Texts of prayers for a child for a restful sleep

Prayer to the Guardian Angel

You can submit a petition to the guardian angel, who is given to a person at his birth and accompanies him until his last days. An adult usually comes to him independently with his requests. Parents ask their child to sleep soundly at night. The mother's words for the sake of the child are especially effective, since she has the strongest connection with the child.

Holy Angel to the Guardian of my hada (name), cover him with your cover from the arrows of the demon, from the eyes of the deceiver and keep his heart in angelic purity. Amen.

Such a little mother’s prayer to the guardian angel will become a strong amulet and will bring sound sleep and peace.

Prayer to Saint Matrona

Women who have found the happiness of motherhood often turn to Matrona of Moscow, but they are worried about the condition of the baby, especially his intermittent sleep. To ensure a quick fall asleep and rest on time, to protect the baby from whims and fears, it is useful to say the words of the prayer for the baby’s sleep in front of the icon of St. Matrona.

O blessed mother Matrona, with your soul in heaven before the Throne of God, you remain in the body, rest on earth, and by the grace given from above, various miracles are released. Now think about your merciful look at us, sinners, in pain, illness and sinful temptations on which your days depend, comfort us in despair, heal our cruel ailments, God tolerates our sins, saves us from many problems and situations, pray O our Lord Jesus Christ will forgive us all our sins, iniquities and falls, we have sinned from our youth to the present day, and now through your prayers we have received grace and great mercy, we will glorify in the Trinity the one God the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit , now, always and always.

Prayer to the Holy Youths of Ephesus

Prayer to the young Ephesian saints, who were walled up alive in a cave for the Christian faith and sentenced to a slow death, can be effective. But instead, by the will of God, they fell into a deep sleep and slept like that for about 200 years. Their miraculous awakening helped strengthen the Christian faith.

Oh, the wonderful holiness of the children of the seven numbers, Ephesus, the city of glory, and all the hope of the universe! Look from the heights of celestial glory at us, who honor your memory with love, especially at the Christian children to whom your parents entrusted your intercession: may the blessing of Christ God descend upon her, saying: let the children come to Me: heal the sick in them, comfort the mourning; Keep their hearts pure, I will fill them with meekness, and in the land of their hearts I will plant and strengthen the seed of the confession of God, that it may grow even stronger; and all of us, the holy icon of your coming, your relics, kissing you and fervently praying to you, grant the Kingdom of Heaven to hear and the silent voices of joy to glorify the majestic name of the Holy Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever. Amen.

O Most Holy Virgin Mary, save and keep under Your protection my children (names), all young men, virgins and babies, baptized and nameless and born in their mother’s womb. Cover them with the garment of your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to your parents, pray to my Lord and your Son to grant them what is useful for their salvation. I entrust them to Your maternal gaze, because You are the Divine Cover for Your servants.
Mother of God, lead me to the image of your heavenly motherhood. Heal the mental and physical wounds of my children (names) caused by my sins. I completely trust my son to my Lord Jesus Christ and Your Most Pure heavenly protection. Amen.

How to put a baby to sleep

If you have ruled out the possibility that the baby is hungry, has wet diapers, or is in pain, then we proceed to selecting the best means for falling asleep:

As already mentioned, an important aspect is maintaining a daily routine . It is necessary to prepare for bed, if possible, at the same time.
During the first month, you should introduce your baby to the times of day - day and night. During the day it should be light in your apartment, you should not communicate in a whisper, but, as you understand, you should not shout either. Some pleasant music or a film can be an accompanying sound background. At night, on the contrary, darkness and silence prevail.
If there is a need to feed or change a diaper, then it is better to do this using a dim night light so as not to interrupt sleep.
Excessive nervous excitement (active games, loud noises, lots of attention from grandparents) a few hours before bedtime will also not work in your favor. The same will apply to older children.
Equally important is an adequate feeding rhythm. Every adult knows that sleep after eating is especially pleasant. According to WHO, a child during the first 3-4 weeks of life should be fed on demand. However, starting from the end of the first month of life, you must get used to the feeding schedule and the interval between them. Thus, in the second month of life, infants need to be fed 6 times a day, maintaining a 3.5 hour interval between feedings. Night feedings are not counted. And starting from 6 months, you can switch to 5 feedings a day, observing 4-hour intervals. If your baby does not wake up on his own at night to eat, this does not mean that he needs to be woken up and forcibly given breastfeeding or formula. This means that your baby does not feel hungry, otherwise he will let you know about it.

There are many methods for putting a child to sleep, the main thing is to choose the right one.

Bedtime methods

So, below are several methods that will help you put your baby to sleep:

White noise . As you understand, while the baby was inside his mother, he was never completely silent. He always heard the beat of her heart, the sound of her voice, all the sounds happening around: the voices of others, the sound of rain, wind, water, music. Therefore, all these quiet, measured sounds will give him a feeling of calm, safety and comfort.
Swaddling . Babies in the first months of life are characterized by spontaneous motor activity in the form of startles, which can cause problems with sleep. To prevent your own hands from being frightened by spontaneous movements and not woken up, you can use regular or special diapers for changing. This will ensure more restful and longer sleep.
Motion sickness . This is also one of the things that simulates intrauterine life, which is so familiar to a child. While it was in your stomach, all your movements, travel in transport, and playing sports were a kind of motion sickness, which allowed you to sleep sweetly and enjoy life. Therefore, after birth, taking him in your arms and carrying him for up to half an hour, you will create that very favorable environment for sleep. You can also rock your baby in a playpen, stroller or rocking chair. If you are willing to spend a little money, there are special rocking centers that make life easier for parents. But this is not always the easiest way to help your baby sleep. For mom this is quite hard physical work. Therefore, if you want to put your baby to sleep without motion sickness, in order to make your life easier, it is better to teach him to fall asleep without them.
Diaper with mom's scent. For the baby, mother, her smell and voice are a feeling of safety and comfort. Therefore, if you sleep on a diaper, and then the baby is covered with it, or you just put it next to him, this will help him fall asleep.
Ritual . Come up with something for yourself and your little one to do before bed (no more than 30 minutes). It should be something relaxing and calming. For example, turn on quiet, calm music so that the child quickly falls asleep. Sing him lullabies or use gentle strokes. In a few days you will understand for yourself what is right for you and your baby.
Sling . In other words, this is a fabric that allows you to fix the baby to the mother’s body and ensure maximum contact. At this time, the mother can go about her business with her hands free, and the baby can sleep carefree.
Using a pacifier . The sucking reflex appears in the womb when the baby begins to suck his thumb. It's no secret that this helps your child fall asleep.
Deception . Place your baby next to you, hug him, close your eyes and try to breathe slowly and steadily. By pretending to be asleep, you will signal that it is time for him to rest too.
Be observant . Just watch the baby, he will always give a signal that he is ready to sleep. Children begin to yawn, rub their faces and eyes with their hands, become less active and lose interest in surrounding things and events. Catch the right moment and go to bed.

How to read a prayer to a child at night?

In order for a child to get rid of insomnia and fear of dreams, it is important not only to read the prayer, but also to do it correctly. Only then will the desired result be achieved. You need to offer a prayer for a child’s sleep by reading or by heart; telling it in your own words is not considered effective.

The request must be made sincerely, with full faith that the Lord will hear and help as soon as possible. You need to pray in a calm state, pronounce the words effortlessly, realizing the meaning of each of them.

Before asking for help for his son, the person praying must repent of his sins and ask for forgiveness. This is a very important point that should not be overlooked, and if this is not done, you should not count on an answer.

If the prayer is read before bedtime, it should be whispered quietly in the baby’s ear. This will relieve the child from difficult dreams, give peace, relieve insomnia and fears, and ensure sound sleep.

Conspiracies to prevent a child from being capricious

Every parent wants their son to study, obey his elders and not cause much trouble. Children are an extension of their parents, and problems with their behavior cannot be ignored. A strong obedience ritual is a good method to forget about children’s bad behavior forever. Rituals performed at home will help to solve the following problems:

aggressive behavior of a son or daughter;
constant whims;
reluctance to study and go to school;
bad company that children keep;
addictions in children (smoking, drinking alcohol or drugs).

It is not possible to enlighten your child with moral teaching alone. There are other cases when damage has been caused to the family and it is the negative impact that affects the behavior of children. The baby, who until recently was obedient, is the first to react to damage or the evil eye. Protective magic will help save your own child from other people's rituals. Older children also respond well to conspiracies.

Bathing spell for obedience

There is no point in punishing naughty children, especially in cases where a baby (who is no more than three years old) becomes capricious. It will not be possible to explain anything to a newborn. The ritual of bathing, which is suitable for encouraging obedience in newborns or infants, saves you from the behavior of naughty children.

The mother prepares for the ceremony especially carefully so as not to harm her own child. In order for him to obey and be less capricious, the mother needs to give the baby a good bath, wash him and calm him down. While he is calmly splashing in the water, the mother should read a simple spell:

“Oh, mother child! Water off a duck's back, thinness on you. My dreams, my daughter, servant of God and servant of God (name), free yourself from anxiety. Amen".

Soon the baby will become obedient, his sleep will improve, and there will be no trace of capriciousness.

Prayers for disobedience

Prayers will help against disobedience. For parents, the words of prayer will be a real salvation if their son or daughter sleeps poorly and constantly cries. The words of prayer should be said while the children are eating. For parents, spelling food is the easiest way to achieve obedience. After this, you should not use other conspiracies.

Prayers will help with disobedience

For the son’s obedience or a conspiracy against his daughter, he speaks out sincerely without regret or aggression. It is important for parents to get rid of any negativity, even that which lurks in their own soul. Clearing your energy is just as important as helping your own child. Prayers and conspiracies will help all children of any age (for a son, daughter, teenager). While eating, the mother or father needs to whisper:

“As you eat and drink from my hand, so you give me your will, always, forever and ever. Amen. Amen. Amen".

Ritual against bad habits in children

To ensure that the baby is calm and obedient, a ritual is performed on a personal item belonging to the child. During the ceremony, the son or daughter needs to be present in the house, but not near the mother or father. The child can do his usual activities.

The baby's thing is spoken in the evening, when the Sun sets. The spell is read three times:

“Let my child become obedient, let anger and hatred leave him! Let the parents arrive in honor, so as not to give in to unnecessary work! May there be harmony in my house from now on! All-Merciful God, grant me patience and peace to my son! May Your will come in him and may his conscience awaken in his soul! Let him not resist obedience to his parents for the sake of Your Glorious Name! Amen".

The child will immediately feel calmer if he behaved aggressively before, and the internal anger will subside. The child will feel better. It is not worth performing the ritual in front of children. This behavior of parents can cause a backlash in a small member of the family. You should not impose your point of view on your son or daughter.
