Worship Prayer
Heavenly Father, the truth is the last thing I want to do right now is worship. Words of prayer fail to come out of my heart, for I am broken and destitute.

Remind me of your everlasting love and help me to find rest in you alone in this season of mourning my unborn child. In Jesus’ name, I believe and pray, Amen.
Light up My Darkness Prayer
Lord, sorrow covers my face. Floods of pain engulf me every time I remember the miscarriage. Pangs of jealousy fill my heart when I see other mothers playing with their babies. Hasten O Lord, come to my rescue and save me. Light up my darkness and keep my lamp burning. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
Prayer for Courage
O Jesus, all I want to do is remain in bed all day and cry. Everything seems to be meaningless right now. Knowing my child is with you in heaven keeps me going. Please give me the courage to go out there and face what awaits me. Help me to be gentle when people check on me. I lay my anger at your feet that I may not project it on others. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
Comfort Prayer
Lord Jesus, hold every woman that has lost a baby through miscarriage in your arms of love.

Grant them cheerful spirits and give them the courage to do what you are asking them to do during this difficult time. In Jesus’ name, I pray, Amen.
Joy Prayer
O Heavenly Father, please turn my sorrow into joy. I am trying to move on since I miscarried, but pain and bitterness keep holding me back.

In Jesus’ name, I believe and pray, Amen.
Prayer for Loss of Unborn Baby

Forever safe in your presence, my precious child will know no pain or sickness. In times of longing, help me remember those truths, Father. Turn my focus away from the loss and help me instead to recall those moments of togetherness you’ve gifted me with while my baby was still in my womb, moving and letting her presence known. Thank you for the time you’ve given me with her. You are good, O God. In everything, you have a purpose. Allow me to remember and trust your wisdom in all of these. Amen.

Even in my baby’s death, I am confident that anything that comes my way will be for my good, according to your will. This despair and pain that I am suffering now is nothing compared to the pain that you have experienced when you died on the cross for us. So now, I will simply come to you in silence and know that you will comfort me, as you always do. Speak to me Lord, for your servant is listening. Heal my broken heart. Amen.
Hold Me in Your Arms Prayer

Helping a Hurting Friend Prayer
Merciful Lord, my heart weeps for my friend whose baby was miscarried. Please guide me on how I can ease her pain. Enable me to show my understanding that losing a baby before birth is as much a loss as an infant death after the baby was already born. Assist me in expressing that her baby was created in your image and was valuable in your sight. Help me walk with her in compassion through her stages of grief and help me find encouraging scriptures for her miscarriage. Amen.
Relieve the Guilt Prayer
Loving God, please help us as we deal with the passing of our unborn child. I especially intercede for my wife who is struggling with guilt. Guard her mind so she doesn’t keep wondering if the miscarriage was somehow her fault. There seems to be no logical reason why our baby did not survive. Help me to reassure her that she was healthy for our child and did everything right. We both loved this baby so much – and this death was so unexpected. Lord, take care of our child until we are together again. Amen.
Prayer for Refuge for Our Friend
Lord, may our friend who has lost her baby find refuge in you. May she be assured that we also hurt for her baby, a real person with a beating heart.

Give us the words to say and the things to do to help her through her grief. Release her from her prison of hurt and confusion. Amen.
