Prayer for Infants (Called Into Being) is one of 38 powerful prayers for babies that are sick, growing up, in the hospital, having surgery, or just in plain need of sleep.
In this blog, I am going to share with you some powerful prayers for infants that you may want to use to help reduce your stress, calm your spirt, and draw closer to God.
Did you know that 130 MILLION babies that are born every single year? This means that 385,000 new babies are born every single day.
If your one of these new parents looking for a special prayer for your newborn, you’ve come to the right place.
As a mother of eight beautiful children, I know all too well that when your baby is sick, worry, fear, stress, and anxiety can easily be felt. What I also know is that when you feel this way, your baby can sense it as well.
One of the most powerful tools that I have used to overcome some of the most challenging situations as a mother, is prayer. A recent study in India demonstrated that prayer “helped parents cope with their grief and bereaved mothers maintain their mental health but also in experiencing personal growth.”
Praying for my children helped me draw closer to God amidst turbulence, and I was able to think clearer, stay strong emotionally for my little ones, and my God given instinct increased like never before.
Without further ado, these 38 powerful prayers for infants are designed with you in mind to help make praying for your precious little baby easy.
I have even included TWO special downloads of the Prayer for Infants and Healing Prayer for your baby set to music so you can play it as a morning prayer or even as a bedtime prayer for your infant.

#1. PRAYER FOR INFANTS "CALLED INTO BEING"
“Praised be Thou, O Lord my God! Graciously grant that this infant be fed from the breast of Thy tender mercy and loving providence and be nourished with the fruit of Thy celestial trees. Suffer him not to be committed to the care of anyone save Thee, inasmuch as Thou, Thyself, through the potency of Thy sovereign will and power, didst create and call him into being. There is none other God but Thee, the Almighty, the All-Knowing.”
“Lauded art Thou, O my Best Beloved! Waft over him the sweet savours of Thy transcendent bounty and the fragrances of Thy holy bestowals. Enable him then to seek shelter beneath the shadow of Thy most exalted Name, O Thou Who holdest in Thy grasp the kingdom of names and attributes. Verily Thou art potent to do what Thou willest, and Thou art indeed the Mighty, the Exalted, the Ever-Forgiving, the Gracious, the Generous, the Merciful.”

I beseech Thee by Thy name, whereby everyone is enabled to attain the object of his desire, to grant that this child may become a mature soul amongst Thy servants; cause him to shine forth through the power of Thy name, enable him to utter Thy praise, to set his face towards Thee and to draw nigh unto Thee. Verily it is Thou Who hast, from everlasting, been powerful to do as Thou willest and Who wilt, to eternity, remain potent to do as Thou pleasest. There is none other God but Thee, the Exalted, the August, the Subduer, the Mighty, the All-Compelling.

Thou art He, O my God, through Whose names the sick are healed and the ailing are restored, and the thirsty are given drink, and the sore-vexed are tranquillized, and the wayward are guided, and the abased are exalted, and the poor are enriched, and the ignorant are enlightened, and the gloomy are illumined, and the sorrowful are cheered, and the chilled are warmed, and the downtrodden are raised up. Through Thy name, O my God, all created things were stirred up, and the heavens were spread, and the earth was established, and the clouds were raised and made to rain upon the earth. This, verily, is a token of Thy grace unto all Thy creatures.
I implore Thee, therefore, by Thy name through which Thou didst manifest Thy Godhead, and didst exalt Thy Cause above all creation, and by each of Thy most excellent titles and most august attributes, and by all the virtues wherewith Thy transcendent and most exalted Being is extolled, to send down this night from the clouds of Thy mercy the rains of Thy healing upon this suckling, whom Thou hast related unto Thine all-glorious Self in the kingdom of Thy creation. Clothe him, then, O my God, by Thy grace, with the robe of well-being and health, and guard him, O my Beloved, from every affliction and disorder, and from whatever is obnoxious unto Thee. Thy might, verily, is equal to all things. Thou, in truth, art the Most Powerful, the Self-Subsisting. Send down, moreover, upon him, O my God, the good of this world and of the next, and the good of the former and latter generations. Thy might and Thy wisdom are, verily, equal unto this.

Thou art the Bestower, the Bountiful, the All-Loving.
#26. PRAYERS FOR MY BABY GIRL
Ahh, a beautiful bundle of joy. I remember being blown away by my daughters big beautiful eyes and precious smile that would just light up the room. Still does. I also remember all the long nights when she was teething and when she came down sick. We both lost lots of sleep but we both also learned a lot from each other.
The one thing that I wanted to impress upon my baby girl, even at the her infant stages, was the value of prayer. She would often watch me pray over her in the morning and in the evening.
Praying for my baby girl didn’t stop there. When I went away to war, I prayed for my baby girl constantly. She was only 2 years old and I was so scared she wouldn’t remember me after almost 6 months of being gone. But theres this deep connection between a mother and her daughter.
These prayers for my baby girl help me continue to pray for my daughter, even when she’s not in my presence.
Make this little maidservant of Thine blessed and happy; cause her to be cherished at the threshold of Thy oneness and let her drink deep from the cup of Thy love so that she may be filled with rapture and ecstasy and diffuse sweet-scented fragrance. Thou art the Mighty and the Powerful, and Thou art the All-Knowing, the All-Seeing.

Make her exalted among the daughters of the Kingdom and enable her to attain life eternal.

Know thou of a certainty that those of tender age in the Abhá Garden shall inherit the realm of the Kingdom and that the outpourings of celestial grace encompass the children in the school of the love of God.

#33. PRAYER FOR BABY
O thou hyacinth which hast sprung up beside the heavenly stream!
Let thyself be reared in the cradle of the loving providence of God and suck the milk of divine knowledge from the breast of His bounty. Be thou nurtured in the meadows of the grace of God and become verdant and fresh in the garden of true knowledge, that thou mayest grow as a peerless plant in the orchard of divine unity, as a flower in the garden of His tender mercy and be a bright candle shedding light upon the gathering of the friends, a radiant lamp aglow at the reunions of the beloved ones of God.

I beseech God that ye may be so highly distinguished in sciences that your fame will be noised throughout all regions and your fair name be on the lips of all enlightened people; that ye may become the means of the exaltation of the Cause of God and the exponents of the manifold blessings of the Abhá Beauty.
May the glory of the Most Glorious rest upon you!
#37. PRAYER FOR NEW PARENTS
O ye tender seedlings in the garden of the love of God!
O ye fresh saplings in the meadows of the knowledge of God!
The sight of the flowering plants in a springtime garden is delightful. The new-grown herbs shed abroad their pungent fragrances, each blossom charms the eye with its particular beauty, while the leaves and fruit are speedily burgeoning. And when people find their way into the garden and gaze on the beauty of the flowers, they inhale the perfume, their souls are exhilarated and their hearts are solaced. Therefore, O ye who are blossoms of heavenly twigs and the fruit on the tree of fellowship, grow rapidly in this rare springtime and, with radiant faces, turn your hearts to the court of the All-Hearing Lord, saying:
O Thou Lord of wondrous grace!
Bestow upon us new blessings. Give to us the freshness of the spring. We are saplings which have been planted by the fingers of Thy bounty and have been formed out of the water and clay of Thy tender affection. We thirst for the living waters of Thy favours and are dependent upon the outpourings of the clouds of Thy generosity. Abandon not to itself this grove wherein our hopes aspire, nor withhold therefrom the showers of Thy loving-kindness. Grant that from the clouds of Thy mercy may fall copious rain so that the trees of our lives may bring forth fruit and we may attain the most cherished desire of our hearts.
#38. PRAYER FOR STRENGTH AND ENDURANCE
O loved ones of ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá!
Man’s life has its springtime and is endowed with marvellous glory. The period of youth is characterized by strength and vigour and stands out as the choicest time in human life. Therefore you should strive day and night so that endowed with heavenly strength, inspired with brilliant motives and aided by His celestial power and heavenly grace and confirmation, you may become the ornaments of the world of humanity, and pre-eminent among those who are initiated into true learning and the love of God. You must be distinguished amidst men by your sanctity and detachment, loftiness of purpose, magnanimity, determination, noble-mindedness, tenacity, the elevation of your aims and your spiritual qualities; that you may become the means of exaltation and glory for the Cause of God and the dawning-places of His heavenly bestowals; that you may conduct yourselves in conformity with the counsels and exhortations of the Blessed Beauty—may my life be offered up for His loved ones—and by reflecting Bahá’í qualities and attributes, you may stand out distinguished from others. ‘Abdu’l‑Bahá eagerly anticipates that each one of you may become even as a fearless lion moving in the pastures of human perfection and a musk-laden breeze wafting over the meads of virtue.
The glory of glories rest upon you.
—‘Abdu’l‑Bah
