Prayer for the baby to sleep better
There are many reasons why a small child cannot fall asleep - noise, colic, teeth are cut and more. Accordingly, if the child does not sleep, then the parents do not sleep, because it is simply impossible to ignore the suffering of one's own crumbs. As a rule, if the baby has insomnia, they will immediately lead him to the doctor, but there are situations when the doctor claims that the child is absolutely healthy, just some external factor interferes with his sleep. In such a situation, prayer is considered the only salvation from insomnia for a child.
Praying that the child sleeps better is as follows:
- "Jesus, Son of God, bless, sanctify, save my child by the power of your Life-giving Cross."
After pronouncing these words, you need to baptize the child. It is worth noting that prayer becomes more effective if the child is already baptized.
Prayer for a good baby sleep to the Guardian Angel
Some people believe that every person has his own Guardian Angel from birth. Therefore, if any problems occur with the child - illness, insomnia, it is best to seek help from the Guardian Angel. Some people attribute this to the fact that God is one at all and simply is not able to help everyone, but the Guardian Angel is only responsible for one person, so it is more likely that he will help.
Praying to the Guardian Angel to sleep well sounds as follows:
- āDivine Angel, Guardian of my child (the name of the baby is indicated), cover him with your shield from demonic arrows, from the sugary seducer, keep his heart pure and bright. Amen".
An ideal option would be if the child independently reads the prayer to the Guardian Angel.
Praying that the child sleeps better, his Guardian Angel from his own mouth should read as follows:
- āMy protector, my Guardian Angel. Do not leave me in difficult times, save me from evil and envious people. Protect me from hateful people. Save me from evil eye and damage. Have mercy on me. Amen".
According to the ministers, the prayer that comes from the mouth of the child will have more power than it is from the mouth of the babyās mother to his Guardian Angel.
Prayer for the child to sleep well at night, Matrone
According to the opinion of a large number of priests, if there are any problems with the childās health (including the occurrence of insomnia), you should immediately pray to St. Matrona. It is she who is considered an aide to a large number of issues. To enhance the effect of prayer, it is recommended to buy at least a small icon with the face of this Saint. And in order to protect your child from the evil eye, it is recommended to sew a piece of incense in his clothes, which will need to be periodically changed.
If the mother begins to observe the childās sleep problems, then you need to turn to St. Matron with the following words:
- āHoly Matron! I ask you, conjure with all motherly love, ask the Lord to give health to his slave (the name of the child is indicated). I beg you, Holy Matron, do not be angry with me, but help me. Ask the Lord to give my child (the name of the child is indicated) good health. Delivered from various ailments both in the body and in the soul. Take all sorts of diseases away from his body. Please forgive me for all my sins, both those created by my will and those not created by my will. Say a prayer to the Lord about the health of my child (the name of the child is indicated). Only you, Holy Matron, can save my child from suffering. I trust in you. Amen".
Prayer for the improvement of children's sleep, addressed to the seven holy Ephesian ladies
Another effective prayer is that the child sleeps better, addressed to the seven holy Ephesian ladies.
Prayer words are usually spoken by the mother, and are as follows:
- āO saints of Ephesus, praise be to you and to the whole Universe! Look from the heights of heaven at us, people who stubbornly honor your memory, and especially look at our children. Save them from disease, heal their bodies and souls. Keep their souls clean. We worship your holy icon, and also sincerely love the Holy Trinity - the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen".
Prayer for a restful baby sleep, addressed to the Virgin and the Lord God
When a child has a broken schedule, namely, he sleeps during the day, and not at night, something must be done. Going to the doctors is expensive, and they are unlikely to help in this situation. The best option would be to cope on their own. The said prayer for the night before bedtime will help the Mother of God and the Lord God. The prayer is:
- āLord God, show your mercy on my child (name), save the child under your banner, hide from various temptations, drive away various enemies from him, close their evil eyes and ears, give them humility and kindness. Lord, we are all your creatures, I ask you, save my child (the name is indicated), make him repent if he has sins. Save my child, Lord, let him understand his word, guide him on the right path. Thank you, Lord. ā
This prayer for a childās sleep helps not only to cope with the problem of insomnia, but also aims to preserve the purity of the childās soul in adulthood.
Prayer Reading Features for Better Baby Sleep
Prayer for a childās night must be read from memory, if you donāt know the word, appeal to the saints or the Lord, then you canāt wait for first aid from them (quick help comes only to sincere believers). During the pronunciation of the appeal, you need to be in a calm emotional state and you need to constantly think about what you want to receive. If at the time of pronouncing a prayer a person does not really believe in the result, it is better to postpone its utterance until a later time.
Be sure to ask for forgiveness for all your sins when asking for help in improving baby sleep. This is due to the fact that a thin thread stretches between the mother and the child, and therefore all the sins of the parent are reflected on the baby. If, while uttering a prayer, the baby crumbs sincerely repents of all their sins and mistakes, then they will certainly respond to the petition.
Prayer for the night before going to bed should be uttered in a whisper and in the ear of the child. Such words can save the baby from negatively colored dreams.
