A very strong prayer for the well-being of my son. A mother's prayer for her son for good luck at work. Mother's prayers for her son for all occasions

The most powerful prayer is the one that comes from the depths of the heart, the one that is supported by the strongest power of love and a selfless, sincere desire to help another.

The standard for such a prayer can be a mother’s prayer.

Parents love their children not for their merits and deeds, they love them simply for what they are. Parents wish their children only the best, the good, and they wish it selflessly, from the depths of their souls. When a child is sick, the mother is also sick, but she is sicker - she is sick with all her soul. At such moments, the mother sincerely, with tears in her eyes, turns to the Almighty with a prayer, in the hope of a quick healing of her little one. It is in such moments that the full power of prayer, its power and goodness, is “revealed.” It is at such moments that miracles happen.

And believe me, these are not just beautiful words and strong epithets, this is the real truth, which I have felt more than once on myself and on my children. If they ask me: “Oleg, what are your earliest memories in your life?” - I will answer: “I, sick, with a fever, am hanging in my mother’s arms and dozing under a sincere prayer for my health.” It was my mother’s prayer that helped me avoid surgery (the doctors called it a miracle, but I know where it came from), it was she who helped me survive 13 pneumonias in early childhood and come home unharmed from the army. Time passes and my mother is no longer there, but her prayer still invisibly protects me and I myself, having matured considerably and aged a little, sincerely pray for the health of my baby, whom I love very much, whom I love for his smile, for his little fingers, for every hair of him - I love him deeply, to the point of pain in my heart, I love him for the fact that he simply exists in my life. And now he is better, his fever (sore throat) has subsided and he smiles in his sleep, but it couldn’t have been any other way, because a son miraculously appeared in our lives precisely because of our sincere prayer.

About the development of the mind in children and assistance in learning

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos before the icon of Her “Giver of Mind” or “Add of Mind”

O Most Holy Virgin!

You are the Bride of God the Father and the Mother of His Divine Son Jesus Christ!

You are the Queen of Angels and the salvation of people, the accuser of sinners and the punisher of apostates.

Have mercy on us too, who have gravely sinned and failed to fulfill the commandments of God, who have broken the vows of baptism and vows of monasticism and many others that we promised to fulfill.

When the Holy Spirit retreated from King Saul, then fear and despondency attacked him and the darkness of despair and a joyless state of soul tormented him. Now, for our sins, we have all lost the grace of the Holy Spirit.

The mind has become fussy with vanity of thoughts, oblivion about God has darkened our souls, and now all kinds of sadness, sorrow, illness, hatred, evil, enmity, vindictiveness, gloating and other sins oppress the heart. And, having no joy and consolation, we call to You, Mother of our God Jesus Christ, and beg Your Son to forgive us all our sins and send the Comforter Spirit to us, as He sent Him to the apostles, so that, comforted and enlightened by Him, we will sing a song of thanks to You : Rejoice, Holy Mother of God, who has added wisdom to our salvation.

Prayer 3

O heavenly citizen of Jerusalem, Reverend Father Sergius!

Look upon us graciously and lead those who are devoted to the earth to the heights of heaven.

You are a mountain in Heaven; We are on earth, below, removed from you, not only by place, but by our sins and iniquities; but to you, as our kin, we resort and cry: teach us to walk in your way, enlighten us and guide us. It is characteristic of you, Our Father, to be compassionate and to love mankind: living on earth, you should not only care about your own salvation, but also about all those who come to you. Your instructions were the reed of a scribe, a cursive writer, inscribing the verbs of life on everyone’s heart. You did not only heal bodily illnesses, but more than spiritual ones, an elegant physician appeared, and your whole holy life was a mirror of all virtues. Even though you were so holy, more holy than God, on earth: how much more are you now in Heaven! Today you stand before the Throne of the Unapproachable Light, and in it, like in a mirror, see all our needs and petitions; You are together with the Angels, rejoicing over the one sinner who repents. And God’s love for mankind is inexhaustible, and your boldness towards Him is great: do not stop crying to the Lord for us.

Through your intercession, ask our All-Merciful God for the peace of His Church, under the sign of the militant Cross, agreement in faith and unity of wisdom, destruction of vanity and schism, affirmation in good deeds, healing for the sick, consolation for the sad, intercession for the offended, help for the needy.

Do not disgrace us, who come to you with faith. Even though you are unworthy of such a father and intercessor, you, an imitator of God’s love for mankind, made us worthy by turning from evil deeds to good living. All God-enlightened Russia, filled with your miracles and blessed by your mercies, confesses you to be their patron and intercessor.

Show your ancient mercies, and those whom you helped your father, do not reject us, their children, who are marching towards you in their footsteps. We believe that you are present with us in spirit. Where the Lord is, as His word teaches us, there His servant will be. You are a faithful servant of the Lord, and I exist everywhere with God, you are in Him, and He is in you, and moreover, you are with us in body. Behold your incorruptible and life-giving relics, like a priceless treasure, may God grant us miracles. Before them, as I live for you, we fall down and pray: accept our prayers and offer them on the altar of God’s mercy, so that we may receive grace from you and timely help in our needs.

Strengthen us, the faint-hearted, and confirm us in the faith, so that we undoubtedly hope to receive all the good things from the mercy of the Master through your prayers. Do not cease to rule your spiritual flock, gathered by you, with the rod of spiritual wisdom: help those who struggle, raise up the weakened, hasten to bear the yoke of Christ in complacency and patience, and guide us all in peace and repentance, end our lives and settle with hope in the blessed bosom of Abraham, where you now rest joyfully after your labors and struggles, glorifying with all the saints God, glorified in the Trinity, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Prayer 4

O venerable and God-bearing Father Sergius!

Look upon us (names) mercifully and, those who are devoted to the earth, lead us to the heights of heaven. Strengthen our cowardice and confirm us in faith, so that we undoubtedly hope to receive all the good things from the mercy of the Lord God through your prayers. By your intercession, ask for every gift that is useful to everyone and for everyone, and through your prayers that help us, grant us all, on the day of the Last Judgment, to be delivered from the last part, and the right hand of the country to be partakers of life and to hear the blessed voice of the Lord Christ: come, blessed of My Father, inherit the Kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world . Amen.

Accept, Lady Theotokos, the tearful prayers of Your servants who flow to You. We see You on the holy icon, carrying in your arms and feeding with milk Your Son and our God, the Lord Jesus Christ.

With the same warmth falling upon Thy whole-bearing image and tenderly kissing this, we pray to Thee, all-merciful Lady: we, sinners, condemned to give birth to sickness and to nourish our children in sorrow, mercifully spare and compassionately intercede, but our babies, who also gave birth to them, from the grave deliver from illness and bitter sorrow.

Grant them health and prosperity, and their nourishment will increase in strength, and those who feed them will be filled with joy and consolation, for even now, through Your intercession from the mouth of a baby and those who piss, the Lord will bring His praise.

Have mercy on the mother of the sons of men and on Your weak people: quickly heal the illnesses that befall us, quench the sorrows and sorrows that are upon us, and do not despise the tears and sighings of Your servants.

GOD BLESS OUR CHILDREN!

I would be glad if you help develop the site by clicking on the buttons below :) Thank you!

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.

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 unusual 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!

In addition, it is customary to pray to the Lord God when the child has a long journey ahead.

Prayer for drunkenness

The suffering of a mother who realizes that her son is morbidly addicted to alcohol is not uncommon in this world. And he himself cannot get out of the clutches of the green serpent. If you need to cure a child from drunkenness, a mother’s prayer will help her son’s drunkenness. She makes pleas to the Blessed Matrona of Moscow, as well as to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker and, of course, with such grief, mothers cry out to the Lord.

“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.

“Oh, great miracle worker and servant of Christ, Saint Father Nicholas! You, the quick helper and gracious intercessor of all who call upon you, especially those in mortal troubles.

You showed such miracles of mercy in the days of your life. When, after your death, you appeared before the Throne of God, no one can count your mercies, even if you had many languages.

You keep those floating on the waters; You saved many drowning people. You keep them on the road, which were caught by the winds, great snow, fierce frost, and heavy rain.

You protect houses and estates from being set on fire by evil-minded people and from ultimate burning. You protect creatures on the way from the attacks of evildoers.

You help the poor and wretched, deliver them from extreme despondency and fall from grace, for the sake of poverty.

You stand up for the innocent from slander and unjust condemnation. You saved from death three men who were imprisoned and who were to be cut with the sword.

So, you have been given the great grace from God to pray for people and save those in trouble! You have also become famous for your help among the infidel Hagarites.

Can’t you just help me, unfortunate and needy, even if I myself have prepared this lot for myself? Intercede for me from the despondency and despair that surrounds me in evil.

Oh, great saint Nicholas! You yourself suffered imprisonment in prison for the holy faith and, like a zealous shepherd of Christ, you yourself knew how difficult it is to be deprived of freedom and to remain in chains.

Since you have helped many who pray to you in prison! Make this misfortune easier for me, who is sitting in prison. Grant me to soon see the end of my prison stay and receive freedom - not for the sake of continuing my sins, but for the sake of correcting my life!

Pray earnestly for this too, that we may be delivered from eternal prison, that with your help we may be saved, I glorify God, wondrous in His saints, amen.”

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God.

Grant my son good health, reason and will, strength and spirit.

Protect him from harmful influences and guide him on the path leading to Orthodoxy.

Thy will be done. Amen."

Conclusion

Without exaggeration, we can say that a child is more precious to a mother than life, whom she cherishes like the apple of her eye. And the Lord God helps in this, who, without a doubt, watches over all the children in this world. Thanks to the Almighty, his daughters and sons are protected from earthly troubles, from troubles, suffering and illness. And this is called nothing other than God’s Grace, which is sent by the Lord to every child at his birth. And it is within the mother’s power to preserve this grace for as long as possible, and she can do this only by constantly praying fervently.

It’s not for nothing that many centuries ago people introduced into use the concept of “daddy’s girl.” It is no secret that at the birth of a girl, the mothers are also incredibly happy, seeing in this little “blood” a complete copy of themselves. But mothers treat their sons with special reverence, since they see in these young men their protectors, helpers and support in old age. But, placing such responsibility on their child, mothers never forget to take care of their sons themselves, keeping them in peace, protecting them from earthly adversities and doing their best to protect them from unkind people.

Comments from site visitors

    Good day! That weekend, my son brought me to meet his daughter-in-law. A very good and good-natured girl. Ugh ugh ugh
    I began to look for prayers for marriage. I liked this one the most.
    As they say, all means are good!

    Of course, nothing can be stronger than a mother's love...
    Very soon I am sending my son to the army. I'm incredibly worried, I can't find a place for myself. I decided to pray. I read “for all occasions” and “in the army”

    I am a believer. I go to church regularly, but I was skeptical about conspiracies until recently a friend told me that she used this article when her son was leaving for the army. I also have a son, so I was interested. Now I study periodically in my spare time

    Hello everyone =) by the way, this is a controversial issue. Where is the best place to pray? At home or in church. Of course, many will answer the latter, but I am of the opinion that location is not the main thing. God is everywhere, sees and hears everything. So for those who are worried, don’t worry!
    Just always have an icon and preferably a candle on hand. Do not forget!!! It is strictly forbidden to blow it out, only with your hands

    Margot, I’m both at church and at home.
    At home I usually read such conspiracies, but in church... you know, there is a special energy there. Incomparable, a must visit, I don’t understand people who deny religion
    Well, so many people, so many opinions

    Hello! I searched for a long time, but could not find exactly the strong prayer “for protection.”
    A very informative article, I learned a lot of new things, I wrote down a couple of new prayers. I read here that they print it out, but I’m not particularly good with technology, so I keep fiddling with a notebook. Although it may be for the better, it definitely won’t go anywhere and won’t get lost

    The author truly says “... a child is more precious to a mother than life, whom she cherishes like the apple of her eye...”
    There is nothing more beloved than your own blood. So many worries for them. I also came to see the prayers before the army. I'm terribly worried!

    Prayer is all good, but here the question of faith also plays a significant role. You can read at least 1000 and 1 prayer, but if you don’t believe, then what’s the point?

    Yes, Ekaterina, you are right!

    By the way, I most often turned to the Mother of God when talking about children. I went to the website to look at new prayers and study them. I have always been interested in religious literature. The article is very good, clear, well-written!

    I have long known the prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos by heart. It is true that it is “universal”. For all occasions. I pray for both my daughter and sons. I always keep the collection at hand, but this one got lost somewhere. I think, let me look on the Internet. Everything that happens is for the best!

    Good afternoon There are so many viruses going around now, and my son moved to Moscow to study. You never know what you can pick up on public transport. I was looking for a prayer “for health”, at the same time “for all occasions”

    Hello, Lyudmila! Health to you and your son. I also began to sound the alarm about viruses. We started going to kindergarten, and there are mothers who bring their children with a cough and snot... like I give them garlic and citrus fruits. In moderation, of course, but it’s still dangerous.
    So yes, prayer “for health” will help!!!

    But we have grown up. This year was my first time in first grade! I was also looking for a prayer “about health” (I agree completely and completely about snotty children and their mothers!), I found as many as 5 more. “On protection”, for example, would not be superfluous.

    I used to often pray for my son, but now I lost the book, somehow started going to church less often, and decided to look on the Internet. Yes, and there is a reason! My daughter-in-law and I are going on vacation. South. It’s so good that all the prayers are collected in one article!

    Yes! I also liked this article because everything is collected in one place. Comfortable. I added the site to my favorite bookmarks for convenience. I saw my son and smiled so sweetly)))

    Hello! Why not smile when such a caring mother?)
    And mine is 27 years old, but I haven’t learned to wear a hat, so I also came down with a fever and a cough
    A friend sent me the site and advised me to pray

    That’s how I read it, there are two problems - snot and daughters-in-law: D
    Well, we are with the same thing... what to hide. Both short-sighted people went snowmobiling. Got it called...

    I pray for the children constantly, especially for my son. He is my military man...
    God's grace helps in difficult times.
    I liked that there are a lot of selected prayers in the article. The prayer for protection is my favorite.
    Mommies, pray for the children, God will hear!

    A thin article with the right words and really important things.
    Beautifully designed and intuitive.
    Unfortunately, I don’t pray often. Maybe there’s not enough faith, maybe there’s time.
    Thanks to the article, I read it, prayed, and liked it.
    Already recommended to friends

    There is trouble in my family. My son drinks. He lost his family, he’s about to lose his job too.
    I pray for him constantly.
    I used to pray only for health, but then I saw that there was a prayer for drunkenness. Now I will read it too. May God help.
    Thanks to the author, the article is very practical and understandable!

    I have a problem with memory, I can’t remember any text.
    And it doesn’t seem convenient to take a prayer book with you.
    The website is a different matter; you open it on your phone and sit and read it. Thank you for this opportunity.
    The page is nice and useful, I’ve been using it for two weeks now.

    Many beautiful prayers, and even in one place! What could be more beautiful?
    Great idea and beautifully written article.
    Unfortunately, I don’t pray all the time, but I try to do it at least once a week.
    I have three children, I want everything to be good in their lives.
    I love my children, and I believe that God will not abandon them!

    Hello! Of course, it is important for every mother to know that the children are safe. Mother's prayer is the most powerful and sincere.
    Thank you very much for the collection of important prayers!
    My children have already grown up, but that doesn’t make them stop being children for me.
    The article helped me look at prayers a little differently. It's nice to know that there are people I didn't know before. I will use them more often.

    Health to everyone!
    I encountered a big problem; my nephew fell ill. He doesn't have a mother. And I'm his godmother. I'm not good at prayers...
    I want to ask, can I pray for him as for a son?
    Please advise which prayer is suitable? Is there a difference at what time of day one prays and is an icon needed for this...
    Forgive me for my denseness, unfortunately we are not accustomed to this.

    Dasha, I sympathize. Of course, you can pray for your nephew, especially since you are still his mother, even though you are his godmother (and this, in spiritual terms, is even more than a mother by blood)
    Pray Dashenka, prayer will help!
    Everything is clearly written on this site, read it and understand it.
    You can pray anywhere and anytime, the place and time are completely unimportant.
    You can also pray in church before the images.
    Health to your baby!

    I liked the design of the article. Written in an accessible way. The video is generally beyond praise, it really moved me to tears. My grandson watched it with me and really liked it.
    Our family is constantly accompanied by prayers.
    It so happens that our men are hereditary military men. Yes, not staff ones, but active ones.
    Sons on business trips are very scary. We pray and wait.
    Our grandson is growing up, and we also cannot do without prayers.
    Thanks for the page, the whole family loved it.

    I came to say thank you! On behalf of my wife and mother.
    Son, we have a walking problem. Drinks.
    His wife prays for him both for his health and for his drunkenness.
    I don’t really believe it myself, but my wife is calm and thanks for that!
    True, I liked the article itself and the video is wonderful.

    A good article with necessary prayers.
    I pray for my son, I ask for his well-being. He's almost a military man, it's hard for him.
    Please pray for peace of mind for me and for him to feel better.
    Thank you for now having your favorite prayers at hand!

    I pray for the well-being and protection of my almost man.
    I believe that a mother’s prayer is the strongest!
    Thank you for your work, for the beautifully designed article and touching photographs.
    It's a pleasure to pray with you!

    When my son was in the army, like most mothers, I was worried and wanted to make his stay as comfortable as possible.
    I prayed to the Mother of God and Saint Nicholas, and then they suggested this prayer to me:
    “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.
    It immediately fell on my heart. So I began to pray, reading this Psalm.

    I pray to the Most Holy Theotokos for my daughter Sasha, for her happiness and good luck, for her little children. I believe that my prayer helps her in her life’s journey. Protects from adversity and difficulties.
    Thank you, my dears, for this wonderful page. I like visiting her and praying.

    My son was born sickly, I didn’t know if he would survive. How many tears were shed, how many sleepless nights at the crib, it’s scary to remember.
    Thanks to the nurse at the hospital, she told me about praying to Jesus for her son’s health.
    I prayed constantly. Five years have passed since then. My son has grown stronger and caught up with his peers, but I haven’t stopped praying.
    I was pleasantly surprised to see your prayer!
    Thank you!

    And my son is addicted to drinking. They went to the grandmother, she said that there was a conspiracy on him, there was nothing to help, just beg him off. So I pray...
    Nicholas the saint, Matryonushka and our Jesus.
    You read a prayer to him better. Just as I hesitated a little and missed a day, the unfortunate one suffers.
    I had my prayers written down on pieces of paper, but then I found them right next to each other and printed them out. Thank you!

    Grief is bitter when sons are in trouble. So mine decided to get married, but the bride is evil.
    I found a prayer for marriage on your website, I will ask the son of God to send my son a good bride.
    Thank you for the ways of the Lord leading me to you!

    I look at this site regularly. I found a lot of interesting things for myself.
    I don’t have children yet, I pray to the Mother of God for them, I’ll forgive them.
    But I will definitely pass on my prayers for my son to my girlfriend.
    They touched me very much.

    Are there viruses in the kindergarten? And we have the same story at school. The doctor was removed from the school, and the nurse only comes once a week. There is no one to weed out sick children, so these viruses go around in circles!!!
    I was looking for a prayer specifically about health!
    It's great that I finally found it.

    We are all mothers the same, no matter how old our children are, they are still our CHILDREN.
    On this page I found a selection of prayers against any threat.
    It’s very good that you don’t have to run around and look for parts!
    I downloaded the page and printed it out, I pray!

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.

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.

If your son was drafted into the army, then to make it easier for him to serve, read the prayer directed to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.

Its text reads as follows:

“The Wonderworker Saint Nicholas, God's Pleasant. I turn to you with a maternal prayer that you help my son successfully overcome all the hardships of the army and soon return home in good health. I ask you to save my son from despondency in difficult moments, and help me get rid of excessive anxiety. Amen".

This prayer should be read in front of the icon of the Saint with a lit church candle. It is very important at this moment to imagine the image of a joyful, smiling and happy son. After reading the prayer, you need to make the sign of the cross.

A very strong protective prayer is a prayer appeal to Archangel Michael. There is a very strong prayer-amulet that every mother should read for her son’s journey. It will be a reliable protection against all evil spirits and any unkind external influences.

For prayer to be effective, it is necessary to clear your mind of all vain thoughts. It is important to remove pride from your heart and get rid of evil temptations. During your prayer, you must try to renounce everything worldly and completely direct all your thoughts to God.

The amulet prayer sounds like this:

“Oh, holy Archangel Michael, you are a bright and formidable protector, a strong commander of the heavenly army. Help my son to repent of his sins before the Lord God, deliver him from the snares of the fowlers, bring him to the Lord. I ask you, pray for my son and beg for him forgiveness for all his sins, known and unknown. Have mercy on my sinful son, who requires your help and support. Save him from all evil that he will encounter along the way. Protect him from visible and invisible dangers, deliver him from the fear of death, protect him from devilish temptations. And the hour will come, help my son to stand with dignity before the Great Court of our Creator. Oh, most holy, strong and great Archangel Michael, do not deprive my son of your attention. I pray and appeal for your intercession in the present and future. Amen.

After reading this prayer, you need to write it on a piece of paper and put it in your son’s clothes. This will become a reliable talisman that protects you from unkind people along the way.

Prayer-petition to Jesus for my son during studies and exams

By praying to the Savior you can support your son during his studies and when passing exams.

The prayer sounds like this:

“Lord Jesus Christ, Savior of the human race, I ask you to bless my son for successful studies. Send him your help so that knowledge is easily given to him and remains in his head forever. Help him achieve his desired goals, so that he becomes useful and pleasing to God. Amen".

A parent's prayer before an exam will help the child calm down and cope with anxiety. After this, the child will feel confident in his abilities and will be able to complete all exam tasks as efficiently as possible.

An effective prayer goes like this:

“I ask you, Lord, Our Heavenly Father, to send down to the Servant of God (son’s name) all the necessary knowledge that will allow him to successfully pass the exam. Let his thoughts be light and allow him to solve all the tasks. Let the examiner not be picky and make concessions. Make the exam easy for him and he will be able to do everything right. Let him receive the desired grade and please his loved ones with this. Amen".

After such a prayer, you can be sure that with God’s grace you have created reliable protection for your child. And all your son will need is to show his knowledge and skills. But for prayer to be effective, it must sound sincere. It is important to put the full power of your mother’s love into every word.
