At Surrogacy by Faith, we understand the deep connection between faith and the miracle of life. Our mission is to support intended parents and surrogates through every step of the surrogacy journey, grounded in faith and trust in God’s plan.
Here are some prayers and excerpts from the Bible for pregnancy, along with specially crafted prayers for intended parents and surrogate mothers to seek God’s guidance, strength, and blessings during their journey.
The Power of Prayer During Pregnancy
Hannah’s Prayer for a Child (1 Samuel 1:10-11)
Hannah’s story is one of deep longing and fervent prayer. In her distress, she prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly and promising to dedicate her child to God if He granted her a son. Her prayer was answered with the birth of Samuel, a powerful testament to the efficacy of earnest prayer.
“In her deep anguish Hannah prayed to the Lord, weeping bitterly. And she made a vow, saying, ‘Lord Almighty, if you will only look on your servant’s misery and remember me, and not forget your servant but give her a son, then I will give him to the Lord for all the days of his life, and no razor will ever be used on his head.’” (1 Samuel 1:10-11)
Intended parents and surrogates can draw inspiration from Hannah’s prayer, seeking God’s blessing and dedicating their journey to His will.
Elizabeth’s Blessing (Luke 1:24-25)
Elizabeth, the mother of John the Baptist, experienced the joy of a miraculous pregnancy after years of being barren. Her story highlights the transformative power of God’s blessings and serves as a reminder of His faithfulness.
“After this his wife Elizabeth became pregnant and for five months remained in seclusion. ‘The Lord has done this for me,’ she said. ‘In these days he has shown his favor and taken away my disgrace among the people.’” (Luke 1:24-25)
Elizabeth’s blessing can inspire hope and faith, reminding individuals that God’s timing and plans are perfect, even in the face of doubt and delay.
Mary’s Song of Praise (Luke 1:46-55)
Mary’s song, also known as the Magnificat, is a beautiful expression of gratitude and faith. Upon learning of her divine pregnancy, Mary praised God for His greatness and mercy.
“And Mary said: ‘My soul glorifies the Lord and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has been mindful of the humble state of his servant. From now on all generations will call me blessed, for the Mighty One has done great things for me— holy is his name. His mercy extends to those who fear him, from generation to generation. He has performed mighty deeds with his arm; he has scattered those who are proud in their inmost thoughts. He has brought down rulers from their thrones but has lifted up the humble. He has filled the hungry with good things but has sent the rich away empty. He has helped his servant Israel, remembering to be merciful to Abraham and his descendants forever, just as he promised our ancestors.’” (Luke 1:46-55)
Mary’s song encourages us to maintain a heart of gratitude and trust in God’s plan, especially during the transformative journey of pregnancy.
Additional Bible Verses for Encouragement and Strength

This verse provides assurance of God’s good plans, offering peace and hope during the uncertainties of pregnancy. It is a reminder to trust in God’s promises for a hopeful future.

“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”
