Blessing For an Expectant Mother

P: Our help is in the name of the Lord.
All: Who made heaven and earth.

P: Save your servant.
All: Who trusts in You, my God.

P: Let her find in You, Lord, a tower of strength.
All: In the face of the enemy.

P: Let the enemy have no power over her.
All: And the son of iniquity be powerless to harm her.

P: Lord, send her aid from Your holy place.
All: And watch over her from Sion.

P: Lord, heed my prayer.
All: And let my cry be heard by You.

P: The Lord be with you.
All: May He also be with You.

Let us pray.
Almighty everlasting God, who enable us, Your servants, in our profession of the true faith, to acknowledge the glory of the three Persons in the eternal Godhead, and to adore their oneness of nature, their co-equal majesty; grant, we pray, that by steadfastness in that faith this servant of yours, N., may ever be guarded against all adversity; through Christ our Lord.

All: Amen.
