Every person, regardless of age and status, needs help, as well as support, and everyone hopes that in a difficult hour they will not leave him, but will be given self-confidence and strength. To do this, you should read prayers that help everyone and always (you can listen to them in the audio version in order to better remember the text of the prayer appeal and pronounce it yourself).

How does prayer help?

Prayer words are a kind of communication between a believer and the Lord, with the spiritual and invisible world. Reading a prayer text will help Orthodox Christians in various situations and conditions, namely:

• In finding peace of mind;
• When starting a business;
• To gain a sense of security when it becomes sad and bad;
• To give your family and friends the strength to cope with misfortunes and troubles;
• In overcoming various hardships, illnesses and sorrows;
• Or simply when there is a need to communicate with those who are above the addressee.

How to say prayers that help everyone and always

It should be remembered that in order to receive help from the Saints, it is not enough just to read a prayer service, you need to follow some rules:

• Before turning to the Lord, the Mother of God or the Guardian Angel for help, you should cleanse yourself of bad thoughts, open your heart and sincerely say a prayer service;
• It is necessary to read the prayers themselves once, but constantly. You can turn to the Saints at any time in the morning, during the day or in the evening hours.

And here are the prayers themselves, which will always come to the aid of the believer:

Our Father, Who art in heaven! May your name be hallowed; let your kingdom come; Thy will be done, as in heaven, and 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. For yours is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Angel of God, my holy guardian, given to me from the Lord from heaven, I diligently pray to you, enlighten me today and save me from all evil, guide me to a good deed and direct me to the path of salvation. Amen.

Prayer to the Council of 12 apostles, protecting from trouble and problems

Reverend Moses Murin

Oh, the great power of repentance! O immeasurable depth of God's mercy! You, Reverend Moses, was formerly a robber.

Stay with God!

Today, often in the hands of believing Christians, one can see prayer books - books that contain prayers to God for various occasions. In the morning and evening, such believers also often pray with memorized words. And many Christians directly declare that they do not pray to God, because they do not know prayers. What prayers do you need to know, and how to pray to God correctly?

A number of theologians teach their parishioners that prayer from the prayer book will help the believer and is pleasing to God. For example, in the book How to Pray According to the Teachings of the Holy Fathers (Moscow, 2002), the process of morning and evening prayer is described: "King of Heaven"; "Trisagion"; "Our Father"; “Lord, have mercy” - 12 times; “Come, let us worship”; Psalm 50; "Symbol of faith"; “Virgin Mother of God, rejoice” - 3 times. After that, 20 prayers “Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me” - bow to the earth with each prayer. Then another 20 of the same prayers and with each bow.

The Bible makes no such or similar demands. One of the disciples asked Jesus Christ: "God! teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1). Jesus Christ answered: “When you pray, speak…” and gave the text of the prayer “Our Father…” known to every Christian (Matthew 6:9-13, Luke 11:2-4). This is the only prayer to God that is desirable to know by heart. After all, it is very universal in its laconicism: it reveals the essence of God, points to the need for repentance, leads to the realization of our dependence on the Lord, and contains important instructions to people. But even this prayer, when presented in the two Gospels, has differences that prevent all believers from quoting it verbatim in the same way.

In addition to the prayer “Our Father”, the Lord, through His Word, nowhere gives examples of prayers, but says: “And whatever you ask in prayer, believing, you will receive” (Matthew 21:22); “Be persistent in prayer, being vigilant in it with thanksgiving” (Colossians 4:2); “Pray for one another” (James 5:16); “Pray with every prayer and supplication…” (Ephesians 6:18).

Based on the teachings of Jesus Christ, we can confidently say that you don’t need to read other people’s prayers to God from prayer books, learn them by heart, but you need to turn to God in your own words with faith: thank Him, ask for something, share joys and aspirations, that is be in constant prayerful communion with your heavenly Father.

Think about how, for example, you can read a memorized poem several times in a row, every day for decades, with all your heart. This is impossible, because over time you will get tired of reciting any work with expression and switch to “automatic”. The same is the case with prayer. After some time, whether you like it or not, a memorized prayer to God will acquire formality in your mouth. This means that prayer ceases to be prayer. After all, a real prayer is not a mantra or a spell, but a person’s personal appeal to the Creator, communication with Him. Proof of this is the psalms of David, each of which is an absolutely independent prayer - an appeal to the Creator.

There are many other examples of prayer appeals to God by the heroes of the Bible in the Holy Scriptures: Moses (see Exodus 8:30; 32:31, 32), Daniel (see Daniel 6:10; 9:3-21), Hezekiah (see 2 Kings 20:1-3) and others.

Shortcomings in the prayerful foundations of a number of churches are recognized by some of their representatives. So Archpriest Alexander Borisov (1939), a candidate of theology, writes in his book Whitened Fields: “Indeed, when reading ready-made, written prayers, attention is easily scattered - a person says one thing with his mouth, and his head can be completely occupied. others. This is absolutely impossible with free prayer in your own words. However, the latter is so unusual for our consciousness that even people who first entered the Church most often say: “I can’t even pray - I don’t know any prayers.” Indeed, when they enter the temple, they realize that people are praying there, but they are praying “according to books,” ready-made words, which, moreover, can be difficult to make out because of the incomprehensible Church Slavonic language and fuzzy pronunciation. And if so, then a person immediately gets the idea that otherwise it is simply impossible to pray. Prayer in this case is perceived as a kind of spell, which, if not pronounced with certain words in a certain order, will not be effective.

The well-known theologian, Bishop Theophan the Recluse (1815 - 1894) also called for praying to God in his own words in his work “Four Words on Prayer”: , she herself ascended to Him, and opened herself to Him and confessed what was in her and what she desired. For as from a vessel - overflowing - water pours out by itself; so from a heart filled with holy feelings through prayers, its own prayer to God will begin to burst out by itself.

Remember also that God in the Bible calls Himself our Father, and Jesus - Friend. Now answer how it will be more pleasant for the father: if his child runs up to him and is confused, sometimes incoherently, but complains from the heart that he hit or something doesn’t work out for him, or if the child tries to express his thought to dad by memorized quotes from others? Or, imagine what it would be like for a friend if you shared your experiences, joys or problems with him, reading out a speech made by someone on a similar topic?

If we reason about the teaching of Holy Scripture, then we can draw only one conclusion: you need to pray to God with your personal prayer directly. And at the same time, it is not necessary to go to church to pray, thinking that God will hear you only there. It must be remembered that the Creator hears and sees everything: “He is not far from each of us” (Acts 17:27). The Creator "looks into all our affairs" (Psalm 32:15) and knows even our thoughts, since He is the Knower of the Heart (Acts 1:24).

Jesus Christ gave the following instruction regarding prayer: “But you, when you pray, go into your room, and having shut your door, pray to your Father who is in the secret place; and your Father who sees in secret will reward you openly” (Matthew 6:6). This biblical text very accurately shows that prayer to God is a personal, secret, intimate appeal of a person to the Creator in a secluded place. This is exactly what the apostle Peter did - he retired to pray: “About the sixth hour, Peter went up on top of the house to pray” (Acts 10:9).

As noted above, the Bible teaches to pray to God constantly. This means that several times a day a believer should retire to pray to God, setting aside time for this. And the rest of the day, a person should always remember God's presence and maintain prayerful fellowship with Him. So, you can thank God for a new day, waking up, before getting out of bed; consult with Him while in a car or bus; communicate with the Creator at the workplace, closing your eyes for a couple of minutes, etc. Therefore, positions for prayer can be different, as with biblical heroes who prayed standing, sitting, lying down, and on their knees.

Of course, if a person has never prayed to God in his own words, it is difficult to start. To make it easier to cross this invisible barrier, you need to remember that the Lord is your Father, He loves you and wants to communicate with you. Having understood this, it is easier to pour out your requests, experiences and gratitude before the Heavenly Parent. At the same time, one must remember that earthly fathers can make mistakes, have shortcomings, since they are people. Heavenly Father is perfect, and His love for us is great and constant.

May your name be hallowed,

Give us our daily bread today;
And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors;

For yours is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Prayer for the consecration of every thing (priest)

To the Creator and Creator of the human race, the Giver of spiritual grace, the Giver of eternal salvation, Himself, Lord, send Your Holy Spirit with a heavenly blessing on this thing, as if armed with the power of heavenly intercession to those who want to use it, it will help to bodily salvation and intercession and help, oh Christ Jesus our Lord. Amen.

(And sprinkle the thing with holy water three times)

The Monk Seraphim of Sarov taught everyone the following rule of prayer:

Rising from sleep, every Christian, standing in front of the holy icons, let him read, then,.

Having made this rule, let him go about his business, for which he was appointed or called. While working at home or on the way somewhere, let him quietly read: Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me a sinner (or sinful) , and if others surround him, then, doing business, let him only speak with his mind: Lord have mercy and continues until noon.

Just before dinner, let him perform the above morning rule. After dinner, doing his job, he reads quietly: Holy Mother of God, save me a sinner (or sinful) or Lord Jesus Christ, Mother of God, have mercy on me a sinner (or sinful) and let this continue until sleep. Going to bed, let every Christian read the above morning rule again; after that, let him fall asleep, protecting himself with the sign of the cross.

“By adhering to this rule,” says Father Seraphim, “one can achieve a measure of Christian perfection, for the aforementioned three prayers are the foundation of Christianity: the first, as a prayer given by the Lord Himself, is the model of all prayers; the second was brought from heaven by the Archangel in greeting to the Virgin Mary, Mother of the Lord; The symbol, in short, contains the saving dogmas of the Christian faith. For those who, due to various circumstances, it is impossible to fulfill even this small rule, the Monk Seraphim advised to read it in any position: both during classes, and on walking, and even in bed, presenting the words of Holy Scripture as the basis for this: Whoever calls on the name of the Lord will be saved.

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

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.

Glory to Thee, our God, glory to Thee.

Heavenly King, Comforter, Soul of Truth, Who is everywhere and fills everything, Treasury of good things and Giver of life, come and dwell in us, and cleanse us from all filth, and save, O Blessed, our souls.

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

Holy Trinity, have mercy on us; Lord, cleanse our sins; Lord, forgive our iniquities; Holy One, visit and heal our infirmities, for Your name's sake.

Lord have mercy. (Three times)

Our Father, Who art in heaven! Hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, as in heaven and 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.
