Who to pray for adult children. Mother's prayer for children, son, daughter and her child

Very often from some parents you can hear the following questions: which icon or which saint should we pray for our children?

I am very glad that many parents understand that an important condition the success of raising children is ours parent prayer for them.

In one of our previous articles we talked about saving parents. And we, adults, have a lot to learn from our children, because often parental prayer for children is unreasonable.

The Apostle James says: “You ask and do not receive, because you ask wrongly” (James 4:3).

So how to pray for children correctly, what to ask the Lord for?

Agree that more often in our prayers we ask children for well-being in society, health, and there are even special prayers about this in our prayer books.

So, for example, in case of illnesses of infants, they pray to the holy martyr Paraskeva, named Friday, for the development of the mind in children - the martyr Neophytos, St. Sergius, to the unmercenary and miracle workers Cosmas and Damian, about the welfare of children in society - to St. Mitrofan, the Voronezh miracle worker, about the patronage of children -. And this is not a complete list.

But... this is all good, all this is necessary, but are we forgetting the most important thing? Let's remember what the Lord told us: “Seek first the Kingdom of God, everything else will be added to you.”

Therefore, parents should first of all strive to raise their child as a living member of the Church of Christ. And the Lord will definitely fulfill such a prayer, even if not right away. The timing is unknown to us, because there are so many cases in history when the Lord did not lead young people on a straight path, but temporarily allowed them to deviate from straight path, thereby saving from pride.

The most striking example is Monica’s prayer for her son, Blessed Augustine. It’s not for nothing that he is called the “son of tears.” His mother’s prayers and hot tears helped him become a great teacher of the Church.

The Holy Fathers teach us to pray very carefully. This also applies to parental prayer, and in particular when parents ask in their prayers for recovery of a terminally ill child.

Sometimes the Lord takes away their children from parents, thereby saving them from future grief. In this case, parents need humble submission to the will of God, and as the Lord prayed in the Garden of Gethsemane, so we must add at the end: “... however, not my will, but Yours, be done.”

But there are even more cases when the prayer of parents miraculously saved a mortally ill child. Parental, and especially maternal prayer has special power, such an ardent prayer cannot go unheard.

As proof, I will give an example from our days.

By coincidence, the parents were forced to send their son into an environment full of dangers for both body and soul. Blessing, the father said:

“My son, wherever you are, know that at exactly twelve o’clock at night, my mother and I will pray for you, St. Seraphim.

And my son, every time at exactly midnight, remembered this. He knew that at this hour his parents were sacredly fulfilling their promise and offering up their prayers for him.

And when three years later he returned to his father’s house, his first words were the following:

- Father, I was saved by your prayers to St. Seraphim.

It happens that the Lord does not refuse parents even their unreasonable requests.

An example of this is the case in the family of the merchant Azurin. A terrible sin perjury entailed punishment for the entire family. All men of this kind ended their lives either in madness or suicide. And so one of the women of this family, with the fatal illness of her child, fervently prayed all night before the image of the saint revered in their family for the recovery of her son. Having forgotten herself, half asleep she sees that the saint came out of the icon to her and said:

“Your prayer is unreasonable, you do not know who will be. But if you ask so, then let it be according to your request.” The boy recovered, matured, and his life became a curse for his mother.

We already talked about it once. It’s hard, very hard to look at a sick child, but as he said: “Health is a gift from God.” And this gift is not always useful. Illness cleanses us from sins, softens our soul, and makes us remember God. After all, it is in illness that we more often remember heavenly things. Really, really?

Therefore, if you are sick, let's think about whether we are the culprits of this suffering?

Once upon a time to St. A peasant came to Ambrose with a possessed boy struggling in his arms and began to ask the elder to cure the child. Perspicacious old man He asked him sternly: “Did you take someone else’s?” “I’m a sinner, father,” answered the father. “Here is your punishment,” said the elder and walked away from the unfortunate father.

And in this case, the only means of healing will be the repentance of the parents.

In history we can meet many pious families where, through the prayers of their parents, they grew up to be real Christians, real people.

And in conclusion, I would like to quote a prayer to the Martyr Sophia for raising children in Christian piety.

This holy wife managed to raise her three daughters in such a way that, in a moment of terrible torment, these young girls remained faithful to their mother and everything she taught them and were honored for this with the Kingdom of Heaven.

Prayer to the Martyr Sophia.

Oh, long-suffering and wise Great Martyr Sophia of Christ! You stand with your soul in heaven at the Throne of the Lord, and on earth, by the grace given to you, you perform various healings: look mercifully at the people who are present and those praying before your relics, asking for your help: extend your holy prayers to the Lord for us, and ask us for forgiveness our sins, healing for the sick, the mourning and the distressed ambulance: pray to the Lord, may he give us all a Christian death and a good answer at His Last Judgment, so that together with you we may be able to glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. 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 the mother has the 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 such a concept as “ father's daughter" 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.
