When do we resort to God? Most often in difficult situations. When it’s completely closed, as they say, people go to the temple. They begin to ask for help from the Savior. He will never refuse.
It is precisely at such moments when despair overtakes a person, and the most powerful Orthodox prayers are obtained. They come from the heart, a person cries out to God with all his heart, seeking protection and support.
Alas, but, having received what they want, people forget about God. Until the next time it gets bad. And He waits, patiently waits. Always ready to accept His child, comfort and strengthen him.
How to pray in this or that situation? To which of the saints to resort for help? How to pray to God and the Mother of God?
Prayer for children
Maternal prayer for children is strong. There is nothing stronger than her. No wonder they say that a mother’s prayer will get it from the bottom of the sea and bring it out of the fire. How many such cases are described in Orthodox literature. Sons went to war, and mothers prayed. Tearfully askedMother of God to protect their children. And the boys returned alive, went through the whole war without a single scratch.
Let me tell you an interesting story about the power of a mother's prayer. It happened not so long ago, today. There lived a man. He was distinguished by a hot temper: he was honest, he fought against the injustice of this world. Lies and envy could not stand the spirit, as well as flattery. But at some point too much injustice surrounded him. And according to the old Russian tradition, the man found consolation in vodka.
He had an old mother. She prayed for her son, asked for the help of the Lord, the Mother of God and the saints. She also asked her son to go to the temple, to the priest. But he did not want to hear anything about the church, continuing to revel in wine.
In the meantime, the first "bells" for him began. The heart took. Managed to save, lay in the hospital, returned quiet. The mother continues to pray for her son, and he soon resumed his own. And again the bell - the heart again. And they save him again. But this time the man understands that soon the end will come to him. And asks to call the priest.
The priest comes, confesses the sick for more than two hours, takes communion and unction. The same day the man dies.
Sounds like a bad example. The man died, where is the help of God? Yes, he died. But he died as a Christian. After confession and communion. There is a belief that if a person takes communion on the day of death, he will go straight to heaven. The old woman prayed for her son.
Here it is - the power of maternal prayer for children. Where to find suchprayer if there is no prayer book in the house? We publish right here in the article.
Prayer for children, to the Lord Jesus Christ
Sweet Jesus, God of my heart! You gave me children according to the flesh, they are Yours according to your soul; You have redeemed both my soul and theirs with Your priceless blood. For the sake of Your Divine blood, I beg You, my sweetest Savior: by Your grace, touch the hearts of my children (names) and my godchildren (names), protect them with Your Divine fear, keep them from evil inclinations and habits, direct them to the bright path their life to all the good and saving ones, arrange their fate, as if You yourself want it, and save their souls, in the image of fate.
Prayer for children to the Blessed Virgin Mary
O Most Holy Lady Virgin Mother of God, save and save under Your roof my children (names), all youths, maidens and babies, baptized and nameless and carried in the womb of the mother. Cover them with the robe of Your motherhood, keep them in the fear of God and in obedience to your parents, implore my Lord and Your Son, may He grant them useful things for their salvation. I entrust them to Your Motherly care, as You are the Divine Cover of Your servants.
The prayer rule is small. It's easy to learn. If it doesn’t work with reading prayers from memory, rewrite or print for yourself.
How to pray to a father for children?
Here we are all talking about the power of motherly prayers. But what about the father? Is he on the sidelines? Of course not. Father isprotector of the family and its support. Both from a worldly and spiritual point of view.
Strong Orthodox protection - a father's prayer for a son or daughter. There are no special "daddy" prayer rules. Therefore, he prays the same way as his mother. Reading the same prayers. Or, in his own words, he asks for God's help and the intercession of the Mother of God for the children.
Prayer for Godchildren
Is there a strong Orthodox prayer for a spiritual daughter? All prayers have the same power. And they do not depend on their own words, but on how hard a person prays.
Praying for godchildren is essential. Receivers from the font instruct their spiritual children on the path of piety. Teach them to live with God. Unfortunately, in our time, the true meaning of godparents in the life of a godson is somewhat distorted. It is believed that the godfather is the second parent. So the second parents take care of the external well-being of their spiritual child. Buying expensive gifts, entertainment, catering to the needs of the child. And they forget about the most important thing. The godfather is not a money bag, which should satisfy the worldly desires of the child. A heavier responsibility falls on his shoulders - mentoring on the spiritual path.
What are Orthodox prayers for spiritual children? Here they are, study and adopt:
On the upbringing of children and godchildren by good Christians
God, our merciful and heavenly Father! Have mercy on our children (names) and our godchildren (names), for whom we humbly pray to You and whom we commit to Your care and protection. Put strong faith in them, teach themto revere Thee and make them worthy to love Thee, our Creator and Savior. Guide them, O God, on the path of truth and goodness, so that they do everything for the glory of Your name. Teach them to live piously and virtuously, to be good Christians and useful people. Give them he alth of mind and body and success in their labors. Deliver them from the cunning machinations of the devil, from numerous temptations, from bad passions and from all kinds of wicked and disorderly people. For the sake of Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, through the prayers of His Most Pure Mother and all the saints, bring them to the quiet haven of Your eternal Kingdom, so that they, with all the righteous, always thank You with Your only begotten Son and Your life-giving Spirit. Amen.
The successor's prayer for the godson
Lord Jesus Christ, our God, in Jordan from John, by the will of John, will be baptized, willing and commanding us to be baptized for the remission of sins, have mercy and save the child (name), I received from the font. Grant him unquestionable faith, love for You, our Savior and your neighbor. Sam the trips of his travele of rescue, but a perfect one, the spiritual gifts will be able to be able to, the spiritual he alth of the dwellers and the kingdom of the unfortunate is dignified and the glory of the glory and the flesh and the flesh is well -owned and Amen.
We ask the Lord to guide the lives of our spiritual children. This is real help from godparents, as it should be. What is more useful for a baby: an expensive toy or spiritual help?
Prayer for orphans
How to pray for children and godchildren is understandable. They are happy because they have parents and loving godparents.
But there are children in the world who are deprived of this happiness. They are called orphans. Hardly anyone has been praying for them since childhood.
If there is such a child in your environment, do not spare a few minutes. Pray for him. In your own words, ask God for intercession for the orphan. Ask the Mother of God not to leave this child with Her mercy, to take him under Her protection.
Prayer for he alth
When you are sick, you want compassion and affection. But it is not always possible to get what you want from relatives and friends. It is especially difficult for a bedridden patient at this moment. But it is not easy for him and his relatives.
A sick person in the family is a very heavy cross. It's no secret that many sick people have a bad temper. They become more capricious, require increased attention to themselves. Households are forced to work, study and care for a seriously ill family member. In simple terms, from such a load "the roof will go."
How to bear the cross with dignity? If an adult is sick, it's scary. But due to his age, he understands something. When a child is sick, it's even worse. How to explain to the baby why he is in the crib and when he will get up? How to look into children's eyes full of pain and lack of interest in life? Is there any strong Orthodox prayer for the he alth of a child?
As we said above, all prayers are strong. In sickness resort to a healerPanteleimon.
Holy great martyr and healer Panteleimon, God's merciful imitator! Look with mercy and hear us sinners, praying fervently before your holy icon. Ask us of the Lord God, Him with Angels stand in heaven, the forgiveness of our sins and transgressions: heal the diseases of the soul and body of the servants of God, now commemorated, standing here and all Orthodox Christians, flowing to your intercession: behold, we, according to our sin we are so obsessed with many ailments and not imams of help and consolation: we resort to you, as if we were given grace to pray for us and heal every ailment and every disease; grant to all of us with your holy prayers he alth and well-being of soul and body, the advancement of faith and piety, and all that is needed for temporary life and salvation, as if, having been honored by you with great and rich mercies, let us glorify you and the Giver of all blessings, wondrous in the saints, God ours, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Parents of a sick child should ask the Lord and the Mother of God for help. With all my heart, ask, sincerely turn to Them. Don't be afraid to be unheard. Will the Mother of God leave a sick child in trouble? Wouldn't it help his mother? Hardly.
To raise our resolve, let's give an example. A very sick girl was born in an Orthodox family. The doctors predicted the fate of the "vegetable" for her. But the child's mother did not give up. She began to go regularly to the Kazan Monastery (Yaroslavl). The monastery has a miraculous icon of the Most Holy Theotokos. The woman put the child in front of the icon, herselfshe knelt beside her and tearfully asked the Mother of God for the he alth of her baby. In addition, mom regularly took communion crumbs.
It's been eight years. Now the girl is no different from her peers, and terrible diagnoses remained only in the children's medical record.
From the evil eye and damage
Is there a strong Orthodox prayer from the evil eye and corruption? Let's first understand what it is.
The evil eye and corruption are demonic weapons. In fact, the question here is more psychological than Christian. The fact is that demons can inspire bad thoughts. Everything falls apart in a person: things don’t go well at work, in his personal life there is complete hopelessness, there is always no money. He begins to lose heart, bad thoughts are spinning in his head. And then he complained to a friend about the black stripe, and she said that this damage had been brought on. Through a familiar demon, the person was led to the right thoughts. A person begins to wind himself up, rushes for help to the healer grandmothers. Instead of going to church, confess and take communion.
But can a demon cast out a demon, if you think about it? All these healers and sorceresses are the same demonic tools on earth. A person goes to them, but there is no sense. Only the inner emptiness and despondency grows.
And what to do in a similar situation? Throw your dough and run straight to the temple. The sooner, the better. Let's open a secret: those people who go to the temple, confess, take communion and pray, are not subject to the "evil eye and corruption." They are protected from demons.
Wear a cross, try to live a correct and charitable life. No demons canovercome then.
But back to prayer. Is there a strong Orthodox prayer from the evil eye and corruption? Read "Our Father" and "Virgin Mother of God, rejoice." The priest will tell you the rest. It is desirable to be with him sooner.
From evil spirits
Sometimes it happens like this: you sit at home alone, you don't touch anyone. Doing something interesting or household chores. And suddenly the animal horror begins to overwhelm. This state does not depend on the time of day: it may be in the morning, or it may be late at night.
What is the reason for this? Knowledgeable people say that demons get close to a person at that moment. And fear is catching up. How to defend yourself in such a situation? It can be a simple Jesus Prayer. You can call on God in your own words, asking for protection. Is there a strong Orthodox prayer from evil spirits?
As we said above, all prayers are strong. Do you want to protect yourself and your home from demonic attacks? Read "Let God Arise".
Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee from His presence. Like the smoke disappears, let them disappear; It as if the wax from the face of the fire, may he be burned from the face of the people and knowing the bibs, and in the weight of the verbs: rejoice, the renunciation and the life -giving biblies the devil, and gave us His Honorable Cross to you to drive out every adversary. Oh, Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord! Help me withHoly Lady Virgin Theotokos and with all the saints forever. Amen.
This prayer is part of the evening rule. The praying one overshadows the walls of an apartment or house with the sign of the cross, reads this prayer, and at the end he overshadows himself with the cross.
From drunkenness
Living in the same family with an alcoholic is a disaster. Well, if it is peaceful. Although what good is the sin of drinking wine, if you think about it? Still, a peaceful drunkard is safer than a violent fellow. At least not fighting.
However, both of them drag from home everything that can be exchanged for a bottle. If the wife or mother does not give money for drinking, the drunkard will steal something from the house. There is no way to steal, or has already stolen everything - he will steal a bottle in the store. Stands up with outstretched hand, collecting alms for a strong drink.
And what about the family? Living with an alcoholic or still trying to save him? Of course, the second option is preferable. Only now they coded several times, and gave a promise to stop drinking, and what just happened. Everything is pointless.
Have you tried praying? Strong Orthodox prayers for alcoholism did not help? They don't exist, they're strong. Everything depends on the prayer book. As we pray, so we live.
Don't despair if everything doesn't work at once. It will take a long time to pray for a drunkard. There will be temptations: it seems that he has stopped drinking forever, but no matter how. Drunk comes home again.
Order a prayer service to the icon of the Virgin "Inexhaustible Chalice". Before this image, they pray for the healing of the sin of drinking wine, for those whouses drugs. And pray at home. Read the Akathist to the Inexhaustible Chalice. Here is a video with this akathist:
Prayer for family
Whom to pray for your family? This may be a favorite saint, whom you especially revere. Or you can pray to Our Most Holy Lady Theotokos. Ask Her for protection over the family, for protection from all temptations and troubles.
Blessed Lady, take my family under Your protection. Instill in the hearts of my husband and our children peace, love and non-contradiction to everything good; do not allow anyone from my family to separation and a difficult parting, to premature and sudden death without repentance. And save our house and all of us living in it from fiery ignition, thieves' attack, every evil situation, various insurance and devilish obsession. Yes, and we collectively and separately, openly and secretly, will glorify Your Holy name always, now and forever, and forever and ever. Amen
Problems at work
It seems that there were never any complaints from the authorities. And then the boss went off the chain. Everything is wrong for him, everything does not suit him. At least quit. On the one hand, the employee knows that the boss appreciates him as an employee. But on the other hand, this constant pressure has been in the liver lately.
Have to look for a new place? Wait. Pray to the martyr Tryphon first. When you go to work in the morning, pray. We came to the workplace, read the prayer mentally, askmartyr for help. And so every day. You look, and the attitude of the leader towards you will change, or you will understand what his reason is.
Prayer to the holy martyr Tryphon
Oh, the holy martyr of Christ Tryphon, quick helper to all who run to you and pray before your holy image, quick-obedient representative!
Hear now and every hour the prayer of us, your unworthy servants, who honor your holy memory. You, the servant of Christ, promised yourself that before your departure from this perishable life, pray for us to the Lord and ask Him for this gift: if anyone in any need and sorrow of his call starts your holy name, let him be delivered from every pretense of evil. And as if you were sometimes the daughter of the king in Rome, the city of the devil, healed the tormented one, save us from his fierce wiles all the days of our stomach, especially on the terrible day of our last gasp, intercede for us, when the dark eyes of the evil demons surround and frighten us will start. Then be our helper and speedy exorcist of evil demons, and the leader of the Kingdom of Heaven, even if you now stand with the face of saints at the Throne of God, pray to the Lord, let us be vouchsafed to be partakers of everlasting joy and joy, and with you we will be worthy to glorify the Father and the Son and the Holy Comforter of the Spirit forever. Amen.
