Offering a prayer to have a baby asks God to bless your life with the gift of parenthood and a child. This is one of the most heartfelt and meaningful prayers.
One of the simplest and best-known verses in the bible that talks about having a baby is from Samuel, ‘I prayed for this child and the Lord granted me what I asked of him’. This gives us all the reason we need to ask for this blessing in a prayer Lord.
Lord God Almighty, I offer the same plea to grant me what I ask of you.
Let us pray.
