Prayer for the agreement to save Russia

Lord our God, Jesus Christ, with Your most pure lips You told us: “If two of you agree on earth to ask for anything, then whatever they ask will be done for them by My Heavenly Father.”

However, not as we want, but as You, Lord; May Your holy will be done for everything. Amen.

Send, O Lord, good workers to Thy Russian field, may they announce it with the words of Thy truth, may they enlighten it with the example of life by faith.

Send, O Lord, to the people a sensitive heart, may they understand the holy speeches of Thy chosen ones, may they understand Thy holy will and do it unchangeably and with joy, may Rus' be truly holy, may it unite with one mind and one accord into one great Brotherhood of Christ, in thought, in word and deed faithful to God and His Christ.

May our Rus' be a truly ecclesiastical power, guided in all its affairs by the teachings of the Orthodox Church.

Lord, Master of the world! Visit our country with Your grace, may it be clothed with holiness, like a robe, and may its sons in their humility be worthy of the wedding garment, in which they must enter the palace of Your Kingdom. Amen.

Prayer to the Holy Trinity for the Russian people

Almighty God, You created heaven and earth - have mercy on the poor Russian people and let them know why You created them! Savior of the world, Jesus Christ, You opened the eyes of the one born blind - open the eyes of our people, so that they may know Your holy will, renounce everything bad and become a God-fearing, reasonable, hardworking and honest people!

Holy Soul, Comforter, You descended on the apostles on the fiftieth day - come and dwell in us! Warm the hearts of our spiritual shepherds and all people with holy zeal, so that the light of Divine teaching spreads across the Russian Land, and with it all the blessings of earth and heaven descend upon it!

Repentant prayer to the Lord in days of turmoil

Lord, God Almighty, look upon us, sinful and unworthy of Your children, who have sinned before You, who have angered Your goodness, who have brought Your righteous wrath upon us, who have fallen into the depths of sin.

You see, Lord, weakness and spiritual sorrow, you see the corruption of our minds and hearts, the impoverishment of faith, the departure from Your commandments, the increase in family disorder, disunity and discord in the church. You see our sorrows and sorrows from illnesses, famines and internecine warfare.

But, Most Merciful and Humane-loving Lord, enlighten, instruct and have mercy on us, the unworthy. Correct our sinful life, quench discord and discord, gather the scattered, unite the scattered, give peace to our country and deliver us from grave troubles and misfortunes.

All-holy Master, enlighten our minds with the light of the teachings of the Gospel, warm our hearts with the warmth of Thy grace and direct me to the doing of Thy commandments, so that Thy all-holy and glorious name, of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, may be glorified in us, now and forever. Amen.

Prayer to the Most Holy Theotokos for Russia

Intercessor of the Russian land and constant prayer book for us, ask the Lord for peace for the people, so that the name of God may be hallowed in us forever. Amen.

Holy New Martyrs and Confessors of Russia

Holy New Martyr and Confessor of the Russian Church, hear our fervent prayer! We, as children from you, listened to the ancient passion-bearers and thought in our hearts how kind and praiseworthy it is to imitate them, even though neither torment nor death separated them from the love of God.

It is good for you, for you followed the nature of the faith and patience of those, and since at any time it is possible to bring upon us an unexpected test, ask from the Lord for us the gift of courage, which is so useful in the life of mankind.

Having sanctified all the ends of our Fatherland through your suffering, as prayer books common to all of us, beg God to deliver our Fatherland from a yoke more terrible than any other.

And may we and our entire family be forgiven the sin that weighs heavily on the Russian people: the murder of the Tsar, the anointed of God, the saints and shepherds with their flock, and the suffering of confessors, and the desecration of our shrines.

May the schisms in our Church be abolished, may they all be one, and may the Lord bring His workers into the harvest, may the Church not become destitute of good shepherds, who are able to enlighten with the light of the true faith such a great multitude of people who have not been taught the faith or have turned away from the faith.

You are unworthy of God’s mercy, but rather suffer for your sake, may Christ our God be merciful and have mercy on all of us who call on you for help. Let us always offer Him, our Savior, together with the Father and the Holy Spirit, contrition for sins and thanksgiving for everything, glorifying Him forever and ever. Amen.

Saint Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow

About our good shepherd, the great saint Patriarch Tikhon, as if you were a city on high, your good deeds still shine before people. We, as you, standing before the throne of the Most Holy Trinity, have great boldness in prayers before the Lord.

Look now at us, sinful and unworthy of your children, for you, as you have great boldness before the Creator of all things, now we fall down and fervently pray: pray to the Lord, that He may give us the determination to acquire the piety of our fathers, which you have acquired from your youth.

In your life you were a zealous protector and keeper of the true faith; help us to unshakably observe the Orthodox faith. Your quiet soul has greatly succeeded in divine humility, teach us to nourish our minds not with the turbulent human wisdom, but with the humble knowledge of the will of God.

Before the face of the fierce enemies of Christ, you boldly confessed the True God; with your prayer, strengthen us, the faint-hearted, so that we will always and everywhere resist the spirit of atheism and flattery.

To her, saint of God, do not despise us who pray to you (names), for we ask not only for deliverance from troubles and sorrows, but for strength and firmness, generosity and love, in order to endure these misfortunes that befall us. Ask us for unflagging patience even until the end of our lives, peace with the Lord and remission of sins.

Holy Father! Tame the winds of unbelief and unrest in our country, may the Lord establish silence and piety and unfeigned love in the Russian land. With your prayers may you save us from internecine warfare, may we strengthen our Holy Orthodox Church, may it not become depleted of true shepherds, good workers who rightly rule the word of the Gospel truth. God forbid the lost sheep of Christ's flock.

Most of all, pray to the Lord of strength, that the Russian Land may be reborn with holy repentance, and with one heart and one mouth glorify Divnago in His saints, glorifying God in the Trinity, the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit forever and ever. Amen.

STAND UP TO PRAYER, ALL ORTHODOX PEOPLE!

Father Elpidius, Greek hieromonk, to all Orthodox Christians.

My dear children, I want to ask you, before the events that are approaching very quickly, before the greatest grief for all mankind, a grief that has never happened before in the life of mankind, to join a prayer chain, a chain of love - a prayer for your street, a prayer for your city, a prayer for your homeland, a prayer for your people.

Rise to prayer, everyone, all Orthodox Christians. To prayer for the Protection of God, the protection of saints, prayer for our Orthodox brothers. If you begin to pray, many places and people will be saved, protected by the Lord Himself.

Under the constant control of Satan, technology has reached such a development that human life has no value or significance for any of these builders of the kingdom of the Antichrist. It is Satan, who brings technology to his chosen fans in all spheres of human life. The devil and his pawns have prepared a terrible fate for humanity. The catastrophe that they intend to commit, BUT THE LORD ALSO ALLOWS, will take away millions of human lives. And your prayer chain of love will save entire countries from destruction. The Lord will not give us trials beyond our strength, and we all know the prayer that He wants to hear: LORD JESUS CHRIST, SON OF GOD, HAVE MERCY ON US SINNERS - we begin to read every day in

6 am 9 am 12 am 15 pm 18 pm 21 pm and who can at 12 am.

Every three hours, according to the number of the earthly life of our Lord Jesus Christ - 33 times we pray to the Lord, why we suffered, and the main thing is that everyone understands to the end - that the Lord saved us from eternal death. I don’t think such a prayer will be a burden to anyone.

All the indicated hours at which the Lord wants to hear our prayer are very important hours in our Church, in our teaching. In our Faith, everything has meaning and nothing is meaningless. Our Lord's heart bleeds for us, for what we have become and how we are moving away from Him. For many of you, the Lord’s ears are closed; He does not want any more feigned prayers and prayers that do not lead to the salvation of the soul for eternal life. The Lord knows all the secret thoughts of each of you. Even the least of the least is not hidden from Him.

When each of you falls in love with your life partner, you know what words to say and what actions to perform. To the Lord, who gives us life, and everything to life - most of us have neither words of love nor words of respect. Everything is superficial, and everything is only to fulfill our selfish desires. And very often, such verbosity of yours about completely unnecessary things most likely bothers the Lord. Because we were not born in order to acquire material things here, but we were born in order to live with dignity, to live according to the Orthodox, and to approach the end of our life, to a worthy entrance into the Kingdom of Heaven.

The Lord no longer believes us. There is no truth in us. We must understand this ourselves.

No matter how much is said, it is better to do things rather than talk. Take the rosary in your hands and begin prayer, which in our Church is known to everyone as the strongest. Lord Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. And don’t look for excuses for yourself, don’t look for excuses. You will do this to your own detriment. The time for action has come—the time for prayer. Prayers for those who care, for those who want to be saved, for those who care about their parents, their brothers and sisters, children and grandchildren, for those to whom God is the Father and the Church is the Mother.

33 times, repeating the prayer, remember the Sacrifice that the Lord made for us, at such a young age, by human standards. Remember that everything we have comes from the Lord.

From early morning, every three hours - the Lord wants you all to meet in your prayers. Everyone who considers themselves a believer is all in one prayer. EVERYTHING IS LIKE ONE LIT CANDLE, a candle lit for the Lord. In this prayer we ask the Lord for mercy. But know that such prayer burns Satan. His business is on fire. The demons and their spells are burning!

Prayers to Almighty God

On our Fatherland, Russia, pour out Your grace, O God! May all the peoples inhabiting it be united into one family, You, the Heavenly Father, confessing with one mind, organizing their entire lives with one accord according to faith, may there be one flock and one Shepherd. Let there be daily and spiritual bread for everyone without exception.

Send, O Lord, good workers to Thy Russian field, may they announce it with the words of Thy truth, may they enlighten it with the example of life by faith.

Send, O Lord, to the Russian people a sensitive heart, may they understand the holy speeches of Thy chosen ones, may they understand Thy holy will and invariably and with joy do it, may Rus' be truly holy, may it unite with one mind and one accord into one great Brotherhood of Christ, in thought , in word and deed faithful to God and His Christ. May our Rus' be a truly ecclesiastical power, guided in all its affairs by the teachings of the Orthodox Church.

Lord, Master of the world! Visit our Fatherland with Your grace, may it be clothed with holiness, like a robe, and may its sons in their humility be worthy of the wedding garment, in which they must enter into the palace of Your Kingdom. Amen!

Prayer of Saint Tikhon. Patriarch of Moscow and All Rus', about the salvation of the Russian state and the quenching of discord and disorder in it

Lord God, our Savior! We fall to You with a contrite heart and confess our sins and iniquities, as an irritant to Your compassion and a refuge from Your generosity. For we have departed from You, O Master, and have not kept Your commandments; we have done less than what You commanded us.

For this reason, you struck us with disorder, and you gave us to be trampled under foot by our enemy, and the tongue became weaker than all others, and became a parable and a reproach to our neighbor.

Great and wondrous God, repent of the evils of men, raise up the overthrown and strengthen those who fall! Send down Your heavenly power from heaven, heal the ulcers of our souls and raise us from the bed of illness, as if our loins were filled with weakness, as if we were hurt by unrighteousness and gave birth to iniquity.

Satisfy the vacillation and strife in our land, drive away from us envy and zeal, murder and drunkenness, incitement and temptation, all uncleanness, enmity and malice have entered our hearts, so that we may all love each other and remain united in You, our Lord and Master as you commanded and commanded us.

Have mercy on us, Lord, have mercy on us, for we are filled with humiliation and are not worthy to lift our hair to heaven. Remember the mercies that You showed to our fathers, turn Your anger into mercy and give us help from sorrow.

Your Church prays to You, presenting to You the intercession of Your friends, our reverend and God-bearing fathers Sergius of Radonezh and Seraphim of Sarov, Peter, Alexy, Jonah, Job, Philip, the saints of Moscow, the Hieromartyr Hermogenes, especially St. Tikhon, Patriarch of Moscow, and all the saints, in our land has shone brighter than the Most Holy Theotokos and the Ever-Virgin Mary, who from ancient times covered and interceded our country. Give understanding to all who are in power, and speak good things to them about Your Church and about all Your people. By the power of Your Cross, strengthen our army and deliver them from all slander of the enemy. Raise up for us men of strength and understanding, and give us all the spirit of wisdom and fear of God, the spirit of strength and piety.

Lord, we resort to You, teach us to do Your will, for You are our God, for You are the source of life, in Your light we will see light. Add Your mercy to those who guide You forever and ever. Amen.

Prayer for the salvation of Russia

Lord Jesus Christ, our God! Accept from us, Thy unworthy servants, this earnest prayer and, having forgiven us all our sins, remember all our enemies who hate and offend us, and do not repay them according to their deeds, but by Thy great mercy convert their infidels to orthodoxy and piety, the faithful will avoid evil and do good.

By Your omnipotent strength, graciously deliver us all and Your Holy Church from every evil situation. Our Fatherland from any atheist and the power of their freedom, but Your faithful servants, in grief and sorrow, crying out to You day and night, hear the much-painful cry, our much-merciful God, and bring their belly out of decay.

Grant peace and silence, love and affirmation and speedy reconciliation to Your people, You have redeemed them with Your Honest Blood.

But be revealed to those who have retreated from You and those who do not seek You, and not a single one of them will perish, but they will all be saved and come to the mind of truth, so that everyone in agreement and unity of mind and in unceasing love will glorify Your most honorable name, patiently, kindly, Lord, forever centuries. Amen.

Prayer for the Russian people

Amen.

Lord, God, Almighty, look upon us, Your sinful and unworthy children, who have sinned before You, who have angered Your goodness, who have brought Your righteous wrath upon us, who have fallen into the depths of sin.

You see, O Lord, our weakness and spiritual sorrow, you see the corruption of our minds and hearts, the impoverishment of faith, the departure from Your commandments, the increase in family disorder, disunity and discord in the church. You see our sorrows and sorrows, from illnesses, famines, drowning, burning and internecine warfare taking place.

Prayer of repentance, read on the day of the murder of the royal family, July 4/17

And now we cannot open our mouths, the cold and reproach will befall Thy servant and those who honor Thee. Do not betray us to the end of Your name and do not destroy Your covenant, and do not forsake Your mercy from us, for, Master, we have lost our tongues more than all others and we are humble throughout the whole earth today, sin for our sake and to bear at this time the leader, the prophet and the leader.

And now we follow with all our hearts and fear You and seek Your face, do not disgrace us, but do with us according to Your meekness, and according to the multitude of Your mercy, and prayers for the sake of Your Most Pure Mother and all Your saints, save us according to Your miracles, and give glory to Thy name, O Lord, and may all those who are evil servants of Thy be put to shame, and may they be ashamed of all power and may their strength be crushed, and may everyone understand that You are our God, one and glorious throughout the entire universe. Amen.

Prayer for the return of peaceful times to St. Rev. Ephraim the Sirin

Where am I running from You, our Lord? In what country will I hide from Your presence? Heaven is Your throne, earth is Your footstool, in the sea is Your way, in the underworld is Your dominion. If the end of the world is already near, then it will not be without Your bounties.

You know, Lord, that our iniquities are great; and we know that great are Your compassions. If Thy compassions do not appease Thee, we perish for our iniquities. Forsake us not, O Lord, O Lord; because we have eaten Your Flesh and Blood.

When the deeds of everyone are put to the test before You, Lord of all, in this last time do not turn Your face away, O Lord, from those who have confessed Your holy Name. Father, Son and Holy Soul, Comforter, save us and preserve our souls!

We beg Your goodness, Lord, forgive us our guilts, despise our iniquities; Open to us the door of Your compassions, Lord, that times of peace will come to us, and according to Your compassions, graciously accept our prayer; because to those who repent, Lord, You open the door.

Save us, O Righteous God, all together, turn Your Face away from our common and personal sins, give us back our property - Russia and help us revive it, turn back our enemies. Amen.

This prayer is read daily at 14:00 Moscow time.

Say this prayer 3 times in a row, the rest - in your own words. Out loud or silently. Kneeling or standing. In or out of church. On the street or at home. On the road or at work, depending on everyone’s situation. The main thing is from the bottom of my heart, with a cry from my soul.

Lord God, our Savior! We fall to You with a contrite heart and confess our sins and iniquities, which are an irritant to Your compassion and a barrier to Your generosity.

For we have departed from You, O Master, and have not kept Your commandments; we have done less than what You commanded us.

By the power of Your Cross, strengthen our army and deliver them from all slander of the enemy. Raise up for us men of strength and understanding and give us all the Spirit of wisdom and fear of God, the Spirit of strength and piety.

The prayer of repentance, the same thing in churches in Russia during the days of troubles.

Lord, God, Almighty, look upon us, sinners and unworthy of Your children, who have sinned before You, who have angered Your goodness, who have brought Your righteous wrath upon us, who have fallen into the depths of sin.

You see, Lord, our weakness and spiritual sorrow, you see the corruption of our minds and hearts, the impoverishment of faith, the departure from Your commandments, the increase in family disorder, disunity and discord in the church, You see our sorrows and sorrows from illnesses, famines, drowning, burning and internecine warfare taking place.

Amen.

Prayer to Saint John of Shanghai

Oh, our holy father John, good shepherd and seer of human souls! Now pray for us at the Throne of God, as he himself said after death: “Although I died, I am alive.”

Beg the Almighty God to grant us forgiveness for our sins, so that we can boldly perk up and shake off the despondency of this world and cry out to God to grant us humility and inspiration of God, God-consciousness and the spirit of piety on all the paths of our lives.

As a merciful syrup-feeder and experienced guide on earth, who is now the leader of Moses, and in the turmoil of the church, Christ’s all-encompassing admonition. Hear the groaning of the confused youths of our hard times, overwhelmed by the all-evil demon, and shake off the laziness and despondency of the shepherds, exhausted from the onslaughts of the spirit of this world and languishing in an idle stupor.

May we tearfully cry out to you, O warm prayer book, visit us orphans, drowning in the darkness of passions, waiting for your fatherly instruction, may we be illuminated by the non-evening light where you abide and pray for your children, scattered across the face of the universe, but still drawn to the light by weak love Where the light of Christ our Lord abides, to Him is honor and dominion now and ever and unto ages of ages. Amen.

Prayer for the victory of the Russian army

Lord, God of hosts, God of our salvation! God, work miracles alone! Look with mercy and generosity on Your humble servants and philanthropically hear and have mercy on us. Behold, our enemy has gathered against us to destroy us and destroy our shrines.

You, who are all aware, weigh that you have risen unrighteously against us. In the same way, sinners and unworthiness, in repentance and with tears, we pray to Thee: help us, O God, our Savior, and deliver us for the sake of Thy Name, so that our enemies never say: “God has forsaken them, and neither deliver nor save them.”

To her, Lord God, our Savior, is our strength and hope and intercession.

Do not remember the iniquities and untruths of Your people and do not turn away from us with Your anger, but in Your mercy and bounty visit Your humble servants, who fall into Your compassion: arise to our aid and allow the Russian army to win in Your Name! And Thou hast judged them to lay down their souls in battle, thereby forgive their sins, and on the day of Thy righteous reward give crowns of incorruption.

Our Father, who art above! Hallowed be Thy Name in Russia! May Your kingdom come to Russia! Thy will be done in Russia! Plant true and life-giving faith in her! To her, Lord, arise to our aid, in these days of unbelief, there is only one joy for a true Christian and a son of the Church - the unchanging, vigorous, all-good, wise and all-powerful Providence of God for people, especially for the Earthly Church of Christ, for the eternal salvation of people and for eternal, unshakable, supremely peaceful Fatherland - Heaven!

Holy army to the Heavenly Church! Take up arms for the Church of God that exists on earth: she, the beloved Bride, is in misery and suffers fierce attacks from the enemies of the Truth.

Lord, pacify Russia for the sake of Your Church, for the sake of Your poor people, stop rebellion and disorder, grant wisdom and courage to the authorities, send them many pious, wise and courageous advisers, guide youth on the true path, make the army faithful and courageous, make the priesthood zealous for to your duty, eradicate drunkenness, adultery, theft, robbery, murder, lewdness; the youth are the elders, the subordinates are the boss, the people of Russia are the right law, all those who serve everywhere submit to the beginning of all principles - the Truth and make them happy with their dues.

May there be glory to God in the highest, peace on earth and in Russia, and good will to man. Amen!

Reading rules

It should be remembered that a Christian has no earthly fatherland, since according to the word of the Gospel in Christ there is “neither Greek nor Jew.” Therefore, you should never put love for the fatherland above love for God and man. And yet, the Church itself prays for Russia and blesses all its children to pray individually for it. And this does not contradict the gospel words, because:

The Church is heavenly and earthly;
the earthly has its boundaries within which the temples are located, the saints labored;
many places of this earthly Church are sanctified by the constant presence of shrines, the appearance of the Mother of God and saints.

It is important to pray not only for yourself and loved ones, but also for your homeland

All this encourages Christians to pray for the protection of their shrines located in a certain territory from external and internal enemies, as well as from pestilence, and all other dangers. In addition, a prayer for Russia is also a request that every person living in it find God and come to salvation. Like any prayer, it is performed according to certain rules:

Orthodox prayer for Russia is not obligatory for a person, reading it is a personal prayer feat;
it is read kneeling;
After reading, three bows are made.
