The power of Orthodox prayers
Parental prayer for children has the power of a talisman. It can be said in your own words, but there are many canonical prayers approved by the church fathers. The power of prayer appeals to God has been tested for centuries. Orthodox priests recommend that mothers pray for their children throughout their lives, starting from the prenatal period.
Daily maternal prayer, which has become a familiar ritual, will be a reliable shield from adversity and illness for helpless children, for mature accelerators, and for children graying with age. Disobedient children bring a lot of grief to their parents.
If a son or daughter is rude to parents, leaves home, takes things or money without asking, or succumbs to the influence of bad friends and acquaintances, then this causes great concern to the parents. Lacking life experience, he/she can get into serious trouble that threatens health and life. Prayers for children's obedience can enlighten the mind of a beloved child and protect them from a rash act.
Mother and daughter
A special relationship develops between a growing daughter and mother. It would seem that they should understand each other perfectly, but, unfortunately, when entering adolescence, becoming a girl, the daughter often goes against her mother, offending her, accusing her of misunderstanding. To protect her daughter from mistakes, the mother sometimes takes strict measures, and this makes their communication impossible. To avoid such a situation, the mother needs to be patient and read saving prayers so that her daughter respects her mother.
Orthodox maternal prayer
Lord my God Almighty! Fulfill the request of Your insignificant servant (your name)! May my beloved child be in Thy greatest mercy, Protect her from the forces of darkness, grief and evil, grant goodness to all her deeds! With deep faith in Your power, I cry for help, Have mercy, may Your will be favorable to me, amen.
Remember that a mother’s Orthodox prayer is also a strong amulet for your children. Saying the mother’s prayers so that the children love their mother, she takes care of her children, wants to protect them from mistakes and evil thoughts, blessing them for a righteous life.
Who to pray for children's obedience
In order for a child to obey his parents, you can pray:
- to Jesus Christ;
- Mother of God;
- saints;
- guardian angel
The most effective appeal is to the Almighty. All events in a person’s life occur according to the will of the Lord. Children's disobedience occurs most often due to parental oversight in upbringing. The sinful lifestyle of the father and mother is mirrored in the behavior of the children. You need to pray to Jesus Christ with a repentant heart, realizing your sins before God.
The Most Holy Mother of God is sensitive to parental concerns for their children. There is a special icon “Education”, in front of which you should pray in case of conflicts with children.
For a disobedient son or daughter, you can pray to the holy saints Sergius of Radonezh, Matrona of Moscow. St. Sergius of Radonezh, the greatest Orthodox ascetic, was the founder of the famous Trinity-Sergius Lavra. Through the prayers of Matrona of Moscow, miracles were and continue to be performed during her life and after her death.
In the Orthodox prayer book there is an appeal to all the saints, which will help to find mutual understanding with children. A guardian angel is always next to a person. But not everyone hears his voice. A mother's fervent prayer to her guardian angel gives a chance to protect her child from misfortune.
What are children's prayers?
With the little ones you can say this: “Baby, you and I don’t see God. But our eyes cannot see other important things in our lives. So, for example, we also cannot see or touch joy, love, sadness, hope.
Although we do not see God, we still feel his love for us and care. We can see how God's will is manifested in the events that surround us. How sometimes God saves us from danger, evil, and helps us in trouble.
We pray to be closer to God. It's like having a heart-to-heart talk with a loved one. In prayer, we thank God for all the good things in our lives, asking for some help or advice. And we also simply say that we want to do God’s will, we want to open our hearts to him, and we love him with all our souls.”
It is very important to pray with your baby. This is how he will get his first experience of turning to God. Read prayers to him, read with him, and soon he will begin to show interest in this activity.
Sometimes such a prayer becomes the main one for a child for a long time.
It is important that the child develops the opinion that God is good and great. He loves us, he is with us. And we can always talk to him through prayer, tell him about our experiences, joys and sorrows. And to be heard and understood.
Children, just like adults, need a special atmosphere for prayer. Help him create such a stop. Reassure him, saying that God is with us, he sees and hears us, he knows and loves us. What are we going to tell him?
Prayer for a child should not be a chore or hard work. The baby can communicate with God in his own language, with joy and good mood. He can sing, play, laugh, clap his hands, in a word, behave according to the situation. It is advisable to add movements to prayer. This way children better learn the meaning of words.
For example, by saying the words “we bow before you,” we show the baby that he needs to lower his head. We also show how the sign of the cross is performed.
Texts of Orthodox prayers for the obedience of children
Prayers for children’s obedience are read from Orthodox sources or by purchasing texts in churches.

The composition and effect of prayer from a psychological point of view
Psychologists have long noticed that small “rituals” increase the efficiency of both simple and complex tasks; allow you to tune in to work in such a way that the result becomes an integral part of the efforts made. It’s not for nothing that athletes put on tracksuits before training, and businessmen put on business suits, carefully monitoring compliance with the slightest rules of etiquette. From the perspective of psychology, prayer is a kind of “suit” and a preparatory ritual that sets a positive charge for the whole day.
In addition, prayer helps to tune in to the world around us. Helps to subconsciously perceive it, and, thanks to the information thus obtained, make optimal decisions. Consequently, prayer is a kind of key that opens the door to a space of mutual understanding, goodness, success and inner strength. After all, if a child is confident in his ability to achieve something and has a positive attitude, nothing can stop him.
Prayer allows you to relax the body and teaches you to concentrate on the current action. Later in adult life, the skill helps children apply the acquired knowledge better than their peers.
A joyful life to you and your children! God's blessings!

Rules of prayer
Prayer must come from the heart. It doesn’t matter how the words are pronounced, the main thing is to perceive the content of the prayer with all your soul. Rushing during prayer makes it useless. Regardless of where the prayer is read, in church or privately, the believer should experience reverence and love for the Heavenly Patron.
We must believe in God, in his mercy, only in this case does it make sense to pray. At the same time, envy, anger, and indignation towards other people should not lurk in your innermost thoughts. Prayer is offered in front of a holy image in a temple or at home. They light a candle or lamp in front of the icon and make the sign of the cross.
To calm the feelings, read the “Our Father” two or three times and then begin to pray. At the end, they cross themselves and bow down if it is the image of Jesus Christ or the Virgin Mary. The Guardian Angel can be addressed mentally, anywhere and in front of the icon.
Features of home prayer
It is necessary to prepare for any prayer. To begin with, you should carefully read the text of the prayers for children. You must understand every word you speak. It must come not only from your lips, but also from your heart. It is advisable to memorize all the main prayers so as not to stumble while reading them.
Before starting prayer, you need to retire, light a lamp and stand in front of the icons. You can recite the text of prayers, either alone or with the whole family. Such family reading is a type of public prayer, but in no way replaces individual prayer.
To begin, sign yourself with the sign of the cross and make several bows from the waist or to the ground. After this, try to tune in to internal communication with God. In silence, an awareness of the importance of the ritual being performed should come to you.
Having made all the preparations, you can stand in front of the icon and begin reading prayers. At the same time, it is important to clearly pronounce each word, delving into its essence not only with the mind, but also with the heart. An important principle of any prayer, including prayers for children, is the ability to understand and feel the sacred text. Only such an attitude towards the spoken words guarantees a positive result.
You also need to be very focused while praying. It is believed that anyone who reads the text absent-mindedly and inattentively will not be heard by the Lord. The human mind is always busy, so you need to be prepared for distractions. At such moments, try to focus even more on the process and bring your thoughts into a calm state.
You don't need to be looking at your watch all the time, so get into a position that you can stand in for a long time. If it is difficult for you to evoke in yourself the sensations and feelings that are mentioned in the text of the prayer, then try to read prayers throughout the day to penetrate their meaning. It is not recommended to read a lot of general prayers in a row. It is better to interrupt them with a personal appeal to God.
Priests recommend not only praying (reading a text established in a certain order), but also talking to God in your own words. This way you can tell the Lord about your aspirations, troubles and joys. Communication with God must be carried out constantly in order to maintain your connection at a sufficient level. The stronger it is, the better the result of your prayers will be.
To the question “Is it possible to pray to God in your own words?” many Holy Fathers answer in the affirmative. Indeed, today not only those texts that exist in the Holy Scriptures are widespread, but also those that were pronounced by some Holy Fathers. Over time, they became a familiar prayer for many.
In order for the words spoken by a person to bring him what he wants in the future, purity of heart must be complemented by the depth of personal faith and the experience of his entire spiritual life. Under such conditions, the power of prayer will increase many times over.
Effective spells for child obedience
A fairly common case is when parents take care of a child, pay a lot of attention to him, but the child is still disobedient. Rudeness, hysterics and scandals become commonplace in this family. In such cases, it is customary to use a spell for the child’s obedience, because every parent wants to have a good, well-mannered child of whom they can be proud. I would like to make all other families jealous of their family well-being.
Conspiracy to obedience a child
If it is not possible to do this using psychological and educational methods, then magic comes to the rescue, because the parents tried all possible methods, but it did not bring any results. Fathers and mothers turn to magic for help in cases where the usual traditional methods are unsuccessful. Some parents bring their child to see a psychologist to help solve the problem. But often, even the most experienced specialists in the field of psychology cannot determine the reason for this behavior of the baby.
If the child’s whims do not go away
If a child is overcome by restless sleep, whims and crying, then the mother cannot calmly observe all this. Our ancestors found a way to solve this problem. While bathing, you need to read the following plot:
“Mother of God, help me. Make sure that the child’s whims disappear like water drains from a goose. Amen".
If this version of the ritual does not suit you, then there is another way. When you put your baby to bed, read the following hex:
“Let sleep envelop the baby, and let his whims disappear from him. I ask that the child be able to sleep normally and not disturb his parents. Amen".
If the baby stops listening to his parents
Since ancient times, prayers have been used to improve children's obedience. There are a huge number of such conspiracies. The most common way is that while feeding the baby, you need to read the following prayer:
“I feed the baby from my own hands. Thus, I want to take away his will. All my life I will now protect my child, God’s servant (name), from adversity and curses. I will become the child’s most faithful protector and friend. I ask that he seek help from me, and not from strangers. Amen".
If a child is plagued by nightmares, then the following ritual should be performed:
- collect water from a reservoir, it can be either a river or a well - the main thing is not to use tap water;
- go into your child's room when he is sleeping;
- cross the child in the air and read the spell: “I gave birth to a baby and gave him happiness in life. I wish that my child never gets sick and sleeps well at night. Let the baby sleep at night and let me work during the day. Amen".
If a son stops listening to his parents
In principle, for a teenager, changes in behavior are a normal thing. If a son, as a teenager, got involved with bad company and began to be rude to his parents, then it is worth conducting a special ritual that will allow him to quickly and effectively resolve the current situation. The ceremony should take place at the moment when the son is in the house. Take something that belongs to your child, and he himself must give you this thing. Don't even think about picking it up yourself. You should be filled with a feeling of caring.
In order for the child to be obedient, the following slander must be read on the thing:
“I wish that my child would obey me again. Let him not seek help from strangers. Please help me so that my son can study well. Let the feeling of hatred that is in his soul go away forever. Let the servant of God (name of the son) honor his ancestors so that they do not waste their strength. I ask you to endow our home with harmony so that it is filled with peace. Let the conscience that disappeared from your son return again. So that he respects his parents and never contradicts them again. I'm very worried about my son. Amen".
It is important to remember that the words must be read correctly. Therefore, if you are not sure of the correct pronunciation, write the words on a piece of paper. Keep it with you at all times so that at a certain moment you can quickly read the necessary words. The item must be returned to the child for further use.
We all love our children, but sometimes they just act out.

Problem Daughter
At those moments when girls begin to develop hormones, they are very exposed to psychological problems. They may withdraw into themselves and stop accepting their parents. The mother always notices the slightest changes in her daughter's behavior. If she notices that her daughter has begun to communicate with dubious older guys, then her heart begins to worry. If you want to avoid negative consequences, then you need to read a certain conspiracy.
“Lord, I ask you to send my daughter, God’s servant (name), home. Let her path go nowhere. You need to listen to your mother all the time. I wouldn't wish anything bad on my daughter. Let her understand how much I love her. I ask you to make her return her attitude towards me. I will become her most faithful friend, her most devoted sister. I will replace everyone with her, just so that our relationship will improve. I wish only happiness for my child. Let the Holy Angel take care of her. Amen".
Don’t worry, this conspiracy will not affect the future fate of your daughter. She will be happy and have a good young man. You need to read the plot while your daughter is sleeping. Remember, the child needs to be trusted.
