Miscarriage stinks.
I’ve been there. And if you have, too, I just wanted to tell you that I am so, so sorry. I was never as confused or hurt as I was when we lost our baby. It’s heartbreaking.
Your baby is in heaven with Jesus. He or she is safe, and happy, and loved. But you are here, where there is pain and sadness. You are left missing your baby and all of the hopes and dreams that you had for that sweet little one.
I’m sorry.
But I want you to know that during this time of grief, you can trust that God will be faithful to you. He has a purpose and a plan for you, and he loves you.
This devotional prayer journal is one way to place your trust in God, one day, and one prayer, at a time. By reading Scripture and praying daily, my hope is that you will be able to focus on God, and rest in His peace and His goodness, even during this very difficult time.
“Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”
(Psalm 119:105)
Hope after miscarriage: A devotional prayer journal
In order to help you to refocus your heart on God each day, I created this printable prayer journal for you.
It has two main sections:
The first section contains 14 daily Scripture and prayer pages. Each day, you’ll read a verse about God’s faithfulness, and write out a prayer to Him.
For example, here is what Day 1 looks like:
Next, there is a journaling section where you can write your story and your memories. I’ve included several prompts to get you started, as well as plenty of extra pages so that you can write whatever is on your heart.
Of course, this journal isn’t meant to take the place of professional counseling. (Please don’t hesitate to get help if you need more support! ) But I do pray that God will bring you comfort as you pour out your heart to Him on the pages of this journal.
You can download and print the full prayer journal here:
I hope that this small gift is able to help you during this time. My heart is with you.

I was checking my email this morning and saw the word “miscarriage”. I delivered my son, March 28th of 2020, at 24 weeks. Having a stillbirth and miscarriage are a little different, but in the end you still loose a child. God has plans for every child that is and isn’t born, it’s sometimes hard to see in the beginning.
I struggled my first Mother’s Day as I have a child, yet I was unable to love him on the one day that is set aside for mother’s. I was this post and it has reminded me that even though it was only my husband and I at the hospital (no family do to the corona virus), God was there holding my hand doing the unthinkable for a first time mother. I needed this post more than I can explain. Thank you!
