A mother’s prayer for her child has amazing power; it is always heard by the Lord. This effectiveness is explained simply - the mother is always sincere and pure in thoughts when it comes to children. And sincerity, the absence of guile and hidden thoughts, along with the power of faith, are the main thing in any prayer.
Who should I contact with such a prayer?
A mother's prayer for her child is traditionally offered to the Mother of God. They also pray to the saints - Tryphon, Nicholas, St. George the Victorious, Archangel Michael, Simeon the God-Receiver. Residents of the Northern capital often turn to Ksenia of St. Petersburg with such pleas, and in Moscow it is customary to ask Matronushka for help. Of course, they also pray to the Lord himself.
Which of the saints the mother’s prayer for her child will be addressed to is determined by life circumstances, that is, the essence of the request.

With the help of prayer to this saint, you can overcome any adversity in life, difficulties and troubles.
Simeon the God-Receiver instructs children on the true path, delivers them from sins and temptations, helps them in learning, finding work, and generally protects them in life. Saint Tryphon helps overcome illnesses; mothers whose children are in the hospital usually turn to him.
Of course, a mother’s prayer for her child is also addressed to the Guardian Angel. A person’s heavenly patron invisibly accompanies him throughout his life, from birth to the moment of death. As a rule, the Guardian Angel is addressed with daily prayer.
How to pray correctly?
There are no special requirements for maternal prayer, as for any other, in Orthodoxy. Traditionally, it is customary to pray in front of images, in a temple or at home. In the old days, before praying at home, they lit a lamp or candle. Of course, in church they also placed a candle in front of the image.
However, the only requirements for prayer are the presence of sincere faith in the power of the Lord, purity in thoughts and heart. Purity of thoughts should be understood not only as the absence of not entirely good or not very righteous intentions. A mother’s prayer for her child excludes such concepts from the very beginning. Purity of thoughts also means the absence of vain worries during prayer. That is, the mind must be cleared of thoughts about everyday worries. You shouldn't beg for help while thinking about what to buy for dinner. All thoughts during prayer should be directed to the Lord.
Is it possible to pray in your own words?
When thinking about how to pray correctly for their child, parents are usually interested in whether their request to the Lord can be expressed in their own words.
You can pray for the good of your children and ask the Lord for help for them in any way convenient for the believer. Some people need a sample prayer text, others easily formulate requests to the Lord on their own. The main thing in the text of the prayer is that its words do not distract the believer from the essence of the lesson. Accordingly, texts coming from the heart rather than memorized texts are more preferable.

Someone inexplicably felt the need to take certain actions. Someone was detained by some strange things, circumstances, and the person did not end up in the place where he was supposed to be. Moreover, if the person had arrived on time, he would have died. There are many such stories; they are usually classified as areas of the unknown, inexplicable, or are considered a manifestation of human intuition.
Meanwhile, intuition or unknown abilities of the brain have nothing to do with it. People are protected by a mother’s strong prayer for her child, said in front of the images of St. George the Victorious or Archangel Michael. Women whose children have gone to war or are engaged in activities that are dangerous to life and health traditionally pray in front of these images.
Example text for prayer:
“Saint George, conqueror of enemies and protector of the weak! I pray to you for my son (name). Grant him wisdom and strength, endow him with reason and deprive him of rage.

On prayers to the martyr Tryphon and Nicholas the Wonderworker
A mother’s prayer for her sick child is traditionally read before the image of the great martyr and sufferer Tryphon. However, it is customary to pray to the saint only in case of serious illnesses. You should not fall into despair and ask for help in front of the images if your baby has a cold or a scratch on his knee. In such situations, it is more advisable to go to the pharmacy or visit a pediatrician.
Example text for prayer:
“Tryphon, martyr and sufferer! I beg you for help. My child (name) is exhausted from a serious illness (medical history). The Lord is deaf to the efforts of the doctors, and the child is melting before our eyes. The Lord is punishing for my sins, beg and beg me to grant my child health. Don’t let me fall into despair, send a sign, holy martyr, and fill your heart with peace and faith, amen.”

About praying to the Lord
A mother’s prayer to the Lord for her child is traditionally read in front of the image of the Savior Not Made by Hands. Of course, this does not mean at all that one cannot turn to the Lord in front of another image of him or even without being in the temple at all. The Lord knows everything and hears every human breath. However, for such prayer, not only sincerity is important, but also absolute faith. Doubt and grumbling, driven into the depths of consciousness by an effort of will, will make prayer inaudible to the Lord.
Example text for prayer:
“Merciful Lord, Savior and protector of the human race! I’m not asking for myself, but for my child (name). Forgive and have mercy, Lord, do not leave me without your mercy. Do not allow them to sin, deliver them from the wiles of the devil, do not let them stumble and guide them on the right path. Grant health to the soul and body, give sharpness to the mind and kindness to the heart. God forbid, save and preserve. Amen".
Mothers are quite popular texts, because every woman who has given birth to a child sincerely worries about him and wishes him all the best. We'll look at a few different options, which can be used in various life situations. Remember - the greater your faith, the greater the power of your mother’s prayer.

Lord, in the mercy of Your power my child (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 plague 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 procreation. 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."
Orthodox prayer of a mother for her son
“Heavenly Father! Grant me the grace to take every possible care to tempt my children with my actions, but, constantly bearing in mind their behavior, to distract them from errors, correct their mistakes, curb their stubbornness and obstinacy, refrain from striving for vanity and frivolity, so that they do not get carried away by crazy thoughts; Let them not follow their own hearts; Let them not forget You and Your Law. May iniquity not destroy their mind and health, may sins not weaken their mental and physical strength. Righteous Judge, who punishes children for the sins of their parents to the third and fourth generation, turn away such punishment from my children, do not punish them for my sins, but sprinkle them with the dew of Your grace; let them advance in virtue and holiness; May they increase in Your favor and in the love of pious people.”
Such prayers should be read in a quiet environment at home or in church, preferably holding a lit church candle in your hands. Traditionally, prayers are offered at the icon of the Mother of God, who is considered the patroness of all mothers and their children. If a prayer is offered in the presence of a prayer, it is necessary to cross it after each reading.
