In life, one often has to deal with the intrigues of ill-wishers, the actions of people seeking to harm or simply offend. Many are looking for the reasons that others feel anger, envy, hostility, in their own actions, character traits, demeanor.
However, the person himself is not always directly or indirectly to blame for the hostile attitude of others. Even a person who lives righteously, does not commit any evil deeds and does not have bad intentions, is surrounded by envious people. Prayer helps believers cope with this situation. Such prayer does not guarantee protection from the offender, his actions and bad intentions, since it is not a miraculous spell. One should pray only with deep and sincere faith in the power of the Lord, without doubting it.
How to pray to John the Warrior
Christianity is a religion based on the principles of forgiveness and mercy. Accordingly, the prayer of a person suffering from someone else's evil deeds or experiencing resentment shouldbe filled with compassion for the ill-wishers. You should ask for forgiveness for those who do evil, and not for punishing them.
Prayer from the offender protecting, maybe like this:
“Martyr of the Lord, John, protecting Christians from fierce evil and pagan ignorance! Cast out my enemies, protect and have mercy on their ignorance. For they abide in the sin of envy, anger and wrath! Save, Saint John, my soul from pernicious desires, do not allow me to hold a grudge, send me meekness and patience, give me strength to forgive enemies. Amen"
