Why God doesn't answer prayer
Whoever turns away his ear from hearing the law, his prayer is an abomination.
(Prov.28:9)
For the eyes of the Lord [are directed] toward the righteous and His ears to their prayer, but the face of the Lord is against those who do evil (to destroy them from the earth).
(1 Peter 3:12)
(James 4:2,3)
Why do you call Me: Lord! God! - and do not do what I say?
(Luke 6:46)
Without faith it is impossible to please God; for he who comes to God must believe that He exists and is a rewarder of those who seek Him (Heb. 11:6).
How to Pray correctly.
And when you pray, don't be like the hypocrites who love to stop and pray in synagogues and on street corners in order to appear before people. Truly I tell you that they are already receiving their reward.
But you, when you pray, go into your room and, having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in secret; and your Father, who sees in secret, will reward you openly.
And when you pray, do not say too much, like the pagans, for they think that in their many words they will be heard;
Do not be like them, for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.
(Matt. 6:5-16)
Pray like this: Our Father who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name;
Thy kingdom come; Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven;
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;
and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For yours is
Kingdom and power and glory forever. Amen.
For if you forgive people their sins, your Heavenly Father will also forgive you,
and if you do not forgive people their sins, then your Father will not forgive you your sins.
Also, when you fast, do not be sad like the hypocrites, for they put on gloomy faces in order to appear to people as fasting. Truly I tell you that they are already receiving their reward.
(Matt. 6:5-16)
Remember the Story of Job, when he was asked to turn to one of the saints, Job replied: “But I would turn to God,” only God, who can give salvation and answer prayer. And praying to the saints is not the teaching of God, but of people. None of the biblical heroes prayed to the saints because... they were all simple people.
Call if there is someone who answers you. And which of the saints will you turn to?
(Job 5:1)
But I would turn to God, I would commit my work to God,
Who does great and unsearchable things, marvelous without number.
In six troubles he will save you, and in the seventh evil will not touch you
(Job 5:8-27)
Truly I also say to you that if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by My Father in heaven,
for where two or three are gathered in My name, there I am in the midst of them.
(Matt. 18:19,20)
Therefore I tell you: whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you receive it, and it will be done for you.
(Mark 11:24)
But let him ask with faith, without any doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, lifted and tossed by the wind.
Let such a person not think of receiving anything from the Lord.
(James 1:6,7)
Ponder your prayer.
Don't be hasty with your tongue, and let your heart not be in a hurry to utter a word before God; because God is in heaven and you are on earth; therefore let your words be few.
(Eccl. 5:1)
Forgive your neighbor's offense, and then through your prayer your sins will be forgiven.
And this is the boldness we have towards Him, that when we ask anything according to His will, He listens to us.
And when we know that He listens to us in everything we ask, we also know that we receive what we ask from Him.
(1 John 5:14,15)
If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.
If you love Me, keep My commandments.
And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Comforter, that he may be with you forever,
the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees Him nor knows Him; and you know Him, for He abides with you and will be in you.
(John 14:13-17)
And when you stand in prayer, forgive, If you have anything against anyone, so that your Heavenly Father may forgive you your sins.
If you do not forgive, then your Heavenly Father will not forgive you your sins.
(Mark 11:25-26)
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you;
For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened.
(Matt.7:7,8)
Jesus answered and said to them, “Truly I say to you, if you have faith and do not doubt, you will not only do what [was done] to the fig tree, but if you also say to this mountain, “Be taken up and thrown into the sea,” it will happen;
and whatever you ask in prayer with faith, you will receive.
(Matt. 21:21,22)
And if you ask the Father anything in My name, I will do it, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.
(John 14:13)
Therefore I tell you: Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you receive it, and it will be done for you.
(Mark 11:24)
So I wish that men would say prayers in every place, raising clean hands without anger or doubt;
(1 Timothy 2:8)
Some advice from the Bible
You desire, but you do not have; you kill and envy - and cannot achieve; you bicker and fight, and you do not have because you do not ask.
You ask and do not receive, because you ask not for good, but to use it for your lusts.
(James 4:2,3)
He also told them a parable about how one should always pray and not lose heart,
(Luke 18:1)
Likewise, the Spirit helps us in our weaknesses; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings that cannot be expressed.
He who searches the hearts knows what is the mind of the Spirit, because He intercedes for the saints according to the [will] of God.
(Rom.8:26,27)
watch and pray, so as not to fall into temptation: the spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.
(Matt. 26:41)
Confess your faults to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed: the fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
(James 5:16)
If anyone sees his brother sinning a sin that does not lead to death, then let him pray, and [God] will give him life, [that is,] the one who sins [a sin] that does not lead to death. There is a sin leading to death: I’m not talking about praying.
(1 John 5:16)
Always be happy. Pray without ceasing.
In everything give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you.
(1 Thess. 5:16-18)
So, first of all, I ask you to make prayers, petitions, supplications, thanksgivings for all people,
for kings and for all those in authority, so that we may lead a quiet and serene life in all godliness and purity,
for this is good and pleasing to God our Savior,
Who wants all people to be saved and to come to the knowledge of the truth.
(1 Tim. 2:1-4)
Psalm 90
1 He who dwells under the shelter of the Most High rests in the shadow of the Almighty,
2 He says to the Lord: “My refuge and my defense, my God in whom I trust!”
3 He will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, from the destructive plague,
4 He will overshadow you with His feathers, and under His wings you will be safe; shield and fence - His truth.
5 You will not fear the terrors of the night, nor the arrows that fly by day,
6 The plague that walks in darkness, the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand shall fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but will not come close to you:
8 Only you will look with your eyes and see the retribution of the wicked.
9 For you [said], “The Lord is my hope”; You have chosen the Most High as your refuge;
10 No evil will befall you, and no plague will come near your dwelling;
11 For he will command his angels concerning you, to guard you in all your ways:
12 They will carry you up in their hands, lest you dash your foot against a stone;
13 You will tread on the asp and basilisk; You will trample on the lion and the dragon.
14 “Because he has loved Me, I will deliver him; I will protect him, because he has known My name.
15 He will call to Me, and I will hear him; I am with him in sorrow; I will deliver him and glorify him,
16 I will satisfy him with long days, and show him My salvation."
(Ps.91:1-16)

Prayer to Saint John the Merciful, Patriarch of Alexandria
Saint John of God, merciful protector of the orphans and those in adversity! We resort to you and pray to you, Thy servants (names), as the quick patron of all who seek consolation from God in troubles and sorrows. Don’t stop praying to the Lord for everyone who flows to you with faith! You, having been filled with Christ’s love and goodness, appeared like a wonderful palace of the virtue of mercy and acquired for yourself the name “Merciful.” You were like a river, constantly flowing with generous mercies and abundantly watering all who thirst. We believe that after you moved from earth to heaven, the gift of sowing grace increased in you and that you became an inexhaustible vessel of all goodness. By your intercession and intercession before God, create “all kinds of joy,” so that everyone who comes running to you will find peace and tranquility: grant them comfort in temporary sorrows and help in everyday needs, instill in them the hope of eternal rest in the Kingdom of Heaven. In your life on earth, you were a refuge for everyone in every trouble and need, for the offended and ailing; not a single one of those who came to you and asked you for mercy was deprived of your grace. Likewise now, reigning with Christ in heaven, show all those who worship before your honest icon and pray for help and intercession. Not only did you yourself show mercy to the helpless, but you also raised the hearts of others to the consolation of the weak and to the charity of the poor. Move even now the hearts of the faithful to intercede for the orphans, comfort the mourners and reassure the needy. May the gifts of mercy not become scarce in them, and moreover, may there be peace and joy in them (and in this house that looks after the suffering) in the Holy Spirit - to the glory of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, forever and ever. Amen.

PRAYERS PROTECTING FROM JOB LOSS, UNKINDNESS OF COLLEAGUES AND BOARDS
In difficult times, you can suddenly lose everything: your job, your savings, the friendly attitude of your colleagues and bosses.

Prayer of the Persecuted
(Compiled by Saint Ignatius Brianchaninov)
I thank You, Lord and my God, for everything that has happened to me! I thank You for all the sorrows and temptations that You sent me for the cleansing of those defiled by sins, for healing ulcerated by sins my soul and body! Have mercy and save those instruments that You used to heal me: those people who insulted me. Bless them in this age and the next! Credit to them as virtue what they did for me! Give them abundant rewards from your eternal treasures.
What did I bring to You? What are acceptable sacrifices? I brought only sins, only violations of Your most Divine commandments. Forgive me, Lord, forgive the guilty one before You and before people! Forgive the unrequited! Grant me to be convinced and sincerely admit that I am a sinner! Grant me to reject crafty excuses! Grant me repentance! Grant me contrition of heart! Grant me meekness and humility! Grant love to my neighbors, immaculate love, the same to everyone, both those who console and those who grieve me! Grant me patience in all my sorrows! Die me to the world! Take away my sinful will from me and plant Your holy will in my heart, so that I may do it alone in deeds, words, thoughts, and feelings. Glory is due to you for everything! To you alone belongs the glory! My only asset is the shame of my face and the silence of my lips. Standing before Thy Last Judgment in my wretched prayer, I do not find in myself a single good deed, not a single dignity, and I stand, only enveloped from everywhere by the countless multitude of my sins, as if by a thick cloud and mist, with only one consolation in my soul: with hope in the unlimited Your mercy and goodness. Amen.

Holy angel, protect me from oppression and insults from those who have risen above me. Protect me from their injustice, for for this reason I suffer innocently. I forgive, as God taught, these people their sins against me, for the Lord has exalted those who were exalted above me and is thereby testing me. All this is the will of God, but from everything that is beyond the will of God, save me, my guardian angel. What I ask of you in my prayer. Amen.
Prayer to the Guardian Angel for protection from mistrust at work

For I am pure before people, just as I am pure before the Lord our God. Since I did not listen to the Lord, I greatly repent of this, for I did this out of thoughtlessness, but not out of evil intent to go against the word of God. I pray to you, angel of Christ, my holy protector and patron, protect the servant of God (name). Amen.
Prayer to the Guardian Angel for protection from misunderstandings with colleagues and superiors
My patron, heavenly angel, my bright guardian. I appeal to you for help, for I am in grave trouble. And this misfortune comes from a lack of understanding of people. Unable to see my good thoughts, people drive me away from them. And my heart is extremely wounded, for I am pure before people, and my conscience is clear. I have not conceived anything bad, contrary to God, therefore I pray to you, holy angel of the Lord, protect me from human misunderstanding, let them understand my good Christian deeds. Let them understand that I wish them well. Help me, holy one, protect me! Amen.
Prayer to the Guardian Angel for harmony in relationships with colleagues
Holy angel of Christ, your ward, the servant of God (name), calls to you in prayer. I ask you, saint, to protect me from discord and discord with my neighbors. For I am not guilty of anything before them, I am pure before them, as before the Lord. Since I have sinned against them and the Lord, I repent and pray for forgiveness, since it is not my fault, but the machinations of the evil one.

Prayer to the Prophet Elijah
You can pray to the Holy Glorious Prophet Elijah during times of rainlessness, drought, in the rain, for changes in the weather, as well as for successful trading, from hunger and in cases when you want to receive a prophecy, prophetic dreams.
The great and glorious prophet of God, Elijah, for the sake of your zeal for the glory of the Lord God Almighty, who could not bear to see the idolatry and wickedness of the sons of Israel, who denounced the lawbreaking king Achaav and, as punishment for those, a three-year famine on the land of Israel, through your prayer you asked from the Lord, the widow of Zarephath was wonderfully nourished in the famine and her son died through your prayer, resurrected, after the passage of the time of famine, the people of Israel were gathered to Mount Carmel for apostasy and wickedness, reproaching the same fire for your sacrifice from heaven, and miraculously turning Israel to the Lord, putting to shame the cold prophets of Baal and who put to death, yet through prayer again resolved the sky and asked for abundant rain on the earth, and the people of Israel rejoiced! To you, wonderful servant of God, we diligently resort to sin and humility, rainlessness and the heat of tomia: we confess that we are unworthy of the mercy and blessings of God, but we are worthy more than the fierce punishments of His wrath: for we did not walk in the passion of God and in the ways of His commandments, but in lusts of our depraved hearts, and we have created every kind of sin without cold: behold, our iniquities have surpassed our head, and we are not worthy to appear before the face of God and behold heaven: we also humbly confess that for this reason heaven was closed and, like brass, was created, before our first the heart is of mercy and true love: for this reason the earth has hardened and become barren, because the fruits of good deeds were not brought to our Lord: for this reason there was no rain, lower dew, like tears of tenderness and the life-giving dew of the thought of God, the imams did not: for this reason all grain and grass withered village, as if every good feeling has disappeared from us: for this reason the air has been darkened, as if our mind has been darkened with cold thoughts and our heart has been defiled with lawless lusts. We confess that we are unworthy and you, prophet of God, beg: you, having been servile to us as a man, became like an angel in your life, and like an incorporeal being, you were taken up into heaven, but we, with our cold thoughts and deeds, became like dumb cattle, and our soul our flesh as we have created: you surprised angels and men with fasting and vigil, but we, indulging in intemperance and voluptuousness, are likened to senseless cattle: you constantly burned with the utmost zeal for the glory of God, but we carelessly confess about the glory of our Creator and Lord We are ashamed of His venerable name: you have eradicated wickedness and evil customs, but we have served the spirit of this age, observing the customs of the world more than the commandments of God and the statutes of the church. What sin and untruth have we not created, and thus our iniquities have exhausted God’s patience! Moreover, the just Lord was righteously angry with us, and in His anger punished us. Moreover, knowing your great boldness before the Lord, and trusting in your love for the human race, we dare to pray to you, most praiseworthy prophet: be merciful to us, unworthy and indecent, beg the generous and all-generous God, so that he will not be completely angry with us and may he not destroy us with our iniquities, but may abundant and peaceful rain fall on the thirsty and parched earth, may it give it fruitfulness and the goodness of the air: bow your effective intercession to the mercy of the Heavenly King, not for us, for the sake of the sinful and nasty, but for the sake of His chosen servants, bend your knees before Those who did not bow down to the Baal of this world, for the sake of gentle babies, for the sake of dumb cattle and birds of the air, who suffer for our iniquity and are melted away by hunger, heat and thirst. Ask us with your favorable prayers from the Lord for the spirit of repentance and heartfelt tenderness, meekness and self-control, the spirit of love and patience, the spirit of the fear of God and piety, so that, having returned from the path of wickedness to the right path of virtue, we walk in the light of God’s commandments and achieve the good things promised to us , by the good will of the beginningless Father, by the love of His only begotten Son and by the grace of the All-Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.

Prayer in a situation when things and business are going badly
Psalm 37
Lord, do not reprove me with Your wrath; do not punish me with Your wrath. As Thy arrows have struck me, and Thou hast strengthened Thy hand upon me. There is no healing in my flesh from the face of Your wrath, there is no peace in my bones from the face of my sin. For my iniquities have exceeded my head, for a heavy burden is heavy upon me. My wounds have grown stale and rotten because of my madness. I suffered and sloshed to the end, walking around complaining all day. For my body is filled with reproach and there is no healing in my flesh. I would become embittered and humbled to death, roaring from the sighing of my heart. Lord, before You all my desire and my sighing are not hidden from You. My heart is confused, my strength has left me, and the light of my eyes has left me, and that one is not with me. My friends and my sincere ones have come close to me and stasha, and my neighbors are far away from me, stasha and needy, seeking my soul, and seeking evil for me, a vain verb and a flatterer, I have been learning all day long. As if I were deaf and did not hear, and because I was dumb and did not open my mouth. And as a man he would not hear, nor would he have reproof in his mouth. For in You, O Lord, I have trusted; You will hear, O Lord my God. As if he said: “Let my enemies never make me happy; and never can my feet move, but you speak against me.” As if I am ready for wounds, and my illness is before me. For I will proclaim my iniquity and take care of my sin. My enemies live and have become stronger than me, and have multiplied, hating me without truth. Those who repay me evil with a cart of good have slandered me, driving away goodness. Do not forsake me, O Lord my God, do not depart from me. Come to my help, O Lord of my salvation.
Prayer to the Guardian Angel for prosperity in business
Lord have mercy! Lord have mercy! Lord have mercy! Crossing my forehead with the holy sign of the cross, I am a servant of God, I give praise to the Lord and I pray to my holy angel for help. Holy angel, stand before me in this day and in the future! Be my assistant in my affairs. May I not anger God by any sin! But I will glorify him! May you show me worthy of the goodness of our Lord! Give me, angel, your help in my work, so that I can work for the good of man and for the glory of the Lord! Help me to be very strong against my enemy and the enemy of the human race. Help me, angel, to fulfill the will of the Lord and to be in harmony with the servants of God. Help me, angel, to carry out my work for the good of the people of the Lord and for the glory of the Lord. Help me, angel, to stand my ground for the good of the people of the Lord and for the glory of the Lord. Help me, angel, to prosper my work for the good of the people of the Lord and for the glory of the Lord! Amen.
Prayer for success in trading
Reading to the Great Martyr John the New about patronage in trade. Holy and glorious Great Martyr John, Christians have been taken away by the mighty, a merchant of all kinds, a quick helper to all who come running to you. You bought the deep sea, from the east, to the north, but the Lord God called you, like Matthew, you abandoned trade, and you followed him with the blood of torment, temporarily redeeming the impassable, and you accepted the invincible crown. Most praiseworthy John, you have neither the fierceness of the tormentor, nor the words of caress, nor the torment of rebuke, nor the bitter beating of Christ, but you have loved Him from infancy, and you prayed to Him to grant our souls peace and great mercy. Having been a steward of wisdom, a treasure of virtues, from there you drew Divine understanding. At the same time, I called you to zealously devote yourself to heroic deeds, accepting the wounds of martyrdom, the crushing of flesh and the exhaustion of blood, and now you live in the indescribable light of the martyrs. For this reason we cry out to you: pray to Christ the God of sins to grant forgiveness of sins to those who worship by faith with your holy relics. Crush the weapons of the wicked, the invincible warrior, unrighteously driven to your property, which you have chosen for yourself, having loved, and establish our fatherland, so that we too may quietly and peacefully live. Standing before the eternal light, blessed one, with the faces of martyrdom, praising you in your memory, save from temptation with your prayers. Amen.
Prayer for those involved in business and trade
God, rich in mercy and bounty, in whose right hand are all the treasures of the world! By the arrangement of Your all-good Providence, I am destined to buy and sell earthly goods to those who need and need them. O All-Bountiful, Most Merciful God! Overshadow my labors and occupations with your blessing, make me rich in living faith in You, make me rich in all generosity in accordance with Your will, and grant me that income that on earth consists of contentment with one’s condition, and in the future life opens doors Thy mercy! Yes, having been pardoned by your compassion, I glorify you, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, forever and ever. Amen.
Prayer for every good deed
Quick Intercessor and Mighty in help, present yourself now with the grace of Your power and bless, strengthen your servants to accomplish the good deeds.
Prayer at the end of the case
The fulfillment of all good things You are, my Christ, fill my soul with joy and gladness and save me, for I am the only One who is Most Merciful. Lord, glory to You.
For our readers: the strongest Orthodox prayers with detailed descriptions from various sources.
Prayers- this is a conscious appeal of a person (his living soul) to the Creator of the Universe (the Almighty, the Creator, the Lord God, Allah, Krishna, and the like) expressed in words, feelings, actions, emotions.
A prayerful attitude helps a person:
- concentrate,
- calm down,
- come to a state of equilibrium
- complete the task.
People have come up with many strong Orthodox prayers for all occasions, but there must be life in the word addressed to the Creator, God or Lord; this is not a simple mechanical repetition of rote phrases from Prayer Books and Prayer Books.
Strong Orthodox prayers are a stream of sincere, concentrated words and phrases coming from the very depths of the Soul, or Spiritual Heart, in which a person asks for forgiveness and remission of sins, asks for help in resolving serious difficult situations in life, where, as they say, there is a question of life and death.
In this publication, I offer to your attention several strong Orthodox prayers for all possible occasions in life in order to favorably resolve various everyday life issues.
Highest prayer: what is it, what is it like?
The highest prayer to the Creator of the Universe can be performed without any words. As we have already said, there must be life in the word. This means that the words of prayer must be spoken sincerely, and they must come from the depths of a person’s spiritual center - from the chest.
There are prayers without words - when you let go, accept life and those around you as they are, when you forgive those who betrayed, offended, humiliated, insulted you. This means that there is life in the word, and positive action in prayer.
The highest prayer is accomplished by enjoying life, glorifying and blessing everything. It is your feelings that work here, not just your head.
Real prayer is performed from the heart, this is when you say physically or mentally what first comes to your consciousness (mind), when you express feelings of gratitude and absolute acceptance of the environment and yourself as it or you are.
It also happens that just one minute of absolute supplication from fiery spiritual heart, is equivalent to several hours or days of meditation and prayer.
Strong Orthodox prayers for all occasions in life
Powerful Orthodox prayers for all occasions

- may your kingdom come,

Before starting anything, pray mentally
God bless!
At the end of every task
Glory to Thee, Lord!
Symbol of faith
- I believe in one God, the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible.
- And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only Begotten, Who was born of the Father before all ages;
- Light from Light, true God from true God, born, uncreated, consubstantial with the Father, by Him all things were.
- For our sake, man and our salvation came down from heaven and became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became human.
- He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate, and suffered and was buried. And he rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures.
- And ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of the Father.
- And again the future will be judged with glory by the living and the dead.

Prayer for healing diseases
This is a very powerful prayer. The best and strongest prayers for the soul and body, necessary in life, for the fulfillment of all your desires, for protection from the evil eye and damage, for well-being, abundance, wealth, love, happiness and prosperity.
“Do not bring indignation upon yourself with your prayer, but ask yourself what is worthy of God. And when you ask for what is worthy of God, do not give up until you receive it.” Saint Basil the Great
The law of God says: “Prayer is a conversation or conversation with God. Each of us feels and knows that the Lord loves him: “And I will be a Father to you, and you will be My sons and daughters,” says the Lord Almighty.
At any time, we can, like our parents, turn with prayer to God, to our heavenly Father, and to our mistress - the Mother of God. Prayer is necessary for us, like daily bread is for our soul. We have everything from God: life, abilities, wealth, health, food. Therefore, in moments of sadness or happiness and bright joy, we turn to God with prayer.

Oh, venerable one, from grave sins you have achieved wonderful virtues, help the slaves (name) who pray to you, who are drawn to destruction because they indulge in the immeasurable consumption of wine, harmful to the soul and body. Bow your merciful gaze on them, do not reject them or despise them, but listen to them as they come running to you.

Hear, Reverend Moses, their prayer, drive away the devil from them, grant them the strength to overcome their passion, help them, stretch out your hand, lead them from the slavery of passions and deliver them from wine drinking, so that they, renewed, in sobriety and a bright mind, will love abstinence and piety and eternally glorified the All-Good God, who always saves his creatures.

By Your sovereign power You created everything out of nothing and laid the foundation for everything that exists in the world - You created man in Your image and, with a sublime secret, sanctified the union of marriage as a foreshadowing of the mystery of the unity of Christ with the Church. Look, O Merciful One, on us, Thy servants, united in a marital union and begging for Thy help, may Thy mercy be upon us, may we be fruitful and may we see the sons of our sons even to the third and fourth generation and live to the desired old age and enter into The Kingdom of Heaven is by the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, to whom all glory, honor and worship is due with the Holy Spirit forever.

When difficult life situations arise and there is nowhere to wait for help, a person turns to the Almighty and the Saints in search of protection and patronage from above. It is the prayers that are created so that a person can independently protect himself and his family from negative impacts and problems.
Prayers reflect all human needs, aspirations and aspirations for the salvation of the soul. The meaning and mystery of prayer is that it is the universal Word of God, with which you can ask both for needs, for the blessing of your path, and for protection from evil spirits, from illness and from any misfortune.
Protective prayers are read in different cases: if there is any danger to life, during an attack by enemies, during demonic attacks.

1. The Lord's Prayer or “Our Father.”
If you feel that your soul is bad, you are haunted by failures, you are sick, and so on, read the “Our Father” nine times over nine days.
“Our Father, who art in heaven!
Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come,
Thy will be done as it is in heaven and on earth.
Give us this day our daily bread;
And forgive us our debts,
As we also leave our debtor,
And do not lead us into temptation,
But deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
Father and Son and Holy Spirit
And now, and forever, and forever and ever.
Amen!".
2. PRAYER TO THE HONORABLE CROSS.
In prayer we express our faith that the sign of the cross is the most powerful means of driving away demons, and we ask the Lord for spiritual help through the power of the Holy Cross. Mark yourself with a cross and say the Prayer:

As smoke disappears, let them disappear, as wax melts from the face of fire, so demons perish from the face of those who love God and signify themselves with the sign of the cross, and in joy say: Rejoice, Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, drive away the demons by the power of our drunken Lord Jesus Christ on you, who descended into hell and trampled upon the power of the devil, and who gave us His Honest Cross to drive away every adversary.

20. PSALM 90. (ALIVE IN HELP)
Living in the help of the Most High, he will settle in the shelter of the Heavenly God. Says the Lord: Thou art my Protector and my Refuge, my God, and I trust in Him. Yako Toy will deliver you from the snare of the trap, and from rebellious words. His cloak will overshadow you, and you will trust under His wing. His truth will surround you with a weapon, you will not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow that flies in the days, from the thing that passes in darkness, from the cloak and demon of the midday. Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will fall at your right hand, but it will not come close to you. Look before your eyes, and you will see the reward of sinners. For You, O Lord, are my hope, You have made the Most High your refuge. Evil will not come to you, and wound will not come close to your body. As His Angel commanded you, keep you in all your ways. They will lift you up in their arms, but not when you dash your foot against a stone. Tread on the asp and the basilisk, and cross the lion and the serpent. For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver; I will cover and because I have known My name. He will call to Me, and I will hear him; I am with him in sorrow, I will destroy him and glorify him; I will fill him with long days, and show him My salvation.
21. Psalm 50 or merciful.
Anyone who reads it every day will be pardoned by our God Himself, JESUS CHRIST.
Have mercy on me, O God, according to Your great mercy, and according to the multitude of Your mercies, cleanse my iniquity. Above all, wash me from my iniquity, and cleanse me from my sin; for I know my iniquity, and I will take away my sin before me. I have sinned and committed evil before You, the only One, so that You may be justified in Your glory, and triumph over the judgment of You. Behold, I was conceived in iniquities, and my mother gave birth to me in sins. Behold, you have loved the truth; You have revealed to me the unknown and secret wisdom of Yours. Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I will be cleansed; Wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. My hearing brings joy and joy; humble bones will rejoice. Turn Your face away from my sins and cleanse all my iniquities. Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew a right spirit in my womb. Do not cast me away from Your presence and do not take Your Holy Spirit from me. Reward me with the joy of Your salvation and strengthen me with the Lord’s Spirit. I will teach the wicked Your way, and the wicked will turn to You. Deliver me from bloodshed, O God, God of my salvation; My tongue will rejoice in Your righteousness. Lord, open my mouth, and my mouth will declare Your praise. As if you had desired sacrifices, you would have given them: you do not favor burnt offerings. The sacrifice to God is a broken spirit; God will not despise a broken and humble heart. Bless Zion, O Lord, with Your favor, and may the walls of Jerusalem be built. Then favor the sacrifice of righteousness, the offering and the burnt offering; Then they will place the bullock on Your altar.

Venerable Moses Murin
Oh, the great power of repentance! O immeasurable depth of God's mercy! You, Reverend Moses, were formerly a robber. You were horrified by your sins, grieved over them, and in repentance came to the monastery and there, in great lamentation over your iniquities and in difficult deeds, you spent your days until your death and received Christ’s grace of forgiveness and the gift of miracles. Oh, venerable one, from grave sins you have achieved wonderful virtues, help the slaves (name) who pray to you, who are drawn to destruction because they indulge in the immeasurable consumption of wine, harmful to the soul and body. Bow your merciful gaze on them, do not reject them or despise them, but listen to them as they come running to you. Pray, holy Moses, the Lord Christ, that He, the Merciful, will not reject them, and may the devil not rejoice at their death, but may the Lord have mercy on these powerless and unfortunate (name), who were possessed by the destructive passion of drunkenness, for we are all God’s creations and redeemed by the Most Pure One By the blood of His Son. Hear, Reverend Moses, their prayer, drive away the devil from them, grant them the strength to overcome their passion, help them, stretch out your hand, lead them from the slavery of passions and deliver them from wine drinking, so that they, renewed, in sobriety and a bright mind, will love abstinence and piety and eternally glorified the All-Good God, who always saves his creatures. Amen".
“I believe in One God the Father, Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, visible to all and invisible, in One Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of God, the Only Begotten, Who was born of the Father before all ages; Light from Light, God is truth and from God is truth, born, not created, consubstantial with the Father, by whom all things were. For our sake, man and our salvation came down from heaven and became incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and became human. He was crucified for us under Pontius Pilate and suffered and was buried. And rose again on the third day according to the Scriptures. And ascended into heaven, sitting at the right hand of the Father. And again the future will awaken the living and the dead, but His Kingdom will have no end. And in the Holy Spirit, the Life-Giving Lord, who proceeds from the Father. Let us worship and glorify those who spoke with the Father and the Son. Into the One Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church. I confess one baptism for the remission of sins. I hope for the Resurrection of the dead and the life of the next century. Amen".

The most powerful prayers for every day
When difficult life situations arise and there is nowhere to wait for help, a person turns to the Almighty and the Saints in search of protection and patronage from above.Someone reads prayers, and someone sincerely speaks to the Almighty. Very often a person can be haunted by a series of bad events and situations in which he simply cannot live normally. This may be due to witchcraft, external influence, envy, damage, etc. It is prayers that are created so that a person can independently protect himself and his family from negative influences and problems.
The most common and one of the most powerful daily prayers- "Our Father". However, there are other powerful prayers that are addressed to specific saints. Thanks to such prayers, a person can find peace of mind and achieve what he is doing. But this does not mean at all that it is enough to simply read a specific strong prayer and wait for heavenly grace to fall on you. It should be remembered that prayer, first of all, helps us take the righteous path, which we will have to follow ourselves.
All prayers according to the nature of the appeal are divided into:
- Praises in which God is glorified. Such prayers usually end with the words “ Glory to the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit»;
- Thanksgiving notes, in which we thank the Almighty;
- Petitions, in which the person praying for something or for someone asks;
- Repentant.
In Orthodoxy, there are three main prayers that every believer should know. They can be read in any life situation- This:
Strong prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker
When a streak of failures begins in their personal lives and at work, believers turn to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for help. When reading the prayer to the Pleasant, those praying believe that the patron saint Nicholas the Pleasant will definitely guide them to the truth. The prayer addressed to Nicholas the Pleasant for help has a very powerful effect and is the most popular among Christians. After all, Saint Nicholas worked miracles during his lifetime.The prayer to the Holy Saint for help will become even stronger if the believer is penetrated to the depths of his soul by the spoken words and believes to the end in the power of the Saint. Before you pray to Saint Nicholas for help, you need to mentally indicate your request. Only after this can you begin to pray for yourself, your family and those who are dear to you, without forgetting to be baptized.
Oh, all-holy Nicholas, exceedingly saintly servant of the Lord, our warm intercessor, and everywhere in sorrow a quick helper! Help me, a sinner and sad person in this present life, beg the Lord God to grant me forgiveness of all my sins, which I have sinned greatly from my youth, in all my life, in deed, word, thought and all my feelings; and at the end of my soul, help me the accursed, beg the Lord God, the Creator of all creation, to deliver me from airy ordeals and eternal torment: may I always glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, and your merciful intercession, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
More to Nikolai Ugodnik about the fulfillment of desires:
Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, saint of the Lord! During your life, you did not refuse people their requests, and now you help all those who suffer. Bless me, the servant of the Lord (name), for the speedy fulfillment of my deepest desires. Ask Our Lord to send His mercy and grace. May He not abandon my desired request. In the name of Our Lord, amen.
Strong prayer to Archangel Michael
Every day we meet a variety of people and not every such meeting can be pleasant. After all, in life there will always be a place for insults, quarrels and deception. Very often, friends turn into bitter enemies, wishing each other illnesses and troubles. It also happens that a person, with the goal of harming another, turns to a witch. To protect themselves and their loved ones from all sorts of troubles, believers turn to Archangel Michael for help, which will help them protect themselves from ill-wishers, the evil eye and other misfortunes.Archangel Michael is venerated Orthodox Church and is considered one of the most powerful protectors of the body and spirit of the believer. This is the supreme angel who is the leader of the Heavenly army.
The prayer to Archangel Michael is aimed at obtaining strong protection from:
- the evil eye and other witchcraft influences;
- evil one;
- tragic events;
- temptations;
- robberies and crimes.
Archangel Michael is addressed with the following words:
O Lord Great God, King Without Beginning, send, O Lord, Thy Archangel Michael to the aid of Thy servant (name), take me away from my enemies, visible and invisible! O Lord Archangel Michael, pour out myrrh of moisture on your servant (name). O Lord Michael the Archangel, destroyer of demons! Forbid all enemies who fight against me, make them like sheep and crush them like dust before the wind. O great Lord Michael the Archangel, six-winged first prince and commander of the heavenly powers, Cherub and Seraphim!
O God-pleasing Archangel Michael!
Be my help in everything: in insults, in sorrows, in sorrows, in deserts, at crossroads, on rivers and seas a quiet refuge! Deliver, Michael Archangel, from all the charms of the devil, when you hear me, your sinful servant (name), praying to you and calling on your holy name, hasten to my help, and hear my prayer, O Great Archangel Michael! Lead all those who oppose me with the power of the honorable life-giving cross of the Lord, with the prayers of the Most Holy Theotokos and the Holy Apostles, and St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, St. Andrew the Fool and the Holy Prophet of God Elijah, and the Holy Great Martyr Nikita and Eustathius, Reverend Father all the saints and martyr and all the holy heavenly powers. Amen.
There is also a shorter version of the prayer to Archangel Michael, which can be read at home and on the road:
Oh, Great Archangel Michael, help me, your sinful servant (name), deliver me from the coward, the flood, the fire, the sword and the flattering enemy, from the storm, from the invasion and from the evil one. Deliver me, your servant (name), great Archangel Michael, always, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen
Anyone can contact the main angel, regardless of race, faith and gender. Archangel Michael will help even a convinced atheist. He patronizes everyone and does not refuse his protection to anyone if a person with a pure heart turns to him.
Powerful prayers for work
Losing a job will be a real disaster for the family. Lack of financial stability instills fear and confusion in each of us. For an Orthodox Christian, praying for work is not a sin. After all, work is an important component of human socialization. And if you ask the saints for work with faith and from the heart, then your request will definitely be heard.But the question arises: which saint should I pray to help me find a job? Many professions have their own patron saints. But if a patron has not been identified for any profession, you can pray to the Almighty and the Mother of God. These prayers will also be answered. If a person knows only one prayer, “Our Father,” but reads it with faith, then his request for help in his work will reach heaven.
Among the most powerful prayers for work are the following:
To Nikolai Ugodnik:
I turn to you, Saint Nicholas, and ask for miraculous help. Let the search for a new job take place, and all difficulties suddenly dissolve. Let the boss not be angry, but teach. Let the salary be paid, and you like the work. Forgive me all my sins and do not leave me, as before, in difficult days. Let it be so. Amen
To Matryona of Moscow:
Blessed Elder Matrona, intercessor of all living on Earth. Ask the Lord God for mercy and forgive me my bad deeds. I tearfully pray and promise not to kill my soul with sinfulness. Help me find a job according to my intelligence and strength, and do not deprive me of good luck in a good endeavor. Intercede for me before the Lord and do not let my sinful soul perish. Amen
To Ksenia of Petersburg :
Mother Ksenia, help me make the right and correct decision. I don’t worry about my own wealth, but I worry about my little children. Help, teach, help with work, so that the children can drink and eat as much as they can. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen
Strong prayer call for help
Every person needs God's help in everyday affairs. Of course, one person can help another, but this is just mutual understanding and mutual support. But situations arise when only the Almighty can help. This is why Orthodox believers pray to the Lord God every day for help.These prayers can be written by Saints, long or short. But which words to pronounce, everyone decides for himself. After all, the main thing is not knowing all the prayers by heart, but a sincere appeal to God.
You can pray to God for help at any time, but it is best after waking up and before going to bed. After all, such prayer helps a person throughout the day. But before you ask God for help, you need to clearly formulate it in your mind. The request must be without pretense and guile. The best thing to do is to tell the Lord what is in your heart and what kind of help you need. But remember that it is forbidden to read a prayer in which you ask to harm another person. God will not fulfill such requests, and with such prayers you will only distance yourself from God.
The most powerful prayer is a call for help:
Lord Jesus Christ! Son of God! Protect us with Your holy angels and the prayers of our All-Pure Lady Theotokos and ever-Virgin Mary, by the power of the Honorable and Life-Giving Cross, the holy Archangel Michael of God and other ethereal heavenly powers, the holy prophet and Forerunner of the Baptist of the Lord John the Theologian, the Hieromartyr Cyprian and the Martyr Justina, St. Nicholas the Archbishop Peace of the Lycian Wonderworker, St. Nikita of Novgorod, St. Sergius and Nikon, Abbots of Radonezh, St. Seraphim the Wonderworker of Sarov, holy martyrs Faith, Hope, Love and their mother Sophia, saints and righteous Godfather Joachim and Anna, and all Your saints, help us, unworthy , servant of God (name). Deliver him from all slander of the enemy, from all evil, witchcraft, sorcery and crafty people, so that they may not be able to cause him any harm. Lord, with the light of Your radiance, save it for the morning, for the day, for the evening, for the coming sleep, and by the power of Your grace, turn away and remove all evil wickedness, acting at the instigation of the devil. Whoever thought and did, return their evil back to the underworld, for Yours is the Kingdom and the Power and the Glory of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit! Amen
Powerful prayers for good luck
It happens that at a certain moment fortune turns away from a person. Things seemed to be going well, everything was fine in business and in the family. And suddenly a streak of bad luck began. But don't despair! There is no trouble that Our Lord cannot remove from us.The most common cause of failure is separation from the Lord. Our mind and heart are filled with urgent matters and needs, among which there is no room for God. It is enough to return faith in God to your soul and with proper prayer to Our Lord you can regain your luck.
The three most powerful prayers for good luck are:
For good luck to the Almighty:
Lord, our Savior, our merciful Father! May my word fly up to Your Throne, may it not be lost in the prayers of others, may it not be defiled by sinful thoughts! You bless each of Your children to live a righteous and joyful life. You forgive and have mercy on every child who repents, healing with Your love and washing away the vices from the sinner’s brow. Those who constantly pray find peace and happiness at Your feet. Grant me, Lord, Your forgiveness and good luck in pious deeds pleasing to You. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen".
For good luck to the Guardian Angel:
Angel of God, why are you standing behind my back today and forever? You see every deed of mine, you hear every word, you read every thought. My sinful soul turns to you and asks for help. Pray with me to our Lord for my sins, past and future. Guide me on the true path leading to our Father. Help in righteous deeds, protect from evil. Bring prosperity into my life in the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen
For good luck to Nicholas the Wonderworker:
Nicholas the Wonderworker, God's Pleasant, our patron saint and benefactor! Take me under your gracious wing and bless my deeds with your prayer. Shield from the approaches of sin and help cleanse the soul from vices, in order to praise our Father and Creator. Use your hand to guide luck to help me. I humbly ask for your intercession both on the road and at my father’s house, both on the firmament of the earth and in the depths of the sea. I praise you, Nikolai, and your miracles! In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen
A very strong prayer for children to the Mother of God.
Every parent always worries about their child, regardless of his age. After all, a person of conscious age commits a wide variety of actions, including very terrible ones, which entail certain consequences. Therefore, mothers very often pray for their children who, under the influence of their friends, lead an incorrect lifestyle. And only parental prayer can protect even an adult child from making mistakes.In Christianity, children under seven years of age are considered sinless, and all responsibility for them lies with the parents. That is why parents should pray to the Almighty with requests for the health and well-being of the baby.
But no matter what age the child is, in order for the parent’s prayer to have the highest power, one must turn to a certain icon, in particular, Jesus Christ or the Mother of God. It is believed that the Mother of God is the patroness of motherhood and women, therefore it is in front of the image of the Blessed Virgin Mary that mothers most often pray for their children.
The icon of the Mother of God “The Leaping of the Baby,” dedicated to motherhood in general, is especially revered.
The Queen of Heaven is asked to help children with the words:
O Most Holy Lady Virgin Theotokos, save and preserve under Your shelter my children (names), all youths, young women and infants, baptized and nameless and carried in their mother’s womb. Cover them with the robe of Your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to their parents, beg my Lord and Your Son to grant them what is useful for their salvation. I entrust them to Thy maternal gaze, for Thou art the Divine Cover of Thy servants
Prayer for money
So that money can be found and earned
When a person experiences financial difficulties, cannot find a good, well-paid job, or constantly “loses” money. It seems like he’s doing everything right and knows how to handle money, but he still doesn’t have it. In such a situation, you can (and should) turn with a prayer for money to Saint Spyridon of Trimythous, to whom they pray in the absence of money.
O blessed Saint Spyridon! Beg the mercy of God, the Lover of Mankind, not to judge us for our iniquities, but to deal with us according to His mercy. Ask us, God's servants (names), from Christ and our God for a peaceful and serene life, mental and physical health. Deliver us from all spiritual and physical troubles, from all yearnings and the devil’s slander. Remember us at the throne of the Almighty and beg the Lord to grant us forgiveness of many of our sins, a comfortable and peaceful life, and grant us a shameless and peaceful death and eternal bliss in the future, so that we may continually send glory and thanksgiving to the Father and the Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
