A mother's prayer for children is a very strong protection
Reliable protection for a child at any age is maternal prayer. And this is quite understandable, because a woman is connected through energy channels with the child from the moment the baby is born, and this connection lasts for life.
Mother's prayer for the health of the child
A mother's prayer for the health of the child allows the baby to grow healthy and not get sick. It awakens the natural defenses in the body, so the child endures any illness with ease without any complications. A mother's prayer always comes from the depths of the heart and has no boundaries, so it will definitely be heard.
The most powerful prayer is considered to be for the health of the child, addressed to the Most Holy Theotokos.
Its text might sound like this:
“Oh, Most Holy Theotokos, Mother of God, who gave the world our Savior Jesus Christ, hear your mother’s prayer. I turn to you, servant of God (proper name), asking you to cover my child with your protective cover and grant him health and a happy life. You experienced the happiness of motherhood and experienced that terrible sorrow when you saw your Son crucified on the cross, when he suffered punishment for all the sins of mankind and through his death gave hope for eternal life. Save and have mercy on my child. Beg our Lord for forgiveness for my voluntary and involuntary sins, so that my child does not have to pay for them with his health. I will thank you in my prayers for the rest of my life. I will humbly accept and submit to the will of the Lord Most High and All-Just. Amen".
Prayer for the child’s recovery (when the child is sick, before surgery)
When a child is sick, life becomes bleak and everything around is painted in gray tones. Parents often lose their composure and cannot make adequate decisions. In difficult situations, maternal prayer allows the mother to calm down and begin to properly treat the child. By praying at the bedside of a sick child, a woman gains confidence in the prognosis and her positive attitude is passed on to the baby, which speeds up his recovery.
When a child is seriously ill, you need to turn to the Lord God in prayer.
A prayer request might sound like this:
“Lord Almighty, All-Merciful and All-Merciful, I ask you to bestow your mercy on my child, the servant of God (proper name). He is now seriously ill and really needs Your help and protection. Keep him under your cover and grant him strength to fight the disease. Take all evil and enemies away from him, give humility and tenderness to the little heart. I apologize for all the sins I have committed, voluntary and involuntary, God forbid my child to be punished for them. Accept my sincere repentance for my sins. Lord, have pity on my child and grant him a speedy recovery. Enlighten, Merciful Lord, the mind of my baby and direct him to the true path, teach him to follow Your commandments and protect him in the future from devilish temptations. I pray for your goodness and glorify You in my prayers. Amen".
Prayer from the evil eye of a child
If you suspect that your child has been exposed to the evil eye, you can remove it with the help of a special prayer. You should speak holy water with prayer words, and then wash the child with it or add it to the bath.
You should know that only a mother can pronounce prayer words; they sound as follows:
“In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. I, the servant of God (proper name), say a strong prayer and turn to the Lord God. I ask You, Almighty Creator and Ruler of this world, to protect my child, the servant of God (child’s name) from unclean witchcraft. Drive away the evil spirit from him, do not let him harm my child. Protect my child from illnesses and illnesses, remove fears and resentments from his soul, give him peace and joy. May my baby, with God's help, grow up healthy and strong. Glory to You Lord. Amen".
Prayer for fear in a child
The evil eye in young children manifests itself as fear. In this case, children begin to behave restlessly, scream and act up a lot, and also have problems sleeping. A special maternal prayer will help you get rid of fear.
Since fear is essentially an evil eye, holy water is charmed with prayer, which is used as in the previous case.
The text of the prayer against the fear of a small child may sound like this:
“Lord God, help me, the servant of God (proper name), to expel the infantile fear from the little body of my child by the power of maternal prayer. I command, come out of the enemy Satan, the damned fear from your arms, from your legs, from your head, from your tummy. You will not walk on my child’s body, you will not break his veins and bones. You will go forever to the swampy swamps, to low places where people don’t walk and the sun doesn’t rise. With the help of Almighty Jesus Christ, I send you there forever and seal you with a strong mother’s word. Amen".
Why does it work?
Parents are united with the child by an inextricable bond. It is especially strong in the baby and mother, because it is the woman who bears the fetus within herself for 9 months. And although after childbirth the mother is no longer physically connected to the baby, the “thread” is still strong and continues to influence the two on an energetic level.

Any thought of the parent affects the child, so it is extremely important not to allow any negative emotions. What is said in the hearts is harmless: “Let it be empty for you!” may negatively affect the fate of a son or daughter. You cannot curse them, predict a bad fate for them, or call them names. Mother's prayer is necessary for normal human development.
Prayer to the Mother of God for the gift of children
The Mother of God’s prayer for the gift of children helped many women find full-fledged female family happiness. Sincere faith helped miracles happen even in cases where traditional medicine retreated due to the fact that a disappointing diagnosis was made - infertility.
Before reading the prayer for the gift of children, you should visit the temple, where you will confess and receive communion. This will clear you of negativity. Prayer must be offered in a good mood, hatred and malice must be removed from the soul. It is necessary to mentally ask for protection from those whom you have voluntarily or unwittingly offended. It is also very important to remove enmity, anger and hatred from your own soul. To offer prayer, you need to retire and completely renounce the bustle of the world.
Prayer for conceiving a child
A prayer appeal to the Most Holy Theotokos may sound like this:
“Oh, Most Holy Virgin Mary, Mother of our Lord, you are our prompt intercessor in our troubles and sorrow. You support everyone who comes running to you with sincere faith. Turn your gaze to me, a sinner praying near your holy image, and hear my prayer. Bring my heartfelt prayer for help to Your Son Jesus Christ. Beg him not to punish me for my voluntary and involuntary sins, ask him to act not according to my iniquities, but according to his mercy. Ask him to clear my mind and heal my spiritual wounds. May he illuminate my soul, darkened by grief, with his Divine light and give me hope for the Kingdom of Heaven. Oh, Blessed Mother of God, you have known the happiness of motherhood and know all the feelings associated with it. So help me, the servant of God (proper name), have the opportunity to experience them during my lifetime. I turn to you with sincere faith in your mercy, do not despise my prayer, you are my only salvation and hope. Do not let me ruin my soul in the abyss of my sins. I praise and thank the Lord Almighty for allowing me to know the happiness of marriage. So, O Most Holy Theotokos, with your prayers to your Son Jesus, sent me, a sinner and helpless, to know the happiness of motherhood. May the Lord grant me the fruit of my womb, so that I may raise my child in the fear of God and in respect for my parents. Replace, Most Holy Theotokos, the sorrow in my soul with joy. I praise your goodness and thank the Lord for the mercies bestowed upon us sinners, I accept the will of God and humbly pray. Amen".
Prayer to get pregnant and give birth to a healthy baby
There is another powerful prayer - an appeal to the Most Holy Theotokos. With its help, women ask for pregnancy and the birth of a healthy child.
The prayer text reads as follows:
“Virgin Mary, Most Holy Theotokos, rejoice! The Lord is with you! You are blessed among wives and blessed is the fruit of your womb, for you have given birth to the savior of the human race. Queen of Heaven, my Most Blessed One, my only hope, Mother of God, refuge of the sorrowing, patroness of the offended. Hear my prayer and help me get rid of mental grief. Help me get pregnant and give birth to a healthy child, ask the Lord for forgiveness of my voluntary or involuntary sins. Fill my soul with the joy of motherhood, for there is nowhere I can expect help from except from you. I glorify your mercies in my prayers and accept the will of God. Amen".
Prayer of a pregnant woman to save the child
If a woman is plagued by problems in the area of childbirth, then she should turn to the Most Holy Theotokos in prayer.
The prayer appeal sounds like this:
“Oh, Most Holy Lady of Heaven, Virgin Mary, Most Holy Theotokos, save and preserve under your reliable protective roof all the infants, baptized and unnamed, as well as those in the womb. Help me, Holy Mother of God, to know the happiness of motherhood and grant me the salvation of my soul, do not let me get bogged down in my sins. Ask forgiveness of my known and unknown sins for me from your Son, the Great Lover of Mankind, Jesus Christ. Let him not punish me according to my iniquities, but judge me according to his mercy. Heal my spiritual wounds, Most Holy Theotokos, do not let my children suffer. I entrust my unborn child to the Lord God and ask for your protection, Most Holy Theotokos. I praise the goodness and mercy of Heaven. Amen".
Who to pray for a child
The most powerful prayer for children is said to the Mother of God, Jesus Christ and God. Requests to the Holy Trinity, the guardian angels, are effective. Parents often ask the holy martyrs for health and long life for their children. Sacred texts spoken in front of icons have special power.
The Mother of God is an intercessor before God. Young mothers should turn to her for help. Nicholas the Wonderworker will always hear and help. The Orthodox world believes that he is the protector of children and will not leave newborns and older children in trouble. For him, all minors are equal, he is supportive, kind and peaceful.
It is worth praying for children not only in church, but also at home. Special icons with images of martyrs and saviors will bring harmony, tranquility to the house and will become a real amulet. Powerful icons: “Quick to Hear,” “Increasing Mind,” and “Education.”
A prayer for children and grandchildren, so that they study well, are not illiterate, and remain healthy, is said to the patron saints:
- Mitrofan of Voronezh;
- John of Kronstadt;
- Sergius of Radonezh and others.
Many priests note that help always comes from God. There is an opinion that the Mother of God, angels and saints do not perform miracles on their own, but through the Lord. Saints become supplicants before the Creator. They intercede before God for sinners and those who need the support of the Almighty.
For the prayer to work, it is necessary to choose a protector among the saints. Parents in each specific situation should pray to certain angels. Saint Mitrofan helps with his studies. He guides the child, reveals his abilities, improves his skills.
You should pray to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker when: there is no understanding with the child, there are frequent scandals in the family, the baby is constantly sick, there is no rapprochement with the daughter or son. The miracle worker helps in many situations. It allows you to understand who is to blame in a given situation and find the strength to move on. Nikolai offers his intercession, relieves chronic diseases, and prevents the occurrence of complex diseases.
Nikolai will protect children from ill-wishers, evil looks and damage. It helps with the loss of a loved one, especially if the firstborn has died. The saint does not abandon his charges in difficult times. He will give advice in dreams, guide you on the true path, and help you find a good companion or companion.
The texts of prayers spoken by mother and father with good intentions will not go unheard either by the saints or by the Lord. Stepparents must definitely pray for their adopted children. Reading the Bible together will bring the child and caregivers closer together. There are no conflicts or scandals in believing families, because love, grace and understanding reign in them.
Orthodox prayers for the baptism of a child
Orthodox prayers are required to be read at the birth of a child. This is a great festive event, which is associated with the fact that ways for direct communication with God are opened for the child.
Prayer for parents
During the baptism of a child, parents must always read the well-known “Our Father” prayer. She will protect the baby from evil and other negativity and will lead his soul to the true path. In addition, on this Holy Day one should read a prayer to raise a child in a Christian spirit.
It sounds like this:
“I, servant of God (proper name), turn to You, our All-Merciful Lord. I thank You for the birth of my child and ask you to grant him baptism. Have mercy on my child and guide him on the right path. I humbly pray for my child and entrust him to Your care and protection. I ask You to put strong faith and strength into his soul in order to resist the temptations of the devil. Honor him with the honor of loving our Savior Jesus Christ very much. Guide, Lord, my child along the righteous path, fill his soul with love and goodness. Grant him spiritual and physical health. In the name of the Lord God, lead him to a quiet haven of life and give him hope for eternal life after death in the Kingdom of God. Amen".
Prayer for godparents
During baptism, godparents read the “Creed” prayer.
Its text in Russian is as follows:
“I sincerely and deeply believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, the Creator of everything visible and invisible in heaven and earth. I believe in the Son of God Jesus Christ, the only begotten, true God, born of true God. He became the Savior for us people and came down from heaven for our salvation. He took on flesh from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became a man. He was crucified by Pontius Pilate, endured terrible torment and was buried. But he rose again on the third day and ascended to Heaven. And he is there with his great glory to judge the living and the dead. There will be no end to his kingdom. I believe in the Holy Spirit, who gives life, who proceeds from the Father, who is connected with the Father and the Son, who is glorified in prayer, and who addresses people through the prophets. I believe in one, catholic and apostolic Church. I recognize only baptism for the forgiveness of sins. I look forward to the resurrection of the dead in the next century. Amen".
Prayers for infant illnesses
Of course, modern medicine works wonders, but every mother is afraid that her little child may get sick. In such cases, one should ask for protection from the martyr Paraskeva, who is called Friday.
This is a folk image that combines the Christian saint and the pagan goddess Mokosh, the Slavic patroness of women, marriage and childbirth.
Prayer 5
Oh, holy and blessed martyr of Christ Paraskeva, maiden beauty, praise of the martyrs, purity of image, magnanimous mirrors, wonder of the wise, guardian of the Christian faith, idolatry flattery to the accuser, champion of the Divine Gospel, zealot of the Lord’s commandments, vouchsafed to come to the haven of eternal rest and in the chamber of the Bridegroom your Christ God, brightly rejoicing, adorned with the extreme crown of virginity and martyrdom!
We pray to you, holy martyr, to be sorrowful for us to Christ God, whose most blessed sight will always rejoice. Pray to the All-Merciful One, Who opened the eyes of the blind with His word, that He may deliver us from the illness of our hair, both physical and mental; with your holy prayers, kindle the dark darkness that has come from our sins, ask the Father of Light for the light of grace for our souls and bodies; Enlighten us, darkened by sins, with the light of God’s grace, so that for the sake of your holy prayers sweet vision will be given to the dishonest. Oh, great servant of God!
O most courageous maiden! Oh, strong martyr Saint Paraskeva!
With your holy prayers, be a helper to us sinners, intercede and pray for the damned and extremely negligent sinners, hasten to help us, for we are extremely weak.
Pray to the Lord, pure maiden, pray to the Merciful, holy martyr, pray to your Bridegroom, immaculate bride of Christ, so that by your prayers, having escaped the darkness of sin, in the light of the true faith and divine deeds we will enter into the eternal light of the never-evening day, into the city of everlasting joy, in now you shine brightly with glory and endless joy, glorifying and singing with all the heavenly powers the Trisagion of the One Divinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Prayer for children to the Lord Jesus Christ and Nicholas the Wonderworker
While the child is growing up, it is imperative to pray for him. This will allow him to grow in a harmonious world. Most often, prayers are offered to the Savior Jesus Christ and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
Prayers for a difficult child
If a child has difficulty studying or problems arise with his upbringing, then you need to turn to Jesus Christ with the following prayer:
“Lord Jesus Christ, you are truly the Savior of all people. You entered into the hearts of the twelve apostles and shared your truths with us through your holy lips. Send the Holy Spirit, Jesus Christ, upon the child, my child, the servant of God (the name of the child, fill his heart with the truths of the Holy Scriptures. Help him learn to live according to the commandments of God and learn earthly truths. Amen."
Prayer for children on the road
You should definitely pray for a child who is going on the road. In this case, it is better to turn to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker in prayer. During his lifetime, he himself was a traveler, so he always responds to requests for help on the road.
The prayer text may sound like this:
“I turn to you, Saint Nicholas, with a sincere request, I, the Servant of God (proper name). Help, Great Wonderworker, my child on the road, protect him from all surprises and troubles on the road. Bless him on his long journey and protect him from all temptations, help him resist the devil’s temptations. Let my child reach his destination unharmed, protect him from any problems in a dense forest, in a swamp, in a fast river, in the endless sea. Protect him from unkind people and evil animals. With a mother’s word, I see off my child on the road and hope for Your support, Saint Nicholas. I will glorify all your good deeds in prayers until the end of my days. I completely trust the will of God. Amen".
Prayers for enlightenment and development of the mind, for help in studies
There are several effective prayers that can be combined with each other. You should definitely ask Sergius of Radonezh about this.
Prayer 7
