Prayer for a Child — Protection and Health
Svichka.org · 2026-08-15
A mother's and father's prayer for a child is the most powerful. When we pray for our children, we wrap them in an invisible protection that remains with them even when we are not near.
Prayer for a Child
“O Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, bless my child (name). Protect him/her from all evil, illness, and danger. Grant him/her health, wisdom, and kindness. O Guardian Angel, be with him/her day and night. O Most Holy Theotokos, cover him/her with Your protection. Amen.”
When to Read This Prayer
The prayer for a child is read daily — in the morning before the child goes to school, and in the evening before sleep. It is especially important to pray before significant events: exams, travels, illnesses, and first steps into independent life.
The Power of a Mother's Prayer
People say: “A mother's prayer draws from the depths of the sea.” These are not mere words — thousands of families testify: when a mother prays, the child feels it from afar. Prayer is the best gift you can give your child.
