Such prayer can lift a person’s spirit, give him strength to accomplish worldly affairs, and even revive his desire to live.
A selection of prayers to the Guardian Angel for all occasions for help, good luck and health.
How to pray to the Guardian Angel correctly
It is better to read the prayer in front of the image of the Angel. The guardian on the icon shines with the light of God's glory. Every person can pray before any image of an Angel, because all Angels are similar to each other. That is, when purchasing an icon of the Guardian Angel, you pray to him as your protector.
The icon is placed in your home iconostasis, in the “red corner” - opposite the door, by the window, or in any clean and bright place. You must always pray with attention and sincere faith in help, in the fact that even the weak prayer of an ordinary, non-holy person will reach your personal Heavenly assistant - an Angel, and he will intercede for you before God.
What is the role of a guardian angel in a person’s life?
Everyone knows that the main enemy of humanity is the devil. He used to be an angel, but he became proud and rebelled against God, dragging along thousands of winged followers. For this daring action, the devil was cast into fiery Gehenna along with his comrades. This is how evil appeared.
The Lord created man in his own image and likeness, and also endowed him with free will and loved him. The devil is extremely angry with the Creator, so he set out to destroy man. In the Garden of Eden, the serpent managed to achieve his goal and seduced Eve and Adam. People were expelled from Eden, and the devil celebrated his victory. Since then, the human soul has been a battlefield of light and darkness. And since a person is free to choose, demons try to wrap a gullible soul around their finger and destroy it.
So why is the Orthodox version logical? For the reason that an unbaptized person will not be saved, this is written in the Gospel. And if so, then there is no need to destroy him, he will die himself. Therefore, the attention of demons to him is minimal. A person who does not know the truth, who does not see the path to salvation, has signed his own death sentence, if you believe Orthodox dogmas.
But a baptized Christian can be saved, so demons attack him especially strongly. To help a faithful child, God gives a guardian angel. The theory of saving only the elect also has many opponents, but that’s a completely different story.
To summarize the above, it is necessary to clarify: there is no genuine knowledge about guardian angels, so it is impossible to say for sure how many of them a person has and whose version is correct. But the context of this article, intended for Christians, provides for the presence of one disembodied intercessor, according to the tenets of the Orthodox faith.
Prayers to the Guardian Angel for all occasions
Prayer to the Guardian Angel is the invisible shield of an Orthodox Christian, a strong protection from evil, because these heavenly beings are constantly fighting with demons for the souls of people.
Holy Angel, accompanying my sinful soul and my passionate life, do not leave me, a sinner, do not depart from me because of my intemperance. Do not let the evil demon possess me through the violence of my mortal body; hold me by my weak hand and guide me on the path of salvation. Oh, holy Angel of God, guardian and patron of my sinful soul and unclean body, forgive me everything with which I offended you all the days of my life, and everything I sinned with this past night, cover me in the coming day, and save me from any temptation, so that I do not anger God with any sin, and pray to the Lord for me, so that He will confirm me in His fear, and see me worthy as a servant of His grace. Amen.
First prayer: every day
This prayer is usually read after waking up, as part of morning prayers. But there is no strict time limit; you can pray during the day, on the way to work, or while walking the dog. The place where the prayer is read is completely unimportant. Only the mood matters. Read the lines carefully and try to understand the meaning. The prayer speaks of heartfelt contrition, repentance and regret for one’s sins. Next, the prayer asks the guardian angel for intercession before the Lord.
“O holy Angel, my good guardian and patron! With a contrite heart and a painful soul, I stand before you, praying: hear me, your sinful servant (name), crying with a strong cry and a bitter cry; Do not remember my iniquities and untruths, in whose image I, the accursed one, anger you all day and hour, and commit abomination to myself before our Creator, the Lord; Show yourself merciful to me and do not leave me, the vile one, even until my death; awaken me from the sleep of sin and with your prayers help me to pass through the rest of my life without blemish and create fruits worthy of repentance; moreover, protect me from the mortal falls of sin, so that I will not perish in despair, and may the enemy not rejoice over my destruction.
I truly confess with my lips that no one is such a friend and intercessor, protector and champion, like you, holy Angel: for standing before the Throne of the Lord, pray for me, indecent and most sinful of all, so that the Most Good One will not take away my soul on the day of my hopelessness and day of creation of evil. Do not cease to propitiate the Most Merciful Lord and my God, may He forgive me the sins that I have committed in all my life, in deed, in word and with all my feelings, and in the image of fate, may He save me, may He punish me here according to His ineffable mercy, but yes He will not convict or punish me according to His impartial justice; may he make me worthy to bring repentance, and with repentance may I be worthy of receiving Divine Communion, for this I pray more and I earnestly desire such a gift.
In the terrible hour of death, be persistent with me, my good guardian, driving away the dark demons that have the power to frighten my trembling soul; protect me from those traps, when the Imam passes through airy ordeals, yes, we protect you, I will safely reach the paradise I desire, where the faces of the saints and heavenly Powers constantly praise the all-honorable and magnificent name in the Trinity of the glorified God, the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, to Him honor and worship are due forever and ever. Amen."
Prayer to the Guardian Angel for good luck
There is a small book “Reflections dedicated to the Guardian Angel for each day of the month.” From it you can learn a lot about nature and the help of Guardian Angels.
I hear your voice in my soul, holy Guardian Angel, and as a man lost and abandoned by a treacherous friend, I turn to you: be my savior. Like a warrior disarmed and covered with wounds, drawn into captivity by a fierce winner, I turn to you, heavenly Intercessor: take me under your roof.
As an unfortunate person who has fallen into the hands of robbers threatening death, I turn to you, heavenly Messenger: be my protector.
Like a sailor who is shipwrecked and swallowed up by the waves, I appeal to you, Bearer of heavenly power: save me.
Like a traveler walking in the darkness of the night and suddenly seeing a gaping abyss in front of him, from which an outstretched hand grabs and drags me away, I resort to you, heavenly Guardian of my life: save me.
Like a child resting in a sweet sleep and during sleep torn from the arms of his father and mother, and awakening in a dark prison, I turn to you, heavenly Cover of my weakness: be my deliverer!
Like a poor orphan, abandoned without protection among fierce villains, I resort to you, Guardian Angel, show me your mercy, preserve in me the fruit of the redemption of Jesus Christ.
His blood sanctified my soul; He entrusted her to your protection. And I entrust it to you, and I put myself under your protection. You are my hope, my refuge, my salvation.
Guardian angel - assistant, protector, mentor and psychologist?
Attributing human qualities to an intercessor given by the Lord is wrong. The Guardian will not cover you when you are mindlessly running across the road in front of the hood of an SUV, will not snatch a cigarette from a teenager’s hands, will not relieve you of depression. Angels obey God, but man does not obey anyone, he is the owner of free will. Therefore, a guardian angel cannot prevent a person’s desire, for example, to jump from a roof, but can direct the flight in such a way as to save life, if it is the will of God.
Salvation from a fall from a height is well described in the life of Seraphim of Sarov. As a little boy, the future saint fell from a bell tower and remained alive. Afterwards, the baby told his frightened mother that the angels took him and carried him. The Lord, who knew who this child would become, created a miracle. Thus, God predetermined the choice of his child and showed him the subtle world. The childhood experience sank deeply into the soul of the merchant’s son, and at the age of 16 Seraphim entered a monastery.
The same thing happens to people to this day. A series of accidents, miraculous phenomena. incredible events can be regarded as the help of a guardian angel. His invisible help is especially felt when a person prays. In the Orthodox faith, it is generally accepted that an angel is a conductor between God and man. The Guardian can contact the Creator directly and ask for us.
Prayer to the Guardian Angel for children
Every person has a Guardian Angel who protects him from the moment of Baptism; this is why babies are baptized - so that the Lord, through the Angel, will protect, educate, and protect him. With your prayers you help him protect his child.
Oh, my holy Angel, my benefactor and protector and my child! I resort to your mercy, keep the child under your holy cover all the days of my life and at the very hour of death.
I entrust to you my soul and my body, my hopes and my consolations, my sorrows and my sorrows, my life and the end of my life; let your mind and your will be the law for thoughts and deeds, that I may fulfill the will of my Lord Jesus Christ, who reigns with the Father and the Holy Spirit forever and ever.
Who is the Guardian Angel and what does prayer addressed to him give?
First, let's remind ourselves how we even know that each of us has our own Guardian Angel. It is natural for the wave that we absorbed the thought of the Guardian Angel during our entry into the Church and now perceive it as a priori. If you ask yourself: is there any direct reference to Guardian Angels in the Holy Scriptures? Then, probably, most of us will not immediately remember them. Well, if we carefully read the Gospel, we cannot help but know the words of Christ spoken by Him during the dispute between the disciples about who is greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven: “See that you do not despise one of these little ones; for I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of My Father in heaven” (Matthew 18:10). Before this, the Savior set the child as an example to the apostles, but His speech was not only about children.
From the words of Christ it becomes clear that each of the “little ones” has his own Angel, and contempt for the “little one” is fraught, let’s say, with a conflict with this Angel, who will rush to intercede for his ward. Naturally, the Angel will not actually cut anyone with a sword or stab with a spear, because his intercession is in the nature of a prayerful intercession before God, which is much more important than any other protection. When I talk with people who want to baptize their children, I always ask whether they understand why this is necessary, what baptism gives a person? One of the most common answer options is precisely based on the opinion that baptism exists so that the child has a Guardian Angel, which, as if by itself, is a very strong defense. However, we all understand perfectly well that a priest is not a shaman or a sorcerer who, through certain techniques, manipulations and spells, will call an Angel from Heaven and force him to guard the specified person. The Guardian Angel is, first of all, a prayer book and a mentor who “sees the face of the Father.” We ourselves seem to know how to pray a little, we offer God both our requests and prayers of thanks, but we constantly have to overcome a whole heap of our own thoughts, we are constantly distracted, fly away, while the Angel is deprived of all these consequences of human sin. It seems to me that this is where, so to speak, the power of his intercession is most manifested, which is why we turn to our personal heavenly intercessor both morning and evening.
But let’s return to the words of Christ and see where we got the idea that we can consider ourselves those very “little” ones, and therefore the Angels assigned to us as personal intercessors. St. John Chrysostom argues that the “little ones” are not those who are actually small in the literal sense, but those who are poor and despised in the society around us, who are labeled “small” by the opinion of the majority. These, of course, include Christians. Even just statistics will tell us about this. I will not write specific numbers here, since they are not at all difficult to find on the Internet, I will only note the fact that the number of Orthodox Christians in relation to the total population of the planet does not exceed two percent. At the same time, we must remember that official data does not take into account nominal Christians, and if we counted only those who approach the Chalice on Sundays and holidays, then the numbers would be much more deplorable.
If we ignore all this mathematics, we also cannot help but remember that Christianity remains today the most persecuted religion on earth, and we are talking here not only about traditionally Muslim or Hindu territories. Even in our “enlightened” and “civilized” society, Christians are either hated or simply tolerated, although, given the modern BLM and Antifa movements, as well as legislative initiatives in China, it is becoming increasingly difficult to tolerate. How can you not believe the words of the holy righteous John of Kronstadt, who directly said that the “little ones” are Christians. He, of course, did not have the Internet, and he could not quickly find modern statistics, but he derived his thoughts from Christ’s parable “About the Mustard Seed,” a grain that is smaller than all the grains on earth. And here we again hear the words of Father John about Angels. He wonders: if Christ calls His followers, i.e. Christians, “lesser brothers” (Matthew 25:40), then who are the “elder brothers”? I think that many have already guessed that the “elder brothers” are the Angels who “see the face of the Father.”
Prayer to the Guardian Angel for trade
The tradition of prayer for successful trade is known to merchants, traders, traders and businessmen of all times. In trade and business, the factor of chance plays a very important role. In difficult circumstances, people always discern the will of God. The Church blesses successful thinking and the development of one’s business. After all, material security is the key to a good education for children, a strong family, and support for people in need.
Accept my tearful prayer, holy Guardian Angel, my faithful protector! Fear penetrated my bones, grief crushed my entire soul. Why did I, crazy man, leave you? Why didn’t I turn to you when I was tempted? I became the slave of a demon, a terrible creature rejected by God.
I gave him my soul for vain pleasure, for momentary pleasure. For him I betrayed my God. Alas! Nothing can compare to my misfortune! Pray for me, holy Angel, ask the merciful God to forgive me for my iniquities.
Prayer four: for children
A mother's prayer can retrieve a child from the bottom of the sea. Of course, this is impossible to even dream about these days, but it is still important. Many atheists and doubters are interested in the question: if God is love, why does he allow the illness and death of young children?
Professor of Theology at the Moscow Theological Academy A.I. Osipov explains that a family is a single whole.
In general, all people are connected to each other, which is why it is so important to observe spiritual laws in relation to each other. But people of the same family are especially strongly connected, and the sins of parents sometimes lead to disastrous consequences for the entire family. If a child gets sick, this is a signal for a change in life. The professor's second answer also explains a lot. God allows illnesses out of love for his child. We don't know what a person's life will be like. Perhaps he will destroy his soul by causing pain and suffering to other people. Or maybe he himself will suffer all his life. By taking him as a child, the Lord saves him from suffering and introduces him to eternal life.
Why then does He leave us on earth? Only so that we can appreciate the love He gives us. Roughly speaking, without tasting the bitter, you won’t understand the sweet. And the children leaving us are already able to perceive the fullness of divine love, so any need in life disappears by itself.
From the point of view of parental grief, this is terrible. But if you understand that there is salvation beyond, everything falls into place. What mother doesn't want eternal life for her child?
“Holy Angel, Guardian of my child (name), cover him with your protection from the arrows of the demon, from the eyes of the seducer, and keep his heart pure. Amen."
Prayer before going to bed to the Guardian Angel
At bedtime they read a prayer to the Lord, the Mother of God and the Angel. The Church blesses you to read the prayer rule in the morning and evening, which is best agreed upon with the priest.
Angel of Christ, my holy guardian and patron of my soul and body, forgive me everything I have sinned today, and deliver me from any evil of the enemy, so that I do not anger my God with any sin; but pray for me, a sinful and unworthy servant, so that I may be worthy of the goodness and mercy of the All-Holy Trinity and the Mother of my Lord Jesus Christ and all the saints. Amen.

What is prayer?
Prayer is a special church text that is written in the prayer book. The publication contains canons for all occasions for conversion to both Jesus Christ, the Saints and the Guardian Angel. Orthodox people read prayer not only when a difficult day has come, but also in gratitude for every day they live. After reading the prayer text, a person’s soul becomes lighter; the individual was able to tell his innermost thoughts.
But not only canons are read according to a special prayer book. According to the church charter, it is allowed to address the Creator of all living things and the Saints in one’s own words. It is more important here that the words come from a pure heart, without evil thoughts. Only in this case will the Creator and the Reverends be able to hear the canon and help a person in need.

Your suggestions are sweeter to me than the honeycomb that melts in my mouth. They, acting on me with their secret power, penetrate the soul and revive the heart. One name of yours, one memory of you tames the worries of my soul. When the heat of passions inflames my feelings, the thought of you, like life-giving dew, cools them. You are the light of my eyes: always illuminate me with the holy rays of Divine truth. When the tempter comes to me in the guise of a friend, when evil approaches me, when my weak heart begins to deviate towards sin, let me hear your saving voice. When my heart surrenders to humility and patience, strengthen it with your suggestions. I am ready to listen to them - all your commands, if only you help, I will fulfill with joy.
Guardian angel! Inspire my heart with that Divine heat that ignited holy men who endured torment and suffering and even death itself with joy. For this, O my holy Angel, constantly remind me of eternity. A reminder of eternity is true wisdom, above all human wisdom. It arouses holy desires, enlightens the mind and strengthens spiritual vigor. But the enemy prevents it from penetrating my soul, and when it has penetrated it, the enemy tries to darken it. Angel of God, grant that the thought of eternity always occupies my mind; then the pleasures and treasures of this world will not seduce me: I will prefer to them sorrows and ruins, which sanctify and strengthen the soul with the power of grace. I will choose a humble life, removed from the vanities of the world, where in silence my eternal years will be the subject of my thoughts. Here I will spend all the minutes of my short existence in order to acquire those riches that I will enjoy with you throughout all eternity.
So the shadow of death surrounds me, oh, faithful Guardian, my Angel! My eyes were darkened, my heart was troubled, and my days were filled with sorrow. But constantly remind me of my God, of the bliss of His chosen ones, and my soul will come to life and be encouraged. I pray you, enrich my mind with an abundance of holy thoughts and strengthen in me the habit of pious reflections - root this virtue in me - correct my frivolity - remove from me dangerous impressions, vain conversations, sinful temptations. My heart is the temple of the Holy Spirit - protect it from all uncleanness - decorate it with the holiness of gracious inspirations - fill it with the fragrance of divine love and reverent prayer, may the Lord be glorified and blessed forever.
I consider it an absolute necessity for myself to become like you, my holy Angel, just as a brother is like his brother. I want to become like you and, out of the feeling of my love, I will agree with the desires of my heart with your pure desires. It is not the world, not the flesh, not pride, not vanity, not cowardice that will control me - no, I want to think, and reason, and love, and want, and act like you. Let your love be the rule for my feelings - let your purity be my purity - let your patience and humility teach me obedience and self-denial, so that I can always do the will of the Heavenly Father - let your deep reverence before the face of the Almighty teach me to deepen my thoughts into myself and love silent solitude. I am far behind your example, but you will help me, you will teach me, you will encourage me. When I ask you, you will not hesitate to appear and give advice on what I should improve on, what is missing in me - you will help me correct my shortcomings. Your love for me and my love for you will change me and make me like you. May God's mercy, which entrusted me to your love, be blessed forever and ever.

Prayer to the Guardian Angel for help in work
In any trouble, for example, in case of difficulties at work, do not forget to turn to your Guardian Angel, because he is your closest and first protector and patron.
Holy Angel, my Guardian! I have fallen far behind my example, but you will help me, you will teach me, you will encourage me.
When I ask you, you will not hesitate to appear and give advice in my soul on what I need to improve on, what is lacking in me; you will help me correct my shortcomings. Give me a good job!
Your love for me and my love for you will change me and make me like you. May God's mercy, which entrusted me to your love, be blessed forever and ever.

Prayer to Archangel Selafiel
Audio:
Holy Archangel of God Selafiel, give prayer to those who pray, teach me to pray with humble, contrite, concentrated and tender prayer. Oh, great Archangel of God Selafiel, you pray to God for people who believe, implore His mercy for me, a sinner, may the Lord deliver me from all troubles and sorrows, and illnesses, and from vain dreams of death and eternal torment, and the Lord of the Kingdom will favor me Heavenly with all the Saints forever. Amen.
