Does prayer help? Prayer for illnesses of children and adults. Prayer before the icons of the Mother of God “Quench my sorrows” to calm the soul and heart in poverty

Help is coming!

Life in poverty, asceticism and fasting is the lot of the elect, a feat of monks and hermits who have received the blessing of the Lord for this. The lot of believers living in the world is honest work and a fair reward for it. The dream of living in abundance in a home, of a stable life and confidence in the future, of a secure old age and a good life for children is not a sin if a person earns his money honestly and does not forget to take care of the weak and poor.

The Lord's world is full of blessings for each of us, and everyone will find work in it according to their strengths and skills, and everyone can live in prosperity and joy if they build their lives according to the commandments of Christ.

However, this path is not always smooth and even - we often stumble and bring upon ourselves troubles, need, poverty, deception and losses. Why does this happen?

I have many such examples. I lived for some time in the courtyard of one of the monasteries, helping my friends in painting the temple. And at the beginning, I was not much of a believer and had no idea what faith is, I just had great respect for people who believe and the temples of God, what led me to faith was precisely what I saw how people change and what things happen to people because they believe or believed, in the world this is called miracles. Of course, it doesn’t help everyone, but only those who believe without guile and hope to gain some benefits for themselves. Unfortunately, most often people come to God not when they feel good, but only when they have trouble or have lost the meaning in life. I personally know a woman with cancer, whom the doctors gave up on, and with the last of her strength she came to church and the priest advised her to first of all confess and receive communion. And this was a turning point in the disease, now she feels not even bad.

Do you consider yourself a very rich person? No? This means that you are faced with a situation where you urgently need money. Few people think of prayer as a means of solving a problem. People rush between relatives, friends and banks, trying to re-borrow the missing amount, sometimes without even looking at the future. I mean, without thinking about such a “mundane” thing as the need to return money. But there is another way. Even if it borders on mysticism, it is not as rational as we are used to. Nevertheless, he has a right to exist.

Who will prayer help?

Let's figure out whether everyone can turn to faith when they urgently need money. Prayer is a means of communication with Higher Powers. How often do we do this? It makes sense. The point is not, as grandmothers say, that the Lord may be “offended” and not hear your requests. This, of course, is incredible nonsense. The point is whether you yourself will be able to create the necessary connection with what is the Almighty for you.

Every single girl dreams of finding true love, starting a family with a worthy person and being happy. But it happens that the years go by, and the other half never meets us on the path of life. Feelings are not subject to logic and rational analysis; the theory of probability cannot be applied to them or the point X can be calculated at which the paths of you and your chosen one will intersect. Feelings belong to the subtle world... one must believe in their acquisition.

It is believed that love is God himself. Therefore, who, if not Him, should pray for marriage? It is noteworthy that in Russian culture they have known about this since ancient times. Many church holidays - Peter's Day, Christmastide, Krasnaya Gorka - were inextricably linked with the beginning of the “wedding” season, matchmaking and marriage festivities. The Russian Orthodox Church has never condemned these undertakings, because the basis of its ideology is respect for the family. Moreover, in the Holy Scriptures there are words that “it is not good for a man to be alone.”

Prayer for money, for well-being, to Saint Spyridon of Trimifuntsky. In the Orthodox Church there are saints for “all occasions”, helping in all sorts of matters. There is also a saint to whom one can and should pray in times of need, to solve the housing problem, to improve material well-being; they pray to him when there is no money.

The name of this saint is Saint Spyridon, Bishop of Trimifuntsky (Salamin).

With a special gift from St. Spyridon of Trimifuntsky had power over the forces of nature. Spyridon of Trimifuntsky came from a simple peasant family, he was an ordinary shepherd, and therefore on the icons of St. Spiridon.

What prayers help you get married? We list it for you.

First prayer:

“My dear Lord! I ask You for my personal life, in the name of Jesus Christ! Lord, You said that it is not good for any person to be alone. That’s why I ask You, my dear Lord, to send me a life partner.

Let me, Lord, live a happy life with him, a long life. God, I pray, make my dear one live according to your Commandments, love me, and accept my love for him.

Please help me feel the difference between love and ordinary falling in love. Let him be with me, don’t hurt me, don’t upset me, let him pay attention to me. I beg you, make sure that my marriage, which You prepare for me, will take place.

Prayer is very powerful; Fulfills all desires (if it pleases Heaven, this means that you will not harm anyone with your desires, voluntarily or unwittingly); wishes are often fulfilled even before the end of the reading cycle.

1. Prayer to Saint Martha - Read 1 time
“Oh Saint Martha, You are Miraculous!
I turn to you for help! And completely in my needs, and you will be my helper in my trials! I promise you with gratitude that I will spread this prayer everywhere! I humbly and tearfully ask you to console me in my worries and hardships! I humbly, for the sake of the great joy that filled your heart, I tearfully ask you to take care of me and my family, so that we preserve our God in our hearts and thereby deserve the Saved Supreme Mediation, first of all, with the concern that now burdens me.

How to pray in front of an icon. Our life has historically developed in such a way that the majority of people, even having understood the need to turn to God, do not know how to speak to Him, in what words, and most importantly, how to prepare the soul for this communication and find out which of the saints to contact with questions in in certain cases, which saints to pray to, in front of which icons, who to call for help in troubles and sorrows. However, this is not the most difficult thing - which saint to pray for, you can find out, ask, and we, in turn, will help you find the answer to these questions. The hardest thing is to concentrate, to stop extraneous thoughts in your head that distract you during prayer, but, leaving heartfelt concentration, stretch a thread from your heart personally to the saint to whom you want to pray today. For those who do not have the skill in prayer, this action - stopping the whirlwind of thoughts in the head - can be very difficult. However, if you want your prayer to be heard, you need to try again and again. Of course have.

I started receiving letters with the same question - who should I pray to in order to conceive and give birth to a child? And I decided to create a page where I will try to clarify this issue for all those suffering.

So. Where should we begin our appeal to God?

You need to begin your prayer request with sincere repentance, rethinking your life from the moment of holy Baptism. In the desire to correct your life, to live with God, in peace, love and harmony with others. At the entrance to our monastery there is the following inscription: Listen to God in His commandments, so that He will hear your prayer. Review your entire life, all your actions, repent from your heart in confession, it is very advisable that both the wife and the husband do this. Here is a link to a list of sins that will help in preparing for confession

Full Confession

After confession, Holy Communion is necessary. Ask your priest about preparing for communion.

Nowadays you can buy different icons. You won't see anything in a church shop. There are hundreds of icons in some, try to figure out which one
needed. This is where questions arise: which icons should we pray to? Who should I pray to? Which saint? Let's try to figure out which icon is for what.

“THE HOLY TRINITY” - written by Andrei Rublev. The symbol of the “Trinity” is God the Father, God the Son, God the Holy Spirit. Or - wisdom, reason, love. One of the three main icons that should be in every home. In front of the icon they pray for forgiveness of sins. It is considered confessional.

“Iverskaya MOTHER OF GOD” is the keeper of the hearth. She is considered the patroness of all women, their helper and intercessor before the Lord. An icon used to remove the “crown of celibacy” from both men and women. In front of the icon they also pray for the healing of ailments.

Prayer in your own words

Is it possible to pray in your own words? Of course you can! After all, we are all very different. It is easier for some to read “ready-made prayers,” while others are simply not currently able to fully understand the meaning of the canonical prayers, and therefore cannot use them.

The holy fathers spoke a lot about prayers in their own words; Fathers often explain this issue to their parishioners.

Every person has the right to pray in his own words, and there are many examples of this. We see this in church families, when small children, imitating praying adults, raise their hands up, cross themselves, perhaps clumsily, take some books, babble some words. Metropolitan Nestor Kamchatsky in his book “My Kamchatka” recalls how he prayed as a child: “Lord, save me, dad, mom and my dog ​​Lily of the Valley.”

We know that priests pray for their children and their flock at home and in their cells.

The statement that Orthodox Christians or Catholics pray to icons is incorrect.

Orthodox or Catholics pray to God, not to icons. In the Catechism of the Orthodox Church, it is said that: “an icon is a visible image of the invisible God,” and an icon helps people tune in to prayer, it lifts thoughts from the earthly and vain to the Heavenly and Highest, that is, to God.

The Catechism also says that if we prayed ONLY to the icon, it would be idolatry, but as I said before and was said in the previous answer, people pray to God, and not to the icon, even if outwardly it may look different.

As for the form of prayer, even in the example of Jesus Christ, we can see that He more than once addressed God in other words, and not just in the words of the Lord’s Prayer. On the cross He asked the Father to forgive His murderers, in Gethsemane He asked that this cup be passed from Him - and at the same time He used words that were appropriate in a given situation.

“Angel” translated from Greek means “messenger, messenger.” His task is to convey God's will to people. Guardian Angel is a person’s protector and assistant in overcoming difficulties. It promotes spiritual growth and successful passage of life.

The Guardian Angel does not always manage to positively influence a person. Refusal of faith, a tendency to aggression and anger destroys the spiritual principle. Changes for the worse begin to occur in a person’s life - troubles, illnesses, failures.

The Icon of the Guardian Angel helps visualize the image. Helps you start communicating with your bright spirit. Through prayers, a person is able to restore the lost connection with his protector and take the path of goodness and purification.

Why is a Guardian Angel needed?

Guardian Angel is a mediator between man and God. He is a messenger of good thoughts and communicates through an inner voice. For Christians, the Guardian Angel is a protective spirit.

An icon in the Orthodox consciousness is not just a picturesque image of Jesus Christ, the Mother of God, Saints and sacred events, created in accordance with church canons. It is a representation of the spiritual field in physical space, expressed in a divine image exuding great grace that passes through the holy image like light through a window. The icon plays the role of a kind of spiritual intermediary between the earthly world and the divine world. Holy icons are revered by believers in all Christian lands. Since ancient times, people have made distant pilgrimages just to see the miraculous image with their own eyes, pray in front of it, talk about their troubles and hardships, and ask for help.

With all the reverence for iconographic images, it is worth noting that according to the canons of Orthodoxy, sincere prayer performed in the absence of icons (while traveling or other special circumstances) is just as beneficial and effective as before holy images.

What do the weak most often ask God for when they place candles in front of images? Live longer. And it turned out that the Almighty is responding. Even terminally ill people, if they sincerely pray and believe, can postpone their death until some specific date that is important to them. This was proven by the research of Dr. Donn Young from Ohio University.

The scientist turned to his state's mortality database and analyzed the medical records of 300 thousand people who died of cancer between 1989 and 2000. Jung took three special dates as a basis - Christmas, Thanksgiving and the patient's birthday - and began to see if the number of deaths decreased at this time. The result, of course, was not stunning, but impressive: almost 4,000 dying people - more than one percent - somehow inexplicably managed to postpone death until the next day immediately after the festivities. This means that death still has days off.

"Our Father" against harmful bacteria.

Scientists have recently begun to study the effect of prayers on the human body. Previously, the mutterings of priests were considered nonsense. But the very first scientific data surprised even hardened atheists.

The studies were conducted at Duke University in Durham (North Carolina, USA) and a local hospital. Scientists invited several monks, sisters and priests of various faiths to pray for 700 patients suffering from various heart ailments. For several days, doctors took notes on the condition of these patients, and when the experiment was completed, all the data was transferred to experts. And soon Professor Mitchell Krushoff reported the results: in 500 patients, thanks to prayer, the rate of recovery increased by about 93 percent.

“I don’t know why this happens,” the professor admits. “But I can assume that the work of the heart is beneficially influenced by concentration on the divine words of both the priests and the patients themselves. After all, the person for whom they pray or who prays himself is completely focused on communicating with the Almighty, and, probably, this leads to the normalization of many processes in the body that we have yet to study.

Later it turned out that prayer kills harmful bacteria not only in the human body, but also in water. St. Petersburg engineer-electrophysicist from the laboratory of medical and biological technologies "Research Institute of Industrial and Marine Medicine" Angelina Malakhovskaya, a member of the Union "Orthodox Scientists of Russia", has been studying the properties of seemingly unscientific phenomena for ten years: the power of the sign of the cross, the word of God and the healing properties of the saint water. Here's what she says:

I tested the effect of the Lord's Prayer and the Orthodox sign of the cross on pathogenic bacteria. For the study, water samples were taken from various reservoirs: wells, rivers, lakes, which contained E. coli and Staphylococcus aureus. It turned out that if you read the “Our Father” prayer and make the sign of the cross over the culture, the number of harmful bacteria decreases almost a hundred times.

Be like children and you will be saved.

But the real discovery, proving the power of prayer, was made by the head of the laboratory of neuro- and psychophysiology of the St. Petersburg Psychoneurological Research Institute. V. M. Bekhtereva, professor Valery Slezin.

Many psychiatrists and neurologists are aware of a phenomenon that is difficult to explain from a rational point of view, when after prayer mental disorders are alleviated, and patients who were considered incurable sometimes recover, says Dr. Slesin. - Even the great Russian psychiatrist Vladimir Bekhterev said about his patients: “Let this one take medication, but this one better go to the priest.” Experiments have shown what exactly happens to the brain during prayer.

We invited Orthodox priests and seminarians and asked them to pray fervently. While the subjects were whispering their prayers, we took an electroencephalogram from them in order to use the device to track the processes occurring in the brain. And, to their surprise, they registered the phenomenon.

Until now, it has been customary to distinguish three main phases of the working brain: REM sleep, slow-wave sleep and wakefulness. Each of these phases has its own rhythm of biocurrents. And as it turned out during the experiment, during prayer the rhythm of the brain’s biocurrents slows down so much that it becomes possible to talk about the existence of a fourth state of consciousness - “prayerful wakefulness.” In this state, the brain actually turns off: active mental activity ceases, and it seems to me - although I cannot yet prove it - that consciousness begins to exist outside the body.

On an electroencephalograph, the scientist continues, the phenomenon looks like this. During wakefulness, the cerebral cortex of an adult generates alpha and beta rhythms of biocurrents with a frequency of 8 to 30 hertz. When our subjects immersed themselves in prayer, the rhythm of biocurrents slowed down to a frequency of only 3 hertz. These slow rhythms are called "delta rhythms" and are observed only in infants up to 2 - 3 months.

In some subjects, the encephalograph showed a complete absence of alpha and beta rhythms, only delta rhythms. From the point of view of neurophysiology, praying people seem to fall into childhood. It’s probably not for nothing that the Gospel says: be like children and you will be saved.

We believe that during prayer, pathological connections between brain neurons are destroyed, because a person stops thinking about the disease,” says Dr. Slesin. - Sometimes this leads to complete recovery of terminally ill people. Science knows of cases of cancer cure, but they require more careful study. You just have to believe and pray truly, earnestly, from the heart, otherwise there will be no healing effect.

TRY

Prayer for every infirmity

Lord Almighty, physician of souls and bodies, humble and exalt, punish and again heal; Visit our infirm brother (name) with Thy mercy, stretch out Thy arm, full of healing and medicine, and heal him, raise him from his bed and infirmity, rebuke the spirit of infirmity, leave from him every ulcer, every disease, every wound, every fire and shaking. And if there is sin or lawlessness in him, weaken, forsake, forgive, for the sake of philanthropy.

OPINION OF A PSYCHOLOGIST

Psychotherapist Georgy Pogodin: All ailments come from fears

The famous researcher Alain Bombard proved: a person who finds himself at sea after a shipwreck dies not from having nothing to eat or drink, not from a storm, but from fear. Bombar performed an experiment on himself: he lived in the ocean on a raft for a whole month without water or food - and survived due to the fact that he overcame fear. For the same reason, according to statistics, believers - among patients with cancer in an inoperable stage - live five years longer than atheists. Through prayer they relieve fears, feel that the world is frail and temporary, understand true values, finally calm down and thereby increase their immunity.

DOCTOR'S ADVICE

Candidate of Medical Sciences Igor Bragin: Divine singing will calm even a psychotic person

My colleagues, both here and abroad, have experimentally established that saying prayers helps people with high blood pressure and diabetics: in a few minutes the level of cholesterol in the blood decreases and metabolic processes are normalized. Praying is especially useful for those and for those who at times fall into deep depression and suffer from manic-depressive psychosis. In general, the more severe the disease, the more often a person turns to God for help. For example, scientists from Pasadena Theological Seminary and the University of California interviewed more than 400 patients with schizophrenia, severe forms of depression and some other mental illnesses. And they found that 80 percent of those surveyed turned to religion to cope with despair, attacks of aggressiveness or tearfulness.

Presented in abbreviation.

In difficult life moments, a person begins to seek help in prayers. Of course, science has not proven whether prayers help, but a huge number of people believe in it. There is nothing bad about this, so let’s try to look at what happens when a person prays.

Biorhythms of words

Scientists who have studied prayer have explored how prayer helps and have established the following facts. When reading a prayer, the sound rhythms formed by letters and words create certain frequency vibrations. They completely coincide with fluctuations in human biorhythms. Moreover, if a person has disorders caused by diseases or nervous conditions, then reading the prayer puts his biorhythms in order. It turns out that prayer heals, calms, improves mood, and sets one in a positive mood. In addition, if a person believes in God, then his psyche calms down from the fact that he communicated with him in prayer. In a word, prayer is valuable from all sides. It can only harm a person who has lost his mind on religious grounds.

Various prayers

Prayers can be very different, from general, classic (Our Father..., Alive in help, Virgin Mary, Hail...) to “specialized”. For example, a prayer to help get pregnant tells how the Mother of God conceived from the Holy Spirit, how a mother should have a child, how natural it is and that it is imperative to have children. I apologize for such a free presentation of the divine text, but the meaning of the speech is that in this prayer not only are biorhythms therapeutic, but also a program is imprinted into the brain that directs it to achieve the goal. Again, only advantages. That is why thousands of women testify that after reading the prayer, the long-awaited pregnancy occurred. The same applies to prayer to help you get married. In the text, her girlfriend is compared to a life-giving tree or river, and the marriage itself is compared to a scarf, to a cover, to the snow cover of the earth. With this prayer, a program is installed in a person that changes a woman’s behavior and attracts a serious relationship with her.

Prayers and rituals

There are prayers that require certain manipulations. For example, a prayer to help find a job assumes that it is read over some object that a person then carries with him to interviews. This could be a handkerchief, a notebook, a pen, etc. You need to prepare something, put it in front of the icons, light a candle, and read the prayer 12 times. This concludes the prayer, “Lord, help” are her last final words. If done correctly, the presence of the subject will help bring the negotiations to a logical positive end.

If we continue the conversation about prayers for marriage, they are most often accompanied by rituals. During such prayers, which are read on the October holiday of the Intercession, one must place the first snow that has fallen on the head, on the top of the head. If it is not yet in October, then you need to take a cup of water, take it outside at night and place it so that the Moon is reflected in the water. Prayers for love are also recited: for the ashes in the stove, for the wind on the street, for the full moon. At first glance, these actions are not tied to the meaning of prayer, but they can also be explained if we remember the biorhythms of the Moon, the directions and causes of the wind, the connection between natural phenomena and human actions. Therefore, pray, this is much better than coming up with cunning plans that help you but harm others.

So let the will of the Lord come true and you, saint, fulfill it. I ask you for a happy life for yourself and your family, and this will be the highest reward from the Lord for me. Hear me, heavenly angel, and help me, fulfill the will of God. Amen.

Prayer of the holy righteous John of Kronstadt, protecting from falling

God! I am a miracle of Your goodness, wisdom, omnipotence, since You brought me from non-existence into existence, since I am preserved by You in existence until now, since I have, by the goodness, generosity and love of Your only begotten Son, to inherit eternal life, if I remain faithful to You, since by a terrible sacred act sacrificing Myself by Your Son, I am raised from a terrible fall, redeemed from eternal destruction. I praise Your goodness, Your infinite power. Your wisdom!

My patron, my intercessor in the face of the One Christian God! Holy angel, I appeal to you with a prayer for the salvation of my soul. A test of faith came down from the Lord to me, a wretched one, for our Father God loved me. Help me, saint, to endure the test from the Lord, for I am weak and I am afraid that I will not be able to withstand my suffering. Bright angel, descend to me, send down great wisdom on my head so that I can listen very sensitively to the word of God. Strengthen my faith, angel, so that there are no temptations before me and I pass my test. Like a blind man walking through the mud, without knowing it, I will walk with you among the vices and abominations of the earth, not raising my eyes to them, but in vain only to the Lord. Amen.

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos, protecting from despair

Amen.

May I desire nothing else in this world, O Lord, but day and night may I seek You, my Lord: and may I find, receive eternal treasure, and may acquire wealth, and may I be worthy of all blessings.

Prayer against poverty

You, O Lord, are our wealth, and therefore we lack nothing. With You we desire nothing, neither in heaven nor on earth. In You we enjoy indescribably great bliss, which the whole world cannot give us.

Prayer to Saint John the Merciful, Patriarch of Alexandria

Saint John of God, merciful protector of the orphans and those in misfortune! 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, to console the mourning 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.

Prayer for those who have kept their jobs

Life has changed: colleagues were laid off and left without work. Suddenly everything that seemed stable was now so fragile. It's hard to express what I feel: sadness, guilt, fears about the future. Who will be next? How will I cope with increased workload? Lord Jesus, in the midst of this uncertainty, help me to continue on my path: to work in the best way, living with the worries of one day, and taking time every day to be with You. Because You are the way, the truth and the life. Amen.

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 to cleanse those defiled by sins, to heal my soul and body, ulcerated by sins! 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 me 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.

Prayer to the Guardian Angel for protection from those in power

By the will of the Lord you were sent to me, my guardian angel, protector and trustee. Therefore, I appeal to you in difficult times in my prayer, so that you protect me from great trouble. Those invested with earthly power oppress me, and I have no other defense than the heavenly power, which stands over us all and rules our world. 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 testing me with this. 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.

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

Prayer to protect against intrigue at work

Merciful Lord, now and forever delay and delay until the time is right all the plans around me about my transfer, dismissal, displacement, expulsion.

The everlasting psalter of repose

The indefatigable Psalter is read not only about health, but also about peace. Since ancient times, ordering a commemoration on the Everlasting Psalter has been considered a great alms for a departed soul.

It is also good to order the Indestructible Psalter for yourself; you will feel the support. And one more important point, but far from the least important,
There is eternal remembrance on the Indestructible Psalter. It seems expensive, but the result is more than millions of times more than the money spent. If this is still not possible, then you can order for a shorter period. It's also good to read for yourself.

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, not patient to see the idolatry and wickedness of the sons of Israel, the lawless king Aha-av, who denounced the lawbreaking king Aha-ab and, as punishment for those, a three-year famine on the land of Israel, through your prayer from the Lord, having asked the widow of Zarephat in the famine wonderfully nourished and her son died through your prayer, resurrected, after the passage of the time of famine, the people of Israel were gathered on Mount Carmel for apostasy and wickedness, reproaching the same fire for your sacrifice from heaven, and by this miracle Israel turned to the Lord, the cold prophets of Baal were put to shame and died, and yet with prayer he 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 zealously resort to sin and humility, in the absence of rain and in 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 do not walk in the fear of God and in the ways of the commandments Him, but in the lusts of our depraved hearts, and without shame we have created every form of sin: for 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, First of all, our hearts were closed with mercy and true love: for this reason, the earth hardened and became 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 were not imams: for this Because of this, every grain and grass has withered away, as if every good feeling had dried up in 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 of you, the prophet of God, to beg: you, having been servile to us as a man, became like an angel in your life, and like an incorporeal being, you were caught up in heaven, while we, with our cold thoughts and deeds, became like dumb cattle, and created our soul like flesh: you surprised angels and men with fasting and vigil, but we, indulging in intemperance and lust, are likened to senseless cattle: you were constantly burning with the utmost zeal for the glory of God, but we are about our glory It is an evil shame to confess the Creator and Lord negligently, to confess 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 so 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 great-gifted and all-generous God, so that he will not be completely angry with us and May it 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 with 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 , who did not bow their knees 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.

I pray to you and I cry to you: do not disdain me, who is filthy, raise up the one who has fallen through sinful laziness, just as you raised up the lame from the womb in Lystrek with your mother: and just as you revived Eutyches, who was dead, raise me up from dead deeds: and just as through your prayer You once shook the foundation of the prison and you freed the prisoners; now tear me out to do the will of God. For you can do all things by the authority given to you from Christ God; to Him belongs all glory, honor and worship, with His Beginning Father, and with His Most Holy and Good and Life-Giving Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.

Prayer in a situation when things and business are going badly

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 weighs 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, leave me my strength, and the light of my eyes, and that one will not be with me. My friends and my sincere ones are right near me and stasha, and my neighbors are far away from me, stasha and in need, seeking my soul, and seeking evil for me, vain verbs and teaching to flatterers 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 reproach 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. Here come to my help, 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, quick to help all those 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 feat, accepting the wounds of martyrdom, the shattering 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.

Appendix ABOUT PRAYER

What is prayer?

Modern man, even the most religious, the most “churched,” quite often gets confused in matters of prayer. Some of us are sure that only canonical (i.e., taken from the Prayer Book) prayers help achieve the desired result. Others think that only fervent prayer, a request addressed to God in their own words, will help get rid of illnesses and any misfortunes. Still others do not consider it necessary to bother themselves with prayers at all: they say, the Lord already knows everything, sees everything, and will give each of us the necessary help.

So what is prayer?

Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh said this:

…it is very important to remember that prayer is a meeting, it is a relationship, and a deep relationship into which neither we nor God can be forced. And the fact that God can make His presence obvious to us or leave us with a feeling of His absence is already part of this living, real relationship...

Prayer is like a meeting. A meeting with the Mother of God, with the saints to whom we pray, a meeting with God. But we just have to admit to ourselves: do we want this meeting? Probably, almost each of us, asking ourselves a similar question, will answer it in the affirmative. Yes, we want! Our life is sometimes so complex, difficult, and confusing that we cannot cope with the problems ourselves. We need help from above. And even children understand this.

How should you pray?

You can pray in your own words; you can pray with a short prayer formula; You can use what are called “ready-made prayers.” What's better? What is healthier for our soul? How to make the right choice?

Let's talk a little about each type of prayer in more detail.

Canonical prayers

You can easily find canonical prayers, or so-called “ready-made prayers” for all occasions, in any Prayer Book. The canonical collections of prayers are arranged very conveniently: they contain Morning and Evening prayers, prayers to the Lord, prayers to the Mother of God and prayers to the saints. Some expanded Prayer Books also contain akathists, troparia, kontakia and magnifications for the Feasts of the Lord, the feasts of the Mother of God, saints and icons of the Mother of God. Which Prayer Book to choose depends only on you. At first, it is best to opt for the simplest, small Prayer Book.

How to use the Prayer Book? Of course, you can simply find this or that prayer in the table of contents: as a rule, it is immediately clear from the headings for what occasion the prayer is intended (“for the living,” “for the dead,” “for illnesses,” “for fear,” etc.). d.).

But this is probably not the most important thing. If we summarize the entire centuries-old experience of the Orthodox Church, in essence, it will immediately become obvious that you can pray to any saint, in front of any icon, as long as your prayer comes from the heart!

In the book “Learn to Pray!” Metropolitan Anthony of Sourozh wrote:

We have a rich selection of prayers that were suffered by ascetics of the faith and born in them by the Holy Spirit... It is important to find and know a sufficient number of them in order to find the appropriate prayers at the right time. The point is to learn by heart a sufficient number of significant passages from the psalms or from the prayers of the saints; Each of us is more sensitive to one passage or another. Mark for yourself those passages that touch you deeply, that are meaningful to you, that express something - about sin, or about bliss in God, or about struggle - that you already know from experience. Memorize these passages, because some day when you are so discouraged, so deep in despair that you cannot summon anything personal, no personal words, into your soul, you will find these passages floating to the surface and appearing before you, as a gift from God, as a gift to the Church, as a gift of holiness, replenishing the decline of our strength. Then we really need the prayers that we have memorized so that they have become part of us...

Unfortunately, too often we poorly grasp the meaning of the canonical prayers. An inexperienced person, picking up a Prayer Book, as a rule, does not understand many of the words in it. Well, what, for example, does the word “create” mean? Or the word "imam"? If you have an innate verbal sense, then “translating” incomprehensible words will not be so difficult for you. The word “create” is clearly derived from the word “creation”, that is, creation, creation; “create” means “create, create.” And “imam” is an old version of the word “I have,” and they have the same root. Only after you understand the meaning of the prayer texts can you begin to pray directly, otherwise your appeal to higher powers will be just a set of incomprehensible words for you. And, unfortunately, one cannot expect any effect from such a request.

No matter what position a person has or what status, he always needs help. He needs to gain self-confidence and have the inner strength to endure troubles. Therefore, you should use helping prayers that will help you with this.

The power of a word

It is believed that such treatment is a way of communicating with God, with the Higher Powers. Orthodox Christians, using it, find peace of mind and feel protected. At a time when sadness and melancholy overcome, support is needed when starting something, a prayer service always helps.

Its power also lies in the granting of spiritual balance and relief from many ailments.

Before starting pronunciation, you need to follow some recommendations:

• You should cleanse your soul and thoughts of bad things and negativity. Only a sincerely spoken text can help a person;
• Regularity is important in this case. In addition to reading in church, you can say words at home.

“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, just as we forgive our debtors; and do not lead us into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen".

“O Angel of God, my holy guardian, given to me from heaven by the Lord, I diligently pray to You, enlighten me today and save me from all evil, guide me to good deeds and direct me on the path of salvation. Amen".

To get rid of problems and everyday troubles, they use the Prayer to the Council of the 12 Apostles.

“Consecration of the apostles of Christ: Peter and Andrew, James and John, Philip and Bartholomew, Thomas and Matthew, James and Jude, Simon and Matthew! Hear our prayers and sighs, now offered by our contrite hearts, and help us, the servants of God (names), through your powerful intercession before the Lord, to get rid of all evil and enemy flattery, and to firmly preserve the Orthodox faith that you have firmly devoted to, in which your intercession will not We will not be diminished by wounds, rebuke, pestilence, or any wrath from our Creator, but we will live a peaceful life here and be honored to see good things on the land of the living, glorifying the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, the One in the Trinity, glorified and worshiped God, now and ever and forever and ever. Amen".

For human health

Often in prayer books people turn to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker for help. This believer is considered revered among many, who always helps to fulfill a request.

“All-blessed Father Nicholas! To the shepherd and teacher of all who flow by faith to your intercession, and who call you with warm prayer! Strive soon and deliver the flock of Christ from the wolves that are destroying it, and protect every Christian country and save the saints with your prayers from worldly rebellion, cowardice, invasion of foreigners and internecine warfare, from famine, flood, fire, sword and vain death. And just as you had mercy on three men sitting in prison, and you delivered them from the king’s wrath and the beating of the sword, so have mercy on me, in mind, word and deed, drying out the darkness of sins, and deliver me from the wrath of God and eternal punishment; for through your intercession and help, with His mercy and grace, Christ God will give me a quiet and sinless life to live in this world, and deliver me to the right hand with all the saints. Amen".

“May God rise again, and may His enemies be scattered, and may those who hate Him flee from His presence. As smoke disappears, let them disappear; as wax melts in the presence of fire, so let demons perish from the presence of those who love God and signify themselves with the sign of the cross, and who say in joy: Rejoice, Most Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, drive away the demons by force on you of our Lord Jesus Christ, who descended into hell and trampled upon the power the devil, and who gave us His Honest Cross to drive away every adversary. O Most Honest and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord! Help me with the Holy Virgin Mary and with all the saints forever. Amen".

“Benefactor, holy angel, my guardian forever and ever, as long as I live. Your ward is calling to you, hear me and come down to me. As you have done me good many times, do me good again. I am pure before God, I have not done anything wrong before people. I lived by faith before, I will continue to live by faith, and therefore the Lord has endowed me with His mercy and by His will you protect me from all adversity. So let the will of the Lord come true and you, saint, fulfill it. I ask you for a happy life for yourself and your family, and this will be the highest reward from the Lord for me. Hear me, heavenly angel, and help me, fulfill the will of God. Amen".

“The indefatigable Psalter is read not only about health, but also about peace. Since ancient times, ordering commemoration on the Everlasting Psalter has been considered a great alms for a departed soul.”

To strengthen the spirit

Prayer assistance is often used. This support is especially important in times of weakening spiritual strength, in difficult times.

Every time you feel this time approaching, you should always say these words.

In all unforeseen cases, do not let me forget that everything was sent down by You. Teach me to act directly and wisely with each member of my family, without confusing or upsetting anyone.

I praise Your goodness, Your infinite power. Your wisdom!

Strengthen my faith, angel, so that there are no temptations before me and I pass my test.

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, to console the mourning 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".

Pray to the compassion of God, the Lover of Mankind, not to judge us according to our iniquities, but to deal with us according to His mercy! Ask us from Christ and our God for a peaceful and serene life, mental and physical health, earthly prosperity and all abundance and prosperity in everything, and may we not turn the good things given to us from the generous God into evil, but into His glory and the glorification of your intercession ! Deliver everyone who comes to God with undoubted faith from all spiritual and physical troubles, from all yearnings and the devil’s slander! Be a comforter to the sad, a physician to the sick, a helper in times of adversity, a protector to the naked, a protector to widows, a protector to the orphans, a nourisher to the baby, a strengthener to the old, a wandering guide, a sailing helmsman, and intercede to everyone who requires your strong help, whatever is useful for salvation!

“I appeal to you with prayer, my benefactor and patron, my intercessor before the Lord God, holy angel of Christ. I appeal to you, for my barns have become poor, my stables stand empty.

And therefore I pray to you, saint, for I am honest before people and God, and my money has always been honest. And I did not take sin on my soul, but always profited according to God’s providence. Do not destroy me with hunger, do not oppress me with poverty. Do not allow the humble servant of God to die despised by all as a beggar, for I worked very hard for the glory of the Lord. Protect me, holy angel, my patron, from life in poverty, for I am innocent. Since I am guilty, then everything will be God’s will. Amen".
