When a long-awaited pregnancy still does not occur, many women remember that there is a prayer for conceiving a child. Unfortunately, a woman’s mere desire to give birth to a baby is often not enough. Chronic diseases of the reproductive system, previous abortions, bad habits and poor lifestyle - all this often reduces the likelihood of getting pregnant easily and without difficulty.
Orthodox believers say that in addition to drug treatment, the power of prayer to Saint Matrona or other Saints for conceiving a child is very important. Or maybe sometimes you really need to put your skepticism aside and just believe in a miracle?
It is rare that despair does not lead a person to search for any possible ways to solve the problem. When expensive tests and treatment do not bring results, and pregnancy still does not occur, women and her family members often turn to God in prayer to conceive a healthy child, hoping that this will help them achieve what they want. According to Orthodox believers, the power of words spoken with sincere faith and humility brings great fruit. Often the human mind cannot explain how this happens.
When reading prayers for conception and the safe birth of a healthy child, there is no need to stop treatment with traditional medicine.
There is no significant difference where and how a person will pray. This can be done both in the temple and at home. When turning to God, you should calm down, retire, turn off the TV and other objects that may distract you from prayer. It is believed that when pronouncing her words, you must believe with all your heart and imagine the pregnancy that has taken place.
What prayers are there?
You can make prayers for other problems related to the inability to bear and give birth to a baby to many Saints. It is believed that the prayer before the conception of a child, addressed to the Saints, has great power, since God's righteous people in heaven intercede before the Lord on behalf of the person asking.
Prayer to the Mother of God
The Mother of God is a model of feminine and maternal perfection. It was her who was chosen by the Almighty to carry and give birth to Jesus Christ. It is she, more than anyone else, who is able to understand the grief of a woman who cannot get pregnant. Many believe that praying to the Mother of God for the conception of a child allows a miracle of life to happen and save the baby in the mother’s womb.
“O Most Holy Virgin, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, intercessor of all sinful faithful who ask! Look down from the heights of your heavenly throne, turn your gaze to the obscene me who stands before your icon. Hear my humble prayer, and lift it up to the Almighty Lord. Pray to Your only Son to lower his eyes on me, a sinner! May He illuminate the sinful soul with the light of heavenly grace, may He cleanse my mind from worldly burdens and indecent worries. May He forgive all the evil deeds I have done, may He protect me from eternal torment and may He not deprive me of His Heavenly Kingdom!
Blessed Mother of God! You deigned to be baptized in Your image, and commanded me to come to You with every prayer and request. In You, Lord, is all my hope, yes, all my hope. I run under Your Cover, and present myself under Your intercession forever. I praise and thank our Lord, who has granted me the happiness of marriage. I pray to You, Mother of our Lord Jesus Christ, may the Almighty send me and my husband a child. May He give me the fruit of my womb. Change the sorrow in my soul, and grant me the joy of motherhood. I glorify You all the days of my life! Amen".
Prayer to Matrona of Moscow
When it is not possible to get pregnant, many believers advise turning to Matronushka of Moscow and asking her to conceive a child. From childhood, she had the gift of seeing people's sins and healing their illnesses. To this day, when women suffering from infertility turn to Saint Matrona in prayer, healing occurs.
If there is such an opportunity, then it is better to go to a temple under the patronage of this saint, for example, in Moscow, and light a candle in front of her image and read the prayer words about the gift of a child.
“Blessed is Mother Matrona! We resort to Your intercession and tearfully pray to You. Shed a sincere prayer to the sinful servants of the Lord before the Throne of our Almighty Creator. For the Word of God is true: ask and it will be given to you. Hear our groanings and bring them to the throne of Heaven, for the prayer of His righteous can accomplish much before God. May the Master hear our requests, may he have mercy, may he send us the long-awaited child, may he place the fruit in the mother’s womb. Truly, just as the Lord sent descendants to Abraham and Sarah, Elizabeth and Zechariah, Anna and Joachim, so did he send them to us. May the Lord do this according to His mercy and boundless love for mankind. May it be so forever and ever. Amen".
The prayer to Matrona for conceiving a child must be read with complete faith and trust in the power of the Holy Intercessor.
Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker
Prayers for conception and the appearance of a healthy child in the family are offered not only to Matrona. Saint Nicholas is also the patron of families, mothers and small children. He is advised to make prayers if he cannot get pregnant for a long time.
The text of the prayer for conceiving a child, read in front of the icon to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker:
“Oh, Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker! Beloved saint of the Lord! Our intercessor before the Heavenly Father and our helper in our earthly sorrows! Hear my weak prayer, and exalt it to the Almighty! Beg the Lord our God to turn His Royal gaze on your sinful servant, to grant forgiveness of all my sins and evil deeds. I have sinned greatly since my youth, in my life in words, deeds, thoughts and feelings. Help me, the accursed one, beg our Heavenly Creator, the Creator of all earthly creatures, that he may hear my prayer. All the days of my life I glorify our Lord Almighty: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, may your merciful representation be present now and ever and ever. Amen".
Prayer to Saint Luke
If you can't get pregnant, then don't despair. When following doctors’ prescriptions, you can reinforce your efforts with a prayer to the Matrona of Moscow, the Mother of God and Saint Luke for the granting of a miracle of conceiving a child.
They place a candle in front of the image of the Holy Saint and read the words of the prayer:
“Beloved of the Lord, miraculous Luke, intercede for me before our Heavenly Creator! Exalt my prayer to the throne of our Lord Almighty. May He grant me the happiness of conception. How great is your power, so I need the blessing of the Lord! Amen".
The prayer to Saint Luke for the gift of conceiving a child can be read at home. To do this, you need to light nine candles and fill a container with Holy water. While saying the words of the prayer, they stroke their belly and imagine as if pregnancy has already occurred. After reading, you need to cross yourself and drink water.
Prayer to Peter and Fevronia
Saints Peter and Fevronia represent a symbol of love and fidelity. They serve as models of marital relations and are protectors of families. Many believe that the prayer for conceiving a child, said to Peter and Fevronia, allows not only the birth of a new life, but also strengthens family ties.
“Holy Pleasants of the Lord, Prince Peter and Princess Fevronia! I come running to you, sinner, and with tears I pray for your gracious mercy! Offer my prayers for (it is necessary to name the spouses), and ask the Most High King to send us various graces: right faith, good hope, sincere love, unshakable piety, and prosperity in good deeds. Do not despise my prayer, but exalt it before the heavenly Throne of our Lord Jesus Christ. May I exalt the immeasurable love for mankind of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit throughout all centuries. Amen".
When saying a prayer not only to Matrona of Moscow, but also to Saints Peter and Fevronia for conceiving a child, you must mentally imagine the pregnancy that has taken place or the future baby.
Why doesn't conception occur?
Many people believe that children are born precisely when the spouses are truly ready to accept them. Sometimes it happens that, according to medical reports, an absolutely healthy woman cannot become pregnant, carry or give birth to a baby. Psychologists advise the expectant mother in this case to look at her life from the outside and think, does she really passionately want children in the family? Is there something or someone that takes up her time and does not allow her to psychologically prepare for the birth of a new life?
Often a woman simply does not want to admit to herself that she is afraid of changing her usual lifestyle, does not want to lose a well-paid and promising job, or the desire to have children is primarily not her own, but that of one of the family members. Many people believe that turning to God with a prayer for the conception and safe birth of a child will help, first of all, to recognize their true desires and thoughts, and will also bring a miracle closer, if this is what should happen. However, if a woman is diagnosed with some kind of illness, due to which she cannot bear and give birth to a baby, then she cannot refuse and rely only on prayers.
Dreaming of having a baby, but again and again encountering failures, a woman can resort to various methods. Orthodox priests claim that a prayer read before the conception of a child by a truly religious person can help the miracle of the birth of a new life happen. However, if a person does not believe in God, then relying on prayer as a magical method of fulfilling desires is not only pointless, but also sinful.

If traditional medicine does not help a childless couple conceive a child, many believers go to church and say a prayer to get pregnant. If you believe the reviews of women, Orthodox faith and hope for the best help to cope with infertility.
Why does God prevent you from conceiving a child?
Before you read a prayer for conceiving a healthy child, you should think about why the Lord does not allow the couple to conceive a baby. Orthodox Church talks a lot about infertility. It is believed that a child is God’s gift, and it is not given to everyone. Some people are destined to undergo difficult trials in order to become parents. Someone, having resigned himself to his fate, remains childless until the end of his days. Each person has a separate path, which should not be tried to be corrected by methods unrecognized by the church.
The Lord always gives Christian believers tests according to their strength - priests and religious books tirelessly repeat this. If we are talking about infertility, then perhaps this is a kind of punishment for past sins - infidelity, deception, foul language, theft and other acts. Often a woman cannot become pregnant after her first abortion. From the point of view of clergy, regretting pregnancy and its termination is tantamount to murder.
God does not give a child to the mother who was once able to give up her own baby. To get pregnant and give birth to a healthy child, the couple are ready to do anything. IVF, surrogacy, the use of donor cells - all this is also considered a sin. If the first child was conceived and born in a way not recognized by religion, and the spouses did not repent of their deeds, then it happens that the Almighty does not give a second child.
The reason for the lack of pregnancy, as church ministers say, can be:
- unmarried marriage;
- past sins;
- lack of faith in God;
- sinful thoughts;
- alcohol abuse and drug addiction;
- violence;
- another calling and destiny.
The Orthodox Church believes that if the Lord does not give a child, then a person is assigned a different task in this life. It is worth remembering that many saints were born to elderly parents and were “begged and cried out” by God. Perhaps the time for the birth of a child has not yet come. Priests advise childless couples to be patient and pray to Christ for the gift of children.
How to pray to get pregnant
It is better to go to the temple to pray for the conception and birth of a child. But you can also make a petition to the Lord at home. It is advisable to have an icon to which prayer will be addressed, but this is not a prerequisite. The Lord is in a person’s heart and can hear a request that is not even spoken out loud.
Read prayers out loud, in a whisper or mentally - everyone chooses for themselves. All options are acceptable. It is a mistake to believe that in sacred place God will hear requests faster. The main thing is that the request is sincere.
In order for prayer for infertility to help, you must follow the rules of the ritual.
- When turning to the Lord with requests and hope for pregnancy, you should first confess and cleanse yourself of sins. Thus, the couple will increase the chances of a speedy fulfillment of their cherished desire. Admitting your mistakes is half the way to healing the soul and harmony with yourself. As you know, everything in the human body is interconnected. If there is peace in the soul and heart, then other organs are healed.
- You should pray for the gift of a baby together with your spouse. We must remember that children must be born in a legal marriage. It is better if it is concluded “in heaven”. There are cases where spouses were able to conceive a child only after the wedding and blessing with prayer.
- When reading a prayer, you must believe in its power with all your soul. If you pronounce words about petition dryly or without sincere faith, you can not count on a positive result. During the ritual, a woman should imagine herself as a future mother and think that a new life will soon be born in her body.
- You shouldn’t tell everyone about your prayers for your child. The fewer people who know about your requests, the better. Envious and evil tongues can only do harm and lead you astray. It’s good if your spouse knows about the prayers. He may wish to join the ritual and independently ask the Almighty for a child.
- To read the prayer you must be alone. It is worth turning off the TV and phone. It is important that nothing distracts from the sacred rite.
- The prayer for conception must be addressed to a specific Saint. Before turning to higher powers for help, you should find out as much information as possible about them. It happens that people unknowingly turn to an icon, from which they need to ask for the repose of a deceased person.
A request for a child should not be a one-time request. If the spouses decide to turn to God for help, they must pray regularly. It is important to ask not only for pregnancy, but also for the Lord to send you strength to fight the illness and help you heal your soul and body.
Which patrons should I contact?
Many couples don’t know who to pray to in order to get pregnant. Every righteous person is responsible before God and intercedes for the person who asks. If you turn to the praying ministers of the church and ask who to read the prayer for conception, you can hear about several saints who help in the fight against infertility.
We have heard the magical power of the Matrona of Moscow and the Mother of God - Saints who cannot be indifferent to a childless couple. To get pregnant, prayers should be addressed to Xenia of St. Petersburg, Nicholas the Wonderworker, Alexander Svirsky, Peter and Fevronia.
The Wonderworker Roman and Archangel Gabriel also help to cope with infertility and bring the moment of conception closer. Healing from childlessness by prayer occurs by turning to Jesus Christ himself and the Lord God.

The prayer to Luke of Crimea for conception is read in front of his image at home or in church. After this, you need to cross yourself and light a candle.
The opinion of official medicine
Traditional medicine does not prohibit a childless couple from turning to God. However, doctors do not see a relationship between diseases of the reproductive system and faith. It is assumed that only traditional methods - drug treatment or surgery - can get rid of the pathology that provoked infertility. In the absence of a positive effect, a childless couple is offered to use modern methods of assisted reproductive technologies.
The problem of infertility affects many couples who really want to have children, but for some reason pregnancy does not occur. Most often it happens that the long-awaited fertilization cannot occur due to very serious and often numerous problems on the part of one of the spouses.
And it happens the other way around, a married couple really wants children, they underwent an examination, which confirmed that both spouses are healthy, but in this case there is no pregnancy. What to do in both cases? All that remains is to despair and either give up children altogether, or try the IVF method, or adopt a child.

He lived for many years in a cramped cell, never left it, did not light lamps, and wore a hair shirt with chains. The saint was very meek, loving, and sympathetic to every misfortune. For his spiritual exploits, the Monk Roman was awarded the gifts of clairvoyance and healing of serious illnesses, including infertility.

- It is desirable that the couple be married. In the Sacrament of Marriage, a special blessing is given for childbirth.
- If the spouses have never confessed, they need to do so. It happens that old sins have consequences in the form of infertility.
- After confession they begin Communion.
- A vow made to God helps in obtaining the hidden. For example: never quarrel with your spouse, raise your child in piety and the Christian faith, etc.
You should not grumble and become despondent in your suffering. The Almighty blesses children at the most opportune time. It is imperative to pray, ask for help from the saints, believe and wait. Many saints of God did not have children until old age, patiently bore their cross and were rewarded for their trust.

Since the ascetic was a great faster, it would be logical to seek his favor by observing fasting and avoiding excesses.

Icon of the hermit Roman:
It is almost impossible to see an icon of the saint in Russian churches. His name is unfairly forgotten, although in Rus' they fervently prayed to him for conception. There is such a belief: the less they know about a saint, the more diligently he fulfills the requests of prayer books. Prayer for infertility will help those who come with a strong faith.
Roman Sladkopevets
The hermit Romanus of Antioch is often confused with another Romanus, the Sweet Singer. This saint became famous for his talents as a singer and poet. From birth, Roman was pious, helped in church and served the Patriarch, but he had neither a voice nor hearing. The saint earnestly prayed to the Mother of God for his grief. One day, the Virgin Mary appeared to him in a vision and ordered him to eat the scroll. After the miraculous phenomenon, Roman’s voice acquired melody, and his poetic gift still makes one touch by the beauty and depth of the lyrics. The authorship of the Sweet Singer belongs to hundreds of prayers and church hymns.
Venerable Roman the Sweet Singer prayer:
This prayer to Saint Roman may be suitable for asking for the gift of children. It is enough to add a request for conception at the end from the bottom of your heart.
The story of a miracle through prayer to Roman the Wonderworker
A prayer to St. Roman the Wonderworker healed a married couple from infertility. Spouses Igor and Tatyana Rozhkov tried to conceive immediately after the wedding, but nothing worked. Over the course of 15 years, I changed a dozen doctors, but everyone diagnosed me with infertility. No one found any obvious reasons; everyone shrugged their shoulders. The couple had already begun to think about adoption, when suddenly Tatyana accidentally found a note lying at the bottom of the bag. On it was written a prayer to Roman of Antioch for infertility, left by a friend several years ago. Although the couple were not churchgoers, Christian values were close to them. The prayer does not look like a conspiracy, but she prayed to Saint Roman for the gift of children according to this scheme: 3 days in a row at dawn. A month later she became pregnant with triplets. The happy woman promised to name her son in honor of Saint Roman. In December, after the saint's day of remembrance, they had healthy and beautiful children: two girls and a boy.
