At all times, women's happiness has been associated with the birth of he althy children. Previously, in Russia it was considered the norm when a family had at least ten offspring. Now women often try to climb the career ladder, earn money, live for their own pleasure, and only then think about having a child. However, such a careless attitude to their main life purpose leads to the fact that all over the world the fair sex is increasingly faced with serious problems with childbearing. Many women suffer from constant miscarriages and missed pregnancies, various gynecological diseases that prevent conception, and other problems that in the modern world are often associated with the environment and regular stress. However, the holy fathers look at this situation differently, they believe that pregnancy is a special condition that requireshigh spirituality and purity. And you can achieve it only by visiting the temple and special prayers for pregnant women.
When there is a threat of miscarriage and other problems, we always remember the Almighty and turn to him with sincere requests, but do not forget that in anticipation of the birth of a small miracle, you must constantly pray. This not only has a positive effect on the expectant mother, but also soothes her baby in the womb. Today we will tell you about who and how exactly you need to contact in order to endure and give birth to a he althy baby. And also we will give the text of the prayer with the threat of miscarriage, for successful conception, quick and quick birth. We hope that our article will help many women find the happiness of motherhood through turning to God.
Pregnancy from the point of view of Orthodoxy
The Holy Fathers consider the birth of a new life a real gift from the Almighty. They often say that only the Creator knows when the time comes for a woman to become a mother. At the same time, they are convinced that many he alth troubles and troubles can be avoided thanks to spiritual harmony and unity with higher powers.
Usually, every expectant mother, just seeing two cherished strips on the test, experiences not only indescribable joy, but also fear for her unborn baby. It's no secret that every year fewer and fewer he althy children are born. And quite prosperous parents can face a lot of problems associated with bearing a baby. In addition, modern gynecologists are not shyfrighten women with all sorts of complications and difficulties that await them during pregnancy. Not surprisingly, in such a situation, almost everyone is faced with the threat of miscarriage. However, even doctors are often surprised by the power that a pregnant woman's prayer has.
American scientists were able to prove that when turning to God, a special energy field is created around the expectant mother, which not only calms her down, but also normalizes metabolic processes in the body. Naturally, this has a positive effect on the course of pregnancy. Indeed, at all times, women in an interesting position were recommended peace and positive emotions.
Even with the threat of a miscarriage, prayer to the saints and the Lord can be an incredible effective tool that surprises even doctors who have already diagnosed and practically sentenced the unborn child to non-existence. Therefore, every clergyman advises turning to the Creator not only at critical moments, but also before conceiving a baby. After all, by this moment a woman must also be spiritually ready. It is believed that from the moment a new life is born, the expectant mother seems to be cleansed of all past sins and filled with a special light. However, the holy fathers recommend that parishioners in no case neglect the prescriptions of doctors. A prudent expectant mother, in order to bear her long-awaited baby, must comply with all medical recommendations, the prescribed regimen and come to the appointment on time, as well as be sure to visit the temple and not forget about praying to the Lord God.
Rules for addressing the Creator about the birth of a child
WhenIn case of a threatened miscarriage, praying for the preservation of the pregnancy seems to the sad woman the only solution to the problem. But often the expectant mother lacks the strength of faith and elementary knowledge on how to properly ask God for the birth of her baby. Indeed, in Orthodoxy there are special traditions that require women in position to observe a certain ritual so that their prayers are heard.
First of all, the holy fathers affirm that the prayer of a pregnant woman will have special power if it is pronounced with sincere desire, a pure heart and faith in the Lord. When an expectant mother utters the words of a prayer with pure thoughts and relies on the Creator's plan in everything, then it is likely that her prayers will be heard, and the baby will still be born into this world.
It is also obligatory to confess before prayer and take communion. In this case, the soul of a woman receives cleansing from all sins and it is much easier for her to convey her cherished request to the Heavenly Father.
Priests advise pregnant women to turn to the Creator with a prayer in case of a threatened miscarriage daily. This work will definitely benefit the expectant mother and her unborn child. Even better, if a woman prays for the salvation of her crumbs twice a day.
The very prayer to the Lord God should not be mixed with worldly concerns and thoughts. A woman needs to concentrate and abandon any other business. It will not be superfluous to stand in front of the icons and light church candles. In this case, a special atmosphere is created that encourages communication with the Creator. Many holy fathers advise the expectant mother totraditional words of prayer for threatened miscarriage and other problems with childbearing, add your own words and requests. Often they come from the very depths of the soul, therefore they carry a special power.
Of course, following all the above rules, we must not forget about the doctor's recommendations. If there are obstacles to the successful outcome of your pregnancy, then be sure to listen to your doctor and then, with God's help, your long-awaited baby will be born.
Types of prayers
Since during pregnancy a woman may have completely different problems, the priests will advise you to solve several types of prayers. With the threat of a miscarriage (in the early stages, including), this will be an appeal to preserve the pregnancy. There are also special prayers for conception, successful childbirth, the proper development of the baby, and so on. Church ministers can even advise whom to turn to for a long-awaited son or daughter. Saints can help in all this. After all, each of them has a special gift to heal and help in certain situations.
The essence of prayer
Many Orthodox think about what is the essence of prayer for bearing a child. In fact, any spiritual mentor will answer this question for you. The ministers of the church argue that the matter is not at all in the words and saints to whom they are addressed. If the prayer comes from the heart, then it will certainly be heard. Therefore, when you do not know which icon to approach and light a candle for your future baby, then just go totemple and pray.
Over time, you will be able to learn from familiar women or priests the very cherished words that need to be said to one or another saint. However, this does not detract from the power of the prayer that is addressed to the Lord with the simplest words that are understandable to every person in trouble.
Who should pregnant women pray to?
You can turn to Orthodox prayers in case of a threatened miscarriage, for example, to various saints. Any of them will help future mothers, but it is still customary to ask about the he alth of the baby in front of certain icons and with special words. Most often, young women who dream of bearing and giving birth to a he althy child seek help from:
- Jesus Christ.
- Matrona of Moscow.
- Holy Mother of God.
- Paraskev Friday.
- To Alexander Svirsky.
It is also not forbidden to pray to Xenia of Petersburg and Nicholas the Wonderworker. In the following sections of the article, we will present the most famous texts of appeals to saints about the he alth of the unborn baby and pregnant woman.
Appeal to the Lord God
When there are certain he alth problems, young women in position most often turn directly to Jesus Christ. This is the first thing that comes to their mind. Many pregnant women said that when there was a threat of a miscarriage, they prayed incessantly and the Lord showed them a miracle, saving the baby.
Therefore, it is not surprising that we decided to indicate this one as the first prayer. It is quite long and many women do not alwayscan remember it the first time. There is nothing wrong with this, because the text can be written down on a piece of paper and read from it in the temple or at home. Over time, the words will stick in your memory and in any critical situation you will be able to pray to the Lord for the preservation of the baby in your womb and its proper development.
Be sure that God hears the prayer of every woman, so do not lose faith if you do not immediately feel the desired result. Remember that prayer is work. And he will surely be rewarded with good.
Prayer to Mother Matrona: the story of a saint
This saint is addressed in many situations and almost always she guides and helps the Orthodox. This fate was prepared for her even before birth, because the girl's mother could not feed her and, while still pregnant, decided to give her up to strangers. However, the Lord sent her a dream, where he explained the value that this girl has for Christianity. The mother immediately heeded the words of the Almighty and no longer even thought about getting rid of the child.
Matrona was born with empty eye sockets, and at baptism the priests drew the attention of the audience to the fragrance that spilled over the temple at the moment when the saint was dipped into the water. This was a good omen, and everyone expected real miracles from the girl.
Approximately at the age of seven, Matrona received her sight spiritually. She began to predict people's fates and heal them from diseases. The saint was distinguished by great piety and she spent most of her time within the walls of the temple in prayer. At the age of seventeen, she lost the ability to walk, and from that time on she often lived among strangers. However, suffering people found her everywhere, and Matrona refused to help anyone. Many wrote that she heals with prayer. There is a huge amount of evidence of the miracles that the saint performed during her lifetime. And before her death, she bequeathed to come to her with any trouble, so that she could make life easier for the Orthodox.
How to pray to a saint?
In order for the prayer to Mother Matrona to be more effective, women come to the Intercession Monastery, where her relics are kept. Even before entering, many begin to read a prayer, we give its text below. Once in front of the relics, you must bow twice and overshadow yourself with the sign of the cross. When applying to the icon, you need to mentally ask the saint about what is hidden in the soul. When departing, the woman should cross herself one more time.
Those who Matrona helped to conceive and safely bear a baby say that before visiting the relics of a saint, it is better to fast for nine days. And the appeal itself should begin with a request to forgive and have mercy for the sins committed earlier. In this case, the Matrona will treat the suppliant more favorably and will certainly extend a helping hand to her.
Surprisingly, often he althy babies after visiting the Intercession Monastery give birth to women who were given birth many years agothe diagnosis of "infertility", and pregnant women, whose chances of successfully bearing a child, doctors approached zero. Therefore, after visiting the relics, you should not stop praying to the Matrona, because you can do this at home. But, we repeat, the appeal to the saint must come from a pure heart.
Prayer to the Mother of God in case of threatened miscarriage
During pregnancy, a woman faces a lot of dangers and difficulties. Few people can boast that they bore a child easily and have never faced the danger of a miscarriage. Unfortunately, most women, being in position, have serious concerns about the he alth of their unborn baby. In such difficult moments, many turn to the Mother of God for help.
She, like no one else, is able to help expectant mothers not to lose faith and hope. The Virgin Mary is approached with completely different problems, so today we will give in the article a few prayers suitable for pregnant women.
If you are constantly afraid for the fate of your unborn child, and doctors doubt whether you will be able to bear the baby, then do not despair and seek help from the Mother of God. There is a special prayer for this occasion, its text is quite easy to remember.
Best of all, if you pray in front of the image of the Mother of God. However, in the absence of the necessary icon, you can simply turn to the Mother of God at any time convenient for you.
A mother's prayer for her pregnant daughter
Absolutely all relatives can pray for a woman in position, it will besupport and empower her. The mother's prayer for a pregnant daughter is especially important when there is a threat of miscarriage. After all, only the woman who herself bore a child knows how complicated this process is. And mothers are not only very worried about their daughters, but literally at a distance feel what is happening to them. Many admit that during the period when the daughter was carrying a baby under her heart, they were much more worried than they once were for themselves in the same position.
Therefore, in difficult situations, a mother should take on prayer work and seek help from the Mother of God with these words.
They help with the threat of miscarriage, in case of difficult childbirth and just when you need to give strength to a pregnant woman.
Help with childbirth
It's no secret that the birth process is a very difficult test, during which the life of mother and baby is often endangered. The woman in labor herself cannot always turn to the saints for help at this time, but relatives can help her if they get the right icon.
To give birth quickly and as painlessly as possible helps the icon "Quick Hearing". The prayer of the Virgin about this image must be read at the most difficult moment, when the process of the birth of a new life into the world is at its most active stage.
Women, for whom relatives prayed before the "Quick Hearing", said that they were surprisingly quickly relieved from the burden and felt after childbirthfull of energy.
In conclusion, I would like to say that saints often help with the gender of the unborn baby. If you just need a daughter, then contact Paraskeva Pyatnitsa. But Saint Alexander Svirsky will help to become the parents of the heir. But do not forget that your prayer must be sincere, and your heart must be pure and not clouded by bad thoughts.
