Christians have such a thing as parental prayer. Many theologians believe that it reaches Heaven faster than other personal prayers: after all, often the child himself does not yet know how to pray. In addition, for the Lord God and the Mother of God, we, the people, are the same children. They, according to the teachings of the church, experience the same, even worse torment as earthly parents, when their children make tragic mistakes, suffer from pain, behave disgustingly.
Here are a few prayers that loving Christian parents should always have on hand. The first, of course, is the prayer of the mother. It is suitable in any situation: whether the child is sick, whether he is facing some kind of test, or for some reason you do not have a relationship with him. It will be better if you start reading it before the critical moment in the life of your son or daughter. As the saying goes, God saves the safe.
“Lord Jesus Christ, be Thy mercy on my children (names, or on one), keep them under Thy shelter, cover from all evil lust, drive away from them every enemy and adversary, open their ears and eyes of the heart, grant tenderness and humility their hearts. Lord, we are all Your creation, have pity on my children (names) and turn them to repentance. Save, Lord, and have mercy on my children (names), and enlighten their minds with the light of the mind of Your Gospel and guide them on the path of Your commandments, and teach them, Savior, to do Your will, as You are our God.
Fathers, too, should not stand aside from the cause of protecting their children. This prayer for fathers is a man's.
“Sweetest Jesus, God of my heart!! You gave me children according to the flesh, they are Yours according to your soul. And You redeemed my soul and their souls with Your priceless Blood, for the sake of Your Divine Blood, I beg You, my sweetest Savior, with Your grace touch the hearts of my children (names) and my godchildren (names), protect them with Your Divine fear, keep them from evil inclinations and habits, direct them to the bright path of life, truth and goodness.

Give my children (names) and godchildren (names) a right heart to keep Your commandments, Your revelations and Your statutes. And do it all! Amen".
The following prayer is suitable for both parents. If two people read it together, its power will double.
“Merciful Lord Jesus Christ! I entrust to you our children, whom you have given us by fulfilling our prayers. I beg you. Lord, save them in ways that You Yourself know. Save them from the vices of evil, pride, and let nothing that is contrary to You touch their souls.

With the prayer of Your Most Pure Mother of God and Ever-Virgin Mary and Your Saints (list the saints of your family), Lord, have mercy and save us, as you are glorified with Your Beginningless Father and Your Most Holy Good Life-Giving Spirit always, and now, and ever, and forever and ever .

The most painful topic of all parents is, of course, their children. Small children do not let them sleep, big ones do not let them live. It is, in fact, what it is.
Children begin by loving their parents. Then they judge them.
And almost never forgive them.
Oscar Wilde
The feelings and tears of mothers for their children are natural. Children often make mistakes, hurting both themselves and their parents. And it is very difficult to raise a HUMAN out of a child, and to keep him from evil, from mistakes, from stupidity, from the wrong path, from cruelty ...
How can a mother not worry about her children? For every scratch, every bruise, every fall? They have bruises on their knees, their mother has wounds in her heart.
Natalya Kalinina
And let prayer help in this difficult parental work. Mother's prayer for children. We are all not "God's servants", but God's CHILDREN. And it is worth trusting God, and it is worth asking Him for help in the fate, health and conscience of the child.

A mother's prayer for her children
(compiled by St. Ambrose of Optina)
God! Creator of all creatures, applying mercy to mercy, You have made me worthy to be the mother of a family; Your grace 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 by 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 Covenant; sanctify with thy truth; may your holy name be sanctified in them and through them! 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 Your wisdom that controls the universe! 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 contribute in the feeling of Your omnipresence; instill in their hearts fear and aversion from all iniquity: that they may be blameless in their ways; May they always remember that You, Omnipotent God, are a zealot for the law and Your righteousness! Keep them in chastity and reverence for Your name! Let them not dishonor Your Church by 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 mankind.
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, to inspire them with every possible distance from any union with the lawless; let them not heed rotten conversations; Let them not listen to frivolous people; 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 grace in every possible 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 Your favor and in the love of pious people.
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 and have mercy on them, 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 who rejoices 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 unworthy 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.
