Prayer for my son and protection over him

Any Orthodox family becomes happier if God gives the father and mother a Son; even more joy comes to the house if not one, but several sons are born. A strong Orthodox prayer from a mother for her son will help your child in a difficult situation: in the army and at work, in business and when getting married, in solving problems with health and drunkenness. After all, a mother’s heart cannot remain indifferent to any adversity in her child’s life, and prayer is one of the ways to help!

The Mother’s strong prayer for her Son will help in any difficult situation: in the army, at work, illness, business, marriage and others.

So that the son can withstand all kinds of adversity, and not encounter trouble and grief on his way, the mother puts howl protection over him, constantly praying to God. It is believed that maternal prayer is the most sincere, reverent and, of course, the most powerful prayer, helping children go through life without lowering their heads. After all, there is nothing dearer to a mother than her child, to whom she is absolutely disinterestedly ready to give all known benefits. She is ready to dissolve in her child without a trace and even, if necessary, give her life for him. Therefore, a mother’s heart freezes with terrible pain if she feels that something is wrong with her son: maybe he is sick? Has the fire of joy and happiness gone out in his eyes? Is his fortitude leaving him? To prevent this from happening, mother always turns to God and All Saints with a request to protect her son from all possible troubles. And it is right. After all, as you know, grace will come to the baby only when it is sent by the Almighty, who has heard the mother’s prayer, which is strengthened a hundredfold if pronounced with a bitter tear in the eye. It is then that you can observe a real miracle.

Prayer for my son and protection over him

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother, hear me, your sinful and unworthy servant (your name).

Lord, in the mercy of Your power, my child (son’s 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 me, Thy unworthy and sinful servant, a parental blessing on my child in the coming mornings, days, evenings and nights, for Thy name’s sake, for Thy Kingdom is eternal, omnipotent and omnipotent. Amen. Lord have mercy."

From drunkenness

Ritual prayer to the Lord, Nicholas the Wonderworker and Blessed Matrona of Moscow to protect his son from drunkenness.

Light candles in the Temple near the faces of Jesus Christ, Nicholas the Wonderworker and Blessed Matrona of Moscow. Then order a liturgy for your son’s health, and order a separate liturgy for your health.

Buy three more candles for home and take some holy water. Stay alone in a locked room (no one should disturb you, not even pets), light three candles in front of the above three icons (one in front of each image).

Visualize your son’s face, imagining him already recovered, beautiful, successful and clearly pronounce the words:

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God. In grief, my son became addicted to drunkenness and completely distanced himself from you. Ban him from alcoholic desires, and give him Orthodox teaching. Let him be cleansed of excessive cravings, and his soul in the world will not become bad. Thy will be done. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Blessed Elder, Matrona of Moscow. In a bitter cup, the son found oblivion; he left Christ for bitter destruction. I beg you, take away the trouble quickly, so that he does not feel a strong need. Thy will be done. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Nicholas the Wonderworker, Pleasant of God. My child dies in sickening drunkenness; he doesn’t understand what his soul is doing. Drive away the craving for alcohol from your son, strengthen his weakened will. Let it be so. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen."

We read every day early in the morning - three times, making the sign of the cross and after each reading, drinking holy water three times from three sides of the cup.

Prayer for my son and protection over him to Nicholas the Wonderworker

O all-praised and all-pious bishop, great Wonderworker, Saint of Christ, Father Nicholas, man of God and faithful servant, man of desires, chosen vessel, strong pillar of the church, bright lamp, shining star and illuminating the whole universe: you are a righteous man, like a blossoming date planted in the courts of your Lord, living in Myra, you were fragrant with the world, and the myrrh flowed with the ever-flowing grace of God.

By your procession, holy father, the sea was illuminated, when your many-wonderful relics marched into the city of Barsky, from east to west praise the name of the Lord.

Prayer for her son and protection over him to Matrona

O blessed mother Matrono, hear and accept us now, sinners, praying to you, who in all your life has learned to receive and listen to all those who suffer and mourn, with faith and hope who resort to your intercession and help, giving quick help and miraculous healing to everyone;

Amen. Blessed Matronushka, pray to our Lord for the healing of God’s servant... (child’s name).

Prayer not in words, but in deeds

Fathers can also offer prayers for their children, as did the righteous man of the Old Testament, Job. He fervently prayed to God day after day: “rising early in the morning, he offered burnt offerings according to the number of all” his children, saying: “Perhaps my sons have sinned...” and “So did Job all the days” (Job.1.5)

In order for the child to walk his life’s path with dignity, parents read prayers for the well-being of their son. There are times when prayer alone is not enough. It is important that parents lead a godly life according to the commandments, attend church services, receive communion and confess. The fate, happiness, and salvation of children depend primarily on the parents. Often the only means for a child’s recovery is the repentance of his parents. Therefore, true love for your children must be proven in practice. With fervent and earnest prayer to God and an example of a good life.

A mother's strong prayer for her son and protection over him

“The will of the Lord sent you to me, my guardian angel, protector and trustee. Therefore, I appeal to you in difficult times in my prayer, so that you protect me from great trouble.

Those invested with earthly power oppress me, and I have no other defense than the heavenly power, which stands over us all and rules our world. Holy angel, protect me from oppression and insults from those who have risen above me. Protect me from their injustice, for for this reason I suffer innocently.

I forgive, as God taught, these people their sins against me, for the Lord has exalted those who were exalted above me and is testing me with this. All this is the will of God, but from everything that is beyond the will of God, save me, my guardian angel. What I ask of you in my prayer. Amen."

How are maternal prayers read?

As all believers know, if there is a strong desire or need to pray, there is no need to wait for a special day or look for some extraordinary place where a mother could make an appeal to God for the benefit of her son. Orthodox maternal prayer will be heard any day, at any time of the day. Some believe that this sacrament requires a “praying” place, that is, you must definitely go to a temple or church. But this is not a strict rule; the one who prays will be heard by the Almighty even when she turns to the Higher Powers, for example, from home or asks to help her son while walking down the street.

There are special rules only when reading a prayer for the journey; the mother pronounces a request to the Lord to save and preserve her child immediately before the departure of her son or daughter.

There is a certain sequence of actions in prayers, so, before starting to turn to God, you need to cross yourself three times and bow in bow. And then, read the psalm; here it is important not to forget to indicate the name of the child. This should be done by looking at church candles, which must burn near the icons of the Saints or in front of the face of God. At the end of the sacrament, you must make the sign of the cross three times.

Who do they pray to for the well-being of children?

Believers know a huge number of prayers and psalms, among which a large section of prayers for their son is clearly expressed. Most often, mothers read an appeal to the Mother of God, where they pray to the Mother of God to protect their children from sorrows and misfortunes, illnesses and other troubles. And, given the mother’s true faith in God, such a prayer is the strongest amulet for her children.

Try reading one of the powerful prayers given here and your situation will definitely improve!

Strong prayer for my son and for protection over him

“The will of the Lord sent you to me, my guardian angel, protector and trustee. Therefore, I appeal to you in difficult times in my prayer, so that you protect me from great trouble. Those invested with earthly power oppress me, and I have no other defense than the heavenly power, which stands over us all and rules our world.

All this is the will of God, but from everything that is beyond the will of God, save me, my guardian angel. I ask you about this in my prayer. Amen."

Who can you ask for help?

In the Orthodox faith there are a large number of Saints to whom prayers are addressed. But the most effective prayers are to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, the patron saint of children, the Mother of God, Matrona of Moscow.

Matronushka was a simple woman without eyes. She knew very well how people with physical disabilities suffer and understood women. The Lord did not give her children, but he gifted her with the ability to help people in difficult life situations.

In her prayers to God, Matrona prayed for healing, for help with material problems, for deliverance from alcoholism and drug addiction, and to send a long-awaited child. She could receive up to 40 people a day. She always gave instructions and advice. People thanked her, but she replied that the Lord helped, and she only asked earnestly.

For her virtue towards people, she was included in the category of Saints after death. People still call on her for help. These are women whose child or adult son fell ill and lost their way.

Prayer for my son and the protection of the Most Holy Theotokos over him

O Most Holy Lady Virgin Theotokos, save and preserve under Your shelter my children (names), all youths, young women and infants, baptized and nameless and carried in their mother’s womb.

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 an adult son and protection over him

O Most Holy Virgin, Mother of the Lord of the Highest Powers, Queen of Heaven and Earth, our city and country, our all-powerful Intercessor!

Accept this singing of praise and gratitude from us, Thy unworthy servants, and lift up our prayers to the Throne of God Thy Son,

may He be merciful to our untruths and add His grace to those who honor Your All-Honorable Name and worship Your miraculous image with faith and love.

We therefore pray to You and to You, as the Almighty Helper, we commit ourselves and each other and our whole life, now and ever, and forever and ever.

Amen.

Joining the Church - caring for children

Children, no less than adults, need God's grace. It is necessary to introduce a child to the Church from childhood. This means participating in the Sacrament of Communion, studying the Law of God, and introducing children to the lives of the saints. The spiritual development of a child is just as important as the physical. The Lord is the source of our life, without Him a person cannot live well. It is better to start learning the holy Truths at an early age. At this time, the soul is not yet stained by passions and sins. This way you can protect your child from mistakes in the future and raise a good person.

This is what holy righteous John of Kronstadt says about the Church:

“In the Church are all our sweet hopes and aspirations, our peace, our joy, together with purification and sanctification. Everything that is best, most sublime, most precious, holy, wise - all this lies only in the Church. The Church is the heaven on earth.”

The Holy Apostle Paul in his epistles gives instructions about the relationship between parents and children:

“Children, obey your parents in the Lord, for this is what justice requires. Honor your father and mother, this is the first commandment with a promise: that it may be good for you, and that you may live long on earth. And you, fathers, do not provoke your children to anger, but bring them up in the discipline and admonition of the Lord.” (Eph. 6:1–4).

Orthodox prayers for a son and protection over him

O venerable and God-bearing Father Alexander!

Ask us everything that is useful for this temporary life, and even more necessary for our eternal salvation.

Be to us, the servants of God (names), miracle-working saint, a quick helper in every sorrow and situation.

Most of all, at the hour of our death, a merciful intercessor appeared to us, so that we may not be betrayed in the ordeals of the air to the power of the evil world ruler, but may we be honored with a stumbling-free ascension into the Kingdom of Heaven.

Hey, Father, our dear prayer book!

Do not disgrace our hope, do not despise our humble prayers, but always intercede for us before the throne of the Life-Giving Trinity, so that together with you and with all the saints, even if we are unworthy, we may be worthy to glorify in the villages of paradise the greatness, grace and mercy of the One God in the Trinity, Father and Son and Holy Spirit, forever and ever.

O all-validated, holy great martyr and wonderworker George!

Look upon us with your quick help, and beg God, the Lover of Mankind, not to judge us, sinners, according to our iniquities, but to deal with us according to His great mercy.

Hear us, passion-bearing George of Christ, and pray for us unceasingly to the Trinitarian Lord of all God, that by His grace and love for mankind,

With your help and intercession we will find mercy, together with the angels and archangels and all the saints, at the right hand of the Just Judge, and I will glorify Him with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever and ever.

Amen
