Why is prayer important when trying to conceive or adopt?

Prayer connects us to God’s power, peace and heart for our desire for a child. It brings Him into the details and fortifies our trust in His timing. Prayer also equips us spiritually for parenting.

What if I don’t feel God is hearing my prayers for a baby?

God always hears – keep bringing your longing and pain to Him sincerely. But trust His timing, even when it’s hard. He works for our good even if His plan is different than ours.

I’m afraid of being disappointed. Should I not pray big prayers for a child?

It’s understandable to guard your heart – God gave you emotions! But don’t let fear make your prayers small. Pray boldly and trust God with the outcome. If doors close, His comfort will be enough.

Will God think I lack faith in Him if I seek fertility treatments?

Not at all. God works through medicine and gives wisdom to doctors too. Seek holistic advice and continue to pray over any interventions for conception or pregnancy.

Is it OK to pray for a baby of a certain gender?

You can certainly bring these desires to God! But hold them open-handedly in submission to His wisdom for your child. Any baby, boy or girl, is a blessing.

What prayers bring comfort after the loss of a pregnancy?

Pour out your grief honestly to God. Let Him carry your sorrow. Cling to His promises of hope and healing. Prayers grieving with faith that the child is now in Heaven can bring eventual peace.

How can I support someone praying for a baby?

Listen compassionately, cry with them and pray alongside them. Don’t offer unsolicited advice, but point them to God.
