Prayer After a Miscarriage

For mothers and fathers grieving a pregnancy that ended too soon.

“The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit.”

Psalm 34:18 (KJV)

Lord, our baby is gone, and our hearts are broken. We had already begun to dream, to plan and to love this little one.

Hold us in our grief. Some people may not understand how deep this loss is, but You do. Comfort my body as it heals and my heart as it aches.

Help us not blame ourselves or each other. Keep us close as a couple.

The LORD is nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite spirit. Be near to our broken hearts.

We trust our baby to Your love. Give us hope again in time. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

Short prayer to remember

Lord, You are near to our broken hearts. Hold us and our baby. Amen.
