No one will argue that a mother’s prayer for her daughter has amazing power. It is believed that girls are less protected and weak, so they need good protection from everyday adversities and unkind people. It is for this reason that Orthodox Christians should pay more attention to petitions to the Lord and saints for their children.
There are many powerful prayers among Christians, specifically aimed at the well-being of girls or girls, daughters of any age. Appeals for them have a miraculous effect and are accepted by many as amulets. At different stages of a girl’s development and strengthening in society, such warm words from a mother will be a real support for her beloved little one. This is a real shield, blocking the path to any adversity and misfortune to the daughter. A similar prayer must be said every day so that the daughter can cope with what awaits her on the road of life.
Who should I pray for a quick and easy delivery? Tips for reaching out to saints through their icons
In order for the born child to be healthy, the woman tolerated his birth well (was physically healthy), and also carried the baby, first of all, they turn to the Lord, his son Jesus. You can also pray to the Blessed Virgin Mary. She is also a mother, so she can understand what kind of torment a woman goes through. The Virgin Mary will ask her son Jesus Christ for the salvation of the expectant mother during childbirth, for the forgiveness of sins by the Lord, in order to ease her hardships.
In addition, it is possible to contact other saints, among them those closest to women in labor are:
- Anastasia the Pattern Maker;
- Great Martyr Catherine;
- Xenia of Petersburg;
- Joachim and Anna;
- Zechariah and Elizabeth.
The father and mother of the Mother of God, as well as the parents of John the Baptist (the last named in the list of saints, respectively) could not have children until old age. However, the Lord granted them mercy - the pregnancy of wives who were able to unhindered bear and give birth to babies who became Great, Close to the Almighty.
There are also other Saints to whom one can turn. It must be remembered that there are no “highly specialized” among them. All Saints are close to the Lord and can help in sorrows if you sincerely turn to them.
Moreover, the Great Martyrs and the Righteous
contribute to the resolution of any problems (if the difficulties are truly unbearable).
However, some of them faced many difficult situations during their lives, for example, they themselves went through childbirth or dreamed, but could not have children, and later they were given what they wanted. Other Saints, even before their death, helped those in need, including pregnant women and women in labor. Such great martyrs and righteous people are addressed especially often.
To make your situation easier during childbirth, you should follow a number of recommendations:
- visit church, read a prayer before the Holy Face of Jesus Christ, the Mother of God or one of the saints, light a candle for health;
- You should periodically (or better yet, daily) pray at home: in the morning, and also before going to bed;
- it is important to turn to God not only when difficulties arise, or when the health of one’s own or the baby in the womb deteriorates during pregnancy, but also on any other day, even when everything is outwardly in order - this will strengthen faith, and will also allow you to unselfishly turn to the Almighty, giving your love him without expectation of payment in the form of assistance in illnesses;
- when turning to God through the Saints, it is necessary, if possible, to renounce worldly concerns; for this it is advisable to retire to prayer in a separate room;
- a pregnant woman is allowed to pray while sitting, because the tradition of the Orthodox Church is to pronounce sacred words while standing (this is due to the creation of conditions for independent renunciation of comfort, making a sacrifice to God, albeit so small), but some are allowed to say prayer while sitting, lying down (those those who are sick, paralyzed), pregnant women also belong to this group of people;
- while reading sacred words, you need to concentrate on the meaning of the text being spoken; you should not be distracted by worldly affairs at this time;
- if you plan to read a prayer addressed to a specific Saint, it is better to do it in front of his Face; you can purchase an icon in a church shop or often visit a temple to recite the prayer text in front of the list/original image;
- it is important to pronounce sacred words sincerely, any guile can devalue even the most fervently pronounced prayer, for example, if a woman puts the well-being of a child or her own during childbirth above the Lord, she does not ask for forgiveness for sins, but only demands help and health, thereby concentrating on physical body, forgetting about the spiritual component of the essence.

For this reason, in order for the born child to be healthy, you need to read a prayer during childbirth for patience. Then the baby’s passage through the birth canal can speed up, and the woman will have the strength to endure the pain without fear or condemnation.
O Marvelous Creator, Humane-loving Master, Most Merciful Lord!
With a contrite and humble heart, I pray to Thee: do not disdain my sinful prayer, do not reject my tears and sighs, hear me like the Canaanite, do not despise me like a harlot, show me, a sinner, the great mercy of Your love for mankind:
Protect me with Your honest robe, have mercy and strengthen me, so that I may endure all the troubles and misfortunes sent from You with thanksgiving in the hope of eternal blessings; rather, turn my sadness into joy, so that I, the damned one, do not fall into despair and perish.
For You are the source of mercy and the unshameful hope of our salvation, Christ our God, and we send glory to You with Your Beginning Father, and Your Most Holy and Good and Life-giving Spirit, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.
Amen.

Orthodox prayer to the Mother of God in front of her icon “The Word became Flesh”

When giving birth to a child, a woman goes through agony for a reason. This allows you to create conditions for voluntary internal change, which can improve the child’s fate (get rid of harmful attachments, base passions). For this reason, one should not ask for relief from suffering; one should ask for patience and humility. In severe cases, through the Great Martyr they ask for health for mother and child.

Try, O saint of God, not to leave us in sinful captivity, so that we may not joyfully be our enemies and not die in our evil deeds.
Pray for us, unworthy of our Creator and Master, to whom you stand with disembodied faces:
Make our God merciful to us in this life and in the future, so that He will not reward us according to our deeds and the impurity of our hearts, but according to His goodness He will reward us.
We trust in your intercession, we boast of your intercession, we call upon your intercession for help, and we fall to your most holy image and ask for help:
deliver us, saints of Christ, from the evils that come upon us, and tame the waves of passions and troubles that rise upon us, so that for the sake of your holy prayers we will not be attacked and we will not sink into the mud in the rank of sin and in the mud of our passions.
Pray to Saint Nicholas of Christ, Christ our God, that he may grant us a peaceful life and remission of sins, salvation and great mercy for our souls, now and ever and unto the ages of ages.

Great Martyr and Healer Panteleimon
During his lifetime the saint was a doctor and healer. He eased the suffering of the living. Now he does the same, but help comes through the Lord. Panteleimon turns to him thanks to the prayers of a woman who is about to give birth. If the process becomes more complicated, the mother can pray for her daughter, then the operation will be successful.
Oh, holy great martyr and healer Panteleimon, merciful imitator of God!
Look with kindness and hear us sinners, fervently praying to you, ask us from the Lord God, Who stands with the angels in heaven, for the forgiveness of our sins and transgressions:
Heal the mental and physical illnesses of God’s servants (names) and all Orthodox Christians who come to your intercession:
Therefore, for our sin, we are fiercely possessed by many ailments and not imams of help and consolation:
We come running to you, because you have given us the grace to pray for us and heal every ailment and every disease:
Grant therefore to all of us saints through your prayers health and well-being of souls and bodies, advancement of faith and piety and everything necessary for temporary life and salvation,
Because you have been granted great and rich mercies, let us glorify you and the giver of all blessings, marvelous in the saints of our God, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever.

How to help your daughter become a mother
Every parent dreams that her daughter will meet that faithful person who would become a reliable shoulder and husband for her child.
Make an appeal about the marriage of your daughter to Saint Matrona. Talk to the Holy Elder as if she were alive, and she will hear your request:
“I beg you, Holy Matrona, for the happiness of your beloved daughter. Help her not make a mistake in her choice and remove unfaithful people from her. Grant her a bright marriage and a married life according to God's Laws. Thy will be done. Amen".
You can also pray to Nicholas the Wonderworker for your daughter’s marriage:
“I trust in you, Wonderworker Nicholas, and I ask for your beloved child. Help my daughter meet her chosen one - honest, faithful, kind and measured. Protect my daughter from sinful, lustful, demonic and careless marriage. Thy will be done. Amen".
Blessed Ksenia of St. Petersburg will never leave you without help. Stay alone so that no one interferes, pray, bow to the Saint and Ksenia will support your girl.
“Blessed Ksenia, I turn to you for help for my daughter in marriage. I ask you to unite her destiny with a beloved and loving man - pious, faithful, honest, so that he becomes a good husband for her and a good father for her children. So that they live in love, harmony and prosperity, not knowing the need for anything, and faith, love and hope live in their hearts.
If after marriage your child cannot get pregnant, then she must follow the doctors’ orders, and you can provide her with prayerful assistance. Pray for your daughter to become pregnant, then a miracle will happen.
But at the same time, the main condition must be fulfilled - believe in the Lord God with all your heart and strengthen your daughter’s faith.
There are many examples when, after turning to Matrona of Moscow, a young woman became a mother. How to pray to Matronushka:
- Go to an Orthodox Church, send a note about your daughter’s health. If possible, order Sorokoust about health in three churches on the same day.
- Buy 6 candles, and place 3 of them to the image of the Holy Elder.
- When you light the candles, read the prayer lines: “Matrona of Moscow, forgive all the sins of my family, and help my daughter get pregnant easily. Thy will be done. Amen".
- Cross yourself and return home.
- Place the image of the Blessed Elder at home and light the 3 candles you brought.
- Mentally imagine the immaculate conception of a daughter, next to the baby and the future father.
- Then turn to the Lord, drawing images of an easy pregnancy.
There are many prayers that can be said more than once or twice at any time and in any place.
“Blessed Elder, Matrona of Moscow. I trust and believe in you, you have mercy on us, only leading us to the Lord. My daughter can’t get pregnant, I hope your love will help. May no sins be created at conception, and may strong children be born into the world. Thy will be done. Amen".
And when the daughter makes her happy, the parent’s soul hurts even more about her pregnant daughter. And here our Lord does not leave us alone with our thoughts. By praying every day at the image of the Virgin Mary, the mother will help her daughter in childbirth. Both women will be confident that everything will go well, and the young mother will be calm for her unborn child.
As you say the prayer words, look at the flame of the church candle lit in front of the icon of the Mother of God.
Prayer text:
“The Great and Most Holy Theotokos, who gave the world the savior Jesus Christ. I ask you, servant of God (proper name), for help for my daughter, servant of God (name of daughter). You, Most Holy Theotokos, understand the nature and connection between a mother and her child, so I pray to you that you will help my daughter successfully bear a child and be relieved of her burden. May a healthy baby be born and bring with it a happy feeling of motherhood for my daughter. I fall before your image, Virgin Mary, and pray that the child may receive holy baptism and be worthy of all the blessings of our Lord. Beg your Son to forgive us all voluntary and involuntary sins, so that we can pray to Him, the Great Lover of Mankind, and glorify His name until the end of our days. Amen".
Text of postpartum prayer
Master, Lord Almighty, Healer of every ailment and every disease, Who Himself gave birth to Thy servant this day, named,
Heal me and raise me from the bed on which he lies:
before, according to the words of the prophet David, we have withered away in iniquity, and we are all filthy before You.
Save this and this child you gave birth to:
cover me under the roof of your wing, from this day, even until her last death, with the prayers of the Most Pure Mother of God and all the saints, for blessed are you forever and ever.
Amen.

My prayer “My story is a mother’s prayer for her daughter giving birth prematurely”
“My daughter is already an adult (23 years old), but quite young, that is, her body had to cope with childbirth. But suddenly, when the 33rd week passed, contractions began. When they called an ambulance, it turned out that rapid labor was beginning. Moreover, the position of the child in the womb is incorrect - transverse. They said they were taking me to the maternity hospital, most likely they would perform a caesarean section. I myself almost fainted - after all, throughout the entire pregnancy, examinations and tests, ultrasound did not reveal any pathologies or problems. Everything was great, we were hoping for an easy birth.
Galina, 43 years old, Perm
I couldn’t do anything, I just prayed: I read the akathist, the entire prayer book in a row. She sent her husband to the temple to light candles and bring an icon of the Virgin Mary. It was a scary time for us - uncertainty. For the first time I saw my son-in-law cry. She held her own so as not to escalate the situation. Doctors later said that the child was miraculously saved. He was born premature, but his weight was not too critical. The baby is good, spent some time in the hospital, but children recover faster than adults. My daughter also recovered during this time. Our tree of life was not interrupted - everyone is alive, thank God!”
