A strong mother's prayer for children. Strong prayers for mothers for children every day

Prayer for children is a mother's conversation with Heaven. Without letting her children out of her thoughts for a moment, a mother’s heart keeps them connected with an invisible thread.

It turns out that in the world of human affections there is no feeling more powerful, selfless and holy than maternal love. Everything else is transitory...

Everyday troubles are blown away by the winds of life. Sorrows are overcome with the passage of time. Even very strong wounds scar. And only the heart of a mother is the perpetual motion machine of earthly indestructible love.

Strong maternal prayer to the Mother of God for children

The pain experienced at the time of the birth of a child is insignificant in comparison with the pain that a mother sometimes has to endure from her child. How wonderful it is when deference and respect are instilled in children “with milk.” Unfortunately, life doesn’t always work out this way.

What hurts a mother’s heart much more is the indifference, disobedience, depravity and ingratitude of a child nurtured with love. Grieving over foolish children and their behavior, the mother never turns away from them. Her inescapable love (like no other feeling) does not require constant replenishment of a reciprocal feeling for its existence.

Who to pray to in difficult situations

Without getting enough sleep at night, every mother dreams of goodness and happiness for her children. And the biggest sadness is the collapse of this unfulfilled dream.

What to do when despair chills your soul? Who should I turn to to ask for help?

The Mother of God is the zealous Intercessor for the entire human race. She is also a Mother. Her heart was more than once wounded by sorrow for her Son. This sadness, however, was of a different quality: her sinless Child was given over to the most terrible torment that people could imagine.

Standing under the cross at the hour of her Son’s last suffering, She received into her care the entire human race, for which she now tirelessly prays.

The truth is known that prayer, like clean water, will “wash away” even the darkest stain of sin, cleansing the soul of the one for whom one prays. And a strong maternal prayer to the Mother of God for children has a hundredfold multiplied power, capable of “getting a child from the bottom of the sea.”

Armed with faith and a prayer book, do not forget to pray for your children (as well as godchildren, for whose soul you are also responsible before the Lord God).

Prayer to the Mother of God for children

O Most Holy Lady Virgin Mary,

save and keep under Your roof my children (names), all youths, young women and infants, baptized and nameless and carried in their mother’s womb.

Cover them with the robe of Your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to their parents, pray to my Lord and Your Son,

may He grant them what is useful for their salvation. I entrust them to Your maternal supervision, for You are the Divine Protection of Your servants.

Mother of God, introduce me to the image of Your heavenly motherhood.

Heal the mental and physical wounds of my children (names) caused by my sins.

I entrust my child entirely to my Lord Jesus Christ and Your, Most Pure, heavenly protection.

Amen.

Prayer for children: “Lord Jesus Christ, be thy mercy upon my children.”

The greatest test for a mother is the child's illness. At this time, the mother is much more ill, as she also experiences mental pain from despair that she cannot take all the torment for herself. But effective help exists - this is an ardent prayer emanating from a mother’s heart.

A logical question arises: “Why is the mother’s heart capable of actively influencing the course of events”?

The mother knows her child longer (than anyone else) by as much as 9 months, and a certain connection, like an umbilical cord, continues to connect the two souls even after birth.

The sensitivity of a mother's heart is a byword, allowing one to detect the smallest changes in the child's health and behavior (even at a distance).

This fact does not in any way diminish the role of the father in the child’s fate. And since prayer is not a pill (you can’t have too much of it), the joint prayer of mother and father to the Lord Jesus Christ can be a wonderful healing remedy.

Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ,

May Thy mercy be upon my children (names), keep them under Thy roof,

cover from all evil lust, drive away from them every enemy and adversary,

open their ears and the eyes of their hearts, grant tenderness and humility to their hearts.

Lord, we are all Your creation, have pity on my children (names) and turn them to repentance.

Save, Lord, and have mercy on my children (names)

and enlighten their minds with the light of the mind of Your Gospel and guide them on the path of Your commandments

and teach them, O Savior, to do Thy will,

for You are our God.

Maternal prayer “ambulance”

Without neglecting the recommendations of the doctor (healing the body), an ailing child urgently needs spiritual prayer help. Moreover, it is precisely this kind of prayer that mobilizes and uses all possible, even hidden from human understanding, reserves.

There are many examples of miraculous healing through prayer.

The daily prayer for children: “Lord Jesus Christ, be thy mercy upon my children” is a vivid example of spiritual parental care for children, because the power of the Lord is omnipotent, and His possibilities are limitless.

Prayer

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God,

prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother, hear me, Your sinful and unworthy servant.

Lord, in the mercy of Your power my child, have mercy and save him for Your name’s sake.

Lord, forgive him all the sins, voluntary and involuntary, that he committed before You.

Lord, guide him on the true path of Your commandments and enlighten him and enlighten him with Your light of Christ, for the salvation of the soul and the healing of the body.

Lord, bless him in the house, around the house, at school, in the field, at work and on the road, and in every place of Your possession.

Lord, protect him under the shelter of Your Saints from a flying bullet, arrow, knife, sword, poison, fire, flood, from a deadly ulcer (atomic rays) and from vain death.

Lord, protect him from visible and invisible enemies, from all troubles, evils and misfortunes.

Lord, heal him from all diseases, cleanse him from all filth (wine, tobacco, drugs) and ease his mental suffering and sorrow.

Lord, grant him the grace of Your Holy Spirit for many years of life, health and chastity.

Lord, increase and strengthen his mental abilities and physical strength.

Lord, give him Your blessing for a godly family life and godly procreation.

Lord, grant me, Thy unworthy and sinful servant, a parental blessing on my child at this time of morning, day, evening and night for the sake of Thy name, for Thy Kingdom is eternal, omnipotent and omnipotent. Amen.

Strong maternal prayer for children to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker

Nicholas the Pleasant is a saint who takes special care of children (even giving them gifts on his day, December 19). Having lived a righteous life, he was awarded a special mercy - to be an intercessor for those who would ask him for help.

Therefore, in all situations, even those that seem hopeless, a prayer to the image of this saint (and a candle lit in front of his face) can create a miracle.

May this righteous man not be offended by the modern formulation, but a strong mother’s prayer for children to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker is a “special quick response tool” recommended for frequent use.

Prayer

“Oh Saint Nicholas of Christ!

Hear us, sinful servants of God (names), praying to you, and pray for us, unworthy, our Creator and Master, make our God merciful to us in this life and in the future,

May he not reward us according to our deeds, but reward us according to his goodness. Deliver us, saints of Christ, from the evils that come upon us, and tame the waves, passions and troubles that rise against us, so that for the sake of your holy prayers the attack will not overwhelm us and we will not wallow in the abyss of sin and in the mud of our passions.

Pray to Saint Nicholas, Christ our God, that he may grant us a peaceful life and remission of sins, and salvation and great mercy for our souls, now and ever, and unto ages of ages.”

Daily prayer for children

It is not difficult to read the Orthodox prayer for children in Russian every day - it takes a little effort and time, but it can provide significant assistance in the process of education. Today's considerable stress to which children are exposed on the street, at school and at home has a negative impact on the behavior and academic performance of children. Information and emotional overloads caused by the frantic pace of life significantly affect children’s ability to focus, concentrate, perceive and assimilate the necessary knowledge.

For children who have difficulty learning, you should also ask God and His saints daily. In addition to Nicholas the Wonderworker, prayers for the gift of the ability to science should also be read to Saints John of Kronstadt, Sergius of Radonezh

Prayer to Sergius of Radonezh

O sacred head,

Our Reverend and God-bearing Father Sergius,

by your prayer, and faith, and love, even for God,

and with purity of heart, having established your soul on earth in the abode of the Most Holy Trinity,

and angelic communion and the visitation of the Most Holy Theotokos,

and the gift of miraculous grace received,

After your departure from the earthly, you drew closer to God,

and having partaken of the Heavenly Powers,

but your spirit of love and honest power did not retreat from us, like a full and overflowing vessel of grace, left to us!

Having great boldness towards the All-Merciful Master, pray to save His servants, His grace existing in you, believing and flowing to you with love. Ask us from our great-gifted God every gift,

beneficial to everyone and everyone, observance of blameless faith,

strengthening of our cities, pacification of peace, and deliverance from famine and destruction, preservation from the invasion of foreigners, consolation for the afflicted, healing for the troubled, restoration for the fallen,

return to the path of truth and salvation for those who have gone astray,

to those who strive, prosperity and blessing to those who do good deeds,

education for babes, instruction for the young, admonition for the ignorant, protection for orphans and widows,

for those departing from this temporary life to the eternal, good preparation and parting words, for those departing from blessed repose,

and through your prayers, grant that all of us will be delivered on the day of the Last Judgment,

the right hand of the country will be commoners and hear that blessed voice of the Lord Christ:

Come, blessed ones of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.

Amen.

Prayer for children to the Guardian Angel

The closest protector of a Christian is the Guardian Angel. Assigned to a person at the moment of the sacrament of baptism, this representative of the Heavenly winged army relentlessly follows every soul entrusted to his care. He is a constant witness to all her ups and downs, sorrows and joys.

A prayer for children to the Guardian Angel is recognition of his hard daily work to protect the “object” under his care. If a person could know how many troubles this silent guardian (who knows neither day nor night, nor weekends nor holidays) saved him from, then his prayer to his Angel would become more fervent, and his actions more circumspect.

Daily prayer for children

A mother’s prayer for her children addressed to the Guardian Angel is a very strong protection that protects the child and calls upon him the help of a disembodied good invisible spirit. Having the opportunity to relentlessly follow the child, the help of such a “guard” in difficult times is sometimes invaluable and priceless. It is in his power to protect him from a rash step, to take him out even from under fire, to save him in a hopeless situation.

How often we feel remorse after an unseemly act - this is the voice of Heaven, coming to us through the suggestions of such a kind Angel.

Prayer to the Guardian Angel

Holy Guardian Angel of my children (names),

cover them with your cover from the arrows of the demon, from the eyes of the seducer, and keep their hearts in angelic purity.

Amen.

Prayer for children who died unbaptized

The attitude of the church towards deceased unbaptized people (including children) is ambiguous. After all, the essence of the church is that it is an association of Christians and those who are not baptized simply cannot be part of such an association (regardless of the reason for which baptism did not occur). Therefore, church memorials and funeral services for unbaptized souls in church are impossible. But the church does not prohibit praying at home for those who have died without baptism, remembering them privately and asking God for their repose.

Prayer to Saint Huar

Being the patron saint of lost souls, this saint is endowed with special power to seek repose for the unbaptized dead. Temples and chapels are built in his honor, and many churches have iconographic images of him. A prayer read in front of his icon for children who died unbaptized can bring relief to suffering parents and help innocent souls who have passed into another world without being worthy of baptism.

Prayer for children is the sacred duty of every parent.

Prayer

Oh, venerable holy martyr Uare,

We kindle with zeal for the Lord Christ,

You confessed the Heavenly King before the tormentor, and you zealously suffered for Him,

and now you stand before Him with the angels, and rejoice in the highest,

and see the Holy Trinity clearly, and enjoy the light of the Beginning Radiance,

remember also our relatives in languor, who died in wickedness, accept our petition,

and like Cleopatra, you freed the unfaithful race from eternal torment with your prayers,

Thus, remember those who were buried against God, who died unbaptized, trying to ask them for deliverance from eternal darkness,

Let us all praise the Most Merciful Creator with one mouth and one heart forever and ever. Amen.

Being a mother is the hardest job in the world. A mother must feed her children from birth, keep them clean, develop, educate, and take care of their education. And the duties of an Orthodox parent who believes in the Lord also include the obligatory daily maternal prayer for her child.

Maternal prayer is invaluable for a child. It is not without reason that one of the most famous Christian sayings says that a mother’s prayer can even pull you out from the bottom of the sea. The truth and relevance of this saying has been proven in practice more than once. Numerous examples from life (including those archived in various sources) testify to how mother’s prayer helped children out in the most difficult and dangerous situations.

There is a lifelong, strong and inextricable connection on a spiritual level between a mother and her child. Words coming from a mother’s mouth can most directly influence the fate of a child, so any mother should wish only good things for her children, not curse or speak badly about them, and not make unfavorable forecasts for their adult life.

A mother has special power over her child - power given to her by the Lord himself. Mother's love is the strongest in the world, the most sincere, bright, selfless and holy love. For a child, a mother is a personal guardian angel in human form, staying with him from the moment of conception. Being a mother is the life purpose of any woman. The mother is important and necessary for the child - this is precisely the meaning of her life.

The miraculous power of maternal prayer is associated with the power of maternal love, with the power over the child given to her by God. A loving mother worries about her child from the moment he is born. After the birth of a child, the mother’s heart seems to leave her body and begins to live separately from her - in her child. Of course, constant worry and anxiety about their children significantly undermines women's health. Orthodox prayer for your child will help calm a mother’s heart and protect children from danger and various troubles in life.

The most famous mother's prayers for her child

There are several Orthodox prayers with which a mother can pray to higher powers for the well-being of her children. All of them are very effective and truly miraculous, since they come from the most sincere and pure heart in the world - the heart of a mother, and are pronounced with the most selfless and holy love - maternal.

Prayer to the Lord for your child

Mothers have been turning to this prayer for a long time: it helped to attract God’s grace to the child. Pronouncing the text does not require the woman to comply with any special conditions - you can read it at any time and in any environment, at the first call of a sensitive mother’s heart. The words in it are:

Maternal prayer to the Mother of God for her children

How to choose the right maternal prayer?

Any mother’s prayer for her child has incredible power. However, it often happens that a parent is in doubt and does not know which Orthodox text to turn to.

The best solution for a woman in this case would be to consult with a clergyman and tell him about her situation. Father will always listen, suggest the best option, and even be able to give a number of recommendations regarding the mother’s further actions, which will help protect her beloved child from everything bad.

It is advisable to say Orthodox prayers (including maternal prayers) in front of the icon of a certain saint. The priest will help clarify this issue.

When and how to correctly read a prayer for children?

Any mother worries about her child, no matter what age she is. And every mother wishes her child health, a happy fate, and a smooth path in life. The mother’s task is not only to give birth and raise her child as a worthy person, but also to do everything so that the life of her son or daughter turns out in the most favorable way. All this is an incredibly complex matter, and Orthodox prayer can become a wonderful help in it.

Alas, it often happens that people remember prayers only in difficult times. Daily bustle and routine, unfortunately, crowd out the spiritual component of a person. Meanwhile, a mother’s prayer for her children should be said every day - only then will it become a reliable and strong protective barrier. You need to turn to her not only in moments when children have any problems, but also in periods when everything in their lives is calm and serene.

A prayer for children should be said with gratitude to God for giving the opportunity to carry out the proud calling of a mother. At the same time, we must not forget to ask the Creator for forgiveness for outbursts of anger and swearing at our children (and this happens to every mother), for a lack of patience and wisdom in some situations.

The mother's prayer must be read with an open heart. The woman’s consciousness at the time of reading should be freed from all extraneous thoughts. Concentration on each word that makes up the sacred text is important. Sincere prayer will certainly be heard by higher powers.

For a believing woman, motherhood has a slightly different meaning. A Christian mother is called to raise children in moral purity and teach them about God. Also, for Orthodox parents, it is normal for the mother and father to pray for their children. For them, it is like an invisible shield that can protect them from various troubles. Let's look at the most powerful prayers of mothers for their children.

Attitude towards motherhood

God has care for every soul. He intends for everyone, without exception, his own special path. Therefore, parents should not impose their own preferences on their child. They should respect the small personality from the very beginning. Their main task is to take care of morality and instill useful skills. They are necessary in order to keep the soul from evil when a small person becomes big.

When going to church, parents should take their children with them. Raising a worthy Christian is much more important than all other concerns. It doesn’t matter who the child becomes - what matters is his inner life. A prerequisite for this is the mother’s prayer for the children - it must be constant. Many holy fathers insist on this.

Mother's prayer for a child

“Lord Jesus Christ, awaken Thy mercy on my child (name), keep him under Thy roof, cover him from all evil lust, drive away from them every enemy and adversary, open his ears and the eyes of his heart, grant tenderness and humility to their hearts. Lord, we are all Your creation, have pity on my child (name) and turn him to repentance. Save, O Lord, and have mercy on my child (name), and enlighten his mind with the light of the mind of Your Gospel, and guide him on the path of Your commandments, and teach him, O Savior, to do Your will, for You are our God.”

Mother's prayer if children are sick

“O Most Merciful God, Father, Son and Holy Soul, worshiped and glorified in the Undivided Trinity, look upon Thy servant (her) (name of the child) who is overcome by illness; forgive him (her) all his (her) sins; grant him (her) healing from illness; return him (her) health and bodily strength; Give him (her) a long and prosperous life, Your peaceful and most worldly blessings, so that he (she) together with us brings grateful prayers to You, the All-Bounteous God and my Creator. Most Holy Theotokos, through Your omnipotent intercession, help me to beg Your Son, my God, for the healing of God’s servant (name). All saints and Angels of the Lord, pray to God for His sick servant (name). Amen."

Heavenly Father

God does not send children in vain. Parents are given power over them, as is repeatedly stated in the Holy Scriptures; even one of the commandments commands to honor father and mother. But they should not abuse their influence and demand obedience no matter what. Father and mother must themselves be accountable to their common Father, the Lord.

Children see everything perfectly well, so you cannot demand from them what is not fulfilled by the elders in the family. A smoking father cannot demand that his son quit smoking. Because his behavior speaks of neglect of his duties to build a temple of God from the body.

Model of an Orthodox mother

Only humility before God can make a mother’s prayer for her children strong. And if she screams, criticizes her husband, gets irritated over every little thing - it is unlikely that such a person will inspire respect in the child.

Going to church and Sunday school is wonderful. But a child, as the closest person, even if small, is capable of perceiving the smallest movements of the soul. And the mother’s heart should be for him a window into the kingdom of heaven. Through her spiritual world, he begins to build his own. A pious mother teaches her child from an early age:

• make the sign of the cross,
• venerate icons
• pray briefly.

It is such a mother who will have very strong prayers for her children. History knows examples of how requests to God saved lives and pulled people out from the very bottom of the moral abyss. Christians owe this to the special relationship of Christ to His earthly Mother.

Cross of the Virgin Mary

When people remember Saint Mary, they think about the honor God showed her. But does it often occur to anyone how difficult it was for her as a woman? To endure, to give birth to a Son, and then to give him up to be torn to pieces, to watch the torment and death of your only child? This is who you need to ask for patience when it seems that your strength is running out.

Prayers for children to the Mother of God can be read before any image:

• ask them for health;
• assistance with studies;
• maintaining moral purity.

In such cases, the holy fathers do not limit the frequency of prayers - after all, the heart cannot be commanded to love less. Namely, love and worries about the eternal fate of their soulmate motivate mothers to perform feats of prayer.

In Christianity, family is highly valued; the relationship between parents and children is an important part of education. Orthodox fathers wrote many special prayers that a mother should read for her children.

Christian Parenting

From the very first days of life, it is necessary to bring the baby to church and not remove the cross from him. There has never been a case where the ribbon did any harm. It is advisable to have fast days on Wednesdays and Fridays after 2 years. And it’s good for health, as doctors say today. Plant foods cleanse the body and allow it to take a break from the stress that heavy foods with animal fats create.

• Give communion to children regularly.
• At home, read prayers out loud, the Holy Scriptures - even if the baby does not understand the words, they will still have their beneficial effect.
• On an empty stomach, give holy water, a piece of blessed bread or prosphora.
• Bring the baby for blessing in the temple, apply it to the Cross.

You just shouldn’t make the mistake of putting into the child’s mind the image of a formidable God who seeks to punish for the slightest offense. This will not cause love, but rather disappointment and longing for the Creator, Who loves and forgives.

Children of primary school age are able to perceive the Gospel texts naturally. They are surprised not so much by miracles as by the behavior of Christ, His love and self-sacrifice.

You should not force small children to cram prayers. It is better to explain that God hears everything, and in the morning you need to say hello to Him, in the evening you need to say goodbye. Let the child turn to Jesus in his own words, over time he will learn church texts. The main thing here is not to discourage the desire to understand this issue.

If there is a pious atmosphere in the house, the mother’s prayer is constantly heard, the child naturally perceives it with all his heart, this is an excellent foundation for the future.

just as we also leave our debtors;

and do not lead us into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever.

They say that “A mother’s prayer will reach you from the bottom of the sea”. History knows countless examples when there seems to be no way out, but there is a mother’s faith, there is her prayer, which is always heard at the right time.

There are exceptions to the rules. It is believed that if God rewards a small child with a fatal disease and does not hear parental prayers for his recovery, it means that he is protecting the parents from terrible troubles in the future and the parents can only accept this lesson and give thanks. Our angels are also brought up in the same spirit, with which we are all awarded at the moment of baptism.

There is such a parable:

Parable "Raising an Angel"

- Hello, Guardian. I'm on an appointment.
“New guy,” came the Guardian’s grumpy voice. – Get out of the habit of these earthly things! And the sooner the better.
- I... What? - Angel was surprised.
– Who did you wish health to? There are no living people here, hehe,” the Guardian grinned, but immediately changed his tone to a serious one. - Instructed?

- Uh...
“I see, that means everything is falling on deaf ears.” Who do you have to work with? - The Guardian grumbled again. - So, the most important thing is: we save three times. Three! Do you remember? Therefore, be guided by the situation. You see that a person will get out without you, so don’t interfere again, understand? I've picked up some good potential for you here. If you don’t mess anything up, your ward will live to be eighty...
“How do I know when... well, when to intervene?”

The keeper got angry:
- Am I going to do work for you?! Go ahead! Yes, and the most important thing is to understand: don’t meddle in someone else’s fate! First of all, remember – don’t interfere!

“It must hurt,” thought the Angel, “I wouldn’t do anything wrong here with my ward.”
The Guardian sighed sadly, knowing in advance all the mistakes of newcomers...

The angel looked into the crib and sighed with relief. The baby slept sweetly, smiling in her sleep. The tears had not yet dried on her chubby cheeks. It seems that this time his help will not be needed after all. A few drops of medicine saved the child from these terrible colics, no matter how bad they were. Just a few minutes ago, the baby was crying so hard that the Angel already thought that his time had come. Nervous work, yes... But gradually Angel got used to childhood illnesses, fortunately the mother of his ward was adequate. He remembered the Guardian with gratitude - probably, after all, difficult cases are not thrown at newcomers.

No, early on he thought well of this young lady! Well, that’s why she dragged a three-year-old child to the sea, alone, in a reserved seat and with transfers?! If Angel could, he would have gone gray in the subway on that terrible escalator. In the subway car I couldn’t resist pushing the hand of some unpleasant guy away from my purse with money. And he looked around guiltily - did he have the authority to do this?

The first days at sea Angel was nervous, then he calmed down. The mother of her ward did an excellent job of protecting her. I didn’t drag her into cold water, I didn’t buy dangerous products, I didn’t leave her unattended. At such moments he felt not very needed.

There were strong waves that day. However, some still managed to swim, not wanting to miss a single minute of their long-awaited vacation. The ward, with her prudent parent, sat under the canopy, intently laying out shells and beautiful stones on the blanket. Desperate teenagers jumped on the waves laughing. But the sea became more and more violent, the waves became higher, and the children finally abandoned their dangerous occupation.

The parent, looking at the intensifying storm, began to pack her things. And then the Angel noticed that there was another child left in the water, a blond boy of about ten years old, who was hastily swimming to the shore. But the wave was already rising. He won't make it, he won't make it! Save? But it’s impossible, this is someone else’s ward... There was no time left for reasoning, the Angel covered the child with himself, and the wave fearfully retreated. He immediately looked back at his ward, but everything was calm - the child was walking hand in hand with his mother towards the park...

- Tell me, are you deaf or stupid? – The Guardian was annoyed. – I told you not to interfere, did I?
- What bad did I do? After all, no one was hurt. What is the child's fault?
- Blame... me too... Once you work with me, you’ll forget such words! There are rules not invented by fools! Go, and next time look around less, got it?!
The angel did not expect such a “cordial” reception. Yes, he broke the rules, but he saved the boy's life. Where was his angel anyway?! “I hope this lazy guy at least got hit harder than me,” thought the Angel.

The baby grew up, the Angel was next to her every minute. Twice he had to intervene in the fate of his ward, who grew up, got married and gave birth to two sons. Once he saved her from an out-of-control car, and the second time from death during difficult childbirth. The angel was worried, because his ward was only thirty-four, and there was only one possibility of salvation left. Is it a lot or a little? He constantly thought that perhaps the car would have managed to swerve, or the doctors would have managed it without his help.

These were the thoughts that seemed to fill Angel's mind as he accompanied the young woman on a late winter evening. When a man appeared in a dark alley and something flashed in his hand, the Angel tensed. But he was calm, because there was still one more opportunity to save his ward. The woman screamed when she saw the knife. The man grinned and said:

“You can’t protect her, you can only watch.”
- What do you…
“I’m not talking to you, but to him!”

And the Angel realized that somehow the man saw him. And the worst thing is that he recognized the face of the rapist. Although, the last time Angel saw him was a ten-year-old boy fleeing a wave. The same blond curls peeked out from under the hat, but the look of his piercing blue eyes had changed... How could that boy grow into a killer? The angel shielded the woman with himself, but immediately felt that he could not give her protection. But what about the rules?! “We save three times,” said the Guardian.

The man came closer, the woman seemed numb, she could not move or scream. The angel thought frantically, mentally calling on the Guardian. But there was no answer from there. Perhaps, by saving the child that time, he gave him a third opportunity to protect his ward? What to do now? What does it say in the instructions?

The angel remembered how once, completely not understanding how he did it, he pushed the thief’s hand away from the bag with money. But several attempts to do the same with the man failed - there was no power over him. Finally, the Angel looked up, and his head became clearer. Great! He flew into the air, concentrating on only one thought - to strike. Oh, what a blessing that on this day the cleaning service did not have time to remove this giant icicle from the canopy...

“Clever,” the Guardian grinned.
- So, you won’t... uh... scold me for killing a man?
- And it shouldn’t have existed. How can you punish for the murder of someone who should not have been on earth for a long time?

The angel thought for a long time, then finally asked:
- Why didn’t anyone save him from the wave that time?
“Correct question,” the Guardian winked slyly. – You see, what’s the matter, such people don’t have angels. Rotten souls are not supposed to be protected. But, as you can see, they themselves see you. They get angry, they take revenge... sometimes they don’t know why.
- Why couldn’t I protect her from harm a third time? Surely there was a third possibility? Did I really spend it on him?!
– And you, angels, are powerless in front of such people. “If you just hit me with an icicle,” the Guardian smiled. – And not everyone will guess.
– But... that means I can save her again?
- Why alone? Yes, at least save me a hundred times!
- But the instructions! You yourself told me that we save three times...

The Guardian laughed loudly.
- Look, you new guys are all so... funny. I'm sure you don't remember your instructions at all. This is because there are no instructions. And I told you about three times, so that you don’t rush to every little thing with your help. People, you know, have to live their lives, make mistakes and draw conclusions from them, you know? And we are a last resort. And the newcomers, with their hyper-responsibility, ruin everything and corrupt the soul. That's right... But about the inviolability of someone else's fate - I'm telling you this seriously.
– Still a rule?
- What a clueless one! Advice…

Once upon a time I found wonderful poems on the Internet. They sank into my soul so much, as if they read me from the inside. Here's a look:

God bless my children
From unkind and evil people!
Save from all kinds of diseases.
Let them grow up healthy!

Lord, let them know love,
Experience what the word “mother” means
And don’t deprive them of their fatherly feelings!
Reward them with the beauty of your soul.

Human life is far from paradise.
Lord, give them patience!
Help me not to stumble in life.
Let not their enemies prevail.

Life is difficult at times, but wise.
Do not spare goodness for them.
Let their fate be a long thread.
Lord, don't let me survive them!

Or like this mother's prayer from Elena Shustryakova:

As long as the children will need me.

You can heal any illness,
Forgive me and accept repentance.
Only you know how to love like that
And understand bodily suffering.

You walked the path from the manger to the cross,
The Lord, who took human form.
Your kindness is incomprehensible
You were, and are, and are invariably eternal!

Keep my children in the midst of adversity.
Don't allow the threat of mortal combat!
And I believe it will save them from evil
My tear-washed prayer...

Oh, Lord, how short is the earthly path.
The wind tends to blow out my candle...
I pray you don’t send death after me,
As long as the children need me...

As a rule, when we are faced with a difficult situation or problems, at such moments even the most unbelieving people mentally turn to God, begging him for help, recovery, correction.

Mothers are advised to learn one or two prayers for their children and read them every day before bed or at dawn. It is believed that the power of a mother's prayer- special. After all, every mother is connected with her child of any age by strong invisible threads that stretch from the moment of conception. Maternal prayer - sincere and noble - can work real miracles.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother,

Hear me, your sinful and unworthy servant (name).
Lord, in the mercy of Your power, my child (name), have mercy and save him for Your name’s sake.
Lord, forgive him all the sins, voluntary and involuntary, that he committed before You.
Lord, guide him on the true path of Your commandments and enlighten him and enlighten him with Your light of Christ, for the salvation of the soul and the healing of the body.
Lord, bless him in the house, around the house, in the field, at work and on the road and in every place of Your possession.
Lord, protect him under the protection of Your Saints from a flying bullet, arrow, knife, sword, poison, fire, flood, from a deadly ulcer and from vain death.
Lord, protect him from visible and invisible enemies, from all troubles, evils and misfortunes.
Lord, heal him from all diseases, cleanse him from all filth (wine, tobacco, drugs) and ease his mental suffering and sorrow.
Lord, grant him the grace of the Holy Spirit for many years of life, health, and chastity.
Lord, give him Your blessing for a godly family life and godly childbearing.
Lord, grant also to me, Thy unworthy and sinful servant (name), a parental blessing on my child (name) in the coming mornings, days, evenings and nights, for the sake of Thy name, for Thy Kingdom is eternal, omnipotent and omnipotent.

Amen.
Lord have mercy

Here are more modern prayers and poems. Unfortunately, not all poems have a known author.

GOD BLESS

Thank God for all the donations,
Thank God for all the suffering.

Thank God for the dark nights
Good days and bad days.

Thank God for nice days,
Because our characters are different.

For the roads are hard, long,
For separations, always sad.

Thank God for tears with songs,
That He led along wonderful paths.

Thank God for many mercies:
What He allowed to grow from the swaddling clothes.

That He always showed us the way,
It didn't hurt that He punished us.

That I forgave, forgetting the past,
That He gave us only good things.

What did He give to us, the burdened inhabitants,
To the eternal life of the Guide.

Glory to God, glory to Him for everything!
He has the right to do so.
N.A. Vodnevsky

MOTHER'S PRAYER.

I'm afraid for the children, I'm afraid!
Every day I pray to you,
I beg you on my knees,
So that You keep them lovingly.
Can they avoid sin?
Not facing the evil of people?
You are like a merciful river
Will they float on it?
If you suddenly call me to leave
Along this river to another world,
I ask you: shine for them
With its unearthly tenderness.
And I will begin to twinkle as a star,
In the sky at sunset.
To the sky with your head up
There will be children looking at me.

* * *

And the woman quietly prayed,
So that grief does not happen to anyone:
Not with my daughter, not with my son-in-law, not with my grandson,
Neither with my mother nor with my friend,
Not with my husband on a long journey,
Not with the son who lived in the East,
With my sister and nephew too,
With father... God bless them!
Then she prayed for various things:
About life big and beautiful,
About friendship, about the desired world,
About happiness in tireless work,
About strangers' children and teenagers,
What do they look for at intersections with trouble?
She prayed to God for everyone,
But I forgot about myself.
What does she need from life?
After all, the general happiness is obedient
Her purely feminine happiness -
Source of goodness and participation!

* * *

Mother's Prayer
beautiful,
There is no stronger prayer.
With her, the child’s life is not dangerous -
The light of Christ's love is hidden in it!
While the mother prays for her child,
The Lord protects him from troubles,
Saves my darling from hell,
I lived in paradise so that I could be with Him.
Pray, mothers, with hope,
That God will have mercy on children
And them with Your gentle hand
He will take you away from all passions.
He will take away their sorrows,
That the poor soul is oppressed,
He will open His distances for them,
That they lead to the Kingdom of God.
The Most Pure One herself is invisible
Says prayer with mother
And troubles pass by the house,
Heavenly peace reigns in him.
There is no more beautiful prayer from a mother,
She is always heard by the Creator,
For the mothers of our planet
I pray to the heavenly Father!

* * *

Mothers have a sacred position in the world -
Pray for gifted children.
Both day and night in the invisible ether
The prayers of our mothers are heard.

One will fall silent, the other will echo her.
Night will replace day, and night will come again.
But mothers' prayers never cease
For your dear son or daughter.

The Lord listens to the prayers of mothers,
He loves them more than we love them.
Mother never tires of praying
About children who are not yet saved

There is time for everything, as long as we are alive,
We must pray and cry out to God.
There is an unearthly power hidden in prayer,
When their mother whispers them with tears.

How quiet. The birds have fallen silent in the yard,
Everyone had already gone to bed a long time ago.
I bowed down to pray in front of the window
My dear loving mother!

MOTHER'S PRAYER

Arms were crossed all night
The lips moved silently...
The sky was torn by lightning cracks...
“Let everything be safe!”
The wind whipped her gray hair,
The black bird and the scarf fell off.
Lil beacon light stripes,
The bell rang hoarsely...
“Have the brave died?
Having lost your way among the waves? —
Your hands are numb
The mother rises up in prayer to God.
Until dawn he stands like a statue.
The wind died down, the sea tamed.
Someone put their hands
Under her maternal grief.
Sons are full of gear
Dragged through sand and foam.
And, looking at her and the waves,
They knelt down in silence.

A WOMAN'S PRAYER

Thank you Lord for your mercy
To live in the world as a woman!
Although this fate is not an easy one -
Give birth to children, keep a family.
And sometimes a woman’s heart
Tired of the bustle
And he asks with sincere prayer:
“Heavenly Father, help!”
Crying out to You for forgiveness
For all the mistakes and sins,
I know for sure: you won’t reject me,
You will understand and regret it.
Giving hope as consolation,
You will strengthen with strength from above,
And I can overcome everything,
If, like a daughter, you forgive me!

Katharina Martens

* * *

Blessed is your first cry.
Blessed be the pain and torment,
And the mother's bright face,
And those caring hands
What was greeted with warmth
You, rushing towards the light.
Blessed are the day and the house,
Those who have known this moment.
May the angel carefully guard
Having fenced you off with wings,
From troubles, sorrows and insults
And captivates with bright dreams.
And if the hour of testing
Will come to you one morning -
Let life be a warm candle
It burns brightly and wisely within you.

Nadezhda Buranova

PRAYER FOR CHILDREN

My soul cries out to God:
Save my children!
Let them choose the path
Hope, truth and love.
Let the evil world not lure you in
With your destructive hand,
And he won’t cloud it with his evil
Your Image, Lord, is alive.
May the Holy Spirit fill them,
Among disbelief and enmity,
He always teaches and instructs
And protects from evil misfortune.
When will they meet temptations?
May you, God, allow them to stand.
Rush to You without delay
And beg for support.
Be with them in joy and in sorrow,
Lead, Father, with Your hand.
And among the waves in the sea of ​​life,
Keep them, Good Lord.
You are a mother's prayer
I believe, God, I wrote it down.
I will fight my battle
For the children that You gave me.

And another incredibly beautiful one prayer song about my son and daughter:
I put an end to it on a clear day
Moonlight, making its way along the wall.
Little son and older daughter
They sleep quietly and dream fairy tales.
The kids are sleeping, but I can't sleep at all,
I’m quietly having a conversation with God.
Let the children only dream good things,
And I will spend time in prayer.

The mother's prayer sounds silently,
Words of blessing in silence
And the moonlight shed grace,
Like a gift of peace for my soul.

Dear son, grow up healthy
And don’t forget to listen to your mother,
And always be inspired by your dreams
Grow out of your toys quickly.
You, daughter, be smart and modest,
Be persistent and patient
Let in your kind heart and huge soul
The Holy Spirit is constantly at work.

Let each of you find his own path,
Bad weather and trouble will pass you by,
Let each of you entrust his life to God,
Blessed be you always.
My words leave my lips inaudibly,
They are heard only by the Lord and me,
And each of them breathes love
Tender concern for the future of children.

Two angels at your bedside all night
Children's cribs hover like guards,
Looking silently at the children with love,
They keep their sleep and give grace.

Prayer for children is hope and support, it is a miracle that is available to every loving and believing heart!..

How do you feel about prayer? Do you resort to their help? Are they helping you?

God bless you!

With warmth and love,

Real hysteria of healing from illnesses, help in difficult situations, protection from evil forces

A mother’s prayerful sigh for her children

God! Creator of all creatures, adding mercy to mercy, You made me worthy to be the mother of a family; Your goodness has given me children, and I dare to say: they are Your children! Because You gave them existence, revived them with an immortal soul, revived them through Baptism for a life in accordance with Your will, adopted them and accepted them into the bosom of Your Church. God! Keep them in a state of grace until the end of their lives; grant them to be partakers of the Mysteries of Your Covenant; sanctify by Thy truth; may Thy holy name be sanctified in them and through them! Send me Your gracious help in raising them for the glory of Your name and the benefit of your neighbor! Give me methods, patience and strength for this purpose! Teach me to plant in their hearts the root of true wisdom - Thy fear! Illuminate them with the light of Your Wisdom! May they love You with all their souls and thoughts; may they cleave to You with all their hearts and throughout their entire lives, may they tremble at Your words! Grant me the wisdom to convince them that true life consists in keeping Your commandments, that work, strengthened by piety, brings serene contentment in this life, and ineffable bliss in eternity. Open to them the understanding of Your law, so that until the end of their days they act in the feeling of Your omnipresence; plant in their hearts fear and disgust from all lawlessness, may they be blameless in their ways, may they always remember that You, All-Good God, are the Jealous of Your law and righteousness! Keep them in chastity and reverence for Your name, so that they do not discredit Your Church with their behavior, but let them live according to its instructions! Inspire them with a desire for useful learning and make them capable of every good deed, so that they may acquire a true understanding of those subjects whose information is necessary in their condition, and may be enlightened with knowledge beneficial to humanity. God! Manage me to imprint with indelible marks on the minds and hearts of my children the fear of partnerships with those who do not know Your fear, to instill in them every possible distance from any alliance with the lawless, may they not listen to rotten conversations, may they not be led astray from Your path by bad examples, may they not be tempted by this that sometimes the path of the wicked is successful in this world. Heavenly Father! Grant me the grace to take every possible care to seduce my children through my actions. But constantly keeping in mind their behavior, distract them from errors, correct their mistakes, curb their stubbornness and obstinacy, refrain from striving for vanity and frivolity, so that they do not get carried away by crazy thoughts, do not follow their hearts, do not become proud in their thoughts theirs, may they not forget You and Your law, may iniquity not destroy their mind and health, may the sins of their mental and physical strength not weaken them. 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 against 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 the path pleasing to 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 all misfortune and evil path. All-merciful 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 shameless boldness to say: “Here I am and my children whom You gave me, Lord!” Yes, together with them, glorifying Your ineffable goodness and eternal love, I extol Your most holy name, Father, Son and Holy Soul, forever and ever.
