Since ancient times, prayers that help to get pregnant have been in demand among women dreaming of children, or those who could not give spouses any heirs, which, of course, spoiled relations in the family. Prayers help to find heirs, to know the joys of motherhood today.
As a rule, those who are acutely experiencing the problem of the absence of children have many questions. Of course, first of all, women turn to doctors, but when they do not find a reason why conception does not occur, they go to temples. At that moment, it becomes important who and how to pray, which church to go to, and which image to worship.
To whom do they pray for conception?
The question of who to pray for pregnancy is one of the first questions that arise for women who do not attend church services regularly and who are not particularly religious. Most of these people in modern Russia, because the decades of godlessness through which our country had to go through, could not help but leave their mark, not affect the mentality.
As a rule, the Mother of God is first remembered. Indeed, the Mother of God is the patroness of all women and mothers, giving them hope, comfort, which is a bulwark in the aspirations and tribulations, a protector and intercessor before the Lord. Praying before the image of the Mother of God is never left without attention. The Virgin Mary always hears the sincere requests and aspirations of those who come to her with hope and deep faith in her heart.
But besides the Mother of God, other saints also pray for conception. Among those who from time immemorial have been helping women find family happiness and experience the joys of motherhood:
- Matrona Moscow;
- Ksenia of Petersburg;
- Nikolai the Miracle Worker;
- St. Luke.
It is important not to forget that no matter who the prayer is addressed to become pregnant and give birth, the main thing is the presence of deep faith in the soul, without this miracle it will not happen.
How to pray?
What is needed for prayer to be heard? This question is the main one for all who resort to prayer in the last hope of waiting for a miracle, having tried everything that is possible outside the walls of the temple. Often desperate women, hoping that even a prayer to get pregnant and give birth, will help them find a baby, they look for certain texts, miraculous icons, tasks of churches in which someone already asked for conception. This is all vain and testifies to some hysteria, panic reigning in the soul.
In order for the prayer to be heard, only one thing is required - a deep and sincere faith in the power of the Lord, purity in the heart and the absence of "back" secret thoughts, selfish motives. This means that if a woman does not want children, but she needs to conceive due to circumstances, prayer will not help.
In the same way that higher forces should seek help, there are no strict requirements or restrictions. A prayer to become pregnant and give birth can be pronounced in one’s own words, either out loud or to oneself, in a temple or at home, before or without an image. Praying for help should be sincere, with trust in it and absolute faith in the power of the Lord — there are no other rules.
Which temple is better to go to?
This question is also important. On the one hand, there is no need to search for any particular church, but on the other, the peculiarities of the historical development of our country should be taken into account. A huge number of churches during the years of Soviet power were used as warehouse buildings, cultural houses, industrial workshops and for other similar purposes. The temples were desecrated and destroyed, not only in the literal sense of the word, but also figuratively - in them a special energy, prayed for centuries, was lost.
Of course, one should not go to such a church if one's own faith is not particularly strong. The moment of where the prayed miraculous images are located is also important. After all, this adds confidence that the prayer will be heard, that is, it strengthens spiritually, gives strength.
Where to go in the capital to bow to Matron?
Not defiled churches are not so few as it might seem at first glance. For example, the church where the Matron icon is located in Moscow. The Moscow flock was lucky to get into the temple filled with special spiritual energy and bow to the relics and the miraculous image, just go down to the subway and drive through several stations. The temple is located in the very center of the capital and finding it will not be difficult not only for Muscovites, but also visitors.
Those who are looking for a place where they pray for conception, easy pregnancy and the birth of a healthy, strong baby, need the Pokrovsky Women's Stauropegial Monastery. This is exactly the place where the relics of the saint are and where the icon of the Matrona is located in Moscow. Moscow subway, that is, the subway, you need to go to the station Taganskaya.
The flow of pilgrims does not dry out at any time of the year. The temple opens its doors in the early morning and closes at eight in the evening. Also, from eight in the morning until 20:00, the local church shop is also open. You should not forget to take a scarf with you, since the ones provided by the temple are often not enough. It is also customary to bring fresh flowers to this church. The Blessed Matron of Moscow never leaves without the help of those who turn to her. But to go to her image follows only those whose heart is pure and full of faith in the power of the Lord.
Where in the capital to pray to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker?
A little-known church near the 1905 metro station is the place where you should pray for the miracle of conception to Nikolai Ugodnik. The prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker to get pregnant and give birth to a strong baby, healthy and smart, was offered long before the saints Matron and Ksenia entered their earthly lives. From time immemorial, this saint has been addressed with all needs and troubles. Even in the most hopeless, hopeless situation, prayer before the image of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker helps.
In one of the capital's alleys, near Presnya, there is an inconspicuous, light blue church. There are no crowds of pilgrims, and the services are not very many parishioners. But this is where real miracles happen. Of course, we are talking about the temple of Nicholas on the Three Mountains. The church is located in Novovagankovsky Lane, building number - 9. The doors of the temple are open from eight in the morning until six in the evening every day.
Of course, this is far from the only church in which you can turn to Nikolai Ugodnik in Moscow. There are a lot of temples built in honor of the Miracle Worker and famous among believers for their spiritual energy.
How to pray to the Virgin for conception?
Not only women who passionately dream of children turn with a prayer to the Mother of God. Those who ask for grandchildren fall to the images of the Virgin with prayer. They also pray to her about the field of the future baby. And not a single plea from Heavenly Patroness of mothers and women in general does not leave without attention.
A prayer for the onset of pregnancy to the Virgin may be:
“Blessed Mother of God! Our quick-novice intercessor before the throne of heaven, the aspirations and sorrows of the omnipresent. Accept my prayer, Queen of Heaven, do not disregard, contemplate sorrow, may comfort be granted. Hear, Mother of God from the heights of the inaccessible, heeded my prayer. Do not let the soul fall into despair, strengthen my faith and grant patience.
Cleanse my mind from doubt and stand up in my aspirations before the Lord. I beseech you about the essentials, about the fact that God has given God's providence to everyone to know. I beg you to grant me, a servant of God (proper name), the joy of knowing the great. Maternity to taste, conceive a child, endure and give birth to a healthy one. Do not leave, ask, grant a miracle of birth to experience, to nurse a child and to feed, to grow up in the glory of the Lord, and to learn.
Look, blessed Mother of God, my sorrows and aspirations. I trust in you, Our Intercessor, Queen of Heaven. Do not allow yourself to fall into anguish and rid the mind of harmful thoughts, of evil comers. Do not let the heart break the world, do not let the soul turn into sin. I ask you, Blessed Mother of God, for the blessings of the earth for the soul, for joy for my heart. Amen".
Of course, you can pray the Virgin for conception in your own words. This is even more preferable, because a woman who does not use the finished text will not think about the spoken words, which means that she will completely concentrate on the main thing, on the essence of prayer.
How to pray to the Virgin for the appearance of a boy and girl?
If you are going to ask the Mother of God to give not just a miracle of conception, but the birth of a boy or a girl, you need to understand that prayer is not a spell. Our Lady is not a genie from a magic lamp, fulfilling wishes. The Church of God is not a supermarket where you can choose the right one and pay for it. Prayer is not a means of payment, not a currency.
That is, it is impossible to approach the request for conception of a child of a particular gender with the pragmatism of the layman. In order for such prayers to help, one must wholeheartedly desire to give birth to just a girl or a boy. In your dreams you need to see not an abstract baby, but a concrete one, namely a daughter or a son.
A prayer to get pregnant and give birth to a healthy girl, addressed to the Mother of God, may be:
“The Most Holy Mother of God, our intercessor, knows about every aspiration and care, patroness of heaven and protector of the human race before the Lord! Grant me, the slave of your Son, the joy of knowing the inexhaustible. I beseech you to give my daughter a rational and fit, healthy and obedient to the will of our Lord. I pray you, Mother of God, do not leave inconsolable, do not allow yourself to experience loneliness in old age, do not let life lead without support. I pray you, my spirit and faith will strengthen. Fill my heart with hope and joy. Amen".
Of course, a prayer can be expressed in your own words. However, the text of the prayer should not be too brief, since a person needs time to concentrate on his request, to drop all vain thoughts, to forget about worldly concerns. The length of the prayer is greatly facilitated.
A prayer to get pregnant and give birth to a healthy boy, addressed to the Mother of God, may sound like this:
“The Mother of God, the Most Holy Queen of Heaven, the intercessor at the throne of the Lord for people, the protector of temptations and unholy machinations, the comforter in all sorrows and knowing about every sorrow, the Patroness of the human race! Hear my prayer, at a difficult time, addressed to you. Grant me, Mother of God, a son to conceive and grow, the joy to know through him the great. May the fruit be given to me in the womb of your intercession, may it be a son. Amen".
Prayer for sons is often offered not only by women, but also by men who want to find a kindred heir. But there are often cases when spouses want not just one baby, but just a couple. In such cases, prayer helps to get pregnant and give birth to twins.
The text of a prayer for the conception of two babies may be as follows:
“The Most Holy Virgin the Most Pure! I pray you with humility and with deep faith, send me joys twice from your bounties, because this burden is feasible and will not be a burden. Grant me, Intercessor of Heaven, to doubly know happiness, to bear not only one, but a couple of little ones. Let the child not only grow, but share the joys and hardships with the other. Amen".
The prayer for the bestowal of twins is special. As a rule, not those who are unable to conceive a baby, but those who dream of double happiness immediately turn to her.
How to pray for the conception of St. Matron?
It is believed that a sincere, full of faith, strong prayer to Matrona of Moscow can help to get pregnant in the most hopeless situations. However, one should not forget: during the life of the old woman, she was sincerely believing and constantly asserted that the power of the Lord himself emanated through her. That is, you need to remember that miracles do not work the saint herself, not her image or power, but the Lord. Therefore, there is no need to go through half the country to the capital to bow to the relics of the holy old woman. With sufficient faith in the power of the Lord, the prayer to St. Matrona of Moscow, pronounced anywhere, will help. And in the absence of faith, a pilgrimage will be useless. The same rule applies to appeals to other holy intercessors.
A prayer to St. Matrona of Moscow for the granting of conception, easy pregnancy and the birth of a healthy baby can be this:
“Blessed mother, Matronushka! Hear, do not leave without help, accept my aspirations, my servants of God (proper name). As you, the blessed intercessor, are accustomed to listening to the sorrows of many in your life, do not leave alone with the cares and aspirations of the Lord staying at the Throne.
Matronushka, miraculous healing granting and aiding in many of our sorrows! I beg you for help in the miracle of the great conception of a new life. I pray to grant me to conceive, bear and give birth to healthy and strong. Do not leave, blessed old woman, heeded my prayer. Bring my sorrow to the Lord. Deliver my soul from sorrows and fill it with strong faith. Strengthen my spirit and let the heart fill with light and expectation. Amen".
The Blessed Matron of Moscow does not leave without the help of those who ask for her. But this does not mean at all that praying to the old woman does not require purity of thoughts and sincerity in intentions, concentration in reading and absolute, uncompromising faith in the power of the Lord. That is, you can’t just repeat a memorized text several times a day, just like motivational slogans pronounce. The holy prayer requires dedication and a complete cleansing of thoughts from all the vain, that which is filled with the human brain daily, from morning to night.
How to pray for the conception of Xenia of Petersburg?
Ksenia of Petersburg's prayer for pregnancy is not much different from other similar requests addressed to other holy saints. The saint should be asked for help only to those who are full of faith in the power of prayer and, of course, in the Lord. If it is absent, there will be no result. Prayer, uttered with motivation “just in case”, has no power, these are just words, nothing more.
A prayer for a healthy pregnancy and the very fact of conception, addressed to this saint, can be this:
“Holy disinterestedness, the pure Xenia, who had lived her life under the shelter of the Lord, and prayed without tiredness about the aspirations of the human god! Please, I ask you, Lord of our God, to send me, his servant (proper name) the knowledge of motherhood. I beg you to ask for conception, for the birth of a healthy baby, to the joy of all people close and distant. Please, Ksenia, for there is no evil intention in my thoughts or self-serving evil. Please, for without worldly benefit and not out of need I ask for a child, but according to the need of a woman and at the behest of my heart, according to my soul’s aspiration. Amen".
Of course, a prayer to Saint Xenia can be expressed in his own words. It is important to remember that the saint hears only sincere prayers, completely devoid of any hidden intentions or motives.
How to pray to St. Luke?
Rev. Luke is not as popular among modern believers as Nicholas the Pleasant or the Mother of God. Meanwhile, in antiquity it was to him that prayer was most often addressed to him to become pregnant and give birth, read. The monk during his life enjoyed honor and respect, was famous for charity and attention, and a sympathetic attitude to each person. Of course, after the canonization, while staying at the Throne of Heaven, St. Luke continues to help those who suffer from him.
Rev. Luke should be prayed for help in sending the conception down as the rest of the saints — sincerely, and what the text being spoken would be of no particular significance.
The prayer addressed to Rev. Luke may be:
“Reverend Mentor, Comforter and Great Assistant, Luke! Do not leave me in an hour of doubt, strengthen my spirit, fill me with the light of faith, and do not let me doubt the providence of the Lord. I beg you for help, for the granting of a miracle of birth, conception and motherhood. I ask you, stand up for my soul before the Lord, if I am sinful in what, not by intention, but by omission. Point, Luke, the path to redemption, tell me, teach and guide. Teach me, servant of God (proper name), fill with the light of faith, do not let me stumble. The grace of motherhood has come, help me, Rev. Luke. Amen".
How to pray to Nicholas the Wonderworker?
Amazing power is prayer. To give birth to a healthy baby, pregnant women in Russia from time immemorial have asked for help and protection of their offspring in the womb from all evil Nikolai Ugodnik. Especially strong was the belief in the power of prayer to the holy Miracle Worker in villages and villages.
You can pray for the health of the baby in the womb and protect him from all that is bad:
“Nicholas the Pleasant, father, intercessor and our patron in the sight of the Lord! Do not leave at a difficult time, help to overcome dark thoughts, evil libels and bad looks. Grant health to my child in the womb. Give me strength to bear and give birth to a baby in good health, without any flaw. Do not allow people to spoil unkind children. Do not let me doubt my faith and fill my soul with peace and joy. Amen".

« , , ! , . , ( ), . , , . , , (). , . , , . ( ). Amen".

To pray for the onset of pregnancy, the birth of healthy children and the easy bearing of them to Nikolai Ugodnik is better in your own words. Despite the fact that there are an incredible amount of various ready-made texts of appeals to this saint, only phrases that come from the heart can express as accurately and fully as possible everything that a person feels. Accordingly, it is precisely such a prayer that will be fully heard and rewarded with it much faster than with any other.
