Dear in Christ,

Would y'all please add my wife Fei (Faith), and my unborn son, Daniel to your prayers, please? Her blood sugar has been going up and down, which keeps me concerned. Thank you in advance!

Christ is in our midst!!

Lord, hear our prayers on behalf of your handmaid, Fei. Grant her a safe pregnancy and a healthy deliver of her son, Daniel.

Holy Mother of God, intercede for your daughter.

St. Nektarios, holy physician of souls and bodies, intercede for Fei.

May our Lord have mercy on Fei and her unborn baby. Please intercede, St. Nektarios, for her health. Amen!

Prayer for a Child-bearing Mother and the Unborn Child
(Submitted by Slavipodvizhnik on Byzcath.org November 16,2008)

O Sovereign Lord Jesus Christ our God, the Source of life and immortality, Blessed art Thou, for through marriage Thou has blest Thy handmaiden Fei to be a recipient of Thy blessing and gift; for Thou, O Master, didst say: Be fruitful and multiply and replenish the earth.
We thank Thee and pray: Bless this fruit of the body that was given to your handmaiden by Thee; favor it and animate it by Thy Holy Spirit, and let it grow a healthy and pure body, with well-formed limbs.
Sanctify its body, mind, heart, and vitals, and grant this infant that is to be born an intelligent soul; establish him in the fear of Thee.
A faithful angel, a guardian of soul and body, do thou vouchsafe him. Protect, keep, strengthen, and shelter the child in the womb of Thy handmaiden Fei until the hour of his birth. But conceal him not in his mother's womb; Thou give him life and health.
O Lord Jesus Christ, into Thine almighty and paternal hands do we entrust this child. Place him upon the right hand of Thy grace, and through Thy Holy Spirit sanctify him and renew him unto life everlasting, that he may be a communicant of Thy Heavenly Kingdom. Amen.
O All-Merciful Christ our God, look down and protect Thy handmaiden, from fear and from evil spirits that seek to destroy the work of Thy hands. And when the hour and time is come, deliver her by Thy grace.
Look with compassionate eye and deliver Thy handmaiden from pain. Lighten her infirmity in the time of her travail and grant her fortitude and strength for birth giving, and hasten it by Thine almighty help.
For this is Thy glorious work, the power of Thine omnipotence, the work of Thy grace and tender-heartedness. Amen.

Our most gracious Queen, our hope, O Mother of God, the joy of those in sorrow, help her, for she is helpless.
Intercede thou and pray thy Son, Christ our God, that He lighten for her this season while she be with child, and that He ease the burden of heaviness of this unworthy handmaiden, and bestow His blessings upon the child to which she is giving birth.
For we know no other help save thee, no other hope save thee, O Mother of God that will guard and protect her and her child. For by thine intercession and help we send up glory and thanksgiving for all things unto the One God in Trinity, the Creator of all, now and ever, and unto the ages of ages.
Amen.
