The most powerful prayer for success. Powerful prayers for every day

On bright days and dark days Orthodox people they turn to God to give thanks for newfound joy or to receive support in grief. The Lord will hear everyone and reward everyone according to their needs. You can speak to heaven in your own words, in simple language, but the request expressed in is the shortest path to higher help.

General information

Prayer is communication Orthodox man with God, through which the believer feels the presence of God, his love and blessing.

No wonder prayer brings relief, warmth and joy. By praying, a person receives an answer from God, but in order to hear it, one must surrender completely to the process of communication. If a person is a sinner or reads a prayer mechanically, thinking about his own things, his conversion hits an invisible wall and does not reach the goal. In this case, you need to go to confession, take communion, and sincerely repent.

The more often a person turns to God and praises Him, the better for the soul. Unfortunately, most people remember prayer only during shocks, when help is needed or grief has occurred, but this is wrong. The soul needs prayer like the body needs food.

Psalm 90:

Most High, he will dwell 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 traps and from rebellious words,

His blanket will cover you, and under His wing you will hope: His truth will surround you with weapons.

Do not be afraid from the fear of the night, from the arrow flying in the days,

from the things that pass away in darkness, from the cloak, and the midday demon.

Thousands will fall from your country, and darkness will fall at your right hand, but it will not come near you,

Otherwise, look into your eyes and see the reward of sinners.

For You, O Lord, are my hope, You have made the Most High your refuge.

No evil will come to you, and no wound will come near 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 basilisk and cross the lion and the serpent.

For I have trusted in Me, and I will deliver, and 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.

About family

The most important thing is family. Neither work, nor friends, nor material wealth can replace warmth hearth and home, the care of loved ones, children's laughter. If there is peace among relatives, if there is peace and love in the house. Then any external adversity will recede.

Being a family is difficult. Different people, characters, outlook on life, and the difficulties of everyday life leave their mark. To strengthen the family, achieve mutual understanding, and protect yourself from harmful influences, you need to read special prayers to the Lord and the Mother of God.

To the Most Holy Theotokos about the family:

Most Blessed Lady, take my family under Your protection. Instill in the hearts of my husband and our children peace, love and non-questioning of all that is good; Do not allow anyone from my family to experience separation and difficult parting, to premature and sudden death without repentance. And save our house and all of us living in it from fiery ignition, thieves' attacks, every evil of the situation, various types of insurance and devilish obsession.
Yes, we too, collectively and separately, openly and secretly, will glorify Your Holy Name always, now and ever, and forever and ever. Amen. Most Holy Theotokos, save us!

Lord Heavenly Father! In the name of Jesus Christ I pray to You for my family happiness. Grant us in our family love for each other. Grant to us that our love may strengthen and multiply. Teach me to love my spouse with all my heart, teach me to love him (her) as You and Your Son Jesus Christ loved me. Grant me to understand what I need to remove from my life and what I need to learn so that we can have a happy family. Grant me wisdom in my behavior and in my words so that I never irritate or upset my spouse. Amen

It is important to understand that family troubles cannot be taken beyond the threshold of the house. Even parents should not be dedicated. IN difficult situation you need to pray earnestly and ask the Lord for help. If you cannot solve the problem on your own, both spouses need to go to a priest, who, from the point of view of biblical commandments, will analyze the situation and give advice on how to correct it.

About material well-being

Money, work, housing issues are an important component of our lives. If things are not going well, there are problems at work, you can’t buy or sell an apartment, you don’t have enough money to live on, you can’t pay off a loan - you need to turn to prayer. The saint performed many miracles, throughout his life he helped those in need and provided them with money to purchase what they needed. Therefore, it is Saint Spyridon who is approached with requests for help in selling or buying a house, for successfully concluding contracts, for increasing salaries, and so on.

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 God for our peaceful, 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 for many of our sins, grant us 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 the Spirit Holy, now and ever, and unto ages of ages. Amen.

How to pray?

Of course, it is more convenient to pray in silence, so that there are no distractions, but in some situations you can turn to God on the go. The location does not matter, the main thing is to do it with understanding.

Some tips:

Pass words through your heart, listen to yourself, take your time, speak with understanding
It is more correct to pronounce a short address than a long one, the meaning of which is unclear. Throughout the day, say short prayers, for example, “Lord, have mercy.” There is great power in phrases like these.
Do not strive to “take” in quantity: it is better to have one prayer without haste and with awareness of each line than a dozen said soullessly, automatically
Before you start communicating with God, you need to spend some time in silence and solitude so that the feelings that interfere with concentration go away
They pray standing or kneeling. Sitting or lying down is possible in case of illness or on the road
You should ask the Lord not only for yourself and your needs, but also for your loved ones: family, parents, friends. Especially if they are far away or there is a feeling of anxiety about them. It is useful to mention enemies when asking to forgive them
There is no need to harbor grudges, to envy your neighbors, to slander – there is no need to sin. Because sins build a wall between man and God, and the more sins, the higher it is. It can only be overcome by sincere repentance

Few people can independently understand the Bible and select parts of it suitable for prayer. Therefore, in church shops you can purchase Prayer Books, which contain the texts of prayers for any occasion. Usually the title indicates when to read the text. There are thematic collections: for pregnant women, about family, about health, and so on. If the meaning of the prayer is not clear, you need to go to church. The clergy will be happy to provide explanations for incomprehensible lines and advise what to do in a difficult life situation.

If the appeal to the Lord comes from the heart, then the answer will not be long in coming. The main thing in prayer is the feeling of touching God. Pray constantly and you will be heard.

Prayer is the faithful companion of any true Christian believer. An Orthodox Christian turns to the Lord and the saints in prayer in moments of joy and sorrow, in his bright and dark days. Orthodox prayers for all occasions, coming from the very heart of the believer, help in any situation, allowing the person praying to enlist the support of higher powers.

Prayer is not just a text endowed with hidden meaning. This is a means by which a believer can personally talk with God and be alone with Him. Prayer gives a Christian peace and tranquility, brings inner relief, pacifies state of mind(and sometimes this is exactly what is needed in difficult times).

Orthodox prayer is a sacrament in which the heart, soul, voice and mind of a person participate. This is an invisible thread that helps to establish a strong connection between the believer and the Creator. In order for the Almighty to hear the petition, a Christian must bare his heart before Him and become like Him, learning to love, forgive, compassion as the Lord did, and also to honor and sanctify Him.

Orthodox prayers help a person find a solution to the dead-end circumstances that life sometimes presents. They allow you to find answers to questions that concern a Christian, promote spiritual growth and strengthen faith in holy powers. A believer should not be embarrassed to trust in the help of the Almighty and His saints; one should not put off communicating with Him.

Of course, a person who wants to achieve the maximum effect from prayer is obliged to set certain demands on himself, in particular, to take care of the purity and selflessness of his soul. During the sacrament of prayer, the believer must eliminate all contradictions between his body, soul and thoughts and completely tune in to internal contact with the Lord.

Classification of Orthodox prayers

Not a single Orthodox Christian will doubt the power of prayers. But in order to use them correctly, it is not enough just to know their texts - it is important to have an idea of the classification of prayers and their purpose, of which text to turn to in a given situation. A person will be able to decide on the choice of the right prayer if he focuses on the inner call of his heart and takes a close look at the difficulty that has arisen in his life.

The Orthodox Church, of course, does not establish any official classification of prayers, but still, conditionally, according to the nature of the appeal, all prayer texts can be sorted into the following categories:

petitions- contain some kind of request;
repentant- contain repentance;
thanks- give thanks higher powers;
glorifying (praising)- glorify the Lord and His saints.

Prayer covers not only a person’s spiritual mood. It also affects his physiological characteristics, that is, his ability to rebuild his body for relaxation and upcoming contact with heavenly forces.

Prayers for specific categories

The defining criteria in the lives of most modern people are health, family well-being , financial stability And safety- only when they are combined can we talk about general - life - well-being. If any of these areas are not working out properly, Orthodox prayers can help correct and tighten it up.

Prayer to the Blessed Virgin Mary for health

This prayer can be said in moments of illness, in front of an icon of the Mother of God, in a temple or at home. In tandem with traditional drug treatment it speeds up recovery. An indispensable condition is that the person affected by the disease, or the one for whom they are praying, must be baptized. Text of the prayer in Russian:

How to use prayers correctly?

Orthodox prayer itself is quite different high efficiency. But in order for higher powers to hear it and provide the person praying with timely help, the prayer must be pronounced correctly.

Time for prayer appeal It is best to choose the morning or evening to visit the Higher Powers - this is the most favorable period, when a person is not overwhelmed by the bustle of the day, his consciousness is as free as possible, and his body is relaxed.
Before the sacrament of prayer begins, you need to concentrate and get rid of extraneous thoughts in your head. You should pray in a calm state, slowly, trying to understand the meaning of each word and letting it pass through yourself.
It's better to give preference short prayers, the content of which is understandable, rather than pronounce mechanically, without understanding, the prayers are long. And it’s better to take quality, not quantity. One prayer, said with understanding, from the bottom of the heart, will be much more useful than hundreds of soullessly read texts.
You must turn to higher powers either standing or kneeling. A sitting or lying position is allowed in case of illness or while traveling.
In prayer, you need to ask not only for yourself, but also for your family or friends, especially in moments of anxiety for them. You can also mention your ill-wishers and pray to God for their forgiveness.
A believer’s experience of prayer also makes its own adjustments. If a Christian has only recently come to religion, and his experience of prayer is very meager, the Church does not forbid him to turn to higher powers in his own words. Orthodox prayers will be easier for beginners if they pronounce the texts out loud, working on intonation and clearly pronouncing each word.
Prayers said within the walls of a place of worship are characterized by greater power, so you should not be afraid to go to church; moreover, you should visit it as often as possible.
You should never forget to glorify the Lord and be grateful to Him. For this purpose, prayers of gratitude and glorification can be read.

Many Orthodox Christians turn to all prayers for all occasions. But, unfortunately, not all representatives modern society know how to correctly use such prayers. In prayer you do not need to ask for the fulfillment of any of your desires. First of all, you need to appeal to the Lord with a request for the gift of reason and support, which will precisely help you find the right way out of established circumstances and achieve any goals. It is also necessary to lead the most righteous life possible, not to allow sinful passions to take possession of your soul, for sins build a wall between God and man.

On bright and dark days, Orthodox people turn to God to give thanks for newfound joy or to receive support in grief. The Lord will hear everyone and reward everyone according to their needs. You can address heaven in your own words, in simple language, but a request expressed in prayer is the shortest path to higher help.
