Words of prayer addressed to the Queen of Heaven have great power precisely because such a prayer is an appeal to the mother, the Mother of God.

The Virgin Mary is the most revered person, the greatest of Christian saints, because she is the earthly mother of Jesus Christ - the Son of God. According to legend, Mary (the only woman mentioned in the Koran) gave birth to her child Jesus in a miraculous way - being virginally pure. People believe that conception came from the Holy Spirit.

As the mother of the Son of God, the Mother of God is prayed for children:

about children's health;
about their prosperous life;
about giving children the grace of the Lord;
about successful studies, etc.

The incredible power of maternal prayer helps every person throughout their life. Being a mother is a great happiness, but also hard work. That is why the prayers of mothers for children occupy a special position in the Orthodox church world.

A Christian prayer for a son, heard from the lips of a mother, always helps to fulfill what is asked for.

A mother, starting from the day of birth of her child, lives with his joys and sorrows, his smiles and tears, his breath. There is no more selfless and brighter love than the love of a mother for her child. That is why there are whole legends about the great power of mother’s prayer for children. The Lord Almighty did not leave a single prayer for help uttered by the mother without his participation.

Prayers for a son date back to ancient times, they were very widely used during wars between states, when a mother sent her son to war, she always asked the Lord for a good share for her boy and a quick return.

“Sweet Jesus, God of my heart! You gave me children according to the flesh, they are Yours according to the soul; You redeemed both my soul and theirs with your priceless blood; For the sake of Your Divine blood, I beg You, my sweetest Savior, with Your grace touch the hearts of my children (names) and my godchildren (names), protect them with Your Divine fear; keep them from bad inclinations and habits, guide them to the bright path of life, truth and goodness.
Decorate their lives with everything good and saving, arrange their fate as You yourself want and save their souls with their own destinies! Lord, God of our Fathers! Give to my children (names) and godchildren (names) a right heart to keep Your commandments, Your revelations and Your statutes. And do it all! Amen".

Patron saints of children

To exalt sacred words, you can use appeals to various saints. There is a method in which texts created directly by the mother are used. If they are sincere, they will certainly be more effective than canonical texts, but they should only be spoken with the desire to help.

Priests advise young mothers to pray to all saints while the child is still in the embryonic stage. A fetus, just like a born baby, needs protection. Any child should receive protection through the prayers of the mother. This must be done, because children are not yet able to ask the Lord for help themselves.

Offering prayer words for a small child must be done regularly. You can even ask for help from higher powers several times a day. In difficult times you can turn to 6 saints.

Jesus Christ.
Lord God.
Mother of God.
Saint Nicholas the Pleasant.
Hieromartyr Cyprian.
Holy Youths in Ephesus.

Each of these prayers has its own effect, which helps children in a variety of life situations.

Prayer for a daughter - a mother’s prayer with special power

There are even more appeals to the Almighty about the well-being of daughters than about sons. My daughter is my mother’s tender flower. Mothers treat the birth and upbringing of daughters with special trepidation, because a son is a protector, a man, and a daughter herself requires protection.

A very pressing topic for parents is their daughter’s marriage. That is why, for a long time, mothers turned to the Lord asking for a happy life for their child, for well-being in the future family, for mutual understanding between loving hearts.

A special place among petitions for a daughter is occupied by a prayer for pregnancy. They say that when a girl cannot get pregnant, it is very important that her mother:

She asked the holy images in the Orthodox Christian church for pregnancy and easy childbirth.
She lit a candle for the health of her daughter, for the well-being of her family and for the birth of a child, took holy water from the church, and the daughter must drink this water and, in turn, light a candle for the health of her mother. The Lord hears such appeals and in most cases helps.
A girl becomes a mother and already worries about her child, as her mother worried about her: she asks for his health, well-being, for the indulgence of God’s grace, for successful studies, for marriage and the birth of children.

This cycle accompanies everyone throughout their lives.

Appeals to the Mother of God

Traditionally, people turn to the Mother of God to help a daughter or niece, but it is not a rare situation when the Mother of God helps a male child. Mothers can ask for intercession for both their son and daughter. The Virgin Mary has long been the patroness of women and children, so you can ask her for deliverance from illnesses or for happiness. Every mother has a special bond between her and her child. This is explained by the fact that she carries it under her heart for 9 months and has a little more contact with the baby than other people.

The mother has great power over the child. This is that the words she says to the baby play a huge role. It is necessary to use this connection only for the well-being of the child. If you rashly say something bad for your baby, his defenses may weaken. A careless word thrown leads to illness and misfortune in a child.

When praying to the Mother of God, you must have pure thoughts and clear feelings. To do this you need to undergo cleansing. It is required to constantly monitor one's life; the mother must set only a positive example for the child. You need to give up bad habits and junk food - a pure soul cannot live in a body that is polluted. You need to live strictly following God's commandments. This needs to be taught to the child.

For a daughter, the maternal, most powerful prayer to the Mother of God is read in these words:

It is better to read this text daily. With its help, you can protect your daughter from misfortune and attract good luck and happiness to her.

To turn to the Mother of God and receive help, you must adhere to certain rules.

Orthodox prayer to the Virgin Mary usually begins very early. It's worth waking up well before dawn to have time to prepare. A blessing from the Most Holy Mother of God can only be received if a woman deserves it.
You need to wash your face with cool water or take a shower. You should not pray without cleansing your body after sleep. At night, dark forces are activated - you shouldn’t expect anything good from them, so a shower before prayer is a sure way to wash away negative energy.
After this, it is recommended to wear comfortable and comfortable clothes. It is important that it is clean and well-groomed. Modest attire is what is required when praying.
You need to make sure that none of your relatives or close people distract you from praying for your daughter or son. This may weaken the sacred text and the blessing will come later. To prevent this, you need to retire to a separate room with icons and candles, where no one can disturb you.
Before you start asking the Most Holy Theotokos, you need to make sure that there is a cross on your body, which must be consecrated in the temple. It is worth taking care that your child has it. Prayer during which the mother holds the cross works miracles.
You need to light a candle in front of the face of the Blessed Virgin Mary. Prayer words for her are said while looking at the flame. There is no need to peer into the face - this is a manifestation of disrespect for the Virgin Mary. It is advisable not to take your eyes off the candle while reading. Legends say that fire has a powerful effect - its ability includes the absorption of negative energy.

A mother's prayer for her child

After all, being a mother means not only giving birth and raising a child, but also doing everything, making every possible effort so that his life turns out in the best possible way, and prayer in this difficult task is the best helper.

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Thy Most Pure Mother, hear me, Thy sinful and unworthy servant (name). Lord, in the mercy of Thy power, my child (name), have mercy and save him for Thy name’s sake.
Lord, forgive him all the sins, voluntary and involuntary, committed by him before You.

Lord, bless him in the house, near the house , in the field, at work and on the road, and in every place of Your possession.

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".

The meaning of the Seven Arrow Icon

The seven-shot icon is also called “Softening Evil Hearts.” This is a kind of image for the feast of the meeting, which means the meeting of the Lord as set out in the Gospel. The translator into Greek, Simeon, was translating the prophet’s writings, and doubted the translation; he wrote “woman” and not “virgin”, because a virgin cannot conceive a child. An angel appeared to him and said that the correct spelling was “virgin” and he would witness this miracle.

Mother Theotokos brought little Jesus to Jerusalem, where Simeon met them. Then he uttered a prophecy about the birth of Christ and that swords would pierce his mother’s soul. Swords are the symbolic suffering of the Mother of God. Seven swords are fullness and completeness, like seven sins. Of course, this is a legend, but it makes sense, because it is not only the pain and torment of a mother for her son, but also the sins of humanity, for which he was crucified on the cross.

It is difficult to say where this icon came from, but according to legend, one sick man had a dream in which he had to pick up the icon of the Mother of God from the city church in the bell tower. All the church ministers knew that there was no image there. However, the man insisted and was allowed to rise. When he went upstairs, he saw that one of the planks of the stairs was an icon. She was cleaned and served, and the peasant has since stopped limping. Legends began to circulate about the image of the Mother of God, that she works miracles.

Text of the prayer to the icon of the Seven Shot Mother of God for protection:

“Oh, much-suffered Mother of God, surpassing all the daughters of the earth in your purity and your sufferings that you endured on earth! Accept our sorrowful prayers and keep us under the protection of your mercy. Because we have no other refuge and such an ardent protector as you - we don’t know. You have boldness in prayers to the one born by you, so help and save us with your prayers, so that we can freely reach the kingdom of heaven and there, with all the saints, sing the praises of the one Trinity - God, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen!"

The prayer can be for any reason. But a general concept has emerged that one must ask for peace and protection from the anger, hatred and wrath of other people. Strict teachers and hard-hearted bosses bring excitement, and with all these thoughts you can turn to the face of the Mother of God. How and how much to pray is not important. You can read the text from the prayer book, or you can ask in your own words. The main thing is sincerity.

There are certain rules for holding an icon:

If these are problems at work, then mark the image to the one who does nasty things.
At home, the image of the Mother of God is placed above the threshold, then bad people, entering the house, will be afraid to sin.
It is advisable to pray daily at the holy face of the Mother of God with a request to protect the house from evil people and the house from unwanted guests.

Advice for Mothers on Prayer Practice

It is necessary to behave correctly during prayer. Thanks to this, the son or daughter will form an idea of Christianity and the Orthodox Church:

on the child’s birthday, you need to thank the Lord, ask to grant the baby a happy life and health;
when reading prayer words it is necessary to be baptized;
when the baby grows up, he should be taken to the temple, where he will get an idea of performing rituals, turning to God, praying, and the mother should tell her child a lot about Orthodoxy in order to instill in him love for the Almighty from an early age;
Every day it is enough to say prayer words 1-3 times, but if you need to ask for healing of a child, help in choosing a companion, marriage, employment, problems, you need to read the prayer more: 6, 9, 12, 40 or 150 times;
every day the mother gives a blessing to the child: he must be baptized, then read a short prayer addressed to the Guardian Angel, asking for protection throughout the coming day.
