Each of us has moments in our lives when we simply need help from Above. In many everyday situations: in illnesses and illnesses; when applying for a job and at the beginning of any business; at a loss as to what to do and at a decision important issues; to preserve the family and when searching for our soul mate, we ask the Lord, the Mother of God and the saints to save, bless, preserve, protect and help us.

In a special need, it is best, in addition to lighting a candle and praying for what you ask, to order a prayer service and submit a note of health (repose) to the altar.

Which saints should we pray to for certain needs?

Turn to the Lord, especially if it concerns the correction of your life, repentance, recovery from addictions, passions. The closest Intercessor to us is the Most Pure Mother of God Who will always hear and bring your prayers to the Lord.

Of course, sometimes it is difficult for us to turn to the Lord Himself because we do not know how to do it correctly. But we have saints who always hear us, who will always bring your prayers to the Throne of God. They were once people too and understand all the sorrows of our earthly life. Therefore, it is often easy to contact them. In them we often find the most real faithful assistants and intercessors for our souls. You can ask any saint for any of your requests., especially if you have a special admiration for a certain saint. Many Orthodox Christians love St. Matronushka and ask her in every need and are heard. Some people prefer it Venerable Seraphim Sarovsky, to someone the Venerable Sebastian of Karaganda. It is important that you believe that the saint you are turning to hears you.

Some saints during their lifetime especially helped in certain situations. For example, Saint Luke Voino-Yasenetsky was a surgeon and he especially helps in prayer about operations and making the correct diagnosis. The Icon of the Kazan Mother of God once showed a miracle of healing a blind man, and now people often pray to her for sight and healing of blindness. During his lifetime, Saint Boniface, being a simple man, loved to drink, but then, as we know from his life, he suffered a martyr’s death for Christ. And who, no matter how he, should pray for deliverance from this passion. After all, he knew what it was, what kind of torment it was. That is why some saints have a kind of “specialization”.

It is very good to read his life about the saint you are addressing. Then, believe me, it will become much closer and clearer to you, and the prayer will be more sincere.

I would like to say very briefly here about one negative phenomenon that is associated with the veneration of saints. The fact is that some perceive saints approximately the same way the pagans perceived their gods - according to the principle “which saint helps with what.” Such people come into church and ask: “Which saint should I light a candle to get an apartment?”, “Which saint should I pray for a toothache?” etc.

We must remember that saints are not some gods from whom you can get something, and from each to their own. Saints are not experts in issuing apartments, stopping toothaches, or other similar things. There are, of course, saints who were doctors during their lifetime, and we turn to them with a request for healing, for example, the Holy Great Martyr Panteleimon. And indeed, through the prayers of such saints, many healings occur. But in no case should you use prayer to a saint as if it were some kind of idol that is needed only because you can get specific help from him.

Saints are first of all our heavenly friends who can help us in our progress on the path to salvation, on the path to God. And only secondarily saints are those who help us with specific everyday things.

So pray, the main thing is that your prayer comes from the depths of a warm heart and does not go against God’s will.

Anyone who wants to receive anything from the Lord or from the saints must not only pray to them, but also build his life according to the commandments. Through the Gospel, God appeals to everyone with a request to be kind, loving, humble, etc., but people often do not want to listen to this, but themselves ask Him to help them in business.

For prayers to be successful, you must pray with words coming from the heart, with faith and hope for God’s help. And it should be remembered that not everything that a person asks from the Lord is useful for him. The Lord is not a machine that fulfills all desires, you just have to press the right button, that everything He sends is aimed at the benefit and salvation of the soul, although sometimes people think this is unfair.

Which saints should I pray to?

Kristina Kondratieva, CEO icon painting workshop “Icon of the 21st century. Kuznetsov Letter" and the art gallery "Christina", answers the journalist's questions about whether turning to holy images can help get rid of alcohol addiction, how long this tradition has existed, what is the history of the appearance of the image of the Virgin Mary "Inexhaustible Chalice", etc.

I have a lot of problems modern man... Information overload, the rapid pace of life, a patchwork of phenomena and events, connected and unrelated, a wide range of indirect problems, and all this together completely absorbs the attention of a modern person, plunging him into an endless cycle of vanity. The soul is driven by the race of life, it lacks rest. His mind is not for a moment freed from the habit of scrolling through eternal questions within itself: “where to get money”, “how to get rid of diseases”, “how to create happy marriage", "how to overcome addictions to... (the list is almost endless)", "how to protect your children" and many others. Even on vacation, having changed the scenery, he is also tormented by them, because no matter where we go, there is no escape from problems - they relentlessly follow us, because they are locked inside us.

The soul suffers from the word mixer itching in the brain. She gets tired and loses strength when we realize that neither the advice of friends nor the numerous recipes from brochures on the topic “How to become happy, loved and rich” do not give the desired result. Then there remains the only authority, by appealing to which one can find deliverance from spiritual loneliness and defenselessness in the face of an abundance of life barriers, which are becoming more and more difficult to overcome. This is God's mercy, because when all earthly possibilities are exhausted, a person looks into the sky and realizes that he is ready to pray...

How to pray in front of an icon

But 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 saint to contact with questions 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 - you can find out which saint to pray for, 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 prayer rule, designed to concentrate the soul, concentrate attention, but you need to get used to it, and both circumstances and the soul ask for prayer right now, and then just start praying in front of the icon. Icon, like magnifying glass, collecting the scattered rays of the sun into one scorching ray, gathers the attention of the person praying, helps him to renounce the bustle of life, to remain alone with the saint to whom the prayer is addressed.

So, it is very important to remember that we do not pray to the icon - we venerate the icon as a shrine, but we must pray to the Prototype, the most holy one, invisibly present behind the image in front of which we stand.

Starting to pray to the saint in front of his icon, you need to come to a state of inner silence, inner silence, as far as possible, imagine yourself standing before someone invisible, but completely real, believe in what he hears, for it is given to us only by our faith .

The prayer is not fulfilled immediately, it is important not to lose faith. The word itself is something - used full appears, gains full-otu. Praying more and more fervently and more convincingly, we seem to full- We open the vessel of our prayer. And one more thing: sometimes a person does not seem to forget to pray to a saint, and prays fervently, but what he wants does not come and does not come. This is normal: what we want will not fall into our hands right away - circumstances must line up so that in the confusion of earthly life, where we ourselves have already made quite a mess, everything will work out harmoniously, and this takes time. There may be another thing - a person’s desire is not too pure, there is some kind of deceit in him before himself, or it is not useful for a person, for the salvation of his soul. After all, often in adults in their desires, people are like children who persistently ask for an extra portion of ice cream or candy, or something else that can harm them, but they themselves do not know this yet... Therefore, after all, the prayer should always end with the words: “... if it is possible it is the will of God.”

Of course, you can pray only in your own words, but in critical cases that require special, more serious prayerful zeal, you should prepare for prayer especially. Take the time to communicate with God, because He is always with us throughout the Infinity of Time and Space.

In front of the icons of the Lord, the Mother of God, and the saints, for those who are not accustomed to daily prayers, or perhaps are just beginning to get used to the prayer experience, it is important to know: to ask for yourself, for someone, for something you need, even Having cleansed my soul a little.

Before starting your prayers, or even the day before, try to forgive within yourself at least one of those with whom your relationship is not going well. in the best possible way. Then, of course, if you regularly abuse alcohol, you often swear, using words related to informal vocabulary, - this also greatly burdens the soul, you often get irritated, your prayer is deprived of the necessary strength. The whole point is that the bigger the flaws burdened the soul is a very accurate image, it really becomes severe, the more difficult it is for her to take off with prayer. Sometimes what we call heaviness in the soul is an understanding, often intuitive, unconscious, of our own internal problems, of conflict with ourselves. This is why the intercession of the Lady of Heaven and the saints is important for us - their pure prayers, not burdened by sin, holy intercession before the Lord help us get what we want.

To receive an answer to a prayer, it is very important to start it right and end it right. Therefore, when you come to the icon, try to focus on prayer, push aside everyday thoughts and worries, forget about them for a while, personally addressing the one to whom you are offering prayer.

Before you begin your prayers, give yourself the blessing sign of the cross and say: “In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” After reading a prayer to the Lord, or the Mother of God, or the saint to whom you are addressing, accepted according to general church rules - one, two, as the soul requires, proceed to the end of the petition in this way: read “It is worthy to eat...” 1, “Glory to the Father and the Son , and the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and forever and ever,” three times, making the sign of the cross: “Lord, have mercy,” then “Lord, Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Thy Most Pure Mother, reverend and God-bearing fathers ours and all saints, have mercy on us. Amen".

Then, having made the sign of the cross again and saying “In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit,” you can ask the saint in his own words to especially protect you from some event, to help you solve problems. Ask for everything that is boiling over, for yourself, for your loved ones, only by turning with all your heart to the one you are asking. And then, having expressed your request, say “Amen” again. And again sign yourself with the sign of the cross.

Of course, we ask the saints to pray for us, as if leaving the main zeal to them and pinning our hopes on their holy prayers for us. But it’s not a bad idea to work hard yourself in order to fulfill your own requests, and in those very special cases, pray regularly for 40 days. And if you add a post to this, it will be very good. If the time is not, in principle, fast, then you can not be very strict: do not eat meat and fish on Wednesdays and Fridays, remove excess from the daily diet - that which is not intended for normal, complete nutrition, but only for the sake of gastronomic pleasure, and do not overeat. However, if someone, because of an uneaten cutlet or piece of meat, has a desire to “eat” one of their neighbors, it is better to still eat the cutlet or this piece, since fasting is just a lazy person who didn’t say that! - not a diet, but spiritual growth and the purification of soul and body necessary for this purpose. And if a person, while fasting, no longer thinks about the salvation of the soul, but about how not to eat something extra, this is no longer fasting.

Which saint should you pray to on what occasions?

First of all, of course, we should pray in front of the image Savior Jesus Christ, He is the main healer of our souls and bodies. The Savior Himself gave humanity His image and thus laid the foundation for icon painting. According to church tradition, having washed His face, Jesus Christ placed His face on the plate given to him, that is, the four-pointed plate, and on this plate the image of the Divine Face was miraculously imprinted without human hands. Ubrus was handed over to the terminally ill Tsar Abgar, who fervently believed in Christ. Abgar prayed to the Savior before this miraculous image, and the disease receded, and a little later it completely disappeared. Saints - they mediately pray for us before Him at our requests, and He makes decisions based on their holy prayers. And everyone has something like a certain sphere of authority before God.

And, of course, intensely in all difficult cases need to pray Holy Mother of God, Queen of Heaven - She, “The most honorable Cherub and the most glorious without comparison Seraphim,” stands above all the saints and for us is the first Intercessor and Intercessor before Her Son and our Lord. At the hour of her Dormition, the Mother of God promised not to abandon the apostles and all Christians after Her death. The words of the Mother of God that she will be with humanity all the days and will always intercede for us before God are confirmed day after day. The Most Holy Theotokos never leaves those who turn to her with sincere prayer in trouble. All of us, Orthodox Christian believers, are under Her Mother's care. Her heart accommodates the grieving, the offended, the hungry, the overwhelmed, and the sick. various diseases. She accepts everyone who comes to Her with sincere faith and sends Her help.

Traditionally, they also ask for help from their Guardian Angel and your saint heavenly patron. According to church tradition, every person at Holy Baptism is given by the Lord an incorporeal guardian angel. At the same time, a person also has a holy heavenly patron, the one in whose honor the holy name (given in Baptism) is given, and, possibly, another, a connection with whom can be given by the Lord through prayer. All our lives our personal Guardian Angel is invisibly present next to us, praying to the Lord for us, and after our death he will justify us before God.

Be in prayerful connection with your Guardian Angel and saint heavenly patron very important, they are the first intercessors for us before God, they invisibly guide us along the right path, protect us from mistakes, we just need to be able to listen and hear them, such a spiritual connection is best born from prayer. With any question, trouble, or difficulty, we can turn to our patron saints. To have success in business, to avoid difficulties, to express our gratitude, we sincerely say the words of prayer, calling on the heavenly patron saint whose name we bear: “Pray to God for me, holy servant of God (name), as I diligently resort to you, a quick helper and prayer book for my soul.”

There are also separate the Saints, to whom we pray on special occasions, each of them received from the Lord a certain gift for their earthly work, and now the Lord works any miracles through their prayer for us. The Savior honored them all with the honor of being intercessors for us before God in various needs. These saints either themselves suffered a similar need or illness, or others received healing and help through them. Each of these saints who are prayed for some help, has something to do with this area.

From the lives of saints, we know that the grounds for a special prayerful appeal to a saint develop in different ways: some of the saints personally asked the Lord for the gift of helping people in specific life circumstances. Others had a revelation sent by God (for example, in a dream), in which it was reported that they had been given a gift to get rid of such and such a need, and after that the saints began to provide help to everyone who came to them. Trust in some saints was formed on the basis of “human rumor”, which created historical legends about them, and on the help that came from the saints.

Here it is appropriate to quote the words of the Deputy Chairman of the Department of External Affairs church connections Moscow Patriarchate Archpriest Father Vsevolod Chaplin:

“The patron of professions is chosen according to the deeds of the saint. This tradition has existed since Christian times immemorial. The Church specifically blesses us to consider this or that saint as a patron in business. Now it is usually announced by the Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus'. More recently, Alexy II blessed miners and all workers in the mining industry to turn to the Holy Great Martyr Barbara. But there is no list or “schedule” of how often and for what professions (narrow specializations or entire industries) a patron saint should be appointed.

If a patron has not yet been identified for your profession, you yourself can read the lives of the saints and find one whose deeds are related to your profession. For example, the patron of the Internet has not been officially announced, but as a result of discussions, Internet users themselves chose for themselves - some John the Evangelist, some Chrysostom.

Even better if this saint is your local. For example, there was a great martyr in your region who healed people with herbs, and you are a doctor - you pray to him.”

There are also saints whom people pray to, asking for help in any difficulties. These are the greatest saints who have been confirming their ambulance by sincere prayer to them. Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker, Saint Spyridon of Trimifuntsky, Saint Righteous John of Kronstadt, Saint Venerable Sergius of Radonezh, Saint Venerable Seraphim of Sarov, Saint Ambrose of Optina, Saint Mitrophan of Voronezh, Saint Blessed Xenia of Petersburg, Holy Blessed Matrona of Moscow and others.

And - let us remind you once again - without a doubt, we must remember that when we pray to a saint in front of an icon, we must direct our thoughts to the Lord, the Giver of all good things, since the prayer for us will be a saint, and its fulfillment will come from God.

There are also patron saints certain type activities. The Great Martyr Barbara is the patron of the mining industry, and the patron of workers in all industries in one way or another connected with finance (customs officers, accountants, stock brokers) is the holy Apostle Matthew. Since November 2000, Saint Apostle Matthew has been the patron of the Russian tax police. Patron of deputies State Duma and also the military leaders is Saint George the Victorious. It is customary to pray to the Great Martyr John the New, Sachavsky, who himself was a merchant, to Saint Nicholas of Myra, otherwise Nicholas the Wonderworker, and St. Nicholas the Saint for help in trade.

Skeptical people say that this “specialization” of saints has ancient pagan roots. But! After all, in the Kingdom of Heaven the uniqueness of the individual is preserved and increased. Is it the one who himself put his soul into this profession who has completely devoted his professional service to God, does not will understand better will he respond to a “fellow” by profession and not more “addressed”? Previously, each profession had its own heavenly patron. Since ancient times, the Apostle Andrew has been the patron saint of fishermen and sailors, later in the Russian tradition he becomes the patron saint Russian statehood and the Navy. Since ancient times, Saint Nicholas the Wonderworker has been the patron of sailors, merchants and children. Now, when new professions are appearing more and more often, many of them do not have their own heavenly patron, but sooner or later the question still arises of which saint to pray for success in newly emerging areas. How is the patron saint of new professions determined?

In Orthodoxy, patron saints are chosen much less often than in Catholicism, but they are still chosen. The procedure is quite simple. People, united by the desire and need to determine the patron saint of any region, submit a petition to the Church to obtain a patron saint. Next, the Church decides whether this is possible or not. In most cases, it becomes a saint who, during his earthly life, was related to this profession or to what it was intended for. Sometimes the patron saint of an industry becomes one of the saints whose memorial day coincides with the professional holiday of this industry. For example, the Special Purpose Missile Forces were formed on December 17, 1959, and when the question arose about the patron saint of the rocket men, the Holy Great Martyr Barbara was chosen, whose feast day in Orthodoxy also falls on December 17. Now the icon of St. Barbara is at almost every command post of missile divisions. It is worth noting that the Holy Great Martyr Barbara is also the heavenly patroness of miners and artillerymen.

Over time, Archangel Michael, the military leader of God's army, could not help but become the patron saint of the military, intelligence officers and bodyguards, and not only Christian ones. He is highly regarded by both Jews and Muslims. Archangel Michael is perhaps one of the most popular saints; greengrocers, artists, drivers, ambulance crews and water carriers consider him their patron, and later radiologists and specialists in radiotherapeutic treatment methods also began to consider him as their patron.

Archangel Gabriel, the messenger of God, who conveyed the words of God to the prophet Daniel, who announced to Zechariah the birth of his son, John the Baptist, as well as the good news for all humanity about the imminent birth of the Virgin Mary of the Divine Child, the Savior Jesus Christ, patronizes diplomats and postal employees. Apostle John the Theologian, who cares for the spread of Orthodox culture, who heard a revelation about the fate of the world on Mount Patmos and wrote it down in the book “Revelation (Apocalypse) of the Holy Apostle John the Theologian,” is the patron of book publishing and everyone related to books.

Saint Christopher, who lived as a hermit near a river stream and led travelers across it, became the heavenly patron of motorists, traffic police and travelers. According to the Life of the Saint, he once asked to be taken across the river young boy. Saint Christopher (before baptism - Offero) carried the child across the stream in his arms, but the weight of the boy almost crushed Offero. It turned out that Offero transferred Christ himself. Offero was immediately baptized by the Savior and received the name Christopher, which means the bearer of Christ. This episode in the life of the saint also made him the patron saint of professions associated with carrying heavy loads.

Saint Agapit, the holy great martyr and healer Panteleimon, the holy unmercenaries Cosmas and Damian, to whom we pray for healing, were doctors during their lifetime and never took payment for their help.

As a rule, the saints, helping us freely now, did not demand reward for their help during their earthly life, remembering that they perform miracles with the help of the grace of the Holy Spirit and keeping the Savior’s covenant: “Freely you have received, freely give.”

We pray to the Savior, the Most Holy Theotokos and the saints in front of their icons in order to find peace in our souls, to feel protection and support. And through our sincere prayer we receive help in one need or another.

Prayer for help in love

A prayer to the Almighty to attract the miracle of love into your life will help desperate people. Such requests instill hope in a person’s heart. A conversation with higher powers may not consist of memorized prayer phrases. Ask the Almighty in your own words for the gift of love and family happiness.

At dawn before going to bed, pray to the Lord to grant the miracle of love and reciprocity. You can write a prayer in your own words and wear the note as a talisman on your chest.

Prayer for marriage

Appeal to higher powers must come from the heart. Each word of prayer is a concentration on communication, a request for help in one’s troubles, sorrows, and anxieties. First, write down your wish on a piece of paper. This will help you understand your feelings and thoughts. You can describe point by point the spiritual qualities of the person you would like to see as your soul mate.

Be sure to think about what married life looks like and why it is needed. It happens that a person wants to get married only for status in society. That's why higher powers don't send him a soul mate.

Prayer Appeal about marriage - this is not only the fact of official marriage. This is a request for the gift of patience and wisdom in family life. This is the ability to pacify your selfishness for the benefit of the family. This is a request for children and grandchildren. This is a promise that every effort will be made to save the marriage.

However, the unstable economic situation in the world leads to the fact that even the most hardworking and previously successful person may find themselves without a livelihood. At such moments, a cold, sticky fear for their future creeps into everyone’s soul and covers them with despair. What to do in such a situation? How to deal with the problem and get back on your feet? Believers say that prayer for financial well-being can help get out of a difficult situation. For some reason, people resort to it as the last resort, not suspecting that the Lord will not leave a Christian without help and support, and therefore it is to him that they need to take their troubles and aspirations.

Is it possible to pray to God for money?

Many consider prayers for financial well-being to be a sinful act, because somehow it is not customary to ask for material things in a place where everything is permeated with spirituality. However, no one can deny that without money in modern world it is impossible to live, and in ancient times, financial well-being was also an important component of the life of any person. Therefore, if you still doubt whether you can ask the Almighty for help in solving material problems, then leave your fears - our Creator is kind and always ready to give us what we ask him for.

However, we should not forget about some nuances that should be observed by everyone who turns to higher powers with the hope of improving their financial condition. We will tell you about them now.

The main rule of prayer for money

Before praying for financial well-being, clergy advise to think carefully about why you need money. You should not make a request to higher powers if finance is an end in itself for you. Money cannot be loved on its own, because such an attitude leads to the awakening of self-interest, and this is already considered a sin.

Therefore, when saying a prayer, think about the benefits you need that the financial support you receive will bring. Money should be a vital necessity and a means to achieve one or another good goal.

It's even better if you're asking for money not just for yourself. In Orthodoxy, one who prays for loved ones and simply acquaintances not only helps them, but also receives a blessing from God for his prayer work.

Features of prayer for financial well-being

Orthodox Christians know well that, first of all, turning to God about money is a grateful prayer. No matter how contradictory this statement may seem to you, it is undoubtedly true.

If you are in a cramped situation, work on yourself. Perhaps this is why you are given problems. After all, some people are able to conduct some kind of analysis only when they find themselves in a difficult situation. Therefore, eradicate greed, envy, and stinginess in yourself. Try to provide all possible help to someone who is in even more distress. Such actions will make your soul purer and prepare you for real, sincere prayer.

However, before pronouncing it, do not forget to thank God for what you already have. Gratitude for small things is a sure way to get what you ask for.

Who should you pray to for financial well-being?

Prayers for financial well-being can be said not only to Jesus Christ, but also to the saints. Every believer understands that a certain saint is responsible for a specific area of ​​life.
