Prayer for children: a mother's most powerful prayers for her children
God! Creator of all creatures, adding mercy to mercy, You have made me worthy to be the mother of a family; Your grace 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 sacraments of Your Covenant; sanctify by Thy truth; may Thy holy name be sanctified in them and through them!
Send down upon me Your gracious help in educating 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 that governs the universe! May they love You with all their souls and thoughts; may they cleave to You with all their hearts and throughout their entire life, may they tremble at Your words!
Grant me the understanding to convince them that true life consists in keeping Your commandments; that work, strengthened by piety, brings serene contentment in this life, and in eternity - inexpressible bliss.
Open to them the understanding of Your law! May they act until the end of their days in the feeling of Your omnipresence; plant in their hearts fear and disgust from all lawlessness; let them be blameless in their ways; May they always remember that You, All-Good God, are the Zealot of Your law and righteousness!
Keep them in chastity and reverence for Your name! Let them not discredit Your Church by their behavior, but let them live according to its instructions!
Inspire them with a desire for useful teaching and make them capable of every good deed! May they acquire a true understanding of those objects whose information is necessary in their condition; may they be enlightened with knowledge beneficial to humanity.
God! Manage me to impress with indelible marks on the minds and hearts of my children the fear of fellowship with those who do not know Thy fear; instill in them every possible distance from any alliance with the lawless; let them not listen to rotten conversations; May they not be led astray from Your path by bad examples; Let them not be tempted by the fact that sometimes the path of the wicked is successful in this world.
Heavenly Father! Grant me the grace to take every possible care to tempt my children with my actions, but, constantly keeping in mind their behavior, to distract them from errors, correct their mistakes, curb their stubbornness and obstinacy, refrain from striving for vanity and frivolity; Let them not be carried away by foolish thoughts, let them not follow their hearts, let them not become proud in their thoughts, let them not forget You and Your law.
May iniquity not destroy their mind and health, may sins not weaken their mental and physical strength.
Righteous Judge, who punishes children for the sins of their parents up to the 3rd and 4th generation, turn away such punishment from my children, do not punish them for my sins; but sprinkle them with the dew of Your grace, that they may prosper in virtue and holiness, that they may increase in Your favor and in the love of pious people. 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 tribulation, lest temptations befall them beyond their strength. Overshadow them with Your mercy; May Your Angel walk with them and protect them from every 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. Amen.
Mother's prayer for small and adult children
Mother's words are sacred. A mother’s prayer for children entails the manifestation and quick reaction of higher Powers. She is able to protect the child from the troubles and dangers of life, attracting happiness for the child, as well as the blessing of God.
It is a rare mother who is capable of wishing harm on her own child. Mothers of newborn children pray especially often. Previously, maternal prayer was said due to the increased mortality of infants. Every mother, fearing the loss of blood, strives to offer both a petition for the health of the child and praise to the Lord for his birth, hoping for a divine blessing.
Orthodox Christians showed sincere faith in the power of the Lord, asking for the Lord's forgiveness, asking for God's help in worldly matters.

To find some peace for the fate of a newborn or an already grown child, turn to the power of prayer directed to the Lord. Not only he, but even his son or daughter enjoys listening to holy words.
Even when the children are already adults, a mother's blessing will be appropriate. A few prayer words can give children happiness in the future.

The blessing is performed with a pure heart and conscience. The mother must bless herself. To do this, it is not necessary to attend church or observe rituals. Pray the way you like. It is advisable that you directly see or clearly imagine in your mind’s eye the object of your own prayers, imagining what kind of happy life awaits the child.
Pray out loud so that the little one can also listen to prayers, imbued with Faith.
Just a few movements, signs of blessing will help the offspring in life. Believe in the power of prayer words, and they will definitely come true.

Use any words of blessing you like, even making up your own.

A mother’s strong prayer for her foolish child has long proven its effectiveness. When a child leaves his father’s house even for a short time, create a blessing that should help him on his way to school, university or work. It will be able to pacify the soul and instill in it confidence that everything will be fine. Offer a prayer for the well-being of the child in order to give him happiness and peace of mind to your soul.
Whatever parents do to force them to study: they persuade, scold, and scare - nothing helps. Often, strong emotional pressure only leads to the fact that the child begins to react aggressively to appropriate comments, and then teachers offer to take such a student to independent study or to a special class. In order not to lead to the use of extreme measures, with a strong maternal prayer for the child, ask the Most Holy Theotokos in front of the “Increase in Mind” icon, so that she has an effect and guides the careless student. A blessing can create a real miracle.
