You are and will do the same today. I have faith that You will keep Your promises to Your children.

I know You will quench my desire. Lord, even as Hannah was without a child, You give her a son after her prayer unto You. You heard her supplication. And this day, I know my prayer will not be void unto You, but it will be heard and answered.

Lord, even as you remember Rachel and she conceived, listen to my prayers and me and my family. Enable me to conceive and bear a child.

You said to ask, and it shall be given. This day I ask for fertility in the womb. I break the spirit of barrenness, and I come against every attack of the enemy to prevent my pregnancy. Amen.

Prayer for Motherhood to the Blessed Virgin

Most Holy Mother, hear the cries of my heart right now. Blessed Virgin, I want to be fruitful, but I have not yet been blessed with fertility. Grant me fertility over my life and end my suffering. Help make me a fruitful vine within my house; my children will be like olive shoots around my table. Mother of Mercy, I know I was not created so that I would be fruitless, but your Son created me to be effective in all that I do. I know that my season of fertility will come according to your Son’s timing. Amen.
