Whom to pray for marriage and personal life? Which icon to read a prayer, how to do it correctly. Prayer for every good deed. Prayer of the holy righteous John of Kronstadt, protecting from falling

Which saint should be prayed to? Prayers for all occasions: about work, to get pregnant, about marriage, about children and others - are they traditional for Orthodoxy?

The tradition of veneration of saints in the Christian Church is very ancient; it has existed since the very moment the Church appeared, from the first years of its existence. Christian churches in ancient times were built on the tombs of martyrs. And it was the blood of the martyrs, according to one ancient church writer, that was the “seed of Christianity”, that is, Christianity spread thanks to the feat of the martyrs.

Prayer for all occasions - does it exist?

I would like to say very briefly about one negative phenomenon that is associated with the veneration of saints. The fact is that some perceive the saints in much the same way as the pagans perceived their gods - according to the principle “which saint helps from what”. Such people come into the church and ask: “ Which saint needs to light a candle to get an apartment?”, “Which saint to pray for a toothache?” etc.

It must be remembered that saints are not gods, from which you can get something, and from each his own. The Saints are not experts in renting apartments, stopping toothaches, or anything like that. There are, of course, saints who were doctors during their lifetime, and we turn to them with a request for healing, for example, the holy Great Martyr Panteleimon. Indeed, through the prayers of such saints, many healings occur. But by no means saints should not be taken as some kind of fetish; one cannot replace prayer to a saint as a person who has reached spiritual perfection and can help us in some way with prayer to a saint as some kind of idol, which is needed only because one can get specific help from him.

Saints are first of all ours heavenly friends who can help us in our progress on the path to salvation, on the path to God. And only secondarily are the saints - those who help us in specific everyday things.

Prayers for work, prayer for good luck in work

How to Pray for the Lord to Help at work, looking for a job? How to pray for the work to go well? Whether there is a "prayers for good luck in work", How often do people ask on the Internet?

A Christian asks God for help in every business, so it is right to pray both in finding a job and that the work goes well. How to pray?

Of course, you need to pray to the Lord Jesus Christ with all your heart, asking Him to help you find a job that will worthily, without sin, use your gifts for the glory of God and for the good of people.

In search of work, they also pray to the holy martyr Tryphon.

Prayer to the Holy Martyr Tryphon

Oh, the holy martyr of Christ Tryphon, an urgent helper to all who run to you and pray before your holy image, quick to obey the representative!

Hear now and at this 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 tsar in Rome, the city of the devil, healed the tormented one, save us from his fierce machinations all the days of our belly, especially on the terrible day of our last breath, intercede for us, when the dark eyes of the evil demons surround and frighten we will be started. Then be our helper and speedy exorcist of evil demons, and leader to the Kingdom of Heaven, even if you now stand with the face of saints at the Throne of God, pray to the Lord, may he grant us partakers of everlasting joy and joy, and with you we will be worthy of glorifying the Father and the Son and the Holy Comforter of the Spirit forever. Amen.

One saint, Pachomius the Great, asked God to teach him how to live. And here Pachomius sees the Angel. The angel first prayed, then he began to work, then he prayed again and again set to work. Pachomy did this all his life. Prayer without work will not feed, and work without prayer will not work for the future.

Prayer is not a hindrance to work, but a help. You can pray in the shower while working, and this is much better than thinking about trifles. The more a person prays, the better it is for him to live.

Prayer of a girl for marriage

Oh, all-good Lord, I know that my great happiness depends on me loving You with all my soul and with all my heart, and on fulfilling Your holy will in everything.
Govern yourself, O my God, my soul and fill my heart: I want to please You alone, for You are the Creator and my God.
Save me from pride and pride: let reason, modesty and chastity adorn me.
Idleness is contrary to You and gives rise to vices, give me a desire for industriousness and bless my labors.
Since Your Law commands people to live in an honest marriage, then bring me, Holy Father, to this title sanctified by You, not to please my desire, but to fulfill Your purpose, for You Yourself said: it is not good for a man to be alone and, having created his wife as a helper, blessed them to grow, multiply and inhabit the earth.
Hear my humble prayer, from the depths of a girl's heart sent to you; give me an honest and pious spouse, so that in love with him and in harmony we glorify You, the merciful God: the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer for children

“Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, bless, sanctify, save my child by the power of Your Life-giving Cross. Amen."
(And put the sign of the cross on the child.)

A mother's prayer for her children

(compiled by St. Ambrose of Optina)
God! Creator of all creatures, applying mercy to mercy, You have made me worthy to be the mother of a family; Your grace has given me children, and I dare to say: they are Your children! Because You gave them life, revived them with an immortal soul, revived them by baptism for life in accordance with Your will, adopted them and accepted them into the bosom of Your Church.

Very often, people who order a prayer service, magpie, or other worship ask about who and what they need to pray in order to receive God's help.

The Orthodox Church answers this as follows: “Any prayer service is a divine service aimed at glorifying the Lord, the Mother of God and all the Saints. In a prayer service, the Orthodox ask for mercy or thank God for the benefits received. The Savior favors his children who turn to Him for help, and helps - according to the strength of our faith, showing miracles of good deeds, the purpose of which is to heal, enlighten, encourage and reveal to a person the spiritual side of life. The Lord hears any of our prayers addressed to him. Therefore, when praying or ordering prayers, remember all the Saints, for each of them, as well as all of them together, are equally important.

Nevertheless, each of the Saints, each of the Miraculous Icons, has its own, unique grace. Prayed for centuries, Miraculous Icons are for believers a source of God's love, which the Lord generously bestows upon us. In this section of our website, you can find out detailed information about all the Miraculous Icons located in the churches and monasteries of Moscow and the Moscow region.

But in no case should you ask them to punish someone, send you untold wealth and luxury, or that someone loves you. You turn to the saint in order to express your love, respect and reverence for him with a prayer.

Prayer is a necessary part of the life of every believer. To get success in work, a new position and get rid of the shackles of poverty, you need to pray to the saints.

Prayer in front of such an icon helps to get rid of life's problems and improve your financial affairs. You need to carefully study the biographies of the saints in order to know what kind of request to which saint to address.

Prayer for material well-being

You need to pray sincerely, while it is best to use canonical texts confirmed by the church. But if there are no texts in memory, then you can turn to God in your own words.

The main motive is a sincere feeling. Before starting the prayer, it is required to expel evil feelings towards other people (hatred, envy, pride) from the heart. Then the following text is said to oneself or aloud.

Our Father, who art in heaven! May your name be hallowed, may your kingdom come, may your will be done, as in heaven, so on earth. Give us our daily bread today, and forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from the evil one. Amen.
