Who are the neighbors?
Let's talk about this very briefly. Neighbors are not only blood relatives. These are friends, acquaintances, work colleagues, neighbors and all the people who surround us. You need to pray for them both in church and at home. But if there may be a hitch with the first option, then with the second everything is much simpler.
Why are there problems with prayer in church? Actually this is not true. We can submit notes on the health of our baptized neighbors. But the unbaptized cannot be commemorated in church. But at home, in cell prayer, you can. That's the whole difference.
What prayer for the health of loved ones exists? We'll talk about this below.
Remembering family and friends in prayer
Although all people are neighbors for a Christian, there are those for whom we bear the most responsibility before God - our relatives and household members: spouses, children, parents, grandparents, brothers, sisters, mother-in-law. You need to pray for them constantly, every day.
How to pray for relatives
The names of relatives must be included in the memorial and a prayer for them must be read at the end of the morning prayer rule.
Every time you come to church for the Liturgy, order notes about them. If particularly fervent prayers are required, you can order Sorokoust - a church commemoration during the next 40 Liturgies.
How to pray for a godson?
Being a godfather or godmother is a big responsibility. Godparents are directly involved in the baptism of the baby, and subsequently help the parents in his Christian upbringing.
In the event of the death of parents, godparents take care of the godchildren as if they were their own children.
In addition to the above, godparents are obliged to pray for the godson and teach him to pray himself.
A godfather can be a churchgoer who knows the basics of the Orthodox faith. In the last few years, preliminary - so-called clarification conversations - have been held in churches for parents and future godparents before baptism.
It is not necessary to have two godparents - there can be one godparent, of the same gender as the child.
Prayer of the godmother and godfather during the baptism of a child - what prayers should you know?
During baptism, the godfather, instead of the baby, answers the questions of the priest, asked three times:
- “Have you denied Satan?” (“Do you renounce Satan?”) - “I deny”, “I renounce” (“I renounce”, “I renounce”);
- “Have you joined Christ?” (“Do you combine with Christ?”): “I combine”, “I combine” (“I combine”, “I combined”).
After this, the godfather (or godmother) reads the Creed for the child.
The shortest prayer
Reading the morning rule, a Christian encounters this prayer. Those who go to church and regularly read the rule have guessed what it is about. For others, here is the text of this prayer:
Lord save and have mercy on my spiritual father (name), my parents (names), relatives, bosses, benefactors (names) and all Orthodox Christians.
This prayer for the health of relatives and friends (living) is read with a list of their names, as we can see. A similar prayer exists for repose.
If a loved one is sick
Many of us associate health with health. In the literal sense of the word. That is, we are talking about physical health.
Is there a prayer for the health of a loved one? As much as you like, for all occasions. This is not irony, but a statement of fact. In any illness, they pray to one or another saint. We will give the most common prayers that are resorted to during illness.
This prayer is read by the sick person himself:
Lord God, Master of my life, in Your goodness You said: I do not want the death of a sinner, but that he should turn and live. I know that this disease from which I suffer is Your punishment for my sins and iniquities; I know that for my deeds I have deserved the heaviest punishment, but, O Lover of Mankind, deal with me not according to my malice, but according to Your boundless mercy. Do not wish my death, but give me strength so that I patiently endure the disease as a well-deserved test, and after healing from it I turn with all my heart, with all my soul and with all my feelings to You, the Lord God, my Creator, and live to fulfill Your holy commandments, for the peace of my family and for my well-being. Amen.
What to do in a quarrel with a friend
A situation in which there is misunderstanding or even outright hostility between once close people deserves special attention. Unfortunately, in the modern world with its temptations it is very difficult to maintain sincere close relationships. It is easier for believers to do this, because they can call on spiritual forces for help.
What to do in a quarrel with a friend
The first thing you need to start with when hostility arises is to find your own fault in what is happening. It is extremely rare that there are situations when a long and close friendship is spoiled by one person. As a rule, both people are to blame to one degree or another for breaking contact. Sometimes it is enough to simply admit your guilt, and the conflict will be resolved.
But even in a situation where the other party does not agree to reconciliation and in the event of an admission of guilt, awareness of one’s mistakes will allow one to treat the situation calmly. If a person admits that he was wrong and sincerely seeks reconciliation, the Lord will definitely help him.
Important! In any quarrel, you need to look for compromises and make concessions, because close relationships are much more important than proudly proving your own rightness.
It will be much easier for a believer to meet a friend halfway in a quarrel, because the Orthodox faith always calls for humility and forgiveness of offenses. However, this does not mean at all that you cannot defend your own interests if a friend has turned into an outright offender and do not strive in any way to correct the situation. If you have done everything possible on your part for reconciliation, and in response you receive only continuous negativity, all that remains is to pray to the Lord to admonish the offender and restore good relations.
Prayer in Weakness
There is a prayer for every weakness of your neighbor. It is read as someone who is sick, relaxed, or suffering. The text goes like this:
Master Almighty, Physician of souls and bodies, humble and exalt, punish and again heal, visit our infirm brother (name) with Thy mercy, stretch out Thy arm, full of healing and healing, and heal him, restore him from his bed and infirmity, rebuke the spirit of infirmity, leave from him every ulcer, every disease, every wound, every fire and shaking. And if there is sin or lawlessness in him, weaken, forsake, forgive, for the sake of philanthropy.
Prayer for various ailments and illnesses
Find a prayer for the health of your loved ones and relatives, read for any illness. Contact Saint Spyridon of Trimythous for help. He is a famous miracle worker, and helps those who come to him with faith:
Oh, great and wonderful saint of Christ and wonderworker Spyridon, Kerkyra praise, bright luminary of the whole universe, warm prayer book to God and to all who come running to you and pray with faith, quick intercessor! You gloriously expounded the Orthodox faith at the Nicene Council among the Fathers, you showed the unity of the Holy Trinity with miraculous power, and you completely put the heretics to shame. Hear, O Saint of Christ, us sinners praying to you, and through your strong intercession with the Lord, deliver us from every evil situation: from famine, flood, fire and deadly plagues. For in your temporal life you delivered your people from all these disasters: you saved your country from the invasion of the Hagarians and from famine, you delivered the king from an incurable illness and brought many sinners to repentance, for the holiness of your life the angels invisibly sing in the church and You had fellow servants with you. Sitsa, therefore, glorify you, His faithful servant, Lord Christ, for you have the gift of understanding all the secret human deeds and denouncing those who live unrighteously. You diligently helped many who lived in poverty and lack, you nourished the poor people abundantly during famine, and you created many other signs through the power of the living Spirit of God in you. Do not forsake us either, Saint of Christ, remember us, your children, at the Throne of the Almighty, and beg the Lord to grant forgiveness of many of our sins, grant us a comfortable and peaceful life, a shameless and peaceful death, and eternal bliss in the future vouchsafe us, so that we may continually send glory and thanksgiving to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Prayer to Nicholas the Wonderworker
Saint Nicholas the Pleasant is a beloved saint who never leaves words addressed to him without a response. Prayers for health also do not go unanswered if they are said sincerely, without grumbling, with an ardent desire to receive healing, help and support. To help a loved one recover, you can turn to the saint with a prayer for your sister’s health.
O All Saint Nicholas! Intercessor and speedy helper of all the sorrowful and sick! Beg our Lord to forgive His servant (your name) for the sins that he committed out of ignorance or thoughtlessness. Ask Him to deliver your body and soul from the machinations of the devil, worldly diseases, from ordeals and eternal torment. Amen!
Prayers for the healing of mental illnesses
If we have dealt with prayer for the health of loved ones and relatives, now let’s talk about prayers for spiritual health.
We and our loved ones need them no less than those read for physical health. Nowadays there are no mentally healthy people; we are all affected by certain illnesses. Everyone has their own.
Have you noticed that a loved one is falling into despair? Pray for him to Saint John Chrysostom:
Oh, great saint John Chrysostom! You received many and varied gifts from the Lord and, like a good and faithful servant, you multiplied all the talents given to you for good: for this reason you were truly a universal teacher, as every age and every rank learns from you. Behold, you appeared as an image of obedience to the youth, a luminary of chastity to the young, a mentor of hard work to the husband, a teacher of kindness to the old, a teacher of kindness to the monk, a rule of abstinence to those who pray, an inspired leader from God to those who pray, an enlightener of the mind to those seeking wisdom, an inexhaustible source of living words to those who are kind-hearted, to those who do good. - the star of mercy, the ruler - the image of the wise, the zealot of truth - the inspirer of boldness, the righteousness for the sake of the persecuted - the mentor of patience: you were all, and you saved everyone. Above all of these you have acquired love, which is a bond of perfection, and with that, as if by the power of the Divine, you have united all the gifts in one person in one, and there you have preached the love shared reconcilingly, in the interpretation of the words of the apostles to all the faithful. We are sinners, we each have our own talent, we are not imams of unity of spirit in the union of peace, we are vain, annoying each other, envious of each other; For the sake of this gift, our being divided not into peace and salvation, but into enmity and condemnation was added to us. Moreover, 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 pride and envy that divides us, so that in many places we may remain one church body without restraint, and according to your prayerful words we will love each other and with one mind we confess the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, the Trinity, Consubstantial and Indivisible, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
In our crazy world, it is very difficult not to fall into despair and despondency. It’s enough to look at what’s happening in the world, read the news, or face constant aggression from friends. But with the help of prayer you can fight all the adversities of life.

All people need prayer. After all, everyone at least once in their life has experienced a feeling or need when they want to share their own joy or sorrow with a like-minded person. Each of us wants to receive support or simple sympathy.
Thus, the soul of every Christian can turn to the Almighty and pour out all its needs before the Father. Or you can turn to him to attract friends into your life. Everyone wants to receive admonition, help or blessing from Heavenly Father. But first you need to establish a living connection with God of souls - yours and his.
All believers have long known that without the help of the Lord a God-pleasing life, good deeds and good undertakings are impossible. And kind, earnest prayer for beloved friends will always protect the soul of the one to whom it is directed, as well as yours.
Also, such prayer can drive away despair, evil spirits, despondency, and sorrow from us. It brings grace to the inner world, and also inspires us to fight against everything sinful.
Making friends through prayers
Prayer for making friends is a way of divine influence that can cause a certain person to become friends or like us. Also, such an appeal to God helps to significantly strengthen existing friendships.
If your request is very strong and sincere, then your words can affect not only a certain person, but also all the people around you. Use special prayers to improve your relationships with the outside world. They are able to give you many friends and good acquaintances if you really need it.
Prayers for true friends
Such appeals to God are conventionally divided into three groups:
- To attract new friendships, such prayers are effective when a person is lonely and really wants to make a good, faithful friend;
- To strengthen or maintain friendly relations, prayer can help restore friendly contact after a quarrel. It is effective when the paths of friends diverge very sharply;
- For new acquaintances and friends - such prayer requests will help you establish contact with many people around you. Such requests can even help to please everyone around you.
About the reconciliation of friends
The clergy believe that finding a good friend is not at all difficult. But it is very difficult to carry this relationship through the years, and even strengthen it. After all, it often happens that people quarrel, but then do not reconcile.
It happens that you just can’t make peace. In order not to delay reconciliation with a person close to you, use special prayers for true friends. Pray for your friend's health and always take care of this relationship.
The following prayer must be read for twelve days. You need to pray morning and evening.
For a friend, for good luck in a relationship, they turn to the Almighty with these words:
“Lord God, bless and help me, the servant of God (your name). The angel walked from the throne to the royal gates, to the church itself. The Archangel Michael and the Mother of God were waiting for him at the gate.
They held a saber and a sword, they drove away evil spirits from the slave, with a saber and a sword they dispersed all quarrels, they stopped troubles.
Bring back, O God, peace and tranquility between the servants of God (your names), Strengthen their friendship and tranquility, and close the gates more firmly, So that their friendship is not broken and does not cease. And the key with which you lock your friendship, put it away so that no one can find it. Amen!"
Even if you make peace with your friend very quickly, within a few days, you still need to complete this ritual. Read it for twelve days.
In any case, turning to God will not harm you in any way, but on the contrary, it will even help strengthen your relationship. It might even make your friendship everlasting. If suddenly during this period reconciliation did not happen, then you need to take the initiative yourself and ask for forgiveness.
June 8 is considered the day of prayer for faithful friends. Believers claim that prayers to God on this day are especially strong.

The most common illness
This is drunkenness, which affects a large part of our men. And women who like to drink are not such a rare occurrence these days.
How to pray for them? Who to ask for help? Contact the martyr Boniface:
Oh, long-suffering and all-praised martyr Boniface! We now resort to your intercession; do not reject the prayers of us who sing to you, but graciously hear us. See our brothers and sisters, overcome by the serious illness of drunkenness, for the sake of their mother, the Church of Christ, falling away from eternal salvation. Oh, holy martyr Boniface, touch their hearts with the grace given by God, quickly raise them from the falls of sin and bring them to saving abstinence. Pray to the Lord God, for whose sake you suffered, that having forgiven us our sins, He may not turn His mercy away from His sons, but may He strengthen sobriety and chastity in us, and may His right hand help those who are sober to keep their saving vow to the end, day and night, in Him awake and give a good answer about Him to the terrible judgment. Accept, servant of God, the prayers of mothers who shed tears for their children; honest wives, weeping for their husbands, orphaned and wretched children, abandoned by the pianists, all of us, falling to your icon, and may this cry of ours come with prayers to the Throne of the Most High, granting to all through their prayers health and salvation of souls and bodies, especially the Kingdom Heavenly. Cover and protect us from the evil deception and all the snares of the enemy, in the terrible hour of our exodus, help us to pass through the airy ordeals without stumbling, and with your prayers deliver us from eternal condemnation. Pray the Lord to grant us unfeigned and unshakable love for our fatherland, before the enemies of the Holy Church, visible and invisible, so that God’s mercy will cover us for ever and ever. Amen.
And also - the akathist to the Most Holy Theotokos in front of Her icon “The Inexhaustible Chalice” has not been canceled.
Here we present a prayer before this image:
Oh, Most Merciful Lady! We now resort to Your intercession, do not despise our prayers, but mercifully hear us: wives, children, mothers and those obsessed with the serious illness of drunkenness, and for this, for the sake of our mother - the Church of Christ and the salvation of those who fall away, brothers and sisters, and heal our relatives. Oh, Merciful Mother of God, touch their hearts and quickly raise them from the falls of sin, bring them to saving abstinence. Pray to Your Son, Christ our God, to forgive us our sins and not to turn His mercy away from His people, but to strengthen us in sobriety and chastity. Accept, O Most Holy Theotokos, the prayers of mothers who shed tears for their children, of wives who weep for their husbands, of children, the orphaned and the poor, abandoned as lost, and of all of us who fall before Your icon. And may this cry of ours, through Your prayers, come to the Throne of the Most High. Cover and protect us from the evil trap and all the snares of the enemy, in the terrible hour of our exodus, help us to pass through the airy ordeals without stumbling, with Your prayers deliver us from eternal condemnation, may God’s mercy cover us for the endless ages of ages. Amen.
Is it possible to pray for a person of a different faith and how to do it correctly
From the point of view of the Orthodox Church, non-Christians, even if they are not atheists, are people who are not enlightened by the light of Christ and do not belong to the true Church. You should pray for them in the same way as for the unbaptized; you can light candles.
The question of how one should pray for heterodox Christians (Catholics, Protestants, Armenians, Copts) and whether in some exceptional cases it is permissible to remember them during a church service still remains open. Both among the supporters and opponents of such commemoration there were authoritative saints.
Love of money
There is such a passion as love of money. This is when a person is not interested in anything other than money. All his thoughts and desires are related to making a profit. Moreover, someone overwhelmed by this passion can be poor, no matter how strange it may sound. Poor people love money just as much as rich people. But for them, crunchy pieces of paper are pleasant - something distant and unattainable. Like a beautiful woman for whom men sigh, realizing that she will never belong to them.
How to save a relative obsessed with the passion of love of money? Pray for him to the Venerable Martyrs Fyodor and Vasily of Pechersk:
Rev. Fathers Theodora and Vasily! Look upon us mercifully and raise us to the heavenly heights of those who are devoted to the earth. You are a mountain in heaven, we are on earth below, removed from you, not only by place, but by our sins and iniquities, but we run to you and cry: instruct us to walk your path, enlighten us and guide us. Your entire holy life has been a mirror of every virtue. Do not stop, saints of God, crying out to the Lord for us. By your intercession, ask our All-Merciful God for the peace of His Church, under the sign of the militant cross, agreement in faith and unity of wisdom, destruction of vanities and schisms, affirmation in good deeds, healing for the sick, consolation for the sad, intercession for the offended, help for the needy. Do not disgrace us, who come to you with faith. All Orthodox Christians, having performed your miracles and beneficent mercies, confess you to be their patrons and intercessors. Reveal your ancient mercies, and those whose father helped us all, do not reject us, their children, who are marching towards you in their footsteps. Standing before your most honorable icon, as you are living beings, we fall down and pray: accept our prayers and offer them to the altar of God’s mercy, so that we may receive grace and timely help for our needs. Strengthen our cowardice and confirm us in faith, so that we undoubtedly hope to receive all the good things from the mercy of the Master through your prayers. Oh, great saints of God! Help all of us who flow to you with faith through your intercession to the Lord, and guide us all in peace and repentance to end our lives and move with hope into the blessed bosom of Abraham, where you now rest joyfully in your labors and struggles, glorifying God with all the saints , in the Trinity glorified, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Prayer for a younger sister
Miraculous words: a prayer for a younger sister in full description from all the sources we found.
We would be happy to imitate someone, to learn from someone the role of a caring, attentive, kind, but strict elder, but only from whom? So as not to turn into either an aunt, or a nanny, or a girlfriend? How to find your place, your role?
What can we say about the cases when we are separated from our younger ones by huge distances or sharp fragments of our parents’ marriages that still hurt?
Having already discovered the power of prayer for parents and for healing from hereditary sins, it is much easier to intercede for younger ones.
Faced with the concrete consequences of the family's past mistakes in the younger ones, it is easy and joyful to ask for the best for them from the Master of All.
It becomes much easier to create a good first impression of them, to praise them, to be happy that you have them. The thought that you are clay from which the Master sculpts something unknown to us, but definitely beautiful, gives us hope.
Prayers for family and friends
Friends, good afternoon. I present to your attention a small collection of prayers read for family and friends. Pray for your neighbors and live in harmony with everyone.
Orthodoxy places special importance on the family tree. It is believed that the fate of each person largely depends on how his ancestors lived and how his relatives live now.
All people are spiritually connected to each other, but the family connection binds each member of the family much stronger and more tangible.
If a tree begins to get sick, then all the leaves on the tree begin to wither; if anger and hatred appear in the family, then the entire family begins to “wither,” which affects the life of every person in the family.
To prevent this from happening, pray for your entire family, and your life, as well as the life of your relatives, will become much better.
Connections with loved ones are as strong as those of family, so pray for your loved ones and love each other.
Prayer for relatives
Save, O Lord, and have mercy on my parents (names), brothers and sisters, and my relatives according to the flesh, and all the neighbors of my family, and friends, and grant them Your peaceful and most peaceful goodness.
Keep my parents, brothers, sisters, wife, children and all the neighbors of my family in health and long life. Deliver them from all sorrow and need, grant them an abundance of earthly fruits and be their helper in all good endeavors.
Return me to them safely in your time, so that, rejoicing in Your mercy, we may always bless Your all-holy name, the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit.
Prayers for others
Lord, bless me to bring prayers and supplications to Your Compassion for my insignificance and for all my relatives and friends, both living and deceased, for whom You died on the cross.
Prayer of St. Righteous John of Kronstadt about love for neighbors
Grant me, Lord, to love every neighbor of mine as myself, always, and not to become embittered towards him for any reason and not to work for the devil.
Let me crucify my self-love, pride, covetousness, lack of faith and other passions.
Let our name be: mutual love; Let us believe and trust that the Lord is everything to all of us; let us not worry, let us not worry about anything; may You, our God, be the only God of our hearts, and besides You there is nothing.
Let us be in the unity of love among ourselves, as it should be, and let everything that separates us from each other and separates us from love be in contempt for us, like dust trampled under foot. Wake up! Wake up!
If God has given Himself to us, if He abides in us and we in Him, according to His true word, then what will He not give me, what will He spare me, what will He deprive me of, what will He forsake me?
The Lord shepherds me and will deprive me of nothing (Ps. 23:1).
So, be very calm, my soul, and know nothing but love.
This commandment I command you, that you love one another (John 15:17)
Mother's prayer for children (Compiled by St. Ambrose of Optina)
God! Creator of all creatures, adding mercy to mercy, You have made me worthy to be the mother of a family; Your grace has given me children, and I dare to say: they are Your children! Because You gave them existence, revived them with an immortal soul, revived them through baptism for a life in accordance with Your will, adopted them and accepted them into the bosom of Your Church
God! Manage me to impress with indelible marks on the minds and hearts of my children the fear of partnerships with those who do not know Thy fear, to instill in them every possible distance from any alliance with the lawless; let them not listen to rotten conversations; Let them not listen to frivolous people; May they not be led astray from Your path by bad examples; Let them not be tempted by the fact that sometimes the path of the wicked is successful in this world.
Heavenly Father! Grant me the grace to take every possible care to tempt my children with my actions, but, constantly bearing in mind their behavior, to distract them from errors, correct their mistakes, curb their stubbornness and obstinacy, refrain from striving for vanity and frivolity, so that they do not get carried away by crazy thoughts; Let them not follow their own hearts; Let them not forget You and Your Law.
May iniquity not destroy their mind and health, may sins not weaken their mental and physical strength. Righteous Judge, who punishes children for the sins of their parents to the third and fourth generation, turn away such punishment from my children, do not punish them for my sins, but sprinkle them with the dew of Your grace; let them advance in virtue and holiness; May they increase in Your favor and in the love of pious people.
First prayer
Lord our God, remember us, Thy sinful and indecent servants (names), always call on us Thy holy name, and do not disgrace us from the hope of Thy mercy, but grant us, Lord, all the petitions for salvation, and make us worthy to love, and fear You with all our hearts, and do Your will in everyone. For You are a Good and Lover of Mankind, and we send glory to You, to the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Second prayer
Sovereign Lord! Yours is the day and Yours is the night. All creation works for You, and every breath glorifies You; We, Thy accursed servants (names), having ended our entire life in fornication, are possessed by fear, as we have remembered the first days, and to this day, in the nyaz all the placeless creators of evil; And for this reason, the imams do not have boldness towards You, for our iniquities are great, and our sins are immeasurable, and enemies always strike us with cold.
But, our Lord, Lord, who opened the mouth of the dumb, open also our mouth, that we may speak in prayer pleasing to You; Behold, our souls are like waterless land and cannot bear fruit for themselves, but give us from the Seed of Your Holy Spirit and water us with the dew of Your grace, so that we may bring You the fruit of repentance.
Lord Jesus Christ, although all mankind may be saved, hear our prayer, through the prayers of the saints, Thy apostles, as they pray for us, and we ask You for forgiveness, as You always listen to their prayers; through their prayer, save us sinners, heal the illnesses of our hearts, heal the scabs of our souls, kindle our wombs with the flame of Your fear, may the thorns of our sins be girded, and our souls may be cool with love, for we wish for You, the True Light and Giver of Light, You alone We ask for mercy, save us: satisfy our hungry souls and give drink to our thirsty souls from the flow of countless Thy mercy: cover us with the grace of Thy love for mankind from all evil, so that by Thy guarding, we will get rid of the many snares of the evil one, which are being pierced upon us all day long, and may our enemies not boast about us, Your servants, who trust in You.
Save us by Thy mercy, that we may repay our vows, repent of our sins until our last breath, and glorify Thy most holy name, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Prayer three
Lord Jesus Christ, Only Begotten Son, Who art in the bosom of the True Father, God, Source of life and immortality, Good Shepherd of Your verbal sheep, do not deliver us, Your sinful servants (names), into the joy of reproach by the enemy, seeking repentance for the right path. Strengthen us, O Mercifully, with Your mighty right hand.
Without Your help we cannot do anything for ourselves; Keep us sleeping, protect us on the way, protect us from adversity, save us from enemies, remove us from carnal lusts; Satisfy our hearts with the joy of salvation, keep our flesh pure, protect our thoughts with Your mercy.
You rule, Lord, and establish us, as Your true saints, to work for You all our days and boast of the majesty of Your mercy, and grant us to rejoice. For You are our God, and we are Your servants, for You know no other God.
For You are Merciful and Lover of Mankind, and we send up glory to You, with the Father and the Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.
Prayer four
Do not enter with Your servants (names) into judgment, Christ, for we are aware of the sins that condemn us, and we cry to You: through the prayers of You who gave birth to You, have mercy on us, humble and unworthy, like a thief and a harlot, a tax collector and a prodigal, O Lover of mankind, for you have not come to save the righteous, but more so sinners.
Fifth prayer
God! Don’t leave us, who leave you every minute! Do not reject us, who constantly betray You! Help us, Your servants (names), darkened by the darkness of sins and misfortunes! Receive Your love, mercy and care!
Elder Eustratius Glinsky's prayer for his neighbors
Lord, give me a spirit of meekness, so that I may be meek towards my neighbors and refrain from anger.
Grant me the spirit of humility, so as not to think highly of myself and not to be proud.
Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos for family and friends
O Most Holy Virgin, Mother of the Lord Most High, All-Merciful Intercessor and Patroness of all who come running to You with faith!
Look from the height of Your heavenly glory on the servants of God (names) and on us, falling at Your foot, hear the humble prayer of us, sinful and unworthy Thy servants, and offer it before Your beloved Son.
Oh, Most Blessed Mother of God! You, who are called Quick to Hear and Joy to all who mourn, hear us, the sorrowful; You, called the Quenching of Sorrow, quench our mental illnesses and sorrows;
You, Kupino the Burning, save the world and all of us from the harmful fiery arrows of the enemy; You, Seeker of the lost, do not let us perish in the abyss of our sins; You, Healer of the afflicted, heal us who are wounded by mental and physical infirmities; You, Unexpected Joy, with the joy of Your salvation have taken away from us the fear of future torment; You, the Helper of sinners, be also for us, sinners, the Benevolent Helper of our repentance and salvation.
In You, according to God, we place all our hope, may we become the Vigilant Intercessor and All-Powerful Representative before Your Son, our Lord Jesus Christ; strengthen our faith in Him, confirm us in His love, teach us to love and glorify You, the Most Holy Mother of God, the Most Blessed Mary; We entrust ourselves to Your Almighty Protection, Mother of God, for all eternity. Amen.

Dejection
Another sin that is mortal. In its meaning it is close to despair.
Despondency pushes people to various terrible acts. Including suicide, harming your neighbors. What to do if you see that a loved one is depressed and does not want or cannot get out of this state for some reason?

Prayer for loved ones to be healthy and alive
Detailed description from several sources: “prayer for loved ones to be healthy and alive” - in our non-profit weekly religious magazine.
Matrona of Moscow is a blessed old woman who lived in the twentieth century. Her real name is Matrona Dimirievna Nikonova. May 2 is considered the day of honoring her memory; it was on this day that the saint peacefully departed to the Lord.
And after death, she helps all those who suffer: she helps in finding a job, protects them from evil people, saves families, returns faded love, helps women get pregnant, and the prayer to Matrona of Moscow for the health of loved ones truly works wonders.
The old woman convinced people that the body is a kind of house given by God, and it needs to be repaired periodically, with prayer, without refusing medical prescriptions.
Miracle of birth and life
Matronushka was born in 1881 into a poor family. From birth, the girl was blind; she did not even have eye sockets (they were covered with skin). The mother wanted to leave the newborn in the shelter, but after a dream, which she considered prophetic, in which she imagined a huge white-winged bird with closed eye sockets sitting on her chest, the God-fearing mother abandoned her sinful intention.
From childhood, the girl was devout and spent a lot of time in church. There was a bulge on her chest - a miraculous pectoral cross.
As a teenager, Matrona received the gift of healing and began to heal people who turned to her with prayers to the Almighty. People left food and gifts as gratitude.
Thus, the girl became the main breadwinner in the family, significantly improving her poor situation.
One day, the relatives of a man whose legs were paralyzed turned to Matrona. Without thinking twice, Matrona ordered him to crawl to her himself tomorrow. The unfortunate man crawled a distance of 4 kilometers, but returned home on his own two feet.
Saint John of Kronstadt publicly named Matrona as his replacement. Thus, he predicted her special service before the Almighty during the times of persecution of the Church.
With the advent of the revolution, her siblings became communists. Neither they nor Matrona, who never stopped treating people and prayerfully helping them, were happy with such a neighborhood in the same house. The woman had to leave her father’s house, she wandered through the basements and other people’s apartments in the capital, hiding from the police and the arrest that threatened her, two devoted assistants helped her.
The holy old woman, who by that time had lost her legs, received the sick, healed, healed mental and physical pain, strengthened her in the faith, helped her become a church member and worked miracles until her death on May 2, 1952. She predicted her death 3 days in advance, but she was very afraid to die, because she had a great Fear of God. On March 8, 2004, Saint Matrona was elevated to the rank of saints of the Russian Orthodox Church.
Her relics rest on the territory of the Intercession Monastery. Every day a huge number of pilgrims flock to the shrine with her relics, people ask for her intercession in everyday needs.
How to call upon the help of the blessed old woman
Holy Blessed Matrona of Moscow was a deeply religious Orthodox person. Her stay on earth consisted of constant study of the Holy Scriptures, compassion and helping people.
And after death, everyone who asks feels her intercession and intercession before the Lord, towards whom the old woman has great boldness.
Prayer for the health of relatives
For all of us, communication with relatives is very important. We love our parents and want them to be happy and not sick. Prayers for the health and well-being of relatives protect loved ones from negativity when we are not around.
Very often there come moments when we are far from our loved ones and are very worried if situations arise that we cannot influence in any way. But it’s also impossible to always be nearby. In such cases, prayers help a lot, they not only take care of the well-being of relatives, but also protect against the negative influence of evil forces or unkind people.
Everyone knows that like attracts like. It turns out that if everything is not in order with our health, then we begin to attract unpleasant situations on the physical level. In such cases they say that trouble does not come alone.
Or things could turn out the other way around. There will always be people who will envy someone else's happiness. They set up various intrigues or simply deprive their objects of vital energy.
As a rule, after communicating with such people, troubles begin to occur, and since the protective field is weakened, our body is more susceptible to various diseases.
And it turns out to be a vicious circle of spiritual and physical ill health.
By using certain prayers to strengthen our condition and protect ourselves, we help ourselves and our relatives restore the natural human biofield. And when a person’s energy changes to positive on the physical level, only good things happen to him.

Prayer for the health of a sick person, the strongest
The most powerful prayer for the health of a sick person is a prayer said with deep faith, sincerity and sincerity. Such prayer works even at a distance, often works real miracles, sometimes proving stronger than the most expensive medications.
It is allowed to read a prayer for the health of the sick both within the walls of the temple and at home, in front of the icons of saints.
You can ask for health and healing from illness both for yourself and for your family and friends (parents, children, husband, wife, other relatives and friends).
However, before turning to the saints with a request, you must make sure that the sick person was baptized in the church. Of course, nothing and no one forbids praying for the health of a person who has not been baptized, but in this case the effectiveness can be significantly reduced.
Not only the most powerful prayer text, but also a church prayer service for health can help a patient recover from his illness.
It is pronounced by clergy within the limits of liturgical health at the prior request of the customer. You can order a prayer service daily, or for a month, or for 40 days.
In any case, it significantly increases the chances of recovery for a person defeated by the disease.
Any prayer is a positive energy message that has great power and gives faith in healing and hope for a bright future. It allows you to convey a positive attitude to the patient, during which his health begins to gradually improve, and his illness begins to slowly recede.
Often the course of the disease worsens due to the patient’s lack of mental balance - one might say that the person is sick in spirit. Prayer for health, in this case, improves the mental state of the sick person, restores lost peace to him, and helps him cope with tormenting fears and doubts.
Which saints should we pray for the health of the sick?
With words of prayer for the health of the sick, believers most often turn to the Lord himself, to the Most Holy Theotokos, to the Blessed Elder Matrona of Moscow and to St. Nicholas the Wonderworker.
The reason why people pray to the Almighty and the Mother of God for health is clear even without explanation: in the hierarchical ladder of the Higher Powers they occupy the highest positions.
The fate of all life on Earth, including humanity, is concentrated in the hands of the Lord.
The Most Holy Theotokos, who gave this sinful world a Savior, has always been the intercessor of the weak, sheltering them with her reliable maternal wing.
Believers turn their requests to Matronushka and Nicholas the Pleasant because these saints are among the most beloved and revered in Orthodox Christianity.
Even during their earthly life, Blessed Matrona and Nicholas the Wonderworker became famous for their gift of healing; they helped a considerable number of people find a miracle of healing.
Evidence of this is thousands of stories recorded in church books and on Orthodox websites (Matrona of Moscow), preserved in ancient manuscripts, in Christian legends and traditions (Nikolai Ugodnik).
To higher powers for healing
The peculiarity of this prayer is that it refers not to any specific representative of the Higher Powers, but to everyone: to the Lord himself, to the Mother of God, to all the saints and angels.
That is why it is considered one of the most powerful prayers. If possible, it is better to read it within the walls of the temple. Instead of parentheses, it is necessary to mention the name of the patient who needs to be cured of the disease.
The text is as follows:
Prayers asking for healing and health addressed to the Lord God should be read in front of the icon of the Savior, with lit candles. This can be done both in church and at home, if for some reason there is no opportunity to visit the temple yet.
The first prayer, the text of which is presented below, can be read both for yourself and for your loved one. The phrases “God’s servant” can be replaced with “God’s servant,” and instead of parentheses, the name of the ill person can be given. Words:
Another prayer addressed to God is also considered one of the most powerful. It asks for recovery. Strength can be increased many times over by ordering a magpie for health in the temple.
Holy Mother of God
The first prayer addressed to the Blessed Virgin Mary gives good health. It is also permitted to read it both in church and at home, and it is obligatory to read it in front of the holy image of the Mother of God. You can say prayer words for yourself, for your family and friends.
The prayer rule of the second prayer for health addressed to the Mother of God is similar to the prayer rule of the first. To pronounce this text, a prerequisite is that the patient be baptized. It is advisable to read this sacred text in front of the icon of the Mother of God “Joy of All Who Sorrow.”
Matrona of Moscow
You can ask Blessed Elder Matrona for health and healing with the help of a universal prayer known to every deeply religious person. Its text has already appeared on our website several times, but we will present it again:
There is another special prayer with which they ask Matronushka for health. The words in it are:
Prayers to the Blessed Matrona must also be read before her face. But not in every church you can find the icon of Matronushka. But you can easily get out of the situation if you buy an icon with the image of the holy old woman for your home and begin to pray at home. Matrona usually does not refuse help to anyone, because she made a promise to help people even after her death.
To increase effectiveness, the Church recommends that before pronouncing it, surround yourself with good deeds: give alms, help everyone in need, make donations to the temple. Matrona of Moscow will definitely appreciate your mercy and generosity.
Nikolai Ugodnik
Those who want to get rid of illnesses and gain health pray to Nicholas the Wonderworker. The prayer is read before the image of the holy elder (both in the temple and at home). You are allowed to read the prayer text both for yourself and for your relatives and loved ones, substituting the name of the sick person instead of brackets.
When turning to representatives of the Higher Powers about healing and health, one cannot refuse drug treatment and all necessary medical examinations. We must remember that Higher powers sometimes help us through other people. Therefore, saying prayers and medical treatment should go in parallel, complement each other, and not oppose.
Very good prayers, everything is accessible and understandable. Thanks a lot!
I ask all the SAINTS to help my daughter get back on her feet after an illness, may the LORD give her health and family warmth
It is said: pray in church or at home! But not on a website on the Internet! You need to pray intimately, talking intimately with the Lord and with the Saints, but not with the whole world, and especially with strangers...!
Recently underwent major surgery. I’m going through a rehabilitation period now, it’s very difficult. I began to pray daily for healing and health. I feel that it becomes much easier after prayers.
Thank you! I read and prayed from my heart!
