In the most difficult moment, people turn their eyes and prayers to the Almighty. What words come to mind, what is the most powerful prayer that will help to be heard? Should it be prayers known and memorized by everyone, or can a person convey his despair to God in his own words?

How to pray?
This statement of the question is quite legitimate, because not every word has power. The most powerful prayer is the one that is said from the heart, with deep faith. Pray with the hope of "maybe" - and suddenly it will help! means wasting time. The holy fathers speak of one more thing: when you pray, you need to think only about the meaning of your words, about the person for whom you are asking the Almighty, you cannot be distracted, pronounce the words mechanically, distractedly.
What can you pray for?
About everything that is for the benefit of the one who prays and his neighbors. Selfish requests for great we alth or for deeds that bring evil to someone are not pleasing to God. Everything else that a person lives is in God's power.
A person prays for he alth for himself and his loved ones, for forgiveness for some sin, for success in business, for protection from evil people.
Certainly, the most powerful prayer is for children, because, like no other, it is pronounced with all passion, with tears, with deep hope. Maternal prayer can protect children from bad deeds and thoughts, from harm from unkind people. Why can you sometimes hear that mother's prayers do not help, but go sideways? Such a statement is ungodly and profoundly false. Here we can talk about something else. Often a mother may complain about failures with her children. And the mother does not always know what is good for them and what is bad. And therefore prayers become rather complaints, and even demands. Instead, you need to realize that her children are the children of God, and accept that only He can show the way, but not a mother or father. And yet - you need to look for the answer in yourself: for what sins does my child suffer? And this will be the most powerful prayer - the recognition that everything is the will of the Almighty.
What language to pray in?
Will anyone argue that God is one? All peoples and languages of the world have been given their own Name of God - this is where the mystery is that narrow-minded people who start religious wars cannot unravel. In each faith, the same ten commandments are pronounced in different words. All the sacred books describe the same mortal sins. The Almighty created all languages, and He understands every word in any of them. Pray in your native language, and do not mindlessly memorize texts in foreign dialects - this is where the truth lies. It should be clear that the mostthe strong prayer of the mother comes from her soul and is pronounced in simple words, this is a sacrament that she does not entrust to anyone except the Almighty. And He hears her.
What is a favorite prayer?
There is no secret here either: everyone has their own favorite prayer, born of their own problems and pains. She is the most powerful prayer. It can be long, or it can fit in one sentence. She can be repentant, humble, tearful - whatever, but these will be the words that can bring peace to the soul. Let everyone ask himself: what words ripen in my heart at a difficult moment? The author of these lines also has such a prayer, and it sounds very simple, but it is the main thing in life: “Oh, the Almighty, do not bring me to see that my children are ill, and I do not have the strength to help them. Amen . And in bad moments, other equally simple words come to mind that help to endure: “God, give me the strength to endure this!”
