Hello, father! A friend has recently appeared in my life, namely a friend - he helps me in my current life situation (the person closest in spirit to me died - my mom), he consoles and, in a word, invites me to visit him when he feels that I feel really bad, and we talk and talk for hours, I see that he is already falling asleep, but he still holds on and tries to keep the conversation going, goes to the cemetery with me, sometimes goes to church with me, without demanding anything in return. I always thank him for his help, he says - always contact me when something is needed. And my soul went straight to prayer for him. He said he doesn't sleep well at night and I know he drinks a lot; and somehow we started talking with him: did he begin to sleep better, I told him that I wanted to do something good for him, I remember him in prayer and light candles for him in the temple. To which he replied that, of course, he believes in God, but do not light candles for him, that he is bad and do not change his path, it is clear where it leads. Father, he responds negatively to my constant talk about the church, he invited me to Confession with him, he flatly refused. So I have a question - how should I continue to pray for him and spit on all this, as they say, because he doesn’t want to, or continue to pray and say that I continue to do this and that I believe that he has everything get better, or pray, but not tell him? Thank you.
Ludmila
Lyudmila, submit notes for your friend to the church for the Liturgy and prayers, but you don’t have to tell him about it.

Father, bless. Tell me, please, how many kathismas per day should be read for the newly deceased? Please pray for the deceased Varvara. Save me, God!
Vladimir
Vladimir, in general, no number of kathismas is specified. If you have the strength and competent readers, then you can even read around the clock.
May the Lord rest the soul of the deceased servant of God Barbara and forgive her sins, voluntary and involuntary!
hegumen Nikon (Golovko)
Hello! Please tell me, is it possible to pray for those who have not yet accepted the faith? And are there any prayers for enlightening lost souls? How to help a person make the right spiritual choice?
Olga
Hello Olga! The Church prays only for her children - that is, people who have been baptized. But you can remember the unbaptized in your home prayer. You can pray for the lost, for example, the Most Holy Theotokos in front of her icon "The Sign" Korchemnaya. They pray to her for guidance in the Orthodox faith, for deliverance from heresy and schisms, from drunkenness, for the admonition of those who have fallen away from the Orthodox faith and for the return of those who have erred to the Church: orphan intercessor, grieving consolation and joy, offended patroness and all in trouble and misfortune, quick help and intercession! let me fall into despair, You are the only one more than all the saints and more than all the higher minds, our representative to God, like the All-good Tsar Good Mother. we pray to Thee, Merciful Mother: do not reject our humble prayer and show us the sign of Thy mercy: no one, resorting to You with hope, comes from You to shame, but asks for grace and accepts the gift for a useful petition, glorifying Your Son and God, and You with Him, forever and ever. Amen".
The priest can help you in spiritual matters in church, at confession, or in a private conversation.
Priest Vladimir Shlykov
Hello! Explain to me, please, a very important question for me. Is it possible to read in the morning and in the evening not the complete rule from the prayer book, but some prayers? I try to read the full rule in the evening, and I even like it, but often there is not enough time. After all, it is written that five words spoken from the heart are better than a long-winded but indifferent prayer. Thanks a lot!
Andrew
Yes, Andrei, all this, of course, is written that way. But simple experience tells us that almost no one then returns to reading the full rule - on the contrary, after a year or two they completely abandon it.
hegumen Nikon (Golovko)
Thank you for your answer, Priest Alexander Babushkin. Your words have given me confidence. I continue to pray. It's easier. Life is getting better bit by bit. Even a little ashamed of his such weakness. I was also advised to pray to the icon of the Most Holy Theotokos "The Tsaritsa". Here in the church shop I bought both an icon and an akathist. I try to do good deeds, even small ones, but every day. Maybe someone really needs my help.
Elena
Dear Elena! It is gratifying to know that "life is getting better bit by bit". Take a look around and you will see vast opportunities to help, empathize, and support!
God help you!
Priest Alexander Babushkin
Hello. I often write to you, because I have recently embarked on the righteous path and still do not know much. Tell me, please, I have such a problem - I have a mother and stepfather, he is a very strict person and believes that only his opinion in the family is the main thing, you cannot argue with him. And so, six months ago, he brought a book, this is the Bible of the Slavs, the Slavic-Aryan Vedas. He believes that this is our faith, makes me read this in front of him, constantly imposes it on me, I'm already tired, because because of this we have big quarrels, now I have to secretly attend church, go to services, I'm alone in the house I read prayers. Mom does not allow to argue with him and talk about our Bible, because we can be left without a home. I don’t know what to do, I’m really tired of this, I’m currently studying at the university and in 2 years I want to go to Sunday school, everything will also have to be done secretly, but I really want spiritual support in the family ...
Ludmila
Hello Lyudmila! The book you are talking about has nothing to do with the Bible - it refers to the literature of the neo-pagan sect "Ynglings", banned in 2009 for extremism. Of course, it would be better, if possible, not to read it. If it is impossible not to read, then at least say the Jesus Prayer to yourself. But in general, use the current situation to acquire the virtue of patience and pray for your loved ones so that the Lord will enlighten them.
Priest Vladimir Shlykov
Hello, thank you very much for your site. God bless you for your deeds. Tell me, please, one circumstance is tormenting me very much. When I come to church for a service, I feel bad at the end of the service or in the middle, it gets hot, I suffocate very much from incense, I feel that I’m about to fall, I have to sit on my knees and sit on my knees for 10 minutes. Then I get up and everything can go on again, it becomes easier when people come to take communion, then the doors open and it’s easier for me to breathe from the air. What should I do? I can't help but go to church, because I can't imagine my life without church. And I don't know how to deal with it. Now every time I go to church, I am afraid that it will become bad again. Thank you.
Ludmila
Dear Lyudmila, many people feel unwell during the service in the temple, and this is due to the state of your health. During big holidays, when people gather, some faint. If you feel a lack of oxygen, then you can go out into the narthex or into the fresh air and go around the temple, as in a procession. Try wearing loose clothing that doesn't restrict movement. Worship brings a person the joy of being. Set yourself up for a positive understanding of the service.
Priest Alexander Babushkin
Hello, father. If you can, please clarify this question. Is Communion of the Holy Mysteries of Christ a reward or is it medicine and help for a Christian? For me, even the morning and evening rule is an incredibly hard work, let alone the most difficult preparation for Communion, it can be very difficult to pray with attention, and if this does not work out, irritation, indignation, murmuring comes and all prayer goes down the drain, so you have to leave it to be undefiled. I understand that prayer is important and that it is the root of everything, but prayer does not work, and this is a big frustration. But conscience does not allow to read the text coldly and detachedly, and it is clear that this will not be a prayer. As a result, it turns out that prayer is like drill or hard labor, and if this is nevertheless overcome, then Communion is like a reward. But, perhaps, after all, this is not a reward, but on the contrary, the Body and Blood of Christ are given to us to help us overcome difficulties, but then there is a contradiction here, in order to receive this saving help, a person needs to do hard work without any help, so that only then to receive it when the labor has already been overcome. What then comes first, labor for the sake of Communion or Communion for the sake of help in labor? Tell me how to think about this, what will come to your heart on this issue? Save me, God!
Alexei
Dear Aleksey, you are lost in the three pines, because you have the wrong concept of the sacrament, because it is not a medicine and not a reward. The root of this word is “part”, and we are all members of the church, separate parts of one whole, that is, the Body of Christ, and He is the head of the Church. Thus, through the communion of the Holy Mysteries of Christ, we are united with God and with the fullness of the Church. Most importantly, Communion is the foundation of our future life and therefore cannot be seen as a remedy or a reward. In ancient times, people were mostly illiterate and did not have books, but nevertheless they prepared for communion by performing simple prayers and prostrations. Tell your confessor about your problem and determine with him your prayer rule that you can do.
Priest Alexander Babushkin
Hello. Please tell me how to commemorate the living in the morning prayer and when reading the Psalter? I read like this: "Save, Lord, and have mercy on my mother (name), goddaughter (name), godmother (name) and all Orthodox Christians." And sometimes I say: "Save, Lord, and have mercy on the servants of God (their names) and all Orthodox Christians." What is the right way and what is the order? Maybe the godmother should be mentioned first? And, if I don’t know if the godmother is alive or not, can I mention her as alive?
Elena
Dear Elena, it's good that you commemorate your loved ones. If there was no news of the death of your loved one, then pray for him as if he were alive. Prayer follow:
About the patriarch. About the ruling bishop. About the spiritual father. About parents, if alive. About loved ones. About those who asked to pray for them. about deceased relatives.
Write down their names in the Synod and remember them in your prayers.
Priest Alexander Babushkin
Hello, father. For some reason, when I write notes for health and write my father in them, the next day he begins to swear and fight. And, it rushes at me. In general, he is calm in life. I know that he was baptized, because I saw his godmother. Why is it so, and what to do about it? Thanks for the answer.
Nataliya
Natalia, your dad is probably not a very religious person. I'm almost sure it is. And if he, accordingly, had visited the temple more often and partake of the Mysteries of Christ, then such attacks would not have happened to him.
hegumen Nikon (Golovko)
Bless, father. I wanted to ask you. After ordering mass in the temple, temptations take place in the family. Mom is already afraid to order a prayer in the temple. I'm not talking about the Communion, that is, before and after I am attacked by relatives. I told her that you still need to order and receive communion in order to be with God. What else can I tell her to calm her down?
Maria
And also tell her, Maria, that both she and all those close to you who pounce on you after communion do the demonic will and must get rid of this will. And this requires deep repentance and life according to the commandments of God, life in the Church. Without this, a person gradually turns into a weak-willed toy in demonic paws.
hegumen Nikon (Golovko)
Good morning. I visited the priest yesterday, he said to read the canon of repentance, he said it was small, about 10 minutes, and there are a lot of them on Google, how to find the right one? Tell me please.
Marina
Hello! I would like to ask you a question. The fact is that for some reason it is very difficult for me to fall asleep, it seems that I really want to sleep, but I can’t fall asleep. Maybe I should read some kind of prayer?
Daria
Daria, Prayers for the future should be read before going to bed. This is a general rule for all Christians. And from insomnia, I think the best means- purely medicinal, sedative, since it is simply associated with an increased tone of the nervous system. Consult your doctor.
hegumen Nikon (Golovko)
What kind of prayer is suitable, read to yourself, when you are reviled and slandered, so as not to be angry in response to the offender, but to remain calm?
Mila
there is a prayer: "Remember, Lord, King David and all his meekness."
Priest Sergiy Osipov
Hello. Please tell me how you can help the child. Neighbors in the apartment were doing repairs using a hammer drill. My daughter has been scared since birth. Are there Orthodox prayers, and not conspiracies, as many now offer? Communion the girl, drink holy water.
Marina
Hello Marina.
Pray for the health of the girl, order a magpie for health in the temple.
Help the Lord.
Priest Sergiy Osipov
The Lord said, "Do not make for yourself an idol... neither what is in heaven nor on earth... nor any image of a man or a woman." And what have we done... Icons, what is it? When I did not know the Gospel and the Bible and went to church, I had no doubt about the correctness, but now I think that the Baptists probably understand the Gospel more correctly. And again, explain the words from the prayer: “In your hands, Lord, I transfer my spirit,” but isn’t our spirit without transfer in the power of God and we need to transfer it?
Tatiana
Tatyana, have you already managed to make yourself an idol out of an icon? I'm not here yet. And millions of Orthodox are not either. When did you have time?
We all treat icons as consecrated and visible images of the invisible world, and we pay honor to the prototype that is depicted on them. And we are happy that even at the Seventh Ecumenical Council, eight centuries before the appearance of the first Baptist in decaying Western Christianity, the holy fathers sorted out this issue - how exactly to venerate icons.
Yes, and those words from the prayer that you cited were not at all invented by us, the Orthodox. If you really know the Gospel, then remember very quickly now that the Savior said these words while dying on the Cross. And their meaning is in complete obedience to the will of God. So every believing person, going to sleep and entering the realm of the unknown and unconscious, where nothing depends on his will, surrenders himself exclusively to the mercy of God - and prays about this.
hegumen Nikon (Golovko)
We constantly pray for the repose of the dead in order to improve their afterlife. But why does it have to be done all the time? Why is it not enough once, because the deceased does not commit more sins and God has already forgiven his sins.
Natalia
Natalya, because this must be done constantly, because our prayer is weak, not supported by good deeds and a pious life, not strengthened by spiritual exploits. By the way, about the fact that "God has already forgiven the sins" of the deceased - this is not always the case: the sins in which the person repented are forgiven, but there are others, forgotten, unconscious, hidden.
hegumen Nikon (Golovko)
Hello dear fathers. I have this question: I get up at 5 o'clock in the morning to read the morning rule, and I do it as if in a hurry. Because you need to collect breakfast and lunch for your husband with you. And I read, it turns out, abstractly. Is it possible to read the rule after the husband leaves for work? He leaves at 6:15. I heard that the morning rule should be read before everything else, but you can’t concentrate on prayer and, probably, you are doing even more sin. Forgive me, please, and if possible, bless me for reading the prayer after my husband leaves for work.
Maternal prayer for an adult son: for protection over him, from drunkenness, for health
There is nothing in the world stronger than a mother's prayer to God. Neither earthly laws, nor the forces of gravity, nor anything else have power over it. She will lift her up when her son falls ill, she will warm her up if his soul is cold, she will protect him from someone else's evil will, and will encourage him in a moment of despair. In her reading, words are not as important as the desire to protect your child from misfortunes and troubles. So what if it has long been an adult, it still needs protection and mother's love.
How to read a prayer for a son?
Maternal prayer for an adult son is very effective. But many parents ask God for their child what they themselves want for him: money, happiness, love, and so on. In fact, this is somewhat wrong and selfish. It is better to entrust the fate of your child to the Lord, He knows better what he should be given.
It is better to turn to the Almighty in the early morning and in a prayerful place. It does not have to be a temple, a monastery or a church. You can create a "red corner" in your own house by placing an icon case with icons on the eastern wall. Just make sure that it is away from toys, cosmetics, biblical paintings and other modern things, otherwise the image will lose its strength.
Before reading a mother's prayer for an adult son, you definitely need to prepare: wash yourself, bring yourself to your senses, clear your thoughts, calm down and be a little quiet in order to prepare for a conversation with God. Anger, contempt and other negative feelings should be released. It is worth forgiving everyone with whom you are offended. If it doesn’t work out, you need to ask for forgiveness from our Father and help in overcoming weakness.
To read the prayer of the mother, one should kneel in front of the icons. Of course, you can address the Almighty standing, sitting and even lying down, but for this you must have very serious reasons. In addition, the words of the ancient Fathers should be remembered. They said that any prayer would be fruitless if the body did not work.
The most important thing when talking to God is to be sincere. It is absolutely not necessary to memorize some prayers in order to then say them in front of the icons. Words that come from the very depths of your soul will be much more effective. It is only necessary to believe in His mercy and intercession, then He will surely hear you.
If extraneous thoughts appear during prayer, you need to understand: they are from the evil one. They need to be driven away from you like annoying flies. Be sure to say: "Lord, teach me to pray correctly." You can also start a prayer again or start an alarm clock and read as many prayers as you can in the allotted time.
The words of the prayer should be pronounced slowly, without chattering and without swallowing the endings. Between sentences and different prayers, it is recommended to make at least small pauses. To do well, you can not read the words, but hum them, as the priests do in the church. This will be much more efficient.
Do not forget to bow to the ground and not 10 times, but 50 or even 100, and also cross yourself when pronouncing the word "Amen" and when mentioning the name of the Savior. By this you thank God for his mercy. Ask Him for strong patrons for your son in personal, professional or spiritual growth. Only then can you really help your son find the right direction in life with the help of the Almighty.
A strong prayer for the protection of a son who left his father's house
No matter how grown-up the son is, the mother's soul still hurts for him. Especially if he is somewhere far away, and not at home. Thoughts swirl in my head: how is he, what, is everything okay with him. To calm down and protect the child from all sorts of misfortunes, you can read a strong prayer for an adult son who left his father's house:
It is desirable to do this before the face of the Lord and the protector of mankind, the Most Holy Theotokos, who herself was once a mother. Time - daily, at 6 am, once and on an empty stomach. At the same time, it is worth investing all your strength, emotions, soul and love in prayer. Then your words will be heard, and prayer will help.
Prayer for serious ailments that struck the son
There is nothing worse for a mother when her beloved child suffers due to serious illnesses or mental pain. She is ready to give everything in the world so that he recovers faster and is happy. But in fact, all that may be required to fulfill a desire is to turn to St. Panteleimon. This is a doctor who once treated the weak and the poor absolutely free of charge. The glory of the miracles that he showed is still alive.
As a rule, after turning to the Holy, the sick person is cured. But there are times when it becomes easier for the sufferer to endure the disease. This suggests that he needs to visit the church in order to confess and take communion.
Prayer for recovery from drunkenness
Great grief is experienced by those mothers whose sons become drunkards. Sometimes their hearts become so hardened that they begin to curse their own child. This is a huge sin, which is very difficult to pray! If you are faced with your child's alcoholism, do not let pride, resentment and despondency come to you, it is better to go to church and conduct a ritual prayer to admonish an adult son and rid him of addiction.
First of all, when you come to the church, light candles at the icons of the Savior of Man, Nicholas the Wonderworker and the Matrona of Moscow. Immediately order separate liturgies for health for your son and for yourself. Take 3 more candles and draw holy water. When there is no one in the house, go to your room, send your pets out of there and light candles in front of the iconostasis. Imagine that in front of you is a son who has managed and recovered from alcoholism. Speak clearly:
It is best to read this prayer in the early morning 3 times. At the same time, one should cross oneself over oneself and drink consecrated water from three different sides of the cup after each completion of her words. If you believe, prayer will definitely help.
On the protection of the son
This motherly prayer for an adult son can be read not only after he leaves home, but also before he does so. It will help protect him from all sorts of troubles, illnesses, human envy and anger, material problems. By saying the prayer out loud, you can also help your son choose the right direction in life. Make sure that he goes along the path that was originally intended by Fate. Her words are as follows:
Prayer should be said with sincere faith and a desire to help the son, otherwise everything will be in vain.
Mother's prayer for son's health
Mothers love their children not because they are smart or punchy, but for the very fact of their existence. These feelings are always sincere, pure, without bad thoughts. And therefore, prayers for the health of an adult son, coming from the very depths of the soul, really help. The main thing is to turn to God, His Son or the Mother of God, slowly and driving away all kinds of thoughts - both bad and not very.
In order to protect your son from all sorts of illnesses and ailments, the following words can be pronounced in front of the icon of Jesus Christ:
It is also better to do this in the morning, kneeling in front of the iconostasis and overshadowing yourself with a cross. Preferably nothing until now.
Prayer for a son and his wife
A happily married mother sincerely wishes that her son and his beloved were as good as they were with their father. The one who is unlucky wants everything to work out for the best for the child. Prayer for an adult son and his wife, read by a mother who sincerely worries about her children, reaches God. She helps the boy to improve his life and become a happy family man. You need to read before the icon of Jesus Christ, the words are as follows:
By the way, the same prayer can be used to bless young people for a happy and long marriage.
What should be remembered while praying?
During the pronunciation of words addressed to God, one should delve into the meaning of each of them. Even if it takes a long time, don't rush. Remember: the health and happiness of your son should come first if you decide to pray for him. Therefore, turn off the phones, turn off the alarms and put away the clock, while talking with the Almighty you will not need them.
After reading each prayer, memorized, try to turn to God just like that, in your own words, coming from the heart. You must feel them, understand what feelings they awaken in the heart. After that, bow before the icons, asking the Father for mercy for yourself and your child.
As a conclusion
Maternal prayer for an adult son, however, as well as for a small one, is able to get it from the seabed. She, like the wings of an angel, will cover the child and protect from all sorts of adversities. But if dad turns to God with a request to protect his beloved child, the words will work just as well. Remember this! And may the Almighty keep you.

Not rare in this world is the suffering of a mother who realizes that her son is painfully addicted to alcohol. And he himself can not get out of the clutches of the green snake. If you need to cure a child from drunkenness, the mother’s prayer will help from the drunkenness of her son, she turns with prayers to the Blessed Matrona of Moscow, as well as to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, and, of course, in such grief, mothers and the Lord cry out.
“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God. In grief, my son became addicted to drunkenness, completely moved away from you. Forbid him alcoholic attraction, give him the Orthodox teaching. Let him be cleansed of exorbitant cravings, and his soul in the world will not become filthy. May Your will be done. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Blessed Staritsa, Matrona of Moscow. In a bitter cup, the son found oblivion, from Christ he went into bitter perdition. I beg you, take away the trouble as soon as possible, so that he does not feel a strong need. May your will be done. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Nicholas the Wonderworker, the Pleasant of God. In sickening drunkenness, my child dies, what his soul does, he does not understand. Banish the craving for alcohol from your son, strengthen his weakened will. May it be so. In the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Amen.
Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker "from prison"
And it also happens that the son turned off the righteous path, but for his sins he ended up in prison. And then prayer will again come to the rescue, which a caring mother will prompt her unfortunate son, no matter what.
“Oh, the great miracle worker and saint of Christ, Saint Father Nicholas! Thou art a quick helper and merciful intercessor to all those who call upon thee, and even more so to those who are in mortal troubles.
Such are the miracles of mercy you showed in the days of your life. When, after your death, you appeared to the Throne of God, according to this no one can count your mercies, even if he had many languages.
You keep floating on the waters; You have saved many drowning people. You keep on the way, even catching the winds, great snow, fierce scum, the greatest rain.
You guard houses and estates from the burning of malicious people and the all-term burning. You protect the beings on the way from the attack of the villains.
You help the poor and the poor, delivering them from extreme despondency and fall, for the sake of poverty.
You protect the innocent from slander and unjust condemnation. You saved from death itself three men sitting in a dungeon, they were determined not to be cut with a sword.
Taco, you have been given a great grace from God to pray for people and save beings in trouble! You also became famous for your help to people among the unfaithful Hagarites.
Can't you help me only, unfortunate and needy, if I myself have prepared this lot for myself? Protect me, too, from despondency and despair, which are worse than me.
Oh, great saint Nicholas! You yourself endured imprisonment in prison for the holy faith, and, like a zealous shepherd of Christ, you yourself knew how hard it is to be deprived of liberty and stay in chains.
Kohl to many who pray to you in bonds, you helped thou! Make it easy for me, sitting in prison, this misfortune. Grant me to soon see the end of my prison stay and receive freedom - not for the sake of continuing my sins, but for the sake of correcting my life!
Pray diligently about this too, if we are to be delivered from eternal dungeons, and with your help we save, I glorify God, marvelous in His saints, amen.
Prayer to Jesus Christ "for all occasions"
Of course, there are also such maternal prayers that are considered to be amulets, as they say, for all occasions. So to speak, universal, allowing you to protect your son comprehensively. It is customary to read such prayers several times a day, regardless of the time of day. This is usually done by truly believing mothers who do not forget to ask the Higher Powers for help in protecting their son and say words of gratitude to the Lord for all the blessings.
“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God.
Send my son good health, mind and will, strength and spirit.
Protect him from the influence of pernicious and direct him on the path leading to Orthodoxy.
May your will be done. Amen."
Conclusion
It can be said without exaggeration that a child is dearer to a mother than life, which she cherishes like the apple of her eye. And the Lord God helps in this, who, without a doubt, watches over all the children in this world. Thanks to the Almighty, his daughters and sons are protected from earthly troubles, from troubles, suffering and illness. And it is called in no other way than God's Grace, which is sent down by the Lord to every child at his birth. And it is in the power of the mother to preserve this grace for as long as possible, and she can do this only by constantly praying fervently.
It is not for nothing that many centuries ago, the people introduced such a concept as "daddy's daughter". It is no secret that at the birth of a girl, mothers are also insanely happy, seeing in this little “blood” a complete copy of themselves. But mothers treat their sons with special trepidation, as they see in these young men their defenders, helpers and support in old age. But, placing such responsibility on their child, mothers never forget to take care of their sons themselves, keeping them calm, protecting them from earthly hardships and protecting them from unkind people with all their might.
A lot can happen in the life of every person, he can fall into a bad company or simply lose the meaning of his existence. At such moments, it is most difficult for loved ones to watch how it all happens. And especially parents look at such children. This is not uncommon in today's world. Parents do not find a place for themselves and do not know how to help their lost child.
And often you can hear such an expression as the punishment of God and in truth it looks like it. But this does not mean that nothing can be done, the most important thing is not to give up and fight for your child to the last. They often say that they have tried all the methods, and immediately I want to ask the question which ones? It can be:
- persuasion,
- Intimidation,
- Punishment,
- Prohibitions
- Restrictions and more.
And that's not all, you forgot about the main thing - prayer. And if all options are ineffective, turn to the highest holy words. She can do the impossible, the children will improve, and peace and tranquility will come to you. There is even a belief that says that the parents prayed for a long time for their sinful son, turning to God, and he turned to them and their son repented.
This means that all parents should understand that if they are not able to cope with their lost children on their own, then God will definitely help correct the situation. Any fall they make can be just an experience after understanding all the misfortune and misfortune they bring to their parents. You just don’t need to suffer quietly, pray and ask God to give enlightenment to your child. He once came to earth to the righteous, namely to sinners, so that they would repent and begin to understand their guilt.
Every parent should, above all, have faith that their child will come to his senses and take the right path, that their suffering will go away and will no longer appear in this guise. It is also necessary to visit the Temple with the same requests, it is enough to attend the Sunday service at least once a week and indulge in a prayer asking the Almighty for help to your child.
If any other parents have a similar situation, unite and pray, the power will become much greater and you will definitely be heard. You can confess to the Holy Father at the Temple and you will feel better, and he, in turn, will give helpful tips and help in pleading for your child who has gone astray. The main thing is to believe in the correction and only in this case everything will work out. When you pray in your home, try not to be distracted by anyone, light candles and ask questions.

Almighty God, Lord and Creator of all creation, fill everything with Your majesty and contain it with Your power! To you, our all-gifting Lord, we unworthily bring thanksgiving, as if you did not turn away our iniquities for the sake of us, but rather, you anticipate with Your mercies. Thou didst send Thy only-begotten Son to our deliverance, and proclaimed Thy immeasurable condescension to the human race: as if by desire, and expecting us to turn to Thee and be saved: comforting with saving faith and the perfect hope of eternal blessings, and guiding your chosen ones to the mountainous Zion, keeping like the apple of an eye. We confess, Lord, Your great and unapplied love of mankind and mercy. But seeing many encroachments, diligently Thee, all-good Lord, we pray: look at Thy Church, and see that Thy saving gospel is already and joyfully received, but the thorns of vanity and passions create it in some of little fruit, in some it is also fruitless, and by multiplication the iniquities of heresy, of schism, opposing Your gospel truth, depart from Your possessions, cut off Your grace and subject themselves to the judgment of Your Most Holy Word. Most Merciful and Omnipotent, do not be completely angry, Lord! Be merciful, Your Church prays to You, presenting to You the Head and Finisher of our salvation Jesus Christ, be merciful to us, strengthen us in orthodoxy by Your power, enlighten the eyes of the mind with Your Divine light, so that they may understand Your truth, soften their bitterness and open rumors, let them know your voice and turn to you our Savior. Correct, Lord, other corruption and life inconsistent with Christian piety: create, let us all live holy and blameless, and so saving faith will take root and be fruitful in our hearts. Turn not Thy face away from us, O Lord, requite us the joy of Thy salvation; give, O Lord, and the shepherds of Your Church holy zeal, and their concern for the salvation and conversion of those who err in the spirit of the gospel dissolve: yes, we will achieve this with all the leaders, where the fulfillment of faith, the fulfillment of hope and true love: and there from the faces of the purest heavenly powers we will glorify you our Lord , the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.

About the conversion of the erring one. Prayer to the Mother of God (St. Gabriel of Novgorod)
Oh, All-Merciful Lady, Virgin, Lady Mother of God, Queen of Heaven! By your birth, you saved the human race from the eternal torment of the devil: for from you Christ, our Savior, was born. Look with Your mercy on this (name) deprived of God's mercy and grace, intercede with Your motherly boldness and Your prayers from Your Son, Christ our God, so that He may send His grace from above on this perishing one. Oh Blessed One! You are the hope of the unreliable, You are the desperate salvation, may the enemy not rejoice over his soul!
From the forums
Lord our God, send Your grace from above and through the intercession of Your Mother, the Most Pure Theotokos, cast off the proud and impure demon from the soul (... name) and warm the cold heart with the warmth of the Holy Spirit (... name), so that he could listen to the crying voice from Holy Mother of the Catholic and Apostolic Church, who said: obey your mentors and submit, for they watch over your souls, who want to give a word and an answer before You, a terrible judge. Oh Lord, have mercy on our weakness.
Other sources
Lord, who have apostatized from the Orthodox faith and blinded by fatal heresies by the light of Your knowledge, enlighten and parables of Your holy Apostolic and Catholic Church.
For guests -
On the forums I met a lot of discussions about whether it is necessary to pray for the unbelievers and the lost at all. I don't want to get involved in the controversy. Everything seems to be clearly written in the Gospel "Love your neighbor as yourself" - "And who is my neighbor" - further see the Parable of the Good Samaritan. As far as I remember, the Samaritans were considered by the Jews to be ungodly and infidels. And according to Christ they must be loved. That is, one must love not the good and Orthodox, but one's neighbors, even if they are "bad" and "wrong."
So, save, Lord, all unbelievers, as well as those of little faith. Strengthen our faith and save everything!
Help, Lord, Lesha Tektonidi and his mother. Send the baby a speedy recovery, and give his mother patience!
God! Enlighten the lost (names), convert them to Your holy Church and save them by Your all-powerful grace! Keep us in Orthodoxy and the true faith, for you are blessed forever and ever.
