HOW TO READ THE MORNING AND EVENING PRAYERS CORRECTLY

Prayer there is a conversation or our conversation with God. It is as essential to us as air and food. We have everything from God and nothing of our own: life, abilities, health, food, and everything is given to us by God. Therefore, in joy, and in sorrow, and when we need something, we must turn to God with prayer.

The main thing in prayer is faith, attention, reverence, contrition of the heart and a promise to God not to sin. Reading technique should not obscure the meaning of what is being read. Prayers are usually read evenly and calmly, without any exaggerated intonation.

St. Theophan the Recluse in the article "How to Pray" wrote: The work of prayer is the first work in the life of a Christian. If in relation to the ordinary course of affairs the proverb is true: “Live for a century, learn for a century,” then it applies all the more to prayer, the action of which should not have a break and the degrees of which have no limit.

The ancient holy fathers, greeting each other at a meeting, usually asked not about health or anything else, but about prayer: how, they say, prayer goes or how it works. The effect of prayer was for them a sign of spiritual life, and they called it the breath of the spirit.

There is breath in the body - and the body lives; breath stops, life stops. So it is in the spirit: there is a prayer - the spirit lives; if there is no prayer, there is no life in the spirit.

But not every performance of prayer, or prayerfulness, is prayer. To stand in front of an icon in a church or at home and bow down is not yet prayer, but only an attribute of prayer.

Prayer itself is the emergence in our heart of one after another reverent feelings for God: self-humiliation, devotion, thanksgiving, praise, forgiveness, zealous falling, contrition, submission to the will of God and others.

Our whole concern should be that during our prayers these and similar feelings fill our soul so that when the tongue reads prayers or the ear listens and the body makes obeisances, the heart does not remain empty, but that there is some feeling towards God.

When these feelings are present, our prayerfulness is prayer, but when they are absent, then it is not yet prayer.

It seems that what would be simpler and more natural for us, like prayer, or the aspiration of the heart to God? And meanwhile it not at all and not always happens. It must be aroused and then strengthened, or, what is the same, cultivate a prayerful spirit in oneself.

The first way to do this is through reading or listening prayer. Do it properly, and you will certainly arouse and strengthen the ascent in your heart to God, you will enter into the spirit of prayer.

Our prayer books contain the prayers of the holy fathers Ephraim the Syrian, Macarius of Egypt, Basil the Great, John Chrysostom and other great prayer books. Being filled with a spirit of prayer, they set forth what was inspired by this spirit in a word and handed it over to us.

A great prayer power moves in their prayers, and whoever peers (peers. - Ed.) into them with all diligence and attention, he, by virtue of the law of interaction, will certainly taste the power of prayer, as his mood approaches the content of the prayer.

In order for our prayer to become a valid means for us to cultivate prayer in ourselves, we must perform it in such a way that both thought and heart perceive the content of the prayers that make it up. Here are the three easiest ways to do it:

- do not start praying without preliminary, although brief, preparation;

- do not do it somehow, but with attention and feeling;

— not immediately after the end of the prayers, go on to ordinary activities.

Prayer rule - daily morning and evening prayers that Christians do. Their texts can be found in the prayer book.

The rule can be general - obligatory for all or individual, selected for the believer by the confessor, taking into account his spiritual state, strength and employment.

Consists of morning and evening prayers, which are performed daily. This vital rhythm is necessary, because otherwise the soul easily falls out of the life of prayer, as if waking up only from time to time. In prayer, as in any big and difficult task, "inspiration", "mood" and improvisation alone are not enough.

Reading prayers connects a person with their creators: psalmists and ascetics. This helps to find a spiritual mood akin to their burning heart. In praying in other people's words, our example is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself. His prayer exclamations during the suffering on the Cross are lines from psalms (Ps. 21:2; 30:6).

There are three basic prayer rules:
1) a complete prayer rule, designed for spiritually experienced laity, which is published in the "Orthodox Prayer Book";

2) a short prayer rule; in the morning: “King of Heaven”, Trisagion, “Our Father”, “Virgin Mother of God”, “Rising from sleep”, “God have mercy on me”, “I believe”, “God, cleanse”, “To You, Master”, “Holy Angela”, “Most Holy Lady”, invocation of the saints, prayer for the living and the dead; in the evening: “King of Heaven”, Trisagion, “Our Father”, “Have mercy on us, Lord”, “Eternal God”, “Good King”, “Angel of Christ”, from “Choose Governor” to “It is worthy to eat”;

3) a short prayer rule of St. Seraphim of Sarov: three times “Our Father”, three times “Virgin Mother of God” and once “I believe” - for those days and circumstances when a person is extremely tired or very limited in time.

It is undesirable to completely omit the prayer rule. Even if the prayer rule is read without due attention, the words of the prayers, penetrating into the soul, have their cleansing effect.

The main prayers should be known by heart (with regular reading, they are gradually remembered by a person even with a very poor memory), so that they penetrate deeper into the heart and so that they can be repeated in any circumstances.

It is advisable to study the text of the translation of prayers from the Church Slavonic language into Russian (see "Explanatory Prayer Book") in order to understand the meaning of each word and not pronounce a single word meaninglessly or without accurate understanding.

It is very important that the person approaching prayer banish resentment, irritation, and bitterness from the heart. Without efforts aimed at serving people, at fighting sin, at establishing control over the body and the spiritual sphere, prayer cannot become the inner core of life..

In the conditions of modern life, given the workload and accelerated pace, it is not easy for the laity to set aside a certain time for prayer. The enemy of morning prayer is haste, and evening prayer is fatigue.

morning prayers it is best to read before starting any business (and before breakfast). In extreme cases, they are pronounced on the way from home. Late in the evening it is often difficult to concentrate due to fatigue, so it can be recommended to read the evening prayer rule in free minutes before dinner or even earlier.

During prayer, it is recommended to retire, light a lamp or a candle and stand in front of the icon. Depending on the nature of intra-family relationships, one can recommend reading the prayer rule together, with the whole family, or for each family member separately.

Common prayer is recommended before eating food, on solemn days, before a festive meal, and on other similar occasions. Family prayer is a kind of church, public prayer (the family is a kind of “home church”) and therefore does not replace individual prayer, but only complements it.

Before the beginning of prayer, one should make the sign of the cross and make several bows, half-length or earthly, and try to tune in to an inner conversation with God. The difficulty of prayer is often a sign of its true effectiveness.

Prayer for other people (see commemoration book) is an integral part of prayer. Standing before God does not alienate a person from his neighbors, but binds him to them with even closer ties. We should not be limited only to prayer for those close and dear to us. Praying for those who have caused us grief brings peace to the soul, affects these people and makes our prayer sacrificial.

It is good to end the prayer with thanksgiving to God for the gift of fellowship and contrition for one's inattention. Getting down to business, you must first think about what you have to say, do, see during the day and ask God for blessings and strength to follow His will. In the midst of a busy day, you need to say a short prayer (see the Jesus Prayer), which will help you find the Lord in everyday affairs.

Morning and evening rules– this is just a necessary spiritual hygiene. We are commanded to pray without ceasing (see the Jesus Prayer). The holy fathers said: if you churn milk, you will get butter, and in prayer, it turns from quantity into quality. God bless you!

Prayer 1, Saint Macarius the Great, to God the Father

Eternal God and the King of every creature, having vouchsafed me to sing even at this hour, forgive me the sins that I have done in this day by deed, word and thought, and cleanse, Lord, my humble soul from all filthiness of the flesh and spirit. And give me, Lord, in this night's sleep to pass away in peace, but having risen from my humble bed, I will please your most holy name, all the days of my stomach, and I will stop the enemies of the flesh and fleshless who fight me.

Prayer of Saint John of Damascus

Lover of mankind, will this coffin be for me, or will you enlighten my wretched soul in the daytime? Seven coffin is before me, seven death is coming. I am afraid of Your judgment, Lord, and endless torment, but I do not stop doing evil: I will always anger the Lord my God, and Your Most Pure Mother, and all the heavenly powers, and my holy guardian angel. We know, O Lord, that I am not worthy of Thy love for mankind, but I am worthy of all condemnation and torment. But, Lord, either I want it or I don't want it, save me. If you save the righteous, you are nothing great; and if you have mercy on the pure, it is nothing marvelous: for the essence of Thy mercy is worthy. But on me, a sinner, surprise Thy mercy: in this, show Thy philanthropy, so that my malice will not overcome Thy inexpressible goodness and mercy: and if you wish, arrange a thing for me.

Enlighten my eyes, O Christ God, lest I fall asleep into death, lest my enemy say: Be strong against him.

Glory: Be the intercessor of my soul, O God, as I walk in the midst of many nets; Deliver me from them and save me, Blessed One, like a Lover of mankind.

And now: The Most Glorious Mother of God, and the most holy Angel of the Holy Angels, silently sing with heart and mouth, confessing this Mother of God, as if she truly gave birth to God, is incarnate, and praying unceasingly for our souls.

Prayer to the Holy Cross

Mark yourself with the cross and say:

Let God arise, and let His enemies be scattered, and let those who hate Him flee from His face. As the smoke disappears, let them disappear; as wax melts from the face of fire, so let the demons perish from the face of those who love God and are marked by the sign of the cross, and in joy they say: Rejoice, Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord, drive away the demons by the power of our Lord Jesus Christ, crucified on you, who descended into hell and corrected his strength the devil, and who gave us His Honorable Cross to drive away every adversary. O Most Honorable and Life-Giving Cross of the Lord! Help me with the Holy Lady Virgin Mother of God and with all the saints forever. Amen.

Weaken, leave, forgive, God, our sins, free and involuntary, even in word and in deed, even in knowledge and not in knowledge, even in days and nights, even in mind and in thought: forgive us all, as Good and Humanitarian.

Forgive those who hate and offend us, Lord, Lover of mankind. Bless those who do good. Grant to our brethren and relatives even for the salvation of petitions and eternal life. In the infirmities of the being, visit and grant healing. Izhe govern the sea. Travel travel. Grant forgiveness to those who serve and pardon us of sins. Those who have commanded us unworthy to pray for them, have mercy according to Your great mercy. Remember, Lord, before our departed father and brothers, and give them rest, where the light of Thy face dwells. Remember, Lord, our captive brothers and deliver me from every situation. Remember, Lord, those who bear fruit and do good in Your holy churches, and grant them even salvation, petitions and eternal life. Remember, Lord, also us, the humble and sinful and unworthy servants of Thy, and enlighten our minds with the light of Thy mind, and guide us on the path of Thy commandments, with the prayers of our Most Pure Lady, the Theotokos and Ever-Virgin Mary, and all Thy saints: blessed be Thou forever and ever . Amen.

Confession of sins daily

I confess to you the Lord my God and Creator, in the Holy Trinity, the One, glorified and worshiped, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, all my sins, even when I have done all the days of my stomach, and for every hour, and now, and in the past days and night, by deed, by word, by thought, overeating, drunkenness, secret eating, idle talk, despondency, laziness, contradiction, disobedience, slander, condemnation, neglect, self-love, acquisitiveness, theft, ill-spokenness, foul profit, mischief, jealousy, envy, anger, remembrance , hatred, covetousness and all my feelings: sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch and my other sins, both spiritual and bodily, in the image of you my God and the Creator of anger, and my neighbor unrighteousness: regretting these, I blame myself to you my God I imagine, and I have the will to repent: to the point, Lord my God, help me, with tears I humbly pray to Thee: forgive me, who has passed my sins by Thy mercy, and resolve from all these, even those who have spoken before You, as Good and Humane.

Or: reflection before going to sleep (according to the Psalter followed)

Before you even lay down on your bed, this whole thought and memory of yours pass away.

First ubo:

Give thanks to the Almighty God, as if the day that has passed has been given to you, by your grace, alive and in good health.

Second:

Put a word with yourself, and create a test of your conscience, passing, and counting in detail all the hours of the day, starting from the time when you got up from your bed, and bringing to your memory: how did you walk; what you did; to whom, and what thou didst interview; and all your deeds, words and thoughts, pronounced by you from morning even to evening, test with all fear, and remember.

Third:

If you have done something good on this day, do not be from yourself, but from God Himself, all the good things that give us not eating, write this down, and give thanks, and let it confirm you in this good thing, and the rest will help and grant, pray.

Fourth:

If you have done something evil, from yourself, and from your weakness, or crafty custom and will, this happens by saying, repent, and pray to the Lover of Humanity, that you will grant forgiveness in that, with a firm promise, as if someone else did not do this .

Fifth:

With the tears of your Creator, mercifully pray that the present night is quiet, serene, unblemished and sinless, grants: the morning day, on the glorification of the name of his saint, grants the whole preliminaries.

When you go to sleep, say:

In Your hands, Lord Jesus Christ, my God, I commit my spirit: You bless me, You have mercy on me and grant me eternal life. Amen.

895: The essence of prayer How much attention should be paid to external methods when praying, God's Grace be with you! Prayer is an internal matter. Everything that is done externally in this case does not belong to the essence of the matter, but is an external situation. Everything that happens as if good from

Prayer for every Orthodox Christian is a moment of communion with the Heavenly Father. Having cried out in prayerful humility to the Almighty, we open our hearts to him, so that He fills it with His light and goodness. Prayer before going to bed is one of the most important rituals that not only pays tribute to the Lord, but also allows us to analyze, look back at the past day and ask the Almighty for protection from a bad dream - calming the soul for a dream to come.

It is said in Holy Scripture that prayer is the duty of every Christian before God. Pray when you are awake, pray when you go to sleep or when you start any work, and teach your child the same, for our life is a gift from the Creator, for which he asks only that small fraction. The duty of a pious layman is charged with morning and evening prayer - this is a rule in which there is a source of wisdom.

The wise elders of Optina commanded every baptized Orthodox - prayer should not be tedious and take a lot of time, but it is our duty before the Almighty and His Son Jesus. Add a prayer from the heart to a chapter from the Gospel, the Apostle, and one kathisma from the Psalter - and your duty as a Christian is fulfilled, and the Lord, having repented, will grant you his mercy and blessing.

Morning prayer serves to awaken the soul so that it remembers throughout the day - God is near, He takes care of his children. Every business is initiated with the help of the Almighty and under His vigilant Eye. Nothing and no one can hide from the Lord, who is the essence of everything. Glorifying the King of Heaven in the morning, we show that we need his mercy and blessings all day long, we show our humility and zeal for His glory.
Prayer for the night is the moment when you need to look back. Admit your mistakes and ask for forgiveness for any sins. Ask God to remove the burden of what you have done from your soul, to calm your heart from anguish, anxiety and torment - who, if not He, will listen to you and guide you on the path of truth. It is only in His power to free from fear, give hope, guide and prompt, restoring peace and serenity to sleep.

Opening the prayer book, you can draw a lot of wisdom, which is given by the Almighty and descended by the Holy Spirit to help us in troubles and torments. Including there is a place for prayers that call on the intercessors of the Holy Saints - they have been given the power to ask God for you, begging for help. Involve your child in prayer whenever you yourself pay tribute to the Almighty.

This small sacrifice from you is enough to live under His protection, not knowing sorrow during the day and resting without fear at night. And if in the morning it is considered reasonable to devote a little more time to prayer, so that the blessing of the Lord accompanies the whole day, then, going to bed, you can use short prayers. In them, it is customary to say words of thanksgiving for the past day and mention your Guardian Angel for his patronage, asking for guidance in life. The child, like a pure soul, is attached to the same, so that the Lord always has a place in his heart.

Prayer is the antidote for nightmares

Of course, Orthodox Christians in the majority understand the power of the word of prayer. But it will not be superfluous to recall that prayer is also an excellent cure for any trouble. A nightmare is the machinations of demons who seek to torment the human soul, depriving them of peace. They force people to turn to soothsayers for salvation, clouding the mind with a veil, directing towards the sinful.

However, there is no better medicine than prayer, which will restore peace and serenity to sleep. You just need to let Jesus and the Holy Spirit into your heart and read a few prayers for the future.

Turning to the King of Heaven for the salvation of the soul and the pacification of our sleep, we will find peace and bliss that night. The Almighty, by his will, will protect his servant from the demons of fear that interfere with our rest at night.

Do not neglect a candle or a lamp - this is a ray of burning hope. The light that breaks through the darkness to God.
"Our Father", read to the dream of the future, will strengthen your faith in the Almighty and pay tribute to him from the Christian heart.
If nightmares are too annoying, then, going to bed, supplement prayer reading with psalms to calm and protect against demons. Their medicinal power is great and is recognized even by the Holy Synod of the Holy Orthodox Church.
If nightmares torment a child, then praying for his peaceful sleep is the duty of every parent. Do not leave the child alone with fears - show him the way to salvation in the Almighty.
Keep a prayer book on hand - this is a storehouse of wisdom for every everyday occasion. He will reveal to you great universal love and mercy.
Prayer for sleep to come can be read while in bed. The Lord is merciful and does not consider this sinful, for the evening vigils take place after the day of labor. However, try, if possible, to find the strength and say the prayer in the proper way - in the humble posture of a good Christian.

Prayer for the coming dream

“Lord, King of Heaven, Comforter, Soul of truth, have mercy on me and have mercy on me, Your sinful servant, and let me go unworthy, and forgive all, fir-tree of You who have sinned today, like a man, moreover, not like a man, but also howling my sinful cattle, and involuntary, known and unknown: even from youth and science are evil, and even from arrogance and despondency. If I swear by Your name, or blaspheme in my mind; or whom I reproach; or I have slandered someone with my anger, or have saddened, or about what I have become angry; either you lied, or you spake without use, or come to me poor, and despise him; or I have saddened my brother, or married, or whom I have condemned; or get angry, or become proud, or get angry; or I stand in prayer, my mind is moving about the wickedness of this world, or the corruption of thoughts; either overeat, or drunk, or laughed madly; or having thought evil, or having seen the kindness of a stranger, and by that he was wounded by the heart; or unlike the verbs, or the sin of my brother laughed, but my essence is countless sins; or about prayer not for the sake of it, or other things that are crafty, I don’t remember, that’s all and more than these fellows. Have mercy on me, my Creator, Lord, dejected and unworthy of Your servant, and leave me, and let go, and forgive me, as Good and Humanitarian, but in peace I will lie down, sleep and rest, prodigal, sinful and accursed, and worship, and sing And I will glorify Your honorable name, with the Father and His Only Begotten Son, now and forever and forever. Amen"

Guardian Angel will protect your dreams

Prayer to the Guardian Angel has great power. He is our patron in all earthly affairs. The human soul is given to his cares, in order to instruct it in love for God and take care of it on the path of life. Turning to him in prayer, going to sleep, we give our bodies and minds under his protection, so that he watches over our safety.

It is customary to mention the Guardian Angel every time before going to bed and thank him for the past day, which he arranged for us with his labors. The text of the prayer to the Angel is quite simple and one of the very first in our lives. Every child is taught this prayer from an early age, so that the child knows that the Guardian always stands behind him and watches over the good.

Do not forget one condition - in order to cry out for the salvation of the soul of a child, he must be baptized. Otherwise, the child does not have his own Angel, which is given to us by God for service.
Do not be lazy and read the prayer-appeal to the Heavenly Guardian together with your child, wishing both of you a good sleep.

Prayer to the Holy Guardian Angel

“Angel of Christ, my holy guardian and protector of my soul and body, forgive all of us, if I have sinned this day, and deliver me from every slyness of the enemy against me, but in no sin will I anger my God; but pray for me a sinful and unworthy slave, as if I were worthy, show me the goodness and mercy of the All-Holy Trinity and the Mother of my Lord Jesus Christ and all the saints. Amen"

Mother of God - patroness of mother and child

Every mother with a small child needs to take a responsible approach to her duties. In order to find a restful sleep for yourself and your baby, pray to the Mother of God - she is the protection and gracious patroness of the child and his mother.

When covering a child in a crib, read over him any short canonical prayers that the prayer book contains. Turning to the Queen of Heaven, call for the good in the dream of the child, so that his even sniffing is not overshadowed by anything and is the subject of maternal tenderness, for the Mother of God will amuse him in the night. There is no better care from a mother to a child than a blessing for sleep.

Virgin Mary, rejoice.
Redeemer.
The blessing of the King Good Mother.

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos

“The good king’s good, the Most Holy and Blessed Mother of God, Mary, the miracle of your Seminh and God, have a sink to my suffering and with your prayers, come to the deeds of my deeds, and my abdomen, and my belly, Pure and Blessed."

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos the Redeemer

“Oh, Mother of God, our help and protection, when we ask, be our deliverer, we trust in You and always whole-heartedly call on You: have mercy and help, have mercy and deliver, incline Your ear and accept our sorrowful and tearful prayers, and as if you are good , calm and rejoice us, who love your Beginningless Son and our God. Amen"

A conspiracy from unrest in a dream

The Orthodox Church rejects all pagan hymns and whispers, as if they were the work of demons. Seeking protection for your sleep from worries, it is customary to turn to the prayer book for the word of God. However, if dreams are pestering with nightmares, or insomnia does not give rest after hard work, then you can apply a conspiracy to sleep soundly, in which there is a mention of the Name of the Almighty or His Holy Saints.

Such conspiracies do not occur from the forces of witchcraft or magic, but are born by a light soul, from God given. Often such conspiracies are words uttered in prayer by those who are pure in heart, and his prayer was heard by the Lord and received as a reward.

This conspiracy calls for a blissful sleep and grants peace of mind at night. They read it three times and calmly lie down to rest, for the Lord will arrange everything and give you serene rest.

“In the name of our Most Holy Lord, I call on the Power of Heaven!

To me, saviors and holy Baptists,

Turn to the soul with mercy, intercede for it!

Have mercy on me, please have a righteous dream,

Take tempters and seducers away from me,

Exterminate the demonic tribe in the night.

In the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen"

The Psalter is a storehouse of wisdom and a helper for the soul

Whenever mental anguish causes a great deal of suffering, turn to the word of God. The Psalter is that part of the Bible that gives help in any life's hardships or helps in healing from a heavy burden on the heart.

Psalms can be both independent prayers and act in addition to other canonical prayers. For those who seek solace in the night and rest from the worries of the day, the Psalter grants several saving songs.

Psalm 90 - protection from demons. For those who are plagued by nightmares and fears.
Psalm 70 - for gaining mercy and peace from the Holy Spirit.
Psalm 65 - in protection from suffering in the soul, so that at night a person is not tormented by insomnia.
Psalm 8 - from the fears of a child in a dream.
Psalm 116 is about keeping the Christian soul at night in peace and serenity.

May the Lord grant you tenderness and grace in your dreams, and all fears will go away. Communicating in prayer with the Heavenly Forces, you enlist their support when the soul and body are resting. Angels and Cherubim will be favored from above to guard your sleep from the invasion of all evil spirits and the demonic tribe.

According to the Orthodox tradition, one should thank God for every day lived, in the morning and in the evening, before going to bed. Prayers help to feel the love of the Lord and protect from nightmares and misfortune.

It is known that one should turn to God not only in moments of spiritual unhappiness and grief, but also in free time. Morning prayers help to tune in to a happy and successful day. And the evening ones cry out to the Creator: through words we thank the Almighty for every day we live and save our soul from evil.

Orthodox prayers for the coming dream

Most people have lost the habit of such a wonderful tradition as praying at night. In the bustle of days, we forget to express love for God, and this is necessary. Prayer helps not only to glorify the Creator and ask for help: it has a beneficial effect on our mood, soul and sleep. A person who performs such actions every day has greater happiness and luck in life than one who turns to the Almighty only with a request to resolve his problems. However, for the prayer to work, you need to read it at home correctly.

Turning to God greatly affects our life and consciousness. With the help of holy words, we can drive away trouble, change the future and attract happiness. Not every person knows the Church Slavonic language, so it may be difficult to read powerful words. Especially for you, we have translated some prayers into Russian: they have not lost their power, but have become accessible and understandable.

Prayer to God before going to bed:

“Father of all living things, help me at this hour, forgive my sins, which I (name) created by negligence today. If I offended a person with a swear word or an unacceptable act, I pray for forgiveness. Cleanse my soul from bad thoughts, and the flesh— from the desires of sinners. Deliver, O God, from the vanity of the earth and reveal Your grace in a dream. In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen"

Prayer to the Lord and Jesus Christ for the coming dream:

“Our Father and Jesus Christ, grant me (name) your mercy, do not leave me on the path of life. I kneel and pray for help in tomorrow, save my dream and sanctify my life. May your salvation and your love descend upon me on my bed. Release my sins for the day and guide me along the path of repentance and light. Let all adversity pass, as the day passed. My God and Your Son Jesus, I humbly believe in Your strength and power over evil. Save your servant (name). May your kingdom on earth be eternal. Amen".

Evening Prayer to the Holy Spirit:

“Lord, comforter of my soul. Show Your mercy and save Your servant (name) from misfortune. Through Your help, O God, I want to cleanse my soul from the sins of the day. My thoughts and my words are involuntary, and therefore sinful. Save me from longing, sadness, despondency, grief and all evil intentions. Replace my depraved deeds with the grace of God and let me repent of my deeds done. Have mercy on me before going to bed and forgive my sins. Grant Thy intercession before the evil power. I praise you forever and ever. Amen".

Prayer to the Guardian Angel for the night:

“My Guardian, my soul and body are under Your protection. Forgive me (name) if I have sinned and neglected Your trust. For the deeds of my day, I ask for forgiveness and pray for deliverance from sin. Not from evil, but involuntarily, I will anger the Lord God and you, my Protector. Show me your grace and mercy. To the glory of our Lord. Amen".

The icon of the Lord Almighty is one of the most important symbols of Orthodox believers. The famous image of Jesus Christ...

Miraculous words: a prayer before going to bed in Russian in a full description from all the sources we found.

Every Orthodox Christian must adhere to a certain prayer rule that is performed daily: morning prayers are read in the morning, and prayers for the coming dream must be read in the evening.

Why you need to read prayers before bed

There is a certain rhythm of prayer reserved for monastics and spiritually advanced laymen.

But for those who have recently come to the Church and are just beginning their prayer journey, it is rather difficult to read it in its entirety. Yes, and it happens that unforeseen situations arise for the laity, when there is too little opportunity and time for prayer.

In this case, it is better to read a short rule than to thoughtlessly and without reverence chatter the full text.

Often confessors bless beginners to read several prayers, and then, after 10 days, add one prayer to the rule every day. Thus, the habit of prayer reading is formed gradually and naturally.

Important! Any prayer appeal will be supported by Heaven when a person directs his activity to serve God and people.

Evening prayers

In the evening, a short rule is read by the laity - a prayer for the night before going to bed:

In the name of the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Amen.

Holy God, Holy Mighty, Holy Immortal, have mercy on us. (Three times)

Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us; bewildering any answer, we offer this prayer as the Lord of sin: have mercy on us.

And now: Open the doors of Mercy to us, blessed Mother of God, hoping in Thee, let us not perish, but let us be delivered from troubles by Thee: Thou art the salvation of the Christian race.

Lord have mercy. (12 times)

Glorious Ever-Virgin Mother of Christ God, bring our prayer to Your Son and our God, may our souls be saved by You.

I place all my hope in You, Mother of God, keep me under Your shelter.

Virgin Mother of God, do not despise me, a sinner, requiring Your help and Your intercession, my soul trusts in You, and have mercy on me.

My hope is the Father, my refuge is the Son, my protection is the Holy Spirit: Holy Trinity, glory to Thee.

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother, our reverend and God-bearing fathers and all the saints, have mercy on us. Amen.

Interpretation of individual prayers

King of Heaven.

In prayer, the Holy Spirit is called the King, because He, as God the Father and God the Son, rules the world and reigns in it. He is a comforter and to this day comforts those who need it. He guides believers on the righteous path, which is why he is called the Spirit of Truth.

The petition is addressed to the three hypostases of the Holy Trinity. The angels of heaven sing a great song before the throne of God. God the Father is Holy God, God the Son is Holy Almighty. This conversion is due to the victory of the Son over the devil and the destruction of hell. During the prayer, a person asks for permission from sins, healing of spiritual infirmities for the sake of glorifying the Most Holy Trinity.

This is an appeal directly to the Almighty as to the Father, we stand before Him as children before our mother and father. We affirm the omnipotence of God and His might, we implore you to manage human spiritual forces and guide them on the true path, so that after death you will be honored to be in the Kingdom of Heaven.

He is the Good Spirit for every believer, ordained by God Himself. Therefore, praying to Him in the evenings is simply necessary. It is he who will warn against committing sins, will help to live holy and will patronize the soul and body.

In prayer, the danger of attacks by bodily enemies (people pushing them to commit sin) and incorporeal (spiritual passions) is emphasized.

The nuances of the evening rule

Most people have a question: is it possible to listen to Orthodox chants in an audio recording?

The Epistle of the Apostle Paul says that it doesn’t matter what a person does, the main thing is that any of his deeds be done for the glory of God.

Prayer should be started before going to bed. Before starting to read the rule, it is recommended to thank God for everything that He has been given for the whole day. You need to turn to Him with your mind and heart, realizing the meaning of each spoken word.

Advice! If the text is read in Church Slavonic, then you need to study its Russian translation.

In modern practice, the rule is supplemented by reading prayers for:

close and dear people
the living and the dead;
about enemies;
virtues and about the whole world.

In a dream, a person is especially vulnerable to the devil's army, he is visited by sinful thoughts, bad desires. Night in the Christian understanding is considered the time of rampant demons. A person can receive information that can seduce his body and lead his soul into sin. Demons are very insidious, they can send nightmares in a dream vision.

That is why believers pray every day before going to bed.

Advice! Even when all life circumstances turn out well, one should not forget about faith and the Heavenly Father, because human destinies are predetermined in Heaven from the very beginning. Therefore, it is necessary to turn to God before going to bed and the next day will definitely turn out better than the previous one.

It is useful to listen to the singing of the elders of Optina Hermitage. This male monastic monastery is famous for miracle workers who could and can foresee human destinies. The need to serve the Almighty is transmitted through their prayer songs and sets them on the righteous path.
The Church has a positive attitude towards watching Orthodox videos, but this material must be treated very carefully, and in the process of listening or watching, it is recommended to postpone secular activities.
The clergy advise including the prayers of the Optina Elders in the evening rule. Their texts have evolved over the centuries, and each of their phrases carries the greatest wisdom capable of explaining the foundations of the Orthodox faith and knowing all their depth.

Prayer appeal is the breath of the soul of an Orthodox person. He practically cannot control his sleep, and other life processes are also difficult to control. Therefore, prayer before going to bed is aimed at ensuring that the Creator participates in human life, otherwise He will not have the opportunity to help us.

Important! The ascension of a prayer before going to bed is the acquisition of protection and support by an Orthodox Christian. In addition to their own protection, mothers beg God to protect their children and send them mercy.

There is a Prayer Book in which there are all petitions, and it is they that must be read before going to bed. For monks - Orthodox prayer book. Not only in the evenings you need to pray, but also in the morning. Definitely every day. Treat this with full seriousness and responsibility.

If you haven't prayed before, start with five prayers and add one more every ten days. Read meaningfully, slowly, ponder over every word. Sincerely and from a pure heart, it must go. There are times when you do not have the strength and time to read the full rule. Remember that it is better to pray briefly and thoughtfully than in a hurry, "for show." Such short reading would be a big mistake.

Here is one of the petitions to the Lord for a good dream:

“Eternal God and the King of every creature, having made me sing even at this hour, forgive me the sins that I have done in this day by deed, word and thought, and cleanse, Lord, my humble soul from all filth of flesh and spirit. And give me, Lord, in this night's sleep to pass away in peace, but having risen from my humble bed, I will please your most holy name, all the days of my stomach, and I will stop the enemies of the flesh and fleshless who fight me. And deliver me, O Lord, from vain thoughts that defile me, and from evil lusts. For Yours is the kingdom, and the power and the glory, of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and forever and ever. Amen."

A short prayer for the coming dream

Prayer helps us in difficult times, whether we are awake or asleep. Often we do not sleep well because we anticipate a bad event or misfortune. Pray in your sleep too. It's possible. Thus, you can prevent trouble.

Small children often do not sleep peacefully. The morning then begins with whims, and the parents are completely sleep deprived. In this situation, there is a way out. In order for the child to sleep peacefully and soundly, there is a prayer for the baby’s sleep to the Virgin. She will save him from nightmares. After putting the baby to bed, the mother should read a petition to the Kazan Mother of God at the head of the crib:

“Oh, Most Pure Lady Theotokos, Queen of heaven and earth, the highest angel and archangel and the most honest, pure Virgin Mary, the Good Helper of the world, and affirmation to all people, and deliverance in all needs! You are our intercessor and intercessor, you are protection for the offended, joy for the grieving, refuge for the orphan, guardian widows, glory to the virgins, weeping joy, visitation to the sick, healing to the weak, salvation to sinners. Have mercy on us, Mother of God, and fulfill our petition, for all the essence is possible for Your intercession: for glory befits You now and forever and forever and ever. Amen".

Dear parents, often bad sleep is the cause of fear. Be kind, considerate and gentle. In case of fright, it is recommended to read a special plot for two to three weeks.

If the baby is still sleeping restlessly, then most likely he was jinxed. Then you should read a prayer from the evil eye.

After reading, you will see the result yourself. The baby will wake up at night only once to eat. When your child grows up, teach him to pray on his own.
