Prayers for Children

We are happy when our children are happy. So many worries and anxieties are connected with the birth of a child, and there are just as many troubles with growing children. We want them to grow up healthy and successful, to find their beloved life’s work, not to acquire bad habits, to stand against dangers, and to cope with difficulties in our challenging time. It is not always possible to help children with advice or financially. But one form of help remains unchanged and in demand at all times. It is our prayer for children: for their health, prosperous growth, for the increase of wisdom, good character, and life arrangement, for lost children, for travelers, for warriors. Such prayers are included in this book. You will find in it a canon for the sick, akathists to Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, to Saint Panteleimon the Great Martyr and Healer, and others. The undeniable value of the edition is 55 beautifully painted icons of the Savior, the Mother of God, and saints, to whom our prayers are addressed. The Lord is always with us, hears us, and does not leave without help those who pray for their children with faith and hope.
