Orthodox prayer of the mother for the son
"Heavenly Father! Grant me grace in every way to protect my children from being tempted by my actions, but, constantly keeping in mind their behavior, to distract them from errors, correct their errors, restrain their stubbornness and obstinacy, refrain from striving for vanity and frivolity and are not carried away by insane thoughts; let them not follow their own heart; let them not forget thee and thy law.
Such prayers should be read in a relaxed atmosphere at home or in the church, preferably holding a lit church candle. Traditionally, prayers are carried by the icon of the Virgin, who is considered the patroness of all mothers and their children. If prayer rises in the presence of a child , it is necessary to cross it after each reading.
