Pregnancy Fertility Prayer

I decided to compose a prayer for the new year related to our infertility and recurrent loss...praying in faith to God!

Dear Gracious Creator Lord: You created everything that is and all of life is yours. You give life and you take it away. Your ways are inscrutable and your ways are not our ways, but your ways are always true and just. In our human frailty, we call out to you in prayer and ask you to hear us. We come boldy to your throne in Your Son Jesus' name, knowing that you ARE a loving God and Father who cares "for the least of these." We know that with you "ALL things are possible": You are the God that created the world, spoke through a burning bush, freed the Israelites from bondage, broke down the walls of Jericho, raised up prophets and kings, brought victory when victory was otherwise impossible, and you deigned to come to earth, God in human form in the guise of a little baby, in order to rescue us from sin and death. You have conquered evil in Jesus through the cross and the resurrection and you have redeemed humanity in your faithful love and mercy. You are ALMIGHTY GOD. Your miracles are too many to number! You have blessed older, barren women with babies, women like Sarah and Elizabeth, and then you blessed a virgin to become the mother of the Son of God. Nothing is too great for you!

And so I pray on behalf of all women suffering with infertility and pregnancy loss and ask you to grant us, as is Your will, healthy children. And Lord, this year I ask that you give my husand and I health of body and mind and that you please bless me and my family with a healthy baby, that we may rejoice and give you praise, because you are a God who turns weeping into joy and mourning into dancing. We pray earnestly for the joy, the blessing, and the miracle of a healthy baby in 2011. We ask not because we are worthy or because we deserve it, we ask because you are merciful and gracious, abounding in steadfast love, and able to do all things. O God, our strength, our hope, and our redeemer, our hope is in you and you alone. Thank you Lord. In Jesus' Holy Name I pray. AMEN.
