The oldest and most effective protective prayers are considered to be such as:

• out of trouble;
• Guardian Angel;
• to all the apostles.

No less effective are prayers to the Three Angels. The Forty-Forty Prayer Helps Many.

How to read such prayers?

Prayers that protect from troubles should be read in the same way as others - with deep faith in the heart and sincerity. It doesn't matter what a person says, only how they do it matters.

In the event that the prayer simply repeats the memorized text, not feeling what he is saying, and not having complete faith in his own words, you should not expect any help from higher powers. Such a prayer will not be heard, because it is no different from simple colloquial speech.

Ready-made texts of prayers were compiled by people, not by the Lord, so there is no need to follow them inliterally.

Moreover, many words in the old prayers are incomprehensible to modern man, and this is also an important point.

Accordingly, the main rule of how to read protective prayers is the presence of faith and sincerity.

As a rule, protective daily, everyday prayers are said before going to bed or in the morning, before leaving the house. Prayers, the need for which arises due to troubles that have already begun or due to the presence of a premonition of any troubles, are usually read in the temple, in front of the images. This is due to two reasons. Firstly, it is much easier for a person to focus on his prayer in the church premises, and secondly, a special energy reigns in churches, because people come to them for generations with faith in their souls.

For all occasions

Prayer to the Guardian Angel for all occasions is read in a situation where a person anticipates trouble, but cannot understand where to expect it from and what exactly the anticipated troubles will express.

There are many texts for such a prayer. However, the best option for asking for protection will be your own words, spoken from the heart and with sincere faith. But not all people find it easy to express a request in their own words. Some get lost andcan find suitable phrases. In this case, ready-made texts will help.

Prayer to the Guardian Angel for all occasions can be like this:

“I (proper name) fall to you, my Angel. I beg you not to leave me at a difficult hour and fill my mind with clarity, and my soul with peace. I fall in doubt, my heart is tormented by fears, and my soul is tormented by confusion. Save me, a sinner (proper name), from laziness and evil intentions. From the intrigues of enemies, the slander of evil people, from slander and slander, from an unkind eye and a terrible word. Save from the passions of the world, from the vanity, objectionable to the Lord. Save from melancholy and rudeness, from despair and despondency. Do not let me fall into terrible sins and deliver me from the wiles of the unclean. Save me and hide from all kinds of misfortunes, let me bypass troubles, help me avoid sorrows. May your strength and blessing be with me, now and forever, amen.”

Prayer can be different. For example, in Russia it was customary to read a short prayer to the Heavenly Guardian with a strong fright or a feeling of panic, confusion. Her text might look like this:

“My Guardian is the Most Bright, the Angel of heaven, the servant of the Lord and his right hand, the sword that punishes evil, but interrupts unclean thoughts. Send me a sinful servant shelter from misfortune, give me the strength to deal with misfortune, and avoid the machinations of the devil, placed on the way. Protect me from the spell of demons, guide me past evil, amen.”

From troubles

The strongest prayer from troubles is invariably pronounced in a state of mental turmoil, in fear, which practically “gathers into a fist” faith inhuman heart. In such prayers, hope in the Lord does not even have a shadow of a doubt, and a person, as a rule, does not think about anything, but simply asks higher powers for protection and help.

Prayer from all troubles and misfortunes can be read like this:

“Lord Almighty, I trust in you. Do not leave me in a bad hour, help me avoid trouble, do not let me get bogged down in adversity, save me from the machinations of bad people, save me (proper name) from sorrows. I bow low to you and remain in your mercy, amen.”

A prayer that can protect from the evil eye and human envy can be like this:

“Lord Almighty, Most Holy Pleasers, Intercessors of Heaven! Give me the strength not to run away according to people's rumors, but from anger with envy I (proper name) do not toil. Do not get in the way of bad people, do not attract their attention, do not fade with envy. Give me the strength to avoid the wiles of demons, but human slander, evil eyes, evil words, amen.”

To all the apostles

Prayers from trouble 12 apostles arose during the formation of Christianity and the persecution of believers. They are not particularly popular in the modern world, since it is generally believed that an integral part of such a prayer is the listing of the names of Christ's disciples, and they are far from familiar to all people, because Orthodoxy has not been a part of everyday life and education in our country for a long time.

You can pray to all the apostles, and without listing them by name. An example of such a prayer could be the following text:

“The holy apostles of our Lord Jesus. Hear my prayer. Notleave me (proper name) in a difficult hour against trouble. You have traveled twelve roads. Twelve sorrows overcome. Save me, a servant of God, from all the misfortunes of the twelve, save me from other troubles, amen.”

Are there special looks?

There is an icon depicting the Mother of God and called "The Redeemer from Troubles". There are lists from it in almost every Orthodox church.

Before the image of the Redeemer, it is customary to pray literally about everything:

• healing body and soul;
• about the safety of the crop from the invasion of insects or aphids;
• about saving from natural and other disasters;
• about blessings;
• about resolving life's difficulties.

Coming to any temple, you should not limit yourself to prayer. Church shops sell small amulets. Among them there is always a "Redeemer". It makes sense to buy it and keep it in the house. It is generally accepted that in this way you can protect yourself from various misfortunes.

How to pray before the Redeemer?

Prayer to the icon "The deliverer from troubles" is pronounced like any other. The main thing in prayer is the presence of faith in one's own words, the conviction that help will definitely come and, of course, simplicity and sincerity. Without faith in the heart and with a mind filled with vain thoughts and everyday worries, doubts, there is no need to pray, because such a petition is empty, it will not be heard.

In front of this icon, believers pronounce as everyday, everyday prayers,so they turn to her in anticipation of trouble or “for prevention”. That is, trying to prevent possible troubles, to protect yourself from them in advance.

They come to this image even when troubles and grief have already come into human life. In this case, people, as a rule, are in despair and do not think about what exactly and how to pronounce, whether it is necessary to light a candle, bow down and how long to pray. The words needed for prayer in those in a hopeless situation themselves come at the right time. In other cases, ready-made examples of texts can help to pray.

Prayer for troubles that have not yet come, but are expected, may be like this:

“Mother of God, all-merciful intercessor. Defender before our Lord and guardian of human life, deliverer from adversity and recklessness, I trust in you and lament, the servant of God (proper name). Do not leave me in a difficult hour, but deliver me from its onset. Protect and save everyone from extortion, from evil deeds, and the evil eye. Take it to the side of trouble. Intrigues and crafty thoughts are not good. Save and protect me, the servant of God (proper name). Save my house and children, grant good and he alth, peace and tranquility, send prosperity, now and forever, amen.”

Prayer from troubles that have already overtaken a person may sound like this:

“Blessed Mother of God, protector of the human race and deliverer from misfortunes and sorrows, all-merciful comforter! Hear me, servant of God (proper name), do not leave me in your mercy. I beg you for help and deliverance from adversitymine and sorrows (a brief enumeration of the troubles that happened). I pray for indulgence in punishment for my sins. I pray for deliverance from someone else's slander and malice. I pray you for the gift of humility and strength of faith in my heart, amen.”
