Prayer for an Expecting Mother in Her Third Trimester

For the last weeks of pregnancy, with swollen feet and a heart full of waiting.

“For thou hast possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb.”

Psalm 139:13 (KJV)

Lord, the baby is almost here. My body is tired, my sleep is broken and my mind is full of plans and worries.

Keep my baby healthy and growing. Help them turn into the right position. Protect us both from complications.

Prepare my body for labor and delivery. Give my doctors and midwives wisdom. Give me courage and calm when the time comes.

For Thou hast possessed my reins: Thou hast covered me in my mother’s womb. Thank You for forming this child.

Help me rest in these last weeks and trust You with the timing. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Short prayer to remember

Lord, You are forming my baby. Keep us both safe until we meet. Amen.
