Father of generosity and all mercy! According to my parental feeling, I would wish for my children every abundance of earthly blessings, I would wish them blessings from the dew of heaven and from the fatness of the earth, but may Thy holy will be with them! Arrange their fate according to Your good pleasure, do not deprive them of their daily bread in life, send down to them everything they need in time to acquire a blissful eternity; be merciful to them when they sin before You; Do not impute to them the sins of their youth and their ignorance, bring their hearts into contrition when they resist the guidance of Your goodness; Punish them and have mercy, directing them to a path that is good for You, but do not reject them from Your presence! Accept their prayers with favor, grant them success in every good deed, do not turn Your face away from them in the days of their sorrow, so that temptations beyond their strength may not befall them. Overshadow them with Your mercy, may Your angel walk with them and save them from every misfortune and evil path, All-Good God! Make me a mother who rejoices over her children, so that they will be my joy in the days of my life and my support in my old age. Honor me, with trust in Your mercy, to appear with them at Your Last Judgment and with unworthy boldness to say: “Here I am and my children whom You gave me, Lord!” Yes, together with them glorifying the ineffable goodness and eternal love Yours, I extol the most holy your name, Father, Son and Holy Soul, forever and ever.

    Prayers for children

    Mom's prayer for children:

    • Supplementary. They ask for healing, for the arrangement of some matter.
    • Thank you note. Thanksgiving for the blessings sent by the Lord.
    • Blessing. A valuable source of God's grace directed towards a son or daughter.

      It becomes more difficult for parents to pray for adult children. Many are overcome by disbelief that the situation can be changed. This is especially true for parents whose children are drug addicts, alcoholics, or gambling addicts.

      It is worth praying for the well-being of daughters more often and more diligently, because a son is future man, he will be able to fend for himself, but the girls need guardianship and protection. In addition, mother can pray for adult daughter. For example, so that she gets married successfully or so that her pregnancy goes smoothly.

      Strong mother's prayer, in which there is a request for help, but also humility before the will of God. Ultimatums or threats to God and the saints will not do any good, but will only harden the heart and take away hope.

      Don’t think that only a righteous woman can change her son’s life. This is possible for any unchurched woman who has humility, repentance and love.

      Rare prayer

      IN Orthodox prayer books There are many prayers for children, but they are not limited to this list. There are also rare texts of prayers. They have repeatedly confirmed their effectiveness and healing power for diseases. They begin to pray to Jesus Christ for children. This is most correct, since God is the giver of all good things.

      A rare prayer composed by St. Ambrose of Optina:

      Its short version: “Lord, You alone weigh everything, You can do everything and You want everyone to be saved and to come to the mind of Truth. Enlighten my children (names) with the knowledge of Thy truth and Thy Holy will and strengthen them to walk according to Thy commandments and have mercy on me, a sinner. Amen".

      Daily powerful prayers for children

      If you clothe your whole life in prayer, then favorable changes will definitely come in everything. Believers will say with confidence that they find help in all matters, and happy coincidences are common for them.

      A daily prayer that should be used to bless children, especially adults, when they leave the house, sounds like this: “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, bless, sanctify, preserve my child by the power of Your Life-giving Cross.”

      To mothers in the general daily prayers The following blessing may be included:


      Orthodox Church offers to everyone in need remedy- Sacraments and church services, by participating in which you can hope for quick heavenly help. If a child is seriously ill, you should try to bring him to Communion every Sunday service, submit health notes, and order prayer services.

The most powerful prayer is the one that comes from the depths of the heart, the one that is supported by the strongest power of love and a selfless, sincere desire to help another.

The standard for such a prayer can be a mother’s prayer.

Parents love their children not for their merits and deeds, they love them simply for what they are. Parents wish their children only the best, the good, and they wish it selflessly, from the depths of their souls. When a child is sick, the mother is also sick, but she is sicker - she is sick with all her soul. At such moments, the mother sincerely, with tears in her eyes, turns to the Almighty with a prayer, in the hope of a quick healing of her little one. It is in such moments that the full power of prayer, its power and goodness, is “revealed.” It is at such moments that miracles happen.

And believe me - it's not easy beautiful words and strong epithets, this is the real truth, which I have felt more than once on myself and on my children. If they ask me: “Oleg, what are your earliest memories in your life?” - I will answer: “I, sick, with a fever, am hanging in my mother’s arms and dozing under a sincere prayer for my health.” It was my mother’s prayer that helped me avoid surgery (the doctors called it a miracle, but I know where it came from), it was she who helped me survive 13 pneumonias in early childhood and come out of the army unharmed. Time passes and my mother is no longer there, but her prayer still invisibly protects me and I myself, having matured considerably and aged a little, sincerely pray for the health of my baby, whom I love very much, whom I love for his smile, for his little fingers, for every hair of him - I love him deeply, to the point of pain in my heart, I love him for the fact that he simply exists in my life. And now he is better, his fever (sore throat) has subsided and he smiles in his sleep, but it couldn’t have been any other way, because a son miraculously appeared in our lives precisely because of our sincere prayer.

About the development of the mind in children and assistance in learning

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos before the icon of Her “Giver of Mind” or “Add of Mind”

O Most Holy Virgin!

You are the Bride of God the Father and the Mother of His Divine Son Jesus Christ!

You are the Queen of Angels and the salvation of people, the accuser of sinners and the punisher of apostates.

Have mercy on us too, who have gravely sinned and failed to fulfill the commandments of God, who have broken the vows of baptism and vows of monasticism and many others that we promised to fulfill.

When the Holy Spirit retreated from King Saul, then fear and despondency attacked him and the darkness of despair and a joyless state of soul tormented him. Now, for our sins, we have all lost the grace of the Holy Spirit.

And, having no joy and consolation, we call to You, Mother of our God Jesus Christ, and beg Your Son to forgive us all our sins and send the Comforter Spirit to us, as He sent Him to the apostles, so that those consoled and enlightened by Him may sing to You. song of thanksgiving: Rejoice, Holy Mother of God, who has added wisdom to our salvation. Amen.

Prayer 3

O heavenly citizen of Jerusalem, Reverend Father Sergius!

Look upon us graciously and lead those who are devoted to the earth to the heights of heaven.

You are a mountain in Heaven; We are on earth, below, removed from you, not only by place, but by our sins and iniquities; but to you, as our kin, we resort and cry: teach us to walk in your way, enlighten us and guide us. It is characteristic of you, Our Father, to be compassionate and to love mankind: living on earth, you should not only care about your own salvation, but also about all those who come to you. Your instructions were the reed of a scribe, a cursive writer, inscribing the verbs of life on everyone’s heart. You did not only heal bodily illnesses, but more than spiritual ones, an elegant physician appeared, and your whole holy life was a mirror of all virtues. Even though you were so holy, more holy than God, on earth: how much more are you now in Heaven! Today you stand before the Throne of the Unapproachable Light, and in it, like in a mirror, see all our needs and petitions; You are together with the Angels, rejoicing over the one sinner who repents. And God’s love for mankind is inexhaustible, and your boldness towards Him is great: do not stop crying to the Lord for us.

Through your intercession, ask our All-Merciful God for the peace of His Church, under the sign of the militant Cross, agreement in faith and unity of wisdom, destruction of vanity and schism, affirmation in good deeds, healing for the sick, consolation for the sad, intercession for the offended, help for the needy.

Do not disgrace us, who come to you with faith. Even though you are unworthy of such a father and intercessor, you, an imitator of God’s love for mankind, made us worthy by turning from evil deeds to good living. All God-enlightened Russia, filled with your miracles and blessed by your mercies, confesses you to be their patron and intercessor.

Show your ancient mercies, and those whom you helped your father, do not reject us, their children, who are marching towards you in their footsteps. We believe that you are present with us in spirit. Where the Lord is, as His word teaches us, there His servant will be. You are a faithful servant of the Lord, and I exist everywhere with God, you are in Him, and He is in you, and moreover, you are with us in body. Behold your incorruptible and life-giving relics, like a priceless treasure, may God grant us miracles. Before them, as I live for you, we fall down and pray: accept our prayers and offer them on the altar of God’s mercy, so that we may receive grace from you and timely help in our needs.

Strengthen us, the faint-hearted, and confirm us in the faith, so that we undoubtedly hope to receive all the good things from the mercy of the Master through your prayers. Do not cease to rule your spiritual flock, gathered by you, with the rod of spiritual wisdom: help those who struggle, raise up the weakened, hasten to bear the yoke of Christ in complacency and patience, and guide us all in peace and repentance, end our lives and settle with hope in the blessed bosom of Abraham, where you now rest joyfully after your labors and struggles, glorifying with all the saints God, glorified in the Trinity, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Prayer 4

O venerable and God-bearing Father Sergius!

Look upon us (names) mercifully and, those who are devoted to the earth, lead us to the heights of heaven. Strengthen our cowardice and confirm us in faith, so that we undoubtedly hope to receive all the good things from the mercy of the Lord God through your prayers. By your intercession, ask for every gift that is useful to everyone and for everyone, and through your prayers that help us, grant us all, on the day of the Last Judgment, to be delivered from the last part, and the right hand of the country to be partakers of life and to hear the blessed voice of the Lord Christ: come, blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world .
