A prayer for fertility, to be blessed with a child

Master of the World, we are praying for a child. For a long time now we have been waiting, and every month there is hope, and every month the pain comes again. You see the tears we hide from others, and the questions we do not dare to say out loud.

Give us this blessing. Open what is closed, and send us a healthy child whom we will raise with love.

Through this process, with the tests, the treatments and the waiting for answers, watch over us. Give wisdom and a successful hand to the doctors and teams who care for us, and give the body strength to bear all of it.

Guard our relationship within the hardship. Let us not blame each other, let us not grow apart; let us know how to talk about what hurts and hold each other when one of us breaks.

And give us strength on the days when the people around us ask, give advice and do not understand. Let us answer calmly, and keep what is in our hearts for those who can truly hold it.

And let me rejoice in the joy of others even when it burns. When friends share their news, when I see a stroller on the street, let me bless them with my whole heart and not close myself inside envy and sadness.

We do not know by which path You will bring us the blessing, and we ask that You be with us at every step of it.

And let us rely on the doctors and professionals calmly and with trust, to ask when needed and to listen to good advice. And in every situation, let us keep the joy between us and the love because of which we are praying.
