Prayers to help get pregnant have been in demand since ancient times among women who dream of children, or those who could not give their spouse heirs, which, of course, spoiled family relationships. Prayers help to find heirs, to know the joys of motherhood in our days.
As a rule, those who are acutely experiencing the problem of not having children have many questions. Of course, first of all, women turn to doctors, but when they do not find the reason why conception does not occur, they go to temples. At this moment, it becomes important to whom and how to pray, which church to go to, which image to bow to.
Who do they pray for conception?
The question of who to pray for pregnancy is one of the first that arises among women who do not attend church services regularly and are not particularly religious. There are a majority of such people in modern Russia, because the decades of godlessness through which our country happened to go through could not but leave their mark, not affect the mentality.
As a rule, the Mother of God is first of all remembered. Indeed, the Mother of God is the patroness of all women and mothers, giving them hope, consolation, being a stronghold in aspirations and adversity, a protector and intercessor before the Lord. Prayer before the image of the Mother of God never goes unnoticed. The Mother of God always listens to the sincere requests and aspirations of those who come to her with hope and deep faith in their hearts.
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 of Moscow;
- Ksenia of Petersburg;
- Nicholas the Wonderworker;
- Saint Luke.
It is important not to forget that no matter who is prayed to in order to get pregnant and give birth, the main thing is the presence of deep faith in the soul, without this miracle will not happen.
How to pray?
What does it take for a prayer to be heard? This question is the main one for everyone who resorts 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 at least a prayer to get pregnant and give birth will help them find a child, are looking for certain texts, miraculous icons, tasks of churches in which someone has already asked for conception. It's all vain andtestifies 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 "rear" hidden 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.
There are no strict instructions or restrictions on how to seek help from higher powers. Prayer to get pregnant and give birth can be said in your own words, out loud or to yourself, in the temple or at home, in front of the image or without it. Pray for help should be sincere, with hope 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 look for any specific church, but on the other hand, 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, houses of culture, 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 - they lost a special energy, prayed for centuries.
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, givesstrength.
Where to go in the capital to bow to the Matrona?
Undefiled temples are not so few as it might seem at first glance. For example, the church where the icon of Matrona is located in Moscow. The Moscow flock was lucky, in order to get into the temple filled with special spiritual energy and bow to the relics and the miraculous image, it is enough just to go down to the subway and drive through several stations. The temple is located in the very center of the capital and it will not be difficult to find it not only for Muscovites, but also for visitors.
Those who are looking for a place where they pray for conception, easy pregnancy and the birth of a he althy, strong baby, need the Intercession Stauropegial Women's Monastery. This is exactly the place where the relics of the saint reside and where the icon of Matrona is located in Moscow. The Moscow subway, that is, the metro, you need to go to the Taganskaya station.
The flow of pilgrims does not dry up 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 open. You should not forget to take a scarf with you, since those provided by the temple are often not enough. It is also customary to bring fresh flowers to this church. Blessed Matrona of Moscow never leaves those who turn to her without help. But only those whose hearts are pure and full of faith in the power of the Lord should go to her image.
Where in the capital to pray to Nicholas the Wonderworker?
The little-known church near the 1905 metro station is the place where you should pray for the miracle of conception to Nikolai Ugodnik. Prayer to NicholasTo the miracle worker, in order to become pregnant and give birth to a strong baby, he althy and intelligent, she ascended long before Saints Matrona and Xenia entered their earthly lives. From time immemorial, people have been turning to this saint with all their needs and troubles. Even in the most hopeless, hopeless situation, prayer in front of the image of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker helps.
In one of the capital's lanes, near Presnya, there is an inconspicuous, light blue church. There are no crowds of pilgrims here, and there are not very many parishioners at the services. But this is where the real miracles happen. Of course, we are talking about the Church of Nicholas on the Three Mountains. The church is located in Novovagankovsky Lane, the building number is 9. The doors of the temple are open from eight in the morning until six in the evening daily.
Of course, this is not the only church where 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 in the capital.
How to pray to the Mother of God for conception?
Not only women who passionately dream of children turn to the Mother of God with a prayer. Those who ask for grandchildren also pray to the images of the Mother of God. They also pray to her about the field of the future baby. And not a single prayer of the Heavenly Patroness of mothers and women in general is ignored.
Prayer for the onset of pregnancy to the Mother of God can be like this:
Holy Mother of God! Our quick-abiding intercessor before the Throne of Heaven, listening to aspirations and sorrows. Accept my prayer, Queen of Heaven, do not disregard, look down on sorrows, and send consolation. Hear, Mother of God from heights inaccessible, heed my prayer. Do not let my soul fall into despair, strengthen my faith and grant patience.
Clear my mind from doubt and intercede in my aspirations before the Lord. I pray you for the essential, for what God's providence has given to everyone to know. I beg you to grant me, the servant of God (proper name), the joy of knowing the great. To taste motherhood, to conceive a child, to endure and give birth to a he althy one.

I ask you, Blessed Mother of God, for earthly blessings for the soul, for joy for my heart. Amen.”
Of course, you can pray to the Mother of God for conception in your own words. This is even more preferable, since a woman who does not use a ready-made text will not begin to think about the words spoken, which means she will completely concentrate on the main thing, on the essence of prayer.
How to pray to the Mother of God for the appearance of a boy and a girl?
When you are going to ask the Mother of God to grant 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 wish-granting genie from a magic lamp. Church of God is nota supermarket where you can choose what you need and pay for it. Prayer is not a means of payment, not a currency.
That is, you can not approach the request for the conception of a child of a particular gender with the pragmatism of an inhabitant. In order for such prayers to help, you need with all your heart to passionately desire to give birth to 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.
Prayer to get pregnant and give birth to a he althy girl, addressed to the Mother of God, can be like this:
“The Most Holy Mother of God, our intercessor, who knows about every aspiration and care, the patroness of Heaven and the protector of the human race before the Lord! Grant me, the servant of your Son, the joy of knowing inexhaustible. I beg you to grant me a daughter, reasonable and handsome, he althy and submissive to the will of our Lord. I beg you, Mother of God, do not leave me inconsolable, do not allow me to experience loneliness in old age, do not let me spend my life without support. I pray you, strengthen my spirit and faith. Fill my heart with hope and joy. Amen.”
Of course, prayer can also be expressed in your own words. However, the text of the prayer should not be too short, since a person needs time to concentrate on his request, to discard all vain thoughts, to forget about worldly worries. The duration of the reading of the prayer greatly contributes to this.
Prayer to get pregnant and give birth to a he althy boy, addressed to the Mother of God, may sound like this:
Theotokos, Holy Queen of Heaven, at the throne of the Lordan intercessor for people, a protector from temptations and impious intrigues, a comforter in all sorrows and knowing about every sorrow, the Patroness of the human race! Hear my prayer, addressed to you at a difficult hour. Grant me, Mother of God, a son to conceive and raise, the joy to know through him great. May the fruit in the womb be granted to me through your intercession, may it be a son. Amen.”
Prayer for sons is often offered up not only by women, but also by men who want to find an heir of their kind. But there are cases when spouses want not one baby, but a couple at once. In such cases, prayer helps to get pregnant and give birth to twins.
The text of the prayer for the conception of two babies can be like this:
“Most Holy Virgin! I beg you with humility and with deep faith, send me double joy from your generosity, for this burden is feasible and will not be a burden. Grant me, Heavenly Intercessor, the happiness to know twice, to bear not one, but a pair of children. Let the child not grow alone, but share joys and hardships with others. Amen.”
Prayer for the gift of twins is special. As a rule, it is not those who are unable to conceive a baby who turn to the Mother of God with her, but those who dream of double happiness at once.
How to pray for the conception of Saint Matrona?
It is believed that a sincere, full of faith, strong prayer to the Matrona of Moscow can help get pregnant in the most hopeless situations. However, we should not forget: during her lifetime, the old woman was a sincere believer and constantly insisted that power emanates through her.the Lord himself. That is, one must remember that it is not the saint herself who works miracles, not her image or relics, but the Lord. Therefore, there is no need to travel across 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 the Holy Matrona of Moscow, pronounced anywhere, will help. And in the absence of faith, the pilgrimage will be useless. The same rule is true for appeals to other patron saints.
Prayer to the Holy Matrona of Moscow for the gift of conception, easy pregnancy and the birth of a he althy baby can be like this:
“Blessed Mother, Matronushka! Hear, do not leave without help, accept my aspirations, servants of God (proper name). As you are used to, blessed intercessor, to listen to many sorrows in your life, so do not leave alone with worries and aspirations, staying at the Throne of the Lord.
Matronushka, giving wonderful healing and help in our many sorrows! I beg you for help in the miracle of the great conception of a new life. I pray to grant me a child to conceive, endure and give birth he althy and strong. Do not leave, blessed old woman, heed my prayer. Bring my grief to the Lord. Deliver my soul from sorrows and fill it with strong faith. Strengthen my spirit and let my heart be filled with light and expectation. Amen.”
Blessed Matrona of Moscow does not leave without the help of those who ask for her. But this does not mean at all that the prayer to the old woman does not require purity of thoughts and sincerity in intentions, concentration when reading and absolute, uncompromising faith in the power of the Lord. That is, you cannot simply repeat several times inmemorized text, just like motivational slogans are pronounced. The prayer of a saint requires self-giving and complete purification of thoughts from everything vain, what a person’s brain is filled with daily, from morning to night.
How to pray for the conception of Xenia of Petersburg?
The prayer of Xenia of Petersburg for pregnancy is not much different from other similar requests addressed to other saints. Only those who are full of faith in the power of prayer and, of course, in the Lord should ask the saint for help. In the absence of it, there will be no result. A prayer uttered with a "just in case" motivation has no power, it's just words, nothing more.
A prayer for a he althy pregnancy and the very fact of conception addressed to this saint might be:
“Holy unmercenary, most pure Xenia, who spent her life under the shelter of the Lord and tirelessly prayed to God for the aspirations of the people! Beg, I ask you, the Lord our God, to send down to me, His servant (proper name), the knowledge of motherhood. I beg you for conception, for the birth of a he althy baby, to the delight of all people near and far. Beg, Xenia, for there is no evil intent or evil self-interest in my thoughts. Beg, for without worldly benefits and not out of need I ask for a child, but out of a woman’s need and at the behest of my heart, according to my soul’s aspirations. Amen.”
Of course, a prayer to Saint Xenia can be expressed in your own words. It is important to remember that the saint listens only to sincere prayers, completely devoid of any hidden intentions or motives.
Howpray to Saint Luke?
Reverend Luke is not as popular among modern believers as Nicholas the Pleasant or the Mother of God. Meanwhile, in the old days, it was to him that prayer was most often addressed in order to become pregnant and give birth, read. The monk during his lifetime enjoyed honor and respect, was famous for mercy and attention, a sympathetic attitude towards every person. Of course, after his canonization, staying at the Throne of Heaven, St. Luke continues to help the suffering who turn to him.
It is necessary to pray to the Monk Luke for help in sending down the conception in the same way as the rest of the saints - sincerely, and what the text will be pronounced at the same time does not really matter.
A prayer addressed to St. Luke might be:
“Reverend mentor, comforter and great helper, Luke! Do not leave me in the 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 gift of the miracle of birth, conception and motherhood. I ask you to intercede for my soul before the Lord, if I am sinful in anything, not by intent, but by omission. Point out, Luke, the path to redemption, prompt, teach and direct. Enlighten me, servant of God (proper name), fill me with the light of faith, do not let me stumble. Send down the grace of motherhood, help me, Reverend Luke. Amen.”
How to pray to Nicholas the Wonderworker?
Prayer has amazing power. In order to give birth to a he althy child, pregnant women in Russia from time immemorial asked for help and protection of their child in the womb from all evil of St. Nicholas. Faith in the power of prayer was especially strongto the Holy Wonderworker in villages and villages.
You can pray for the he alth of the baby in the womb and for protecting him from all evil as follows:
“Nicholas the Pleasant, father, our intercessor and patron before the eyes of the Lord! Do not leave at a difficult hour, help overcome dark thoughts, evil slander and bad looks. Grant he alth to my child in the womb abiding. Give me the strength to endure and give birth to a baby in good he alth, without any flaw. Do not allow unkind children to be spoiled by people. Do not let me doubt my faith and fill my soul with peace and joy. Amen.”
Very often, with a prayer for the gift of a child, that is, for conception, it is not the women themselves who turn to Nicholas the Wonderworker, but their parents who are expecting grandchildren. You can pray for the pregnancy of your own daughter or the wife of your son like this:
“Nicholas the Wonderworker, merciful heavenly, protector and patron of the human race! Do not disregard, hear my prayer. I teach you, a servant of God (proper name), in the hope of the providence of our Lord. I beg you to help me and send me the happiness of my grandchildren, to see them, to babysit them, to tinker and raise them. Do not leave, Nikolai, send small children to the house of your son (daughter). I will help raise and educate, I will not leave them on the shoulders of children. Let me, while my he alth is strong and my mind is clear, take care of my grandchildren. Grant the conception of my daughter (son's wife). Amen.”
Of course, one cannot be sure that, having prayed before the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, one will soon have to deal with grandchildren. Even if the prayer was uttered with the deepest faith in the heart and without anydoubts about the power of the Lord, without hidden motives, the joy of tinkering with grandchildren may not follow. After all, it is not known whether children want to have offspring, and the Lord always leaves a person the right to choose.
It is better for Nikolay Ugodnik to pray for the onset of pregnancy, the birth of he althy children and the easy bearing of them in his own words. Despite the fact that there are incredibly many different ready-made texts of appeals to this saint, only phrases coming from the heart are able to 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 will be rewarded for it much faster than for any other.
