A few short prayers for my son
To pray for the well-being and protection of your son, it is not at all necessary to use complex and long prayers. There are many short texts that act no worse than detailed Orthodox prayers. Some of them are listed below - they also have no restrictions on the frequency of use.
Prayer if a son leaves his father's house
Children sooner or later grow up and fly away from the safe and cozy parental nest. The prayer, the text of which is below, can be used by a mother when her son leaves to study in another city and begins to build his life separately from his parents. It is recommended to say the words twice a day - morning and evening.
“Lord, my son is in your mercy, for his sins, save him from temptations and guide him on the true path.”
Prayer for my son, helping him find true friends
Making new acquaintances for a child is always an exciting process for parents. This prayer helps the son to acquire only true friends, protects him from negative influences and traitors. Text:
“Lord God, teach my son to understand people. Give him wisdom to recognize people who are pure in their thoughts. Bring my son to people who will help him follow the true path and serve the Lord God.”
Prayer for the family happiness of an adult son
When a young man realizes that he is ready to start his own family, he rarely listens to his parents when choosing a life partner. So that God sends a good and faithful girl to marry your son, read this prayer every day before going to bed:
“Lord, help my son find a faithful companion who honors God and her husband. Bless God's servant (son's name) for a happy family life and for further childbearing. Amen(3 times) !”
Prayer for my son, helping him find his life purpose
A correctly chosen profession, a job you enjoy, is the key to the well-being and happiness of any person. To help your son with this, use the following prayer:
“Lord, I ask you: give God’s servant (son's name) a clear understanding of his purpose. Open his eyes to life, let him go through life only his own way. Amen!"
Prayer to protect your son from adversity
“Lord Almighty! Grant my son God's grace. Let all adversity pass him by.”
Prayer for a prosperous life for my son
“Lord, keep my son on the road. May evil fate not follow him, may love and happiness accompany him throughout life. Amen!"
Any prayer is, first of all, a sincere appeal to God and the forces of light, with the best intentions. Unfortunately, many parents, when praying for their children, make a mistake and ask for what they themselves consider right for their child, i.e. they simply proceed from their own selfish aspirations. Meanwhile, a child is a person with his own soul, and his fate is determined by God. His best protection is to entrust this soul to the Lord and allow him to give your child what his own destiny has in store for him.
The main motive for parents to use prayer for their son should be a sincere wish for the maximum good for their child. First of all, you need to pray for the soul of your child, for its development and improvement. Only then will higher powers lead him along the bright path of fate and protect him along this path. You need to ask the Lord that your son grows up to be a worthy person, and only then can you pray for health, happiness, wealth and other blessings of life.
It is not necessary to look for ready-made texts of prayers - parental prayer in your own words, sincere and coming from the heart, works no worse. During the process of prayer, you need to think about your child. You cannot turn to prayer out of some of your own feelings, emotions and intentions (pain, fear, desire, etc.) Ask the Lord for strong patrons to protect your son (Guardian Angels), ask for energetic and spiritual protection (especially in difficult situations) .
Wish your child well, development and growth - personal, spiritual, professional, etc. This way, you can set the right direction in his life, lay a solid foundation, and your son can create everything else on his own, with his own hands. And you will definitely be filled with pride for him!

When starting prayer work, every prayer worker dreams of an instant result. But this happens very rarely. The Lord knows everything about the need of each person and decides what he really needs.
Many people who are weak in faith think that the Creator simply does not hear their prayers. But this is far from true. An ordinary layman is not able to fully understand and correctly interpret the situation that developed at a certain time.
Blessed Xenia of Petersburg
Advice! You cannot grumble against God, this is a huge sin. He will give what is asked only when He Himself considers it necessary to do so. Therefore, without grumbling, pray and everyone will be rewarded according to their faith.
In the family, the mother and father must, by their own example, instill in the child faith and love for Christ. Parents are obliged to show their children what is truth and what is sin. Children should also learn prayer from their parents.
It seems that there is nothing stronger than the love and care of a mother for her children. This is true, but maternal prayer has even greater power, into which a woman invests her energy and hopes for the help of Higher powers in protecting and guiding her daughter or son on the true path at any age.
Why does mom’s prayer work miracles where it seems impossible? What is stronger - turning to the Almighty and the Saints in your own words or reading certain prayers compiled in ancient times by clergy? Details in the article.
Icon "The First Steps of Jesus Christ".The power of a mother's prayer
Every person has a story about an event that had a positive outcome thanks to a mother’s prayer. The fact is that it is the woman who carried the child under her heart who feels it more strongly than anyone else, even the father.
During pregnancy, not only a genetic but also an energetic connection is formed between mother and baby. Even from a distance, a true mother feels excitement if something good or bad happens to the child. Anxiety is present most often.
The first thing a woman does at this moment is to begin to pray and send positive thoughts and blessings to her child.
A mother's care for her children begins even before they are born. When it becomes known about conception, the pregnant woman turns to the Mother of God or the Almighty so that the baby is healthy and the birth takes place without complications. Prayer protection accompanies the baby until he grows up. But even after creating your own family and having children, your mother’s blessing always accompanies your son or daughter, even those living outside their father’s house.
Of course, modern girls turn to the saints with prayer for their children when serious problems arise:
- with health,
- with upbringing
- with studies,
- with personal life.
Even in this case, God hears a sincere prayer and helps those who truly believe in his love and humbly wait for help. There are often cases when a mother's prayer saved a child from an incurable disease, and the mortal danger was avoided.
How to properly pray to a mother for her children
- A prayer for children can be said by the mother at any time when the soul requests it.
At this moment, the woman turns to God or the Mother of God in her own words or by reading certain prayers, reading them from the Prayer Book or from memory.
- The prayer is performed in front of the home iconostasis, an image of a specific saint, or mentally addressing the Higher powers.
In more difficult life circumstances, a woman should visit the temple and read a prayer for children in front of the image of the saint to whom the mother’s request is addressed.
- Only a mother’s prayer, coming from the bottom of her heart and with true faith in the help of this prayer, receives a positive result.
If, at the moment of praying for the well-being and health of the children, the mother utters words without putting her soul into them, then you should not hope for a miracle.
- On any occasion, a prayer for a child should be said in the morning so that God’s help will accompany him throughout the day.
The mother’s evening prayer will protect the child from nightmares and ensure a restful sleep or a successful journey if the son or daughter is away, at night work, or away from home.
The more often a mother prays, the stronger the child’s protection from various troubles, diseases, and wrong actions.
In addition to their own prayer for the well-being and health of their children, mothers and fathers should instill in their children the culture of the Orthodox faith by their example. Children need to be brought to church for services, to receive communion, and explained about faith and love for God.
For prayer to have special power, mom and dad must follow church rules, attend services, confess and receive communion.
Parental blessing is of particular importance for children. When escorting a child from home on any journey, you need to give him your blessing, cross him and read a prayer so that a guardian angel or heavenly patron will protect him in any place:
Prayer for children to the Guardian Angel
Holy Guardian Angel of my child (name), cover him with your cover from the arrows of the demon, from the eyes of the seducer, and keep his heart in angelic purity. Amen.
Patron saints of children
In most cases, mothers pray to the Mother of God for their children, who they consider their intercessor, because she had to go through a difficult path and not lose faith in God.
Icon of the Mother of God Feodorovskaya For example, the image of the Feodorovskaya Icon of the Mother of God is revered as the patroness of brides, family well-being, the birth of children in childless couples, and helps in difficult childbirths.
There are a large number of images of the Mother of God, which women turn to in case of illness, disobedience of children, reluctance to study, or contact with bad company:
Prayer for children to the Blessed Virgin Mary
O Most Holy Lady Virgin Theotokos, save and preserve under Your roof my children (names), all youths, young women and infants, baptized and nameless and carried in their mother’s womb. Cover them with the robe of Your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to their parents, beseech my Lord and Your Son to grant them what is useful for their salvation. I entrust them to Your maternal supervision, for You are the Divine Cover of Your servants.
Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker If the child is on the way, the mother’s prayer is addressed to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, who is the patron saint of travelers. Nicholas the Wonderworker also helps in other life situations if the mother turns to him with zeal, humility and all her soul:
Prayer for children to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker
O our good shepherd and God-wise mentor, Saint Nicholas of Christ! Hear us sinners (names), praying to you and calling for your speedy intercession: see us weak, caught from everywhere, deprived of every good and our minds darkened by cowardice data. Try, O saint of God, not to leave us in sinful captivity, so that we may not joyfully be our enemies and not die in our evil deeds. Pray for us, unworthy of our Creator and Master, to whom you stand with the disembodied faces: be merciful to us in this life and in the future, so that He will not reward us with money our scrap and the uncleanness of our hearts, but according to His goodness He will repay us . We trust in your intercession, we boast of your intercession, we call upon your intercession for help, and to your most holy image we ask for help: deliver us, saint of Christ, from evil coming upon us, so that for the sake of your holy prayers the attack will not come upon us and we will not be desecrated in the abyss of sin and in the mud of our passions. Pray to Saint Nicholas of Christ, Christ our God, that he may grant us a peaceful life and remission of sins, salvation and great mercy for our souls, now and ever and unto the ages of ages.
An effective way is to appeal to the heavenly patron after whom the child was named at birth or baptism. In this case, you need to read a prayer in front of the icon of a holy house or in a church, if its image is in the nearest church.
Ksenia Petersburgskaya
Holy Blessed Xenia One of the patroness of mothers and children is Saint Xenia of St. Petersburg, who is known for her wanderings around the world after the death of her husband and for her good deeds for people who turn to her for help.
