Prayer to Prepare for Conception
Like The Radiance Of The Moon
Ruth Lazare
My God, Creator of beauty and purity
Molder of body and soul,
I am the woman now standing before You in prayer.
Purify me at brooks of water
Anoint me with myrrh and incense
Renew light within me like the radiance of the moon.
My Lord,
My womb which You have given me
Is pure;
Place a soul in my midst.
Then may my home be whole before You,
And my insides be lined with love.

Renew light within me like the radiance of the moon.
My Lord,
My womb which You have given me
Is pure;
Place a soul in my midst.
Then may my home be whole before You,
And my insides be lined with love.
