Who to pray to stop smoking. Tobacco self-hypnosis

Do you know that bad habits are also dangerous? They lead to illness and death. That’s why people need prayer against smoking. For individuals addicted to smoke, this is almost the only means that helps strengthen their strength and not give up the fight they have begun. Let's talk about what the prayer against smoking is, how to read it, and who to turn to. It is important to understand whether this miracle cure works. We will try to highlight and clarify the reviews of those who tried to free themselves from bad habit through prayer.

Let's talk about faith

We should start with the attitude towards faith in general. The fact is that a prayer against smoking cigarettes is not a conspiracy or a pill. You can’t read the text a couple of times and stop reaching for tobacco. It is a lie that there is something that allows you to get rid of addiction in one moment. Anyone who has ever smoked knows that quitting the habit is difficult and requires persistence and perseverance. The will fails many. They reach for a cigarette, unable to resist the temptation. The last word is very important. As the Monk Ambrose of Optina said: smoking clouds the mind and relaxes the soul. It is a devilish temptation that imitates church customs. In the temple they smoke fragrant incense, and the unclean one encourages a person to blow stinking smoke from his mouth. Moreover, people think that this is good. But the Lord, when creating his child, did not give him smoking skills. This habit is unnatural. Ambrose Optinsky believed that this habit was in no way compatible with faith. Anyone who takes up tobacco does not have God in his soul. Sincere faith gives a person the strength to overcome a bad habit.

Is there a prayer against smoking?

To answer this question, let's look at history. This was in 1905. The Monk Silouan of Athos then visited Russia. He was traveling by train and once met a rich merchant. He offered the old man a cigarette. He took the refusal quite aggressively and began to convince him that there was nothing bad in tobacco. The Monk Silouan of Athos did not enter into an argument. He suggested that the merchant read the Lord's Prayer before lighting a cigarette. He objected, believing that it was not at all the case to mix turning to the Lord and tobacco. The elder told him: “Every business that begins with prayer. If it is said in embarrassment, then you shouldn’t take on the job.”

The meaning of this story is this: any prayer is for smoking. It is simply necessary to have an understanding in your soul that the Lord did not give tobacco to man. This means that the habit came from the devil. Although there is a special prayer for getting rid of smoking. We'll get to it a little later. If you read the text without realizing its meaning, then there will be no help. The fight against a habit should begin with the conviction of its sinfulness. When a person is able to reject the socially imposed views regarding tobacco, he will make the right decision.

It’s no secret that there is constant propaganda of smoking in cinema, literature, and the media. Information is absorbed into the subconscious against your will. Nowadays, few people consider this habit shameful. Prayer against smoking begins with the understanding that you are doing something not approved by the Lord, that is, you are committing a sin.

A small parable

Once a man came to Elder Paisius the Svyatogorets whose daughter was seriously ill. The child literally died from various ailments. Doctors gave no chance of recovery. The desperate father asked the elder to pray for the girl and help. Father Paisiy, of course, did not refuse the unfortunate man. He promised that he would pray for the child. In the conversation he said that it is necessary for a father to help his child. In particular, the elder said, a man should give up the sinful habit of smoking in order to give strength to his daughter through his suffering. Father Paisiy believed that coercion and restrictions, which would become a kind of test for the father, would contribute to the girl’s recovery.

The elder tried to convey to all of us, not just the unfortunate man, that sinful passions, including smoking, lead us away from a normal, natural life. They are given to people to fight them, to demonstrate by behavior that they are children of the Lord, not the devil.

The man mentioned in our story happily left his cigarettes near the temple and never touched them again.

Vera is a faithful helper

In this case, desire and capabilities must coincide. If you feel the urge to quit smoking, ask for prayer. This must be done with a strong desire and Faith. Only by believing in the Lord does it become possible to achieve a certain result.

You can buy an icon, stock up on candles, and pray twice a day. Also, no one bothers you to say prayer words to yourself, turning them to God during the working day. At the same time, it doesn’t matter to whom you pray: the Lord himself or his saints - the main thing is awareness of your desire.

The best time to quit smoking is at the moment of greatest closeness to the church.

Having felt grace, you can say goodbye to smoking, but the fortitude to not start smoking again depends only on you.

It must be borne in mind that even reducing the number of cigarettes smoked daily, or using other methods may not be effective at all. Quitting smoking becomes possible only if you yourself, with the help of your Will, refuse to do it. Sincere prayer can help with this; even conspiracies do not work so strongly.

Admit your sin

Many cigarette adherents who want to quit smoking prefer to use various words prayers. The main thing is that they come from the heart. At the same time, you choose who to pray to. Some of the most popular are the following types of prayers:

Prayer to the Holy Trinity. Addressed to the Father, Son and Holy Spirit. The person praying acknowledges the presence of an illness, asks to forgive sins and heal from illness, restore health, grant long summers life.

Prayer to the Most Holy Trinity “From smoking”

“O most merciful God, Father, Son and Holy Soul, worshiped and glorified in the Undivided Trinity, look kindly upon Thy servant (name), who is overcome by illness; forgive him all his sins; give him healing from his illness; restore his health and bodily strength; Give him a long and prosperous life, Your peaceful and premium blessings, so that together with us he brings grateful prayers to You, our All-Bountiful God and Creator.”

Prayers for smoking. They also contain words acknowledging the presence of an illness, a request to forgive sins, and a desire to be healed specifically from smoking.

Prayer “About smoking”

“Most merciful Lord! Hear my request, accept the prayer of Your unworthy servant, do not abhor my wounds, do not turn away from me. Just as you sometimes healed the money-loving soul of Zacchaeus the tax collector, heal my soul, which was sick with many passions and troubles. Lord, listen to the voice of my prayer, hear my groaning and pitiful cry. Oh, woe is me, woe is me a sinner, since I become like idolaters, I am not ashamed to burn demonic incense, I am not ashamed to offend You, Lord, with the wickedness of my heart. I tempt You with excessive reliance on Your long-suffering. Standing in Your Holy Temple, I enjoy the fragrance of incense, and every hour I again enjoy the stench of smoke. I defile my lips and with these same lips I speak words of praise to You. Like a dog returns to his vomit, I also serve sin. For everyone, this is a sin, but the Imam does not have the boldness to renounce the bribes of mercenaries. Most merciful Lord! Condescend with my weakness, forgive my indecency, strengthen me, give me patience and spiritual courage, do not leave me, do not let me perish in the mire of sin, Save, Lord! I'm dying! Because sometimes, Lord, you healed, through the prayers of your Most Pure Mother, a certain husband Sergius - heal also someone unworthy of me. Just as you, Lord, sometimes delivered, through the prayers of St. Ambrose of Optina, from the bad habit of a certain Alexei of Moscow, deliver also the less accursed one. As if sometimes, Lord, through the prayers of the saints, the father of the Kiev-Pechersk people freed from the oppressive passion of a certain Maxim and appointed him to serve You in Your Holy Temple - also free the foul and unclean me, and grant me to serve Your righteousness, and work tirelessly without laziness To you, my Lord Jesus Christ, all the days of my life, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen."

Prayer against smoking to St. John Chrysostom

Also, in difficult moments of despair, prayer to St. John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople, keeps you on the right path.

O great saint John Chrysostom! You have received many and varied gifts from the Lord, and as a good and faithful servant, you have multiplied all the talents given to you for good: for this reason, you were truly a universal teacher, as every age and every rank comes from you. Behold, you appeared as an image of obedience to the youth, a luminary of chastity to the young, a mentor to the husband of industriousness, a teacher of kindness to the old, a rule of abstinence to the monk, an inspired leader from God to those who pray, an enlightener of wisdom to those who seek the mind, an inexhaustible source of living words to the branches of kind words, a star of mercy to the benefactors, an image to those in charge of the wise government. , an inspirer of truth for the zealots of boldness, a mentor of truth for the sake of the persecuted, patience: you were everything to everyone, and you saved everyone.

Over all these you have acquired love, which is the sauce of perfection, and with that, as if by the power of the Divine, you have united all the gifts in your soul into one, and this same love, shared and reconciling, in the interpretation of the words of the apostles, you preached to all the faithful. We are sinners, having our own gift for one thing, the unity of the soul and the union of the world are not imams, but we are vanity, irritating each other, envious of each other: for this sake of the gift, our divided not into peace and salvation, but into enmity and condemnation turned over to us . In the same way, we fall to you, the saint of God, overwhelmed by discord, and in contrition of heart we ask: with your prayers drive away from our hearts all the sorrow and envy that divides us, so that in many places we may remain one church body without restraint, so that according to your prayerful words we may love each other friend. Amen.

Prayer against smoking to Saint Tikhon of Voronezh

A prayer to St. Tikhon of Voronezh, the Wonderworker of Zadonsk, will help support the spirit in the fight against the evil of tobacco.

O saint, our father Tikhon! Hear us and try to beg the Lord with your favorable intercession, may He add His great and rich mercy to us, His sinful and unworthy servants (names), may He heal with His grace the incurable ulcers and scabs of our corrupted souls and bodies, may He dissolve our petrified hearts with tears of tenderness and contrition for our many sins and may He deliver us from eternal torment and the fire of Gehenna, may He grant us peace and silence, health and salvation in this present world, so that we may be worthy, with the angels and with all the saints, to glorify and sing the All-Holy Name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.

I would like to remind you once again that prayer is a purely personal, secret matter. Like any matter in Orthodoxy, prayers for healing must begin with the blessing of the priest and on his advice. Don’t expect that mechanical repetition of prayers will help you resist, although - if saying them in such a way helps, distracts, gives strength, then that’s wonderful.
“And when you pray, do not repeat the same things, as people from other nations think that they will be heard because of their many words.” (Matthew 6:7).

“If you start something and don’t see God’s will for it,” exhorts St. Gregory the Theologian, “don’t do it for anything. Do not leave the will of God to do the will of people.”

So, dear reader, before you light a cigarette again, remember the advice of the Monk Silouan and think if you could first read the “Our Father” or mentally take a blessing for this, undoubtedly important matter for you.

“You write that you cannot stop smoking tobacco. What is impossible with man is possible with the help of God; You just have to firmly decide to quit, realizing the harm it causes to the soul and body, since tobacco relaxes the soul, multiplies and intensifies passions, darkens the mind and destroys bodily health with a slow death. – Irritability and melancholy are consequences of the morbidity of the soul from smoking.

I advise you to use spiritual healing against this passion: confess in detail all your sins, from the age of seven and throughout your life, and partake of the Holy Mysteries, and read the Gospel daily, standing, a chapter or more; and when melancholy strikes, then read again until the melancholy passes; will attack again and read the Gospel again. “Or instead, place 33 large bows in private, in memory of the earthly life of the Savior and in honor of the Holy Trinity,” was the answer received from the Monk Ambrose by one layman, a heavy smoker, who turned to the saint for advice, having been unable to cope with this destructive problem himself. passion. After reading the letter, he lit a cigarette, but suddenly felt a strong headache and at the same time an aversion to tobacco smoke - and did not smoke at night. The next day I mechanically lit a cigarette several times, but the pain returned and did not allow me to swallow the smoke. So I quit. After some time, this man came to the elder to personally thank him. The Monk Ambrose touched his head with his wand - and the pain has not returned since then for any reason.

Turning to saints for help in various needs is a huge practice in Russia. The saints intercede for us, helping us to avoid the consequences of the sins we commit, the very nature of which is disobedience to the will of God and, as a consequence, inevitable punishment. Not for sins, but the sins themselves punish us, turning us away from God's blessing and God's help. Therefore, the stronger our desire to receive help from God, the more persistently we should seek it in prayers to the Lord, the Most Holy Theotokos and the saints of God. For example, publishers know of specific cases of healing from the disease of tobacco smoking through prayers before the Kazan Icon of the Mother of God, as well as the miraculous healing of the famous Orthodox publisher S. A. Nilus, who smoked mercilessly for 33 years, through prayers before the Icon of the Mother of God Hodegetria of Smolensk. Smokers were healed through prayers to Blessed Xenia of St. Petersburg, saints royal martyrs, as well as through the prayers of the pious relatives of the smoker, who order the reading of the Psalter for him; for health and prayer services in monasteries.

But within church walls it is easier to concentrate and understand the essence of sin, and ask for strengthening of the spirit.
Reading the prayer text once will not help. You need to pray several times a day, especially in those moments when your hand involuntarily reaches for a cigarette and there is no way to endure this vile state.
It is advisable to memorize the prayer and, just in case, have its handwritten text in your bag or pocket.
An Orthodox person begins any good deed with the blessing of the cleric of the local church. This also applies to trying to quit smoking. In addition, the priest, knowing about the problem, will also pray for the smoker.
You need to pray slowly and concentratedly, in solitude with yourself. It is advisable to kneel before the face of the saint to whom the prayer is addressed. Hold the prayer book in your left hand, and apply the sign of the cross to yourself with your right.
After finishing reading the prayer, you need to cross yourself three times and turn to God with a request for help to quit smoking.

Saint John Chrysostom, Archbishop of Constantinople

In addition to independent prayer work, it is necessary to attend Sunday services, confess, and receive communion.

More about prayer:

You should not hope that just reading a prayer will help you get rid of smoking. Of course, it will reduce cravings, but will not completely eliminate the sinful habit. Constant and daily independent work over yourself.

Important! The Monk Ambrose of Optina recommended that whenever you want to smoke, make 33 prostrations to the ground, then read the “Our Father,” and do so until you overcome addiction. This method has actually helped many former smokers. And, of course, to help the sufferers, confession, communion and daily reading of the Gospel.

From the point of view of the Church, the habit of smoking is tantamount to fornication, idol worship, pride, self-love, which is sin. This illness is an evil parody of burning incense, but not in the name of Christ. Pray daily, starting your morning with prayer and ending your day with it. Only in this way is it possible to overcome this sin forever.

Attention! Religion does not prohibit drug therapy, so it can be used in conjunction with prayer work. But the Orthodox Church categorically does not approve of turning to magicians, hypnosis and conspiracies.

Prayer against smoking will be an effective remedy only if a person has a strong desire in his soul to quit smoking. For a faster effect, prayer must be combined with traditional treatment methods.

In Christianity, smoking is equated with fornication, which is a sin. Therefore, prayer helps to realize this. That is why every word and phrase of the prayer text should be pronounced consciously. Only patience and sincere faith in the soul will help you cope with destructive passion with the help of prayer.

In order to get rid of smoking, you need to be patient, because you will have to pray for it long time. You need to pronounce prayer words slowly and with deep understanding. It is important at the time of prayer to discard all extraneous thoughts and focus only on the desire to quit smoking. It is important to force yourself to imagine that life after quitting nicotine will become brighter and more joyful. During prayer, you should completely focus on your goal.

Also, to strengthen the reading of prayers against smoking at home, you can additionally order a prayer service in the temple. It is advisable to attend Sunday services and actively participate in them. Prayer for smoking cessation is, of course, a very effective remedy, but you should not rely on it alone. It is important to show willpower and control the number of cigarettes you smoke. If withdrawal periodically occurs, then you should make an effort and overcome yourself, and you need to start praying more often and more diligently. You definitely need to believe in the strength of your own natural character and that with the help of higher powers, you will definitely be able to get rid of your destructive passion.
