Good help from above
The Orthodox prayer of Pansofius Athos has recently become very used among the churched and not very people. She is actively published in various prayer books, for example, such as the Prayer Shield. Some clergy bless the use of this text in difficult everyday circumstances. In addition, among the people, she is revered for her help in case of problems with work, this is a powerful tool in the expulsion of dark forces. They turn to her if they feel the threat of negative wishes, envy, hatred, aggression, unkind thoughts and plans, after unpleasant meetings.
Instructions
The action of the prayer can be significantly enhanced if it is read together with an akathist before the icon of the Theotokos "Seven Arrows" or with an akathist before the image of the Virgin "Indestructible Wall". In a short version, sacred texts dedicated to these images can be used. The spoken prayer of the detention of the elder Pansophius of Athos in tandem with one of the indicated akathists (prayer) will enhance the protective effect.
There are three options for working with the sacred text. The first is the simplest, that is, only the prayer of detention itself is read. In the second case, a prayer of one of the selected icons of the Virgin is added to it. Here the protective effect is already of medium strength. The third option is considered the most effective - using the prayer of detention and reading the Akathist to the Virgin. In addition, it is important to begin your secret appeal to the Heavenly Father with the prayer “Our Father”, which will be enough to say 1 time.
Recently, there has been a certain tendency to perceive sacred texts from the prayer book as something mystical. But prayers of such a plan should not have a magical attitude. Here you need to focus on feeling the spiritual unity with the Highest, so that his grace descends.
Some modern churchmen do not recommend resorting to the prayer of detention, introduced into Orthodoxy by the elder, because they saw signs of paganism in it. But this is what the God-wise Pansophius himself said: “You are embarrassed, as you write, by prayer to the saints and you are afraid that you will not be condemned in idolatry. No, our praying to the saints and honoring them has nothing idolatrous. It would be idolatry if we honored them as gods, but we honor them as servants of God and intercessors for us before God.”
