MOTHER'S PRAYER FOR HER CHILDREN

God! Creator of all creatures, applying mercy to mercy, You created me worthy to be the mother of a family; Your goodness has given me children, and I dare to say: they are Your children! Because You gave them life, revived them with an immortal soul, revived them with Baptism for life in accordance with Your will, adopted them and accepted them into the bosom of Your Church. God! Keep them in a blessed state until the end of life; make them worthy to be partakers of the Mysteries of Your Testament; sanctify with thy truth; may he be sanctified in them and through them holy name Your! Send me your grace-filled help in their upbringing for the glory of your name and the good of your neighbor! Grant me methods, patience and strength for this purpose! Teach me to plant in their hearts the root of true wisdom - your fear! Illuminate them with the light of the ruling universe of Your Wisdom! May they love you with all their soul and mind; May they cling to Thee with all their hearts and tremble at Thy words all their lives! Grant me understanding to convince them that true life consists in keeping Your commandments; that labor, strengthened by piety, delivers serene contentment in this life, and inexpressible bliss in eternity. Reveal to them the understanding of Your law! Yes, until the end of their days they act in the feeling of Your omnipresence; instill in their hearts fear and aversion from all iniquity; let them be blameless in their ways; May they always remember that You, Omnipotent God, are the Zealot of the law and Your righteousness! Keep them in chastity and reverence for Your name! Let them not discredit Your Church with their behavior, but let them live according to its precepts! Inspire them with a desire for useful teaching and make them capable of every good deed! May they acquire a true understanding of those subjects whose information is necessary in their state; let them be enlightened with knowledge that is beneficial for humanity. God! Wise me to imprint with indelible features in the mind and heart of my children the fear of fellowship with those who do not know Your fear; inspire them with every possible distance from any union with the lawless; let them not heed rotten conversations; let them not be led astray from thy way by bad examples; let them not be offended by the fact that sometimes the way of the wicked is prosperous in this world.

Heavenly Father! Grant me the grace to be careful in every possible way to give my children the temptation of my actions. But constantly keeping in mind their behavior to distract them from delusions, correct their errors, curb their stubbornness and obstinacy, refrain from striving for vanity and frivolity; let them not be carried away by foolish thoughts, let them not follow their hearts. Let them not become proud in their thoughts, let them not forget You and Your law. May the iniquity of their mind and health not destroy them, may the sins of their spiritual and bodily forces not relax.

Father of bounty and all mercy! As a parent, I would wish my children every abundance of earthly blessings, I would wish them blessings from the dew of heaven and from the fat of the earth, but may Thy holy will be with them! Arrange their fate according to Your good pleasure, do not deprive them of their daily bread in life, send them everything they need in time to acquire blessed eternity; be merciful to them when they sin against you; impute not to them the sins of youth and their ignorance; bring contrite hearts to them when they resist the guidance of thy goodness; punish them and have mercy, directing them to the path pleasing to You, but do not reject them from Your face! Accept with favor their prayers; grant them success in every good deed; turn not thy face away from them in the days of their affliction, lest their temptations be overtaken above their strength. Overshadow them with Your mercy; May Your Angel walk with them and keep them from every misfortune and evil way. Almighty God! Make me a mother rejoicing over her children, may they be my joy in the days of my life and my support in my old age. Make me worthy, with hope in Your mercy, to stand with them on the Last Judgment Yours and with shameless boldness to say: “Here I am and my children whom You have given me, Lord!” Yes, together with them, glorifying the inexpressible goodness and eternal love Thy, I exalt Thy most holy name, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.

I ask You, Lord, save them in ways that You Yourself know. Save them from vices, evil, pride, and let nothing that is contrary to You touch their souls. But grant them faith, love and hope for salvation, and may they be Your chosen vessels of the Holy Spirit, and may their life path be holy and blameless before God.

Bless them, Lord, that they strive every minute of their lives to fulfill Your holy will, so that You, Lord, can always abide with them by Your Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Listen or read online a strong Orthodox maternal prayer for children, their health in Russian. With what illnesses does a mother's prayer for children help, to whom to turn their prayers? More about everything in this article.

Many people know that mother's prayer is the strongest, it will get it from the bottom of the sea. But not everyone knows how to make a prayer for children just like that. How parents can succeed, so that when taking care of their child, they are successful, they can really help, they save them from rash steps and mistakes. If you are contacting Heavenly Forces, you need confidence that the work is not in vain, the request will be fulfilled, caring for the child will bring worthy results.

When I see a picture in front of me:
Tearful, hunched mother,
And next - a proud, pompous son,
With all my heart I want to say:

"You mothers who have a son,
Stretch out your hands to heaven -
And believe that your prayers are strong
Create miracles even after death!

You are sons who have forgotten about God,
Look at the praying mother
And stand next to me on your way
You didn't have to shake those tears!

Why a mother's prayer is considered strong

God has shown people what His Love is. He gave the Son, assigning him to suffering and death, for the sake of the triumph of Salvation. The most powerful prayer with self-sacrifice. This is what parents have, especially mothers. There is no self-interest or personal gain.

She is also ready to bring her life to the altar of the well-being of her child. She will throw herself into the fire, not thinking about herself, if only her child lives. Therefore, she (a loving father) is given special power over children.

Teach kids respect

The commandment to honor parents with children carries a promise. Obedient and courteous children are promised long years. If a son or daughter neglects their parents, insults, mocks, does not honor, then they shorten their lives, risking not reaching old age. There is hardly anything higher than motherly love, which means that the power of her prayer will surpass others. Let children know and understand this from early childhood.

Don't annoy your children

Giving parents power over the child, the Lord warns: Fathers, do not irritate your children. Instruct in love for the teaching and knowledge of Christ. Then they will grow up kind and obedient, will use the blessings of the world with understanding. You can not be angry with children, reaching curses, humiliation, insults, evil wishes.

By doing this, instead of a blessed life, you doom the innocent to illness and sorrow. When mothers or fathers forget about this, the growing youth despises the older generation, brings grief to those around them. She dies, she cannot give her children a pious upbringing, which she herself did not receive in her time. Therefore, God calls parents to be prudent, especially adults.

Note: Mothers and fathers cannot give their children what they themselves do not have. In order for prayer to preserve and protect children, it is necessary to lead an appropriate life. By believing, indulging in everything good, crystallizing the teaching of Christ in oneself, a viable generation is acquired. If there is Light in the mother, then the child is also able to receive it.

Unfortunately, we are not saints, therefore, when praying for children, let them be 3 years old or already 50 years old - it does not matter, they must change themselves. It is not in our power to transform the life of a child, to correct him, but nothing is impossible for God. Asking for a child, one must completely entrust his care to the Heavenly Intercessors.

1. If parents and children lived long without knowing God. How to pray now? In prayers, they ask for the admonition of the child, so that the Lord directs his path, instructs, changes his mind. Having missed the children, show diligence in raising your grandchildren, bring them to God (to the temple). Entrust everything to the Powers of Heaven, often (every day) pray. The result will be, although not immediately, you will have to work hard, make up for lost time.
2. Why is it necessary to pray for a long time, using long texts, spending a lot of time and effort? If you turn off the water supply and then turn on the water, it will be rusty and dirty at first. So are rare (short) prayers. Mother must get drunk clean water herself. Only in this way will she be able to give the child a noble drink. Without grace in yourself, how will you attract the help of the Lord, the Mother of God, or the Saints?
3. Whom to pray (except for reading the Akathist to the Mother of God) for the successful marriage of his daughter, if there is already one failed marriage behind him? Resort to the Monk Euphrosyne - the wife of Prince Dimitry Donskoy. They had 12 children, reaching sainthood. On the tomb, belts for conception are consecrated. Through prayers to them, marriages are strengthened, children are given, peace and prosperity are preserved in families.
4. How to make children happy? Happy are those children for whom, first of all, the mother prays. Without such support, material well-being can be achieved, but there will be no personal peace, tranquility, and happiness. A certain old man spoke about the causes of dysfunctional families. Nobody prays for them. Earlier, when their mother died, the children understood that there was no prayer book for them. Now we have to take over her work.
5. How to help a child when something goes wrong? For example, normal relations with others do not develop, studies are not given, problems constantly arise at work. If you ask a priest about this, he will answer: "Maternal prayer will help, and tearful."

Note: Mothers have received a special privilege from God to pray for their children. God always hears their requests. Even for enduring birth pangs, it cleanses from sins, like the Sacrament of Baptism. When we give birth, we become saints! Therefore, childbearing is so valued, and abortions, on the contrary, burden the soul with sins. To pray for the happiness of the living, one must repent for the death of the unborn. Otherwise, the request may not be fulfilled.

How to pray for fruit

In order for the work of a mother (any one who prays) to bear the necessary fruits, one must not only ask God for something, but come to the right state by oneself. It depends on him how soon the petition will be fulfilled. Parents have special gifts, but they also need to understand what the requirements for Orthodox prayer which the Lord accepts.

Prayer for children to the Guardian Angel

Angel of God, the guardian of my child (name), holy, to keep him (her) from God from heaven given! I diligently pray to you: enlighten him (her) today, and save from all evil, guide him to a good deed, and direct him to the path of salvation. Amen.

How can you tell if you are praying correctly?

When a person prays, he begins to change. His actions, his reaction to someone else's actions become different. From what these changes are, one can judge whether a person understands correctly what he is doing, whether his work is so fruitful. Judging by these actions, you can understand what mistakes they made.

Both the Lord Himself and the Holy Fathers warn of this, teaching fruitful and not vain prayer. The most striking example is the parable of the Pharisee and the publican. Since, for many, these images say little about anything, I will resort to modern and more understandable ones.

The image of the Pharisee

Imagine a praying Christian who has a lot of knowledge, has read the Bible, the Holy Fathers, goes to church regularly, and considers himself a true believer who has one foot in Paradise. Do you feel exalted in it? Such is his prayer, mingled with vanity:

1. If, for example, such a person prays in a temple, and someone stands in front of him, or pushes, or makes a remark - he falls into anger, begins to get angry, irritated and condemning the ignorant "offender".
2. It is the same at home: who among the neighbors interrupts or distracts from prayer is attributed to those possessed by demonic forces that are directed against the “pious” occupation. With such communicates angrily and irritably.

This is the image of a Pharisee. If you feel something like this: falling into irritation immediately after (during) prayer, then pride overcomes, and such an appeal is not pleasing to God. Seeing this in yourself, ask, as often as possible (in a short, you can Jesus prayer), to get rid of this passion.

The image of the publican

A publican is a tax collector who takes more than what is required by law. A traffic cop taking bribes will suit the modern image of a publican. He understands that he is a thief, deceiving the state, drivers. Recognize guilt before God.

Therefore, he is ashamed to raise his eyes to Heaven and ask the Lord for anything other than mercy. He prays with these words: "God, be merciful to me a sinner." A prayer book that sincerely repents of his deeds is pleasing to God, who forgives him sins and gives Grace to fight against the passion of greed.

Conclusion: Prayer brings fruit, which is closer to the words uttered by the publican, that is, to such a state of mind. The Pharisaic disposition is far removed from the fulfillment of what is asked of God. A humble prayer is fulfilled, and a proud one is rejected. If the mother does not see her sins, the guilt that the child has problems, she does not have the most important thing - humility.

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 will look at a few different options which can be used in various life situations. Remember - the greater your faith, the greater the power of the mother's prayer. Like any prayer, the mother's prayer should be read 12 times.

Prayer of the Mother of God for children

“O Blessed Lady Virgin Mother of God, save and save under Your shelter my children (names), all the youths, maidens and babies, baptized and nameless and carried in the womb of their mother. Cover them with the robe of Your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to your parents, implore my Lord and Your Son, may He grant them useful things for their salvation. I entrust them to Your Motherly care, as You are the Divine Protection of Your servants. Mother of God, introduce me into the image of Your heavenly motherhood. Heal the spiritual and bodily wounds of my children (names), inflicted by my sins. I entrust my child entirely to my Lord Jesus Christ and Yours, Most Pure, heavenly patronage. Amen."

Mother's prayer for her child

“Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, in prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother, hear me, sinful and unworthy of Your servant (name). 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, committed by him before You. Lord, guide him on the true path of Thy commandments and enlighten him and enlighten him with Thy 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, save him under the protection of Your Holy One from a flying bullet, arrow, knife, sword, poison, fire, flood, from a deadly ulcer and from vain death. Lord, protect him from visible and invisible enemies, from all kinds of troubles, evils and misfortunes. Lord, heal him of all diseases, cleanse him of 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 and health, chastity. Lord, give him Your blessing for a pious family life and pious childbearing. Lord, grant me, your unworthy and sinful servant, a parental blessing on my child in the coming mornings, days, evenings and nights, for the sake of your name, for your Kingdom is eternal, omnipotent and omnipotent. Amen. Lord have mercy."

Orthodox mother's prayer for her son

“Heavenly Father! Grant me grace in every way to beware of giving my children a temptation by my actions, but, constantly keeping in mind their behavior, distract them from delusions, correct their errors, curb their stubbornness and obstinacy, refrain from striving for vanity and frivolity, so that they are not carried away by crazy thoughts; let them not follow their hearts; let them not forget you and your law. May the iniquity of their mind and health not destroy them, may the sins of their spiritual and bodily forces not relax. Righteous Judge, punishing children for the sins of their parents up 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 prosper in virtue and holiness; let them grow in Thy favor and in the love of pious people.”

Such prayers should be read in a calm atmosphere at home or in church, preferably holding a lit church candle. Traditionally, prayers are offered at the icon of the Mother of God, which is considered the patroness of all mothers and their children. If a prayer is offered in the presence, it is necessary to cross it after each reading.

It seems that there is nothing stronger than love and mother's care of children. This is true, but maternal prayer has even more power, in which a woman puts her energy and hopes for help. Higher powers in protection and guidance on the true path of a daughter or son at any age.

Why does mom's prayer work wonders where it seems impossible? What is stronger - an appeal to the Almighty and the Saints in your own words or the reading of certain prayers composed in ancient times by clergymen? Details in the article.

Icon "The first steps of Jesus Christ".

The power of a mother's prayer

Each person has a story about an event that has a positive outcome thanks to motherly prayer. The fact is that it is the woman who carried the child under her heart that feels him more strongly than anyone else, even the father.
Between mother and baby during pregnancy, not only a genetic, but also an energy connection is formed. Even at a distance, a true mother feels excitement if something bad or good happens to the child. Anxiety is the most common.

The first thing a woman does at this moment is to begin to pray and send positive thoughts and blessings to her child.

Mother's care of children begins even before they are born. When it becomes known about the conception, the pregnant woman turns to the Mother of God or the Almighty so that the baby is healthy and the birth goes without complications. Prayer protection accompanies the baby until he grows up. But even after the creation of their family and the birth of children, the blessing of the mother always accompanies her son or daughter, even those who live outside their father's house.

Of course, modern girls turn to the saints with a prayer for children when serious problems arise:

• with health,
• with upbringing
• with study
• 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 frequent cases when a mother's prayer saved a child from an incurable disease, mortal danger bypassed.

How to pray to a mother for her children

• A prayer for children can be said by a mother at any time when the soul asks for 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.

• Prayer is performed in front of the home iconostasis, the image of a specific saint or mentally turning to 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 request of the mother is addressed.

• Only the 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, the health of children, the mother utters words without putting her soul into them, then you should not hope for a miracle.

• A prayer for a child on any occasion should be said in morning hours, to God's help accompanied him throughout the day.

The mother's evening prayer will save the child from nightmares and provide a peaceful sleep or a good road if the son or daughter is away, at night work, outside the home.

The more often mom prays, the more stronger protection child from various troubles, illnesses, wrong deeds.

In addition to their own prayer for the well-being and health of children, mother and father should instill in their children the culture Orthodox faith by his own example. Children need to be brought to the temple for service, for communion, to explain about faith and love for God.

For prayer to have special power, mom and dad must observe church rules attend services, go to confession and take communion.

Parental blessing is of particular importance for children. Escorting a child from home on any journey, you need to give him your blessing, cross and read a prayer so that the guardian angel or heavenly patron protects him anywhere:

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 for their children to the Mother of God, whom 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, helping in difficult births.

Exist a large number of images of the Mother of God, to which women turn on the occasion of illness, disobedience of children, unwillingness to study or contacting bad company:

Prayer for children to the Most Holy Theotokos

O Most Holy Lady Virgin Mother of God, save and save under Your roof my children (names), all youths, maidens and babies, baptized and nameless and carried in the womb of their mother. Cover them with the robe of Your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to your parents, implore my Lord and Your Son, may He grant them useful things for their salvation. I entrust them to Your Motherly care, as You are the Divine Cover of Your servants.

If the child is on the way, the mother's prayer is addressed to 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 with all her heart:

Prayer for children to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker

O our good shepherd and God-wise mentor, St. Nicholas of Christ! Hear us sinners (names), praying to you and calling for your quick intercession for help: see us weak, caught everywhere, deprived of every good and darkened by the mind from cowardice. Take care, pleasing God, do not leave us in sinful captivity, let us not be our enemy in joy and die in our evil deeds. Pray for us, our unworthy Creator and Master, and you stand before Him with incorporeal faces: make our God merciful to us in this life and in the future, that He will not repay us according to our deeds and according to the impurity of our hearts, but bless us with Your blessing . We trust in your intercession, we boast in your intercession, we call on your intercession for help, and falling to your most holy image, we ask for help: deliver us, the saint of Christ, from the evils that are upon us, but for the sake of not playing us with your saints in the abyss of sin and in the mud of our passions. Pray, to St. Nicholas of Christ, Christ our God, may he give us a peaceful life and the remission of sins, but salvation and great mercy to our souls, now and forever and forever and ever.

It is effective to appeal to the heavenly patron, in whose honor the child was named at birth or baptism. In this case, you need to read a prayer in front of the icon of the holy house or in the church, if its image is in the nearest church.

A mother's prayer for children, if it comes from a pure heart and carries only love and hope for the best, is aimed at delivering the child from illnesses, dangers, works wonders about which there are legends. Children, for whom mothers pray, feel this care even at a great distance. Only a mother feels the grief and joy of her son and daughter as her own, and only a true Orthodox believer receives Divine help for her sincere prayers.

For a believing woman, motherhood has a slightly different meaning. A Christian mother is called to raise children in moral purity, to talk about God. It is also normal for Orthodox parents to pray to mothers and fathers for their children. For them, it is like an invisible shield that can protect them from various troubles. Let's take a look at the most strong prayers mothers for their children.

Attitude towards motherhood

God has a care for every soul. He destines for everyone, without exception, his own path, special. Therefore, parents should not impose their own preferences on the child. They should respect the little personality from the very beginning. Their main task is to take care of morality, to instill useful skills. They are necessary in order to keep the soul from evil when a small person becomes a big one.

When going to the temple, parents should take their children with them. Raising a worthy Christian is much more important than all other concerns. It does not matter who the child becomes - the main thing is his inner life. A prerequisite for this is the mother's prayer for children - it must be constant. Many holy fathers insist on this.

Mother's prayer for a child

“Lord Jesus Christ, be Thy mercy on my child (name), keep him under Thy shelter, cover from all evil lust, drive away from them every enemy and adversary, open his ears and eyes of the heart, grant tenderness and humility to their hearts. Lord, we are all Your creation, have pity on my child (name) and turn him to repentance. Save, Lord, and have mercy on my child (name), and enlighten his mind with the light of the mind of Your Gospel, and guide him on the path of Your commandments, and teach him, Savior, to do Your will, as You are our God.

A mother's prayer if the children are sick

“O Most Merciful God, Father, Son and Holy Soul, worshiped and glorified in the Indivisible Trinity, look at the merciful one on Your servant (e) (her) (name of the child) obsessed with disease (oh); forgive him (her) all his (her) sins; give him (her) healing from the disease; return him (her) health and bodily strength; give him (her) a long-term and prosperous life, Your peaceful and most peaceful blessings, so that he (she) together with us brings (a) grateful prayers to You, the All-Generous God and my Creator. Holy Mother of God, by Your all-powerful intercession, help me to beg Your Son, my God, for the healing of the servant (s) of God (name). All saints and Angels of the Lord, pray to God for the sick (sick) servant of His (name). Amen."

Heavenly Father

God does not send children in vain. Parents are given power over them, which is repeatedly mentioned in the Holy Scriptures, even one of the commandments tells to honor the father and mother. But they should not abuse their influence, demand submission no matter what. Father and mother must themselves be accountable to the common Father, the Lord.

Children see everything perfectly, therefore it is impossible to demand from them that which is not fulfilled by the elders in the family. A father who smokes cannot force his son to quit smoking. Because his behavior speaks of a neglect of his duties to build God's temple from the body.

An example of an Orthodox mother

Only humility before God can make a mother's prayer for children strong. And if she screams, criticizes her husband, gets annoyed because of every little thing - it is unlikely that such a person will inspire respect for the child.

Temple and Sunday school attendance is wonderful. But baby, like the most close person, albeit small, is able to perceive the smallest movements of the soul. And the mother's heart should be for him a window into the kingdom of heaven. Through her spiritual world he starts building his own. A pious mother teaches her child from an early age:

• make the sign of the cross
• apply to icons
• pray briefly.

It is with such a mother that prayer for children will be very strong. History knows examples of how requests to God saved lives, pulled people from the very bottom of the moral abyss. Christians owe this to the special relationship of Christ to His earthly Mother.

Cross of the Virgin

Remembering St. Mary, people think about what honor was given to her by God. But how often does it occur to someone how hard it was for her to be purely feminine? Endure, give birth to the Son, then to give him to be torn to pieces, look at the torment and death of his only child? That's who you need to ask for patience when it seems that the forces are running out.

Prayers for children to the Mother of God can be read before any way:

• ask them for health;
• assistance in learning;
• maintaining moral purity.

In such cases, the holy fathers do not limit the frequency of prayers - after all, the heart cannot be ordered to love less. Namely, love, feelings for the eternal fate of the native soul move mothers to prayer deeds.

In Christianity, the family is highly valued, the relationship between parents and children is an important part of education. Orthodox fathers wrote many special prayers that a mother should read about her children.

Christian parenting

From the very first days of life, it is necessary to bring the baby to the temple, do not remove the cross from him. There has not yet been a case where the ribbon somehow hurt. It is desirable after 2 years on Wednesdays and Fridays to arrange fasting days. And it's good for health, as doctors say today. Vegetable food cleanses the body, allows it to take a break from the stress that heavy food with animal fats creates.

• Communicate regularly with children.
• At home, read prayers aloud, Holy Bible- even if the baby does not understand the words, they will still have their beneficial effect.
• On an empty stomach give holy water, a piece of consecrated bread or prosphora.
• Offer the baby for blessing in the temple, apply to the Cross.

One should not only make a mistake and put into the mind of the child the image of a formidable God, Who seeks to punish for the slightest offense. This will not cause love, but rather disappointment and longing for the Creator, Who loves and forgives.

Children of the younger school age able to perceive the gospel texts naturally. They are surprised not so much by miracles as by the behavior of Christ, His love and self-sacrifice.

Do not force small children to memorize prayers. It is better to explain that God hears everything, and in the morning you need to say hello to Him, in the evening - to say goodbye. Let the child turn to Jesus in his own words, over time he will learn church texts. The main thing here is not to discourage the desire to know this issue.

If a pious atmosphere reigns in the house, the mother's prayer is constantly heard, the child naturally perceives it with all his heart, this is an excellent basis for the future.
