Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker
A mother’s prayer for her son or daughter to successfully pass the exam can be addressed to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, who always helps those who turn to him for help. It should sound the moment they leave home, when they go to school, college or university for examination tests.
O Saint Nicholas, People's Pleasant! We remember and honor Thy holy kindness, Do not forsake God’s (God’s) sinner’s servant (sinful) even now! Clear my mind of unnecessary thoughts, deign to bring peace to my soul, Grant me, be lenient, the intelligence for the upcoming exam! I believe that You are blessed and just, I have holy hope for Your salvation, Hear my prayer for the sake of our Lord. Amen
Parental prayer for children taking an exam
Parents who sincerely love their children cannot remain indifferent to what is happening in the hour of trial that befalls their children. Often, they worry just as much. Therefore, they often turn to the face of Saint Matrona of Moscow with a request for good luck in exams. In this case, prayer, multiplied by parental love and care, can create a miracle:
Holy Matronushka, protector of children and mothers, I ask you for one thing at this moment, but I don’t ask, but I beg. Give strength to my dear little one, don’t leave her in difficult trials, help her, show her the easy way. So that the tickets are simple, and so that the Servant of God (name of the child) holds the answer, and so that luck is upon her.
You should start praying to Matrona of Moscow for successfully passing the exam ahead of time. It is best to pray in a temple. If for some reason this is not possible, you can pray at home in front of the image of the saint. There is no need to leave prayer for the last day before the test.
Prayer to Saint Tatiana before the exam
When preparing for exams, you can turn to the patroness of students for help. She always helps those who study to master the required amount of knowledge, concentrate before taking tests, calm down and collect themselves.
Oh, holy martyr Tatiano, bride of your Sweetest Bridegroom Christ, lamb of the Divine Lamb, dove of chastity, clothed in suffering like royal robes, numbered among the heavenly faces, now rejoicing in eternal glory, promised to God from her youth as a holy servant of the Church, observing chastity and more loving all the good things of the Lord! We pray to you and we ask you: listen to the request of our hearts and do not reject our prayers. Grant purity of body and soul, inhale love for Divine truths, lead us onto a virtuous path, ask God for angelic protection for us, heal our wounds and bodily ulcers, grant patience in suffering, heal sinful ulcers, protect our youth, grant painless and comfortable old age , help in the hour of death. Remember our sorrows and grant us joy. Visit us, who are in the prison of sin, instruct us quickly in repentance, kindle the flame of prayer, do not abandon us, the orphans, and glorifying your suffering, we send praise to the Lord of hosts, always, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer before the exam
Prayer for help in passing an exam is undoubtedly a strong help for a student. However, it is worth understanding that the main effort should be made by the student himself. Prayers without support in action will not be heard.
Also, you should not perceive prayer as some kind of conspiracy, or a magical text, after reading which everything will be decided in an instant by itself.
The laity should remember God at every hour, not only when they need something. Lead a decent lifestyle, pray, go to church, help those in need as much as you can. Try to avoid committing sinful acts. Remember: God sees everything and will manage it in the way that is best for you.
First of all, studying is the path to becoming a specialist in a certain field.
Becoming a true professional is a good goal that is definitely worth striving for, but sometimes each of us stumbles upon certain obstacles in studying subjects and preparing for exams. Then, of course, you should ask for participation and support from above.
Prayer before the exam to the Lord and the holy saints helps in the following matters:
- Laziness, those cases when nothing comes to mind, you want to do anything but study, or simply fall into the trap of procastination and procrastinate until the last minute.
- Difficulty understanding and remembering certain topics or even entire subjects.
- Fear, anxiety and lack of self-confidence and level of preparation for exams, or fear of public speaking.
- Anxiety associated with the reluctance to disappoint parents by receiving a bad grade on an exam.
- An overly demanding teacher who accepts change, demands a bribe, or is simply simply negatively disposed towards you.
Prayer to Archangel Michael for passing the exam
You can turn to Saint Archangel Michael in prayer before the exam. This is a strong prayer from parents for their children before an exam, which helps the child concentrate at this crucial moment and successfully pass the test.
O Lord Great God, King Without Beginning, send, O Lord, Thy Archangel Michael to the aid of Thy servant (name), take me away from my enemies, visible and invisible! O Lord Archangel Michael, pour out myrrh of moisture on your servant (name). O Lord Michael the Archangel, destroyer of demons! Forbid all enemies who fight against me, make them like sheep and crush them like dust before the wind. O great Lord Michael the Archangel, six-winged first prince and commander of the weightless powers, Cherub and Seraphim! O God-pleasing Archangel Michael! Be my help in everything: in insults, in sorrows, in sorrows, in deserts, at crossroads, on rivers and seas a quiet refuge! Deliver, Michael Archangel, from all the charms of the devil, when you hear me, your sinful servant (name), praying to you and calling on your holy name, hasten to my help, and hear my prayer, O Great Archangel Michael! Lead all those who oppose me with the power of the honorable life-giving cross of the Lord, with the prayers of the Most Holy Theotokos and the Holy Apostles, and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, St. Andrew the Fool and the Holy Prophet of God Elijah, and the Holy Great Martyr Nikita and Eustathius, the Reverend Father of all Saints and Martyr and all the holy heavenly powers. Amen.
What prayer about exams will help a child pass it successfully?
It is also difficult to talk about who exactly to pray for a child. Words coming from the heart can be directed directly to the Creator, to Jesus, and to the Mother of God. Nicholas the Wonderworker is also among the top ones, since he is considered the protector of children.
It is important to remember that children are protected not only by the Mother of God, but also by St. Nicholas the Wonderworker. When praying for a child, you can also appeal to your patron saint.
Prayer to the Mother of God to increase your mind
It happens that a child tries hard, pores over textbooks for hours, but the subject still doesn’t work out for him. In this case, it would not be amiss to turn to the Mother of God for an increase in intelligence.
You can strengthen the effect of prayer with the help of the icon of the same name. The oldest original “Adding Mind” is located in the Yaroslavl region. But there are also copies.
You should pray to the icon, placing the image of the Holy One in front of you and kneeling. Words are pronounced clearly, expressively, without tongue twister and without swallowing endings. Immediately before prayer, it is advisable to re-read the text to yourself.
By the way, prayers to improve intelligence are read not only to help those who are lagging behind in any subject.
It is also used to guide lost souls on the true Path, and is pronounced by parents of children who, for one reason or another, lag behind their peers in development. Also, “Adding the Mind” is read to gain worldly wisdom.
We ask Matrona, Nicholas the Wonderworker and other saints
You can also ask other saints for your child. For example, from Matrona:
or:
From Nicholas the Wonderworker:
From Sergius of Radonezh:
John of Kronstadt:
Archangel Michael:
To all saints:
All of them, to one degree or another, are protectors of students. This means they will help children in a difficult task called “exam”.
But, again, just reading the text of the prayer is not enough. You need to live it, pass it through your own soul.
Also, the effect will be much greater if you pray not at home, but in church. Ideally, in front of the face of the very saint to whom the appeal is being made. Icons have shown miracles to the world more than once or twice. So why shouldn't a miracle happen again?
Prayer to Sergius of Radonezh
Turning to St. Sergius of Radonezh in prayer before an exam can be especially effective if the child is not strong in knowledge, and studying and, especially, preparing for exams is a very difficult test for him. According to legend, as a child the saint was not strong in knowledge; learning was given to him with great difficulty. One day he decided to turn to the Lord for help and read a prayer. From that moment on, he began to study eagerly and became an educated man. That is why he willingly helps those who pray for help in studying and passing exams.
O sacred head, reverend and God-bearing Father Sergius, by your prayer, and faith, and love, even for God, and the purity of your heart, you have settled your soul on earth in the monastery of the Most Holy Trinity, and have been granted angelic communion and the visitation of the Most Holy Theotokos, and the gift received miraculous grace, after your departure from earthly people, you drew closer to God, and partook of heavenly powers, but did not retreat from us in the spirit of your love, and your honest power, like a full and overflowing vessel of grace, was 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 Greatly Gifted God every gift that is beneficial to everyone, observance of the immaculate faith, establishment of our cities, peace, deliverance from famine and destruction, preservation from the invasion of foreigners, consolation for the afflicted, healing for the sick, restoration for the fallen, for those who go astray on the path of truth and return of salvation, strengthening for those who strive, prosperity and blessing for those who do good in good deeds, upbringing of infants, instruction for the young, admonition for the ignorant, intercession for orphans and widows, departing from this temporary life for the eternal, good preparation and parting words, blessed rest for those departed, and all of us assisted by your prayers vouchsafe on the day of the Last Judgment to be delivered from this part, and to be partakers of the right hand of the country 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. Amen.
For help, you can also turn to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the Most Holy Theotokos, Matrona of Moscow and others. The texts of prayers must be read with pure thoughts and an open heart. To do this, you need to go to church, and if this is not possible, at home in front of the icons of saints with lit candles.
How to pray for children correctly
In order for prayer to work, you need to ask God correctly. No, we are not talking about memorizing text in Old Church Slavonic. This is not at all necessary. The words of the prayer can be modified, as long as the essence does not change. But how they are pronounced plays a key role.
You need to pray from the heart. Words must come from the heart. Otherwise, there is no point in turning to the Higher Powers - they will remain deaf to a request that does not come from the heart.
But it’s not enough to just ask. You also need unshakable faith in your own words. If the person praying loses hope, then it will be impossible to help him.
As for the integrity of the texts, there is also a “but” here. The existing prayers from the collections are approved by the Church Fathers. They are considered canonical, and therefore effective.
On the other hand, the words coming from the heart will definitely be heard by the Lord. Therefore, it is not necessary to learn the address by heart, down to the last comma. It is enough to read the printed lines, remember the main thing from them and turn to God as often as possible, repeating the request. After all, this is not a poem, but a prayer, where the main thing is unshakable faith and an open soul.
There is no clear answer to the question of how often you can pray for your child. Whoever needs as much as he needs, prays as much as he can, even every day or even hour. The main thing is to do it correctly and with a pure heart.
Words coming from the heart will definitely be heard. Therefore, it is not necessary to learn the address by heart, down to the last comma, because this is not a poem, but a prayer, where the main thing is unshakable faith and an open soul.
Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos in front of the “Increase in Mind” icon
Most Pure Mother of God, the house which the Wisdom of God created for herself, the Giver of spiritual gifts, raising our minds from the world to the worldly and leading everyone to the knowledge of reason! Receive prayerful singing from us, Thy unworthy servants, who bow with faith and tenderness before Thy most pure image. Pray to Thy Son and our God to grant wisdom and strength to our rulers, truth and impartiality to judges, spiritual wisdom to shepherds, zeal and vigil for our souls, a mentor to the humble Dear children, obedience, to all of us the spirit of reason and piety, the spirit of humility and meekness, spirit of purity and truth. And now, our all-singing, all-loving Mother, give us an increase in intelligence, pacify, unite in the enmity and division of existence and lay down for them an insoluble bond of love, for all those who have gone astray from unreason to the light of truth X Convert Christ, teach the fear of God, self-control and hard work, the word of wisdom and Grant soul-helping knowledge to those who ask, to overshadow us with eternal joy, the brightest Cherubim and the most honest Seraphim. We, seeing the glorious deeds and manifold wisdom of God in the world and our life, will eliminate earthly vanities and unnecessary worldly worries, and we will raise our mind and heart to Heaven, I May Your intercession and help bring glory, praise, thanksgiving and worship to the glorified God in the Trinity and we send all to the Creator, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Why do prayers help in studying?
Prayer is not just a ritual. Russian neuropsychologist Valery Slezin, studying changes in the brains of praying people, came up with something surprising. During prayer, a person enters a special energy state. His soul is harmonized, sincere desires come first, messages to himself and others acquire a good character. The neuropsychologist called this state “prayerful wakefulness.”
Prayers help in everything, and not only in studies, primarily by changing our psychological state. By praying, we gain self-confidence and get rid of fear. To the true believer, God smiles from heaven, says the immutable. Before the exam itself, reading the Lord’s Prayer can put you in the right state.
However, self-confidence alone is not enough to pass an unlearned exam. Preparation and study should always be high on the list of priorities. Prayers will help you overcome fear and avoid unpleasant circumstances, but God helps only those who have.
